Do you keep logs of Monero payments?

We log the transaction hash and amount to confirm payment, but we don't log your IP, wallet address (which is one-time anyway), or any personally identifying info. After domain activation, payment records are retained only for accounting and dispute resolution.

What if I send the wrong amount of XMR?

Underpayment: domain won't activate. Overpayment: we'll credit your account or refund to a XMR address you provide. Contact support with your txid. Response time varies—we don't do 24/7 live chat, but we're not ghosts either.

Can I use a centralized exchange wallet to pay?

Technically yes, but some exchanges block withdrawals to payment processors or require destination address whitelisting. Use a non-custodial wallet (Feather, Cake, Monerujo) to avoid hassles and preserve privacy.

Is paying with Monero legal?

Monero itself is legal in most jurisdictions. Using it to buy a domain is no different than using cash. We operate offshore, so local payment method restrictions don't apply to us. Don't ask us for legal advice—consult a lawyer if you're worried.

What happens if Monero transaction fees spike?

They won't. Monero's dynamic block size prevents fee markets from forming. Even during 2021 bull mania, XMR fees stayed under $0.10. It's architecturally impossible for Monero to have Ethereum-style gas wars.

Do you accept other privacy coins?

Currently Monero only among privacy-focused coins. We also accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and a few others. Check the checkout page for the full list. If there's demand for Zcash shielded transactions or similar, we'll consider it.

Can I register a domain anonymously using Monero?

Yes. Skip the optional email field at signup, pay with Monero, and your registration is fully anonymous on our end. WHOIS privacy is included free on supported TLDs. Some registries (like .com, .net) require WHOIS data, but we provide privacy proxy info—never yours.

What if the Monero network is congested and confirmations are slow?

Monero's 2-minute block time is consistent. Ten confirmations = 20 minutes, period. Unlike Bitcoin, where blocks can be 1 minute or 60 minutes apart, Monero is predictable. Congestion doesn't delay confirmations, it just increases the number of transactions per block.

XMR

Buy a domain with Monero

Monero (XMR) is the heavyweight champion of transaction privacy. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, where every transaction is publicly traceable forever, Monero uses ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT to make sender, receiver, and amount fully opaque by default. No optional privacy features—it's baked into the protocol. Law enforcement hates it. Privacy advocates love it. Darknet markets accept it. And yes, you can buy domains with it. Regulatory status? Monero lives in a gray zone. Exchanges in the US, UK, Japan, South Korea, and Australia have delisted it under pressure. Binance dropped XMR in 2021. Kraken still offers it in some regions. Localmonero (peer-to-peer) shut down in 2023 after a decade of service. The coin itself isn't illegal anywhere, but governments dislike what they can't trace. Monero's privacy guarantees make it unsuitable for compliance theater, which is exactly why it works for domain registration at bunkerdomains. Common usage: darknet commerce, donations to dissidents, pay-for-VPN, offshore remittance, privacy-conscious individuals who don't want their landlord or ex-wife tracking their spending. Also used by journalists in hostile jurisdictions, crypto researchers, and anyone who thinks financial surveillance is a human rights violation. Paying for domains with Monero at bunkerdomains is simple: select your TLD, add to cart, choose XMR at checkout. We generate a payment address. You send the exact amount. Transaction confirms in under 20 minutes typically. Domain activates. No email verification required if you don't want it. No ID, no phone number, no permanent records linking you to the registration. WHOIS privacy is included for free on all TLDs that support it. We don't log IPs. We don't reply to DMCA. We don't ask questions.

Why XMR?

Untraceable by default

Ring signatures and stealth addresses mean no one—chain analysts, governments, your payment processor—can link your XMR payment to your identity or other transactions. Perfect for anonymous domain ownership.

No KYC required anywhere in the chain

You can mine XMR, buy it peer-to-peer, or use a non-KYC exchange. Then pay us. We don't ask for ID. The entire flow stays private if you want it to.

Fungible currency

Every XMR is identical. No tainted coins, no blacklists, no risk that your payment gets flagged because three hops back it touched a sanctioned wallet. Monero is cash for the internet.

Censorship-resistant

Governments can delist XMR from centralized exchanges, but they can't stop the protocol. Peer-to-peer trading and mining continue. Your domain payment can't be blocked by Visa, PayPal, or any intermediary.

Low fees, predictable

Median transaction fee is under $0.02. No gas spikes, no mempool chaos. You know what you'll pay before you send.

Aligns with bunkerdomains ethos

We're anonymous, offshore-friendly, anti-surveillance. Monero is the same. If you're registering domains to avoid deplatforming or preserve privacy, XMR is the logical payment method.

Step by step

1
Check your Monero wallet
Use a non-custodial wallet like Feather, Cake Wallet, or Monerujo. Make sure you have enough XMR to cover the domain price plus a small transaction fee (usually < $0.05).
2
Search and select your domain
Use our domain search to find an available TLD. Add it to your cart. Choose registration period (1-10 years depending on TLD).
3
Choose Monero at checkout
Select XMR as payment method. We'll generate a unique payment address and display the exact amount in XMR. The rate is locked for 30 minutes.
4
Send payment from your wallet
Copy the payment address and amount. Paste into your wallet. Send. Double-check the address—Monero transactions are irreversible. Use default priority (normal fee/speed is fine).
5
Wait for confirmation
Monero requires 10 confirmations for security (about 20 minutes). Our system monitors the blockchain. You'll see a pending status immediately after broadcast.
6
Domain activates automatically
Once confirmed, your domain is registered. You'll receive an email (if you provided one) or check your account dashboard. Set nameservers, configure DNS, deploy your site.
7
Renew with XMR anytime
We'll send renewal reminders (if you opted in). Pay the same way—Monero accepted for renewals, transfers, and additional services. No payment method lock-in.

Fees & speed

Monero transaction fees are microscopic and stable. Median fee hovers around $0.01–$0.03 regardless of network congestion, because Monero uses a dynamic block size and tail emission to keep mining incentives aligned without fee spikes. Compare that to Bitcoin (occasionally $5–$50 during bull runs) or Ethereum ($2–$200 depending on gas). Monero just works. Confirmation speed is predictable: 2-minute block time, 10 confirmations required for irreversible settlement. That's roughly 20 minutes from broadcast to domain activation. Not instant, but faster than a bank wire and dramatically more private. If you need the domain live immediately, send payment 30 minutes before you want to launch. Network reliability is high. Monero has operated continuously since 2014 without consensus failures or roll-backs. Hash rate is decentralized across CPU and GPU miners—no ASIC dominance, no risk of 51% attacks from a single mining cartel. The protocol has survived exchange delistings, regulatory pressure, and coordinated FUD campaigns. It's still here. One caveat: Monero's privacy features mean you can't prove payment with a blockchain explorer the way you can with Bitcoin. If there's a payment dispute, you'll need your transaction ID (txid) and optionally the transaction key to demonstrate you sent funds. Keep these. We log payments internally, but we can't link your txid to a public address because that's the whole point of Monero. In practice, disputes are rare—our system auto-confirms once the blockchain does. Bottom line: XMR fees are negligible, speed is adequate for domain registration, and reliability exceeds most altcoins. You're not gambling on network uptime when you pay with Monero.
