Namecheap now accepts Bitcoin with zero confirmations

This is a perfect use case for zero confirmation transactions. Less friction for a legit customer and no real loss for the business if they need to roll back the transaction if it doesn't confirm. The only risk[1] I can see for Namecheap is the $.18 ICANN fee and that's assuming they're still on the hook for it if they cancel the registration.

[1]: Besides currency conversion risk of Bitcoin -> USD of course.

"Namecheap is the $.18 ICANN fee "

Competitor to namecheap here. Nope not on the hook for either the ICANN fee or the registry fee if done w/i 5 days.

Edit: for .com .org .net .info
