Frequently asked questions about gruel.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for crypto payments?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

What proof does NicNames need to grant me priority on gruel.dot?

To grant trademark priority on gruel.dot, NicNames needs a valid TMCH SMD file whose encoded mark matches the gruel.dot string. The SMD is your cryptographic proof of validated trademark rights. No SMD means no priority claim is possible for gruel.dot. Submit your proof at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

How does securing gruel.dot reassure investors and partners about NicNames?

Owning gruel.dot shows investors and partners that NicNames actively controls its payment-facing identity and takes impersonation risk seriously. A clearly held gruel.dot name on a payment-purpose TLD signals operational maturity. Secure it at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

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.
