Personal Paymail

What is a paymail?

Paymail is a revolutionary new capability available to Bitcoin SV only. It allows you to send Bitcoin SV to paymail addresses, which look just like email addresses, instead of complicated Bitcoin SV addresses. Now you can personalize your paymail to be your own email address instead of [handle]@centbee.com. These instructions will help you set up your own email to use as your paymail in Centbee Wallet.

How to set up your Personal Paymail

Step 1

Edit your Profile in Centbee.
Add your email in the Email field.

Step 2

Add a SRV DNS Record – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record
The domain owner needs to create an SRV record with the following parameters:

Parameter	Value
Service	_bsvalias
Protocol	_tcp
name	your domain (example.com)
target - [OPTIONAL]	your domain (example.com)
TTL	3600 (see notes)
Priority	10
Weight	10
Port	443

[/su_listtable]

The TTL parameter should be set very low for test configurations (a few seconds), whereas for production deployments this should be set higher, to allow caching to work. A value of 3600 is suggested for production deployments.Although the DNS system allows for multiple records with a variety of priorities and weights, which allows for some level of traffic management, resilience, and load-balancing via DNS records, it is recommended by this specification that these considerations be handled by more modern infrastructure and only a single SRV record be created.
