How does owning pitstops.dot reduce phishing risk for the NicNames name?
When NicNames owns pitstops.dot, bad actors cannot register the pitstops.dot name and pass it off as your official payment page. Because .PAY signals payment intent, an impersonating pitstops.dot address is especially convincing to victims, so holding the real one removes that vector.

What compliance obligations come with pitstops.dot?
Holding pitstops.dot primarily means keeping accurate registrant data and using the name consistent with the .PAY registry's payment-related expectations.
