Remote teams: crypto invoices fail at handoff, not at cryptography

A distributed engineering shop billing in crypto usually dies in Slack: “did they pay?” “here’s a screenshot.” Timezones make pooled-address matching worse. The person who can read Polygonscan is asleep.

Fix the handoff

Invoice link in the same place as the GitHub milestone. Status in the invoice object, not a thread. Webhook to a bot if you must, but signed.

Quote USD so PM, client, and finance share a number. Do not make Tokyo AP convert ETH at 2am.

Settlematic Collect: issue, unique address, paid is a state. MCP vs dashboard is a separate post — operators can use either; do not mix “paid” as a vibe.
