'''Prerequisites:'''

* a domain name with DNSSec enabled
* Electron Cash wallet

'''Enable DNSSec'''

If you're using Namecheap go to Advanced DNS and enable DNSSec for your domain.

'''Create a new TXT record'''

The host is the first part of our alias if you set it to example then your alias example@yourdomain.com

The value part contains your BCH address in Legacy format (use a [https://bch.info/en/tools/cashaddr converter]) and your name.

Here is an example of a valid record:

 Type TXT
 Host georg
 Value oa1:bch recipient_address=15qnW5kqxKW1ooitGrH7gVrb5WZXq4Z5qy; recipient_name=Georg Engelmann;

Save all changes and wait (DNS updates can take a few minutes or even hours depending on your provider).

Now you can send BCH to yourname@yourdomain.com in Electron Cash.
