Frequently asked questions about maunakea.dot

For point-of-sale payments, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How long does DNS propagation take after I configure maunakea.dot?

DNS changes for maunakea.dot usually propagate within minutes but can take up to 24-48 hours globally, depending on the TTL values on each record. Lowering the TTL before a planned change reduces the wait. Use a public DNS lookup tool to confirm maunakea.dot resolves consistently across resolvers.

Can a .PAY domain be longer than 63 characters for crypto payments?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

Why is impersonation on maunakea.dot harder for customers to detect?

Because .PAY implies a payment purpose, customers tend to assume any maunakea.dot address under it is legitimate, lowering their guard. That assumption is exactly why an unprotected maunakea.dot is dangerous and why NicNames should own it. https://domain.pay/register

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for point-of-sale payments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
