C-12: Deposit address belongs to this specific order

IdentifierC-12

Weightcritical

AppliedBefore funding (M3), Before any coin leaves your wallet

StatementThe address you are sending to was issued by this order, opened fresh, and not reused from an earlier one.

Grading criteria

PASSCopied from the order screen in this session.

PARTIALCopied from the order screen but earlier in the day.

FAILReused from a previous order or copied from a saved note.

COSTPayment to a retired address reaches the market and not your order, which turns a simple purchase into a support case with an uncertain outcome.

Why addresses are per order

A fresh deposit address lets the market attribute an incoming payment to a specific order without you having to label anything. That is convenient and it means an address from last week belongs to last week order rather than to you generally.

How this fails

Sending to an address kept in a note from a previous purchase
Reusing a wallet address book entry saved during an earlier order
Copying from a browser tab left open from a previous session
Assuming the address is stable because it looks familiar

What happens on failure

The coin is not lost in the sense of being gone. It reached the market. It is simply not attached to the order you wanted funded, which means resolving it requires support and evidence rather than a click. That is recoverable and it is slower and less certain than getting it right the first time.

Passing reliably

Open the order, copy from the order screen, send immediately. Do not save deposit addresses in a wallet address book, because the address book is what makes the mistake easy.
