Title: Has Porkbun stopped accepting Bitcoin payments? Post by: NotATether on February 04, 2024, 10:26:11 AM Now when I go to the checkout page, there is the Bitcoin / crypto button but it's redirecting to Coinbase's payment gateway. And that one includes things such as:
- Coinbase app - Coinbase Wallet app - MetaMask - WalletConnect So AFAIK, Ethereum payments are still fine. But I cannot find the option for Bitcoin anywhere. The account credit top-up screen now just redirects to https://porkbun.com/products/crypto. What's going on? Really annoying as now I have to pay a double transaction fee for my order.

Post by: aTriz on February 04, 2024, 12:30:06 PM Yeah Looks Like Crypto Payments are only available for EVM Networks Such as Eth, Base, Polygone ETC
https://www.coinbase.com/tr/blog/coinbase-commerce-is-setting-a-new-standard-for-onchain-payments-faster I've been using Namecheap since 2017 with Bitcoin. So far so good. ;D Edit: Here is a Tip that might be helpful for you: Using https://www.coinsbee.com/ You can buy a Redeem code for MyPrepaidCenter for any amount you need to spend on your domains. then you can go to https://myprepaidcenter.com/home and click redeem. it'll give you a limited-time virtual card with the balance you bought from Coinsbee. you can use that card for your domain renewals.

You can skip a fee step by using coinbase wallet, it's self custodial and you can import a wallet with a bit of change if you have one into it, then pay directly the bill. But with current fees, I really don't know if it's worth it the trouble, it's still about 2$. As for porkbun itself, the moment they asked me for a selfie was the moment I've stop thinking of them as an alternative., they might be cheaper for bulk deals but no way I'm going to do a full KYC even with a domain register nowadays.

The margin I have to pay for buying the card is very high, not as high as Ethereum ($20-30 [!]) but it's still much higher than something like Polygon or Base if you use their mainnets and not as a token on Ethereum, then the transacction fee is going to be to be a few pennies, just like in the old days of Bitcoin.

But with current fees, I really don't know if it's worth it the trouble, it's still about 2$. I actually used Coinbase Wallet but because ETH fees were so damn high and my wallet balance (barely) too low, I burned about $30 in fees trying to swap/bridge to Polygon before I could finally pay the bill :( Friendship ended with Ethereum now Polygon is my best friend. |
