  "method": "For every crypto order, the payment is matched to the block that carried it and that block's public timestamp is used. confirmWait is block timestamp to payment marked paid, and includes the merchant's own detection time. sendDelay is invoice opened to block timestamp, i.e. how long the buyer took to send.",

    "Not a sample: every crypto payment taken up to the measurement date, minus a couple of transactions that could not be resolved on a public explorer.",
    "Sample sizes and order counts are deliberately not published.",
    "GRAM is the ticker shown at checkout for the coin on the TON network, formerly Toncoin; payments made under either ticker are the same asset on the same chain and are counted together.",
