.locker offers a Bitcoin reward to domain registrants who claim their .locker digital identity. Below is everything you need to know about the Bitcoin reward and who you need to contact if you need help.

‍How does the Bitcoin reward work?

Registrants of a .locker domain name who claim their .locker digital identity qualify for a Bitcoin reward. After domain registration, you will receive an email from .locker with your magic link to mint your .locker digital identity on the Bitcoin blockchain. Registrants must complete this identity claiming process within 14 days of registration. Once completed, we will initiate the reward to be sent to your new .locker digital wallet.

‍

Are there any terms and conditions that I need to know?

Yes, there are a few essential things you need to know about the Bitcoin reward.

1. You must claim your digital identity with .locker within 14 days of domain registration
2. Your domain name must be registered for at least 5 days before the reward can be initiated and sent. If your .locker domain is deleted within the first 5 days of registration, you will not receive the Bitcoin reward
3. You will receive your Bitcoin reward within 7 days of claiming your identity

Consider the following timeline. You register a .locker domain name on Day 0. You also claim your digital identity on day 0. This does not immediately make you eligible for the Bitcoin reward. Your domain name still needs to surpass five days of registration before you are eligible for the reward and we can initiate the transaction. By Day 6, you will become eligible and by the end of Day 7, you will receive the reward in your wallet. 

A second scenario would be this. You register a .locker domain name on Day 0, but you wait until Day 6 to claim your digital identity. Your domain name has surpassed the five day waiting period, so you immediately become eligible for the reward upon claiming your digital identity. You should expect to receive a transaction initiation email and a confirmation email for the Bitcoin deposit by day 13, or seven days after claiming your digital identity. Usually, we are able to deposit your Bitcoin well before the seven days are complete. 

What is the 5-day AGP?

You may see references to the 5-day AGP in your registrar’s terms and conditions for the Bitcoin reward. The 5-day AGP refers to the Add Grace Period for domain registrars, where they have 5 days after the initial domain registration to reverse a domain registration without a fee. This is a standard practice for ICANN-accredited domain registrars and resellers. Your .locker domain registration must surpass the 5-day AGP as a condition to receiving the Bitcoin reward. 

Do I need to configure a digital wallet with .locker to claim my reward?

Yes! We need a digital identity that’s attached to a digital wallet in order to send you Bitcoin! We make it easy for you to configure a new digital wallet with Leather. It takes just a few clicks to get set up, and then you will be well on your way to receiving your Bitcoin.

How do I check the status of my reward?

You will receive email updates about the status of your reward. After claiming your digital identity, you will receive an email when your Bitcoin reward is initiated. You will also receive a final confirmation email when the Bitcoin is deposited into your digital wallet. Note that these emails will come from .locker and not your domain registrar or reseller.

If you do not receive any of these emails, please check your spam folder before contacting support.

What if I didn’t receive the email to claim my .locker digital identity?

You should receive an email to claim your digital identity within a few hours after registration. If you don’t see the email, please check your spam folder before contacting support. The email will come from .locker and not your domain registrar.

Who should I contact if I’m having trouble claiming my .locker digital identity?

In addition to the Help Center, .locker has its very own support team to assist with claiming your .locker digital identity, managing your digital identity, and troubleshooting on the .locker dashboard. 

Can my domain registrar help troubleshoot problems with my .locker digital identity?

Your domain registrar or reseller can only help with managing your domain name or website. Management of your domain name would include tasks such as registering a .locker domain, domain renewals, or managing DNS records. 

 .locker handles anything to do with your digital identity, including claiming your identity, Bitcoin rewards, and management of your identity within the .locker app. If you experience issues with claiming your .locker digital identity, please reach out to .locker’s support team.
