GROUP BUY CAUTION!!!

Yesterday I joined Coinbase to pay QSC (TUSD-ERC20). I was terrified but it worked out but I am still confused. I transferred some USD to coinbase then to my USDC wallet. I saw comments above about not transferring from base. I started a transfer to QSC and it said base network, so I made it for $1 USDC. No fee. I told QSC I sent a $1 USDC test. I spent a while figuring out how to create a USDC wallet on etherium. I transferred all the money into that wallet paying etherium fees. Then QSC said they received the $1 test. So I transferred the rest via the etherium network paying another fee. It seems like I could have used base and not paid any fees. I am not sure though. Maybe they saw someone else's $1 USDC test.

I think you're talking about sending from your wallet that is in coinbase? in that case the recommendation is usually because every once and a while qsc's wallet gets tagged and then your coinbase account will get locked for sending to an illegal wallet.
 
If you are using Coinbase be careful of network selection. Their proprietary (default) network for USDC is "base" which is not acceptable to QSC. You will send $ into a black hole. (Like I did, unrecoverable)
I transferred cash from bank to Coinbase exchange then to self-custody "Coinbase Wallet" and was able to transfer USDC via base network to QSC (TUSD-ERC20). No fees at any stage. Your warning had me scared but is incorrect. Your transaction seems to have been blocked because you used the exchange to transfer instead of a self-custody wallet, not because of the base network.

Sorry I actually purchased from QST not QSC. So I don't know if self-custody wallet on base network to QSC works

May I recommend you slow down a bit.. I'm just concerned you're on your way to lose money by getting these networks confused. Glad it worked out this time... PS. In general, fees are lower on Solana (than Ethereum network/ERC20) and many vendors do not accept Base network.. which is why you keep hearing us recommend Solana network
 
Still a big chunk of change... Why didn't you get a full refund?
Less than $3 which I'm OK with. I sent on the 4th and that $300 is now worth over $400. The less communication with QSC the better at this point.

You have given instructions on how to lose money through the Base Network. QSC does not receive/recover funds sent through the black hole of Base Network, Period.

Instead of "whoopsie, my bad" in a later post you should fix it.


From QSC

QSC Payments:

Payment methods:

QSC accepts Bank transfer (USD domestic, EUR domestic, AUD domestic) and International transfers in several other currencies.

If you send a bank transfer, put your "name" as reference.

If you put "QSC", or mention the purchase of products, or something else beside your name, your transfer will be rejected.

QSC also accepts cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, USDT, USDC, ETH.

Many networks are accepted: ERC20, TRC20, Solana, Avalanche, OKTC, Polygon.


We do not accept: Base, LTC, XMR, Paypal, CC... So no need to ask for them.



This information is not on their more frequently posted promos. The mistake I made was jumping the gun and paying them promptly (which is also important because promos sell out quickly). There are thousands of dollars in the Blockchain intended for QSC just sitting there, unrecoverable because people used Base instead of Eth.

Question why do we care if the person running a GB benefits from the work they have to put in? As long as we get what we pay for and testing is done and looks good why are they a villain if they make some $$ it’s a lot of work and we benefit.

I don’t get the beef.

We don't care if people make a profit. We do care if they are lying about it.

Are there any videos out there or “instructions for dummies” but even dumbed down from that. I’m good at figuring stuff out generally, but this stuff makes my head hurt. And when money is involved and people always being freaked out, I don’t know where to begin. I signed up to one once, but had no idea what they were asking. (wanted me to verify something and i couldn’t figure out what. Then just deleted the account. lol). Any pointing in the best possible direction for accuracy, step by step, and peace of mind would be greatly appreciated. I order some stuff overseas but they accept MoneyGram which is so much easier for me. Thank you in advance for any help you all might provide. Sorry that my brain doesnt work 😩

yes the following post is a good start:


Now, the only thing I'd say is - if you follow the above, where it says ETH you replace it with SOL and where it says to use Ethereum Network, you use Solana Network instead... all other steps are identical.

Try it out with $5 to make sure you're doing everything correctly.

If in doubt, feel free to reach out to me on Telegram.
 
Thank you very much! I’ll check that out. I appreciate your kindness. Happy holidays to you and yours. 🙂

I work in tech and still wasn't comfortable. @Jailbreak7 helped me out as well. Getting a bit of SOL was the key to getting the ball rolling. You don't need much, $5. What has been working for me was to get an Exodus wallet setup and then buy PayPal Stablecoin PYUSD, transfer it to my Exodus wallet and then convert the PYUSD to USDC with SOL in my Exodus wallet to THEN transfer to vendors. Yes, it's several steps and that's that makes it more complicated. I'd also advise you stay in the Solana network when transferring. I'd also avoid the volatile Bitcoin and stay with the Stablecoins USDC/USDT depending on what the vendor accepts.
