Testing addresses that have gas fees

Hey all, how do you 'test' an address when there are gas fees involved?

I want to buy some stable coins but the idea of burning $30 on a test and then $30 again on the real deal is unappealing. Especially since it will take several months to earn it back in interest.

Great question, been wondering the same this week. Want to send TUSD to Celsius to earn 10% interest. But want to send just $100NZD first to test address is right. Eth fee alone is $43 according to EasyCrypto!

I know cheaper to buy in say LTC and transfer to exchange, but withdraw fees for stable coins on exchanges are high too.

EC is a ripoff

I wonder if "the hive" is merely a reflection of crowd consensus... Lots of people, including myself, have had nothing but positive experiences with Easy Crypto.

That's because EC is active in this sub with multiple accounts

They are part of the banking cartel!

You can't... you can try using testnet, but to "test" a mainnet address you will likely need to send to that actual address.

If this is on the ETH network and ERC-20 tokens, you might be better off looking at one of the other chains that has cheaper gas fees.

If it comes to ERC tokens, then there is no way you can escape this. And this is upsetting. I mean $30 is fine but sometimes it reaches $100?? Like no way.
