Crypto Payment Guide

Cryptocurrency payments offer lower fees and faster processing compared to traditional payment methods. This guide walks you through the entire process, even if you’ve never used crypto before.

​

Why Choose Cryptocurrency?

✅ Lower fees - Often cheaper than card payments
✅ Global availability - Works everywhere in the world
✅ Fast processing - Usually completes in minutes
✅ No chargebacks - Secure for both parties
✅ Privacy-friendly - Less personal information required

​

Supported Cryptocurrencies

We accept these cryptocurrencies (ordered by fees, lowest to highest):

💡 Pro tip: Choose BNB for lowest fees or USDT/USDC for stable value (won’t change price while you’re buying).

​

What You’ll Need

Before starting, make sure you have:

✅ Smartphone or computer with internet
✅ Payment method (credit card, bank account, or local payment)
✅ Email address for communication
✅ 15-30 minutes to complete the process

​

Step 1: Download Trust Wallet

Trust Wallet is a popular, secure app for buying and storing cryptocurrency.

​

Download the App

Visit Trust Wallet’s official website and choose your device:

• 📱 iPhone: Download from App Store
• 📱 Android: Download from Google Play Store
• 💻 Desktop: Install Chrome extension

​

Set Up Your Wallet

1. Install and open the app
2. Select “Create a new wallet”
3. Choose “Secret phrase” as wallet type
4. 🚨 CRITICAL: Backup your secret phrase to iCloud (iOS) or Google Drive (Android)

⚠️ WARNING: Your secret phrase is like the master key to your wallet. NEVER share it with anyone. This is the ONLY way to recover your wallet if you lose your phone.

​

Step 2: Buy Cryptocurrency

​

Navigate to Buy Section

In Trust Wallet, tap the “Buy” button.

​

Choose Your Cryptocurrency

Pick based on your priorities:

• 💰 Want lowest fees: Choose BNB
• 💵 Want stable price: Choose USDT or USDC
• 🔵 Want popular option: Choose ETH
• 🟠 Want Bitcoin: Choose BTC (highest fees)

​

Select Payment Method

Choose how you want to pay:

• 💳 Credit/Debit Card - Most common
• 🏦 Bank Transfer - Usually cheaper fees
• 🌍 Local payment methods - Varies by country

​

Choose Provider

Trust Wallet will show you different providers. MoonPay is usually the most reliable and cost-effective.

💡 Tip: If one provider doesn’t work, try another. If 2-3 providers fail, your bank might be blocking crypto purchases (call them to allow it).

​

Complete Your Purchase

1. Follow the provider’s steps to complete your purchase
2. Wait a few minutes for crypto to appear in your wallet
3. Take a screenshot of your successful purchase

​

Step 3: Request Payment Address

​

Email Us for Wallet Address

Once you’ve bought cryptocurrency, email tony@dopaminegirl.com with this information:

Email Subject: “Crypto Payment - [YourUsername]”

Email Body:

Hi,

I'd like to make a crypto payment with the following details:

- Type of crypto: [BNB/ETH/USDT/USDC/BTC]
- Amount I bought: $[amount] USD
- My username/account: [your username]

Please send me the wallet address to send payment to.

Thanks!

​

Receive Payment Address

You’ll get back:

• Wallet address (long string of letters/numbers)
• QR code for easy scanning
• Exact amount to send

🔒 Why this process? Personal wallet addresses help us reduce fees for everyone and provide better tracking.

​

Step 4: Send Your Payment

​

Open Trust Wallet

Find and tap on the cryptocurrency you bought.

​

Start Transfer

Tap the “Send” button for your chosen crypto.

​

Enter Payment Address

You have two options:

1. 📱 Scan QR code (easiest) - Use your phone camera
2. 📋 Copy/paste address - Type or paste the long address

​

⚠️ CRITICAL: Verify Address

Before sending, always check:

• First 5 characters of the address match
• Last 5 characters of the address match
• Total amount is correct

🚨 DANGER: Sending to wrong address = permanent loss of money. Always double-check!

​

Send Payment

1. Review all details carefully
2. Check the gas fee (network cost)
3. Confirm and send the transaction
4. Save transaction ID for your records

​

Understanding Fees

When you send crypto, you’ll see a “gas fee” or “network fee”:

• 💰 What it is: Cost to process transaction on the blockchain
• 💸 Who gets it: The blockchain network (not us)
• 📊 Fee amounts: BNB < ETH/USDT/USDC < BTC
• ⏰ Why it varies: Based on network traffic (like highway tolls during rush hour)

💡 Tip: Fees are usually lower during weekends and off-peak hours.
