Frequently asked questions about counting.dot
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for loan repayments?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Can I get notified when counting.dot becomes available?
If counting.dot is reserved or registered today, the practical step is to monitor it and re-check regularly, since registry status can change without a set date. Start by looking up counting.dot at https://domain.pay/domains to confirm its current state and your options. Re-check counting.dot often.
Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for a donation platform?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
How do I prove the label in counting.dot is mine during priority?
You prove the counting.dot string in counting.dot is yours by submitting a valid TMCH SMD file whose encoded mark matches that string. NicNames verifies the signed file automatically to grant priority. No other paperwork substitutes for the SMD on counting.dot. Provide it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.
Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my point-of-sale payments project?
For point-of-sale payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
