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 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.
