The Namecheap Bitcoin integration is much hyped after the announcing $73M in revenue. #777212
So today I was excited to transfer my domains to them... only to discover they don't support lightning.
It hurts because I don't see a reason why purchasing/renewing/transferring a domain needs to exist on the blockchain forever.
Hosterbox accepts lightning.
given canada's recent great history of leaving people alone i'dnt necessarily run towards a canadian domain registrar :)
Copy that 🤣
Fair point. I've been using them since 2021. It is pretty awesome to pay in lightning, no id.
Can you use TerraForm with their VPS/hosting offerings?
Haven't tried. I just use them for a shared hosting setup for a pretty simple website.
Thanks for bringing this up. But consider this.
They should accept lighting but the difference between accepting bitcoin on-chain and running a lightning node and managing inbound liquidity or paying someone else to do that for you isn't nothing. Have you contacted them requesting it? I suspect if they get enough requests they might do it.
Yep, I left feedback during checkout.
I noticed this too. They claim to but it doesn't give the option. Pretty disappointing.
You can always do a bolt swap. Also consider njal.la, bit more expensive but reliable
