Frequently asked questions about foss.dot

For online checkout, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

What is a Signed Mark Data file in the context of foss.dot?

Signed Mark Data (SMD) is the cryptographically signed file the TMCH issues to prove your validated trademark. For foss.dot, it is the credential NicNames checks to grant trademark priority on the foss.dot string. It encodes the mark, its dates, and a signature. Use it to claim foss.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Where do I pre-order once I've chosen over foss.dot?

Once you've chosen a name over foss.dot, you pre-order it on domain.pay's register page at the standard $100, with failed attempts refundable. The flow is the same whether you pick foss.dot or a foss.dot variant. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Are short .PAY names always available?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

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.
