Frequently asked questions about merengue.dot

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for mobile money?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Who should consider registering merengue.dot first?

Brands that own the trademark for merengue.dot should act first, since they get priority for merengue.dot via an SMD file during the trademark window. After that, anyone wanting the payment address can place a first-day pre-order. Begin at /register.

For crypto payments, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?

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.

How does impersonation on merengue.dot differ from email spoofing?

Email spoofing fakes a sender, while controlling merengue.dot lets an attacker run a whole fraudulent payment site under the real merengue.dot name. The domain-level attack is harder to detect and more convincing, so denying it by owning merengue.dot is a high-value protection for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register
