What precautions should be done for both the buyer and seller when exchanging BTC by wire transfer?
When I recently purchased a miner from BFL labs via wire, my bank sent me a letter saying that I had 10 days to contact them if this wire was done in error. During this 10 day window, BFL confirmed payment and proceeded with my order.
