Questions are welcome.

No. You need a wallet that can safely hold Ordinals, a small amount of BTC or $DOG for payment, and the address where your dog should live. The mint page guides you through the rest. You can even pay from an exchange such as Coinbase, Kraken or Binance: each order receives its own payment address, like a checkout number made just for you. Send the exact total shown and remember that an exchange may add its own withdrawal fee.

Your dog lives in an Ordinals-compatible wallet you control. On the mint page, enter a Taproot receive address (it begins bc1p…) from a wallet such as Xverse, Magic Eden Wallet, Sparrow, Leather or ord. That is your dog’s permanent destination. Never use an exchange deposit address for delivery; exchanges are fine for sending payment, but they do not safely hold inscriptions and the dog could be lost.

You receive a Bitcoin inscription: a permanent entry that carries your dog’s unique identity and points to the collection’s shared drawing recipes. Your browser follows those recipes to create the art. A random dog from the remaining pack is sent to your wallet, and it appears the moment the transaction confirms. The friendly version and the deeper technical trail are both on How it works.

You can see every dog the collection can produce. The drawing recipe is published on Bitcoin, so anyone willing to read it can work out exactly what any dog in the pack looks like—you, us, and any stranger, all with the same access. What you cannot choose is which one you get: your dog is drawn at random from whatever remains when your payment confirms. So the art holds no secrets, but the draw is still a draw. See how to check it yourself.

The dog costs 21,000 sats. Two Bitcoin costs are added and shown before you order: the cost of writing the dog onto Bitcoin and the cost of delivering it to your wallet. The total is locked when you create the order, so it will not change while you pay. There are no other charges from us, though your wallet or exchange may add its normal sending fee. You can pay the displayed total in BTC or, when available, in $DOG GO TO THE MOON at the quoted rate.

Yes, while the 1,000-dog holder pool lasts. An address that held at least one Runestone at the launch snapshot may claim one dog without the 21,000-sat price. An address that held at least 890,000 $DOG GO TO THE MOON on Bitcoin may also claim one. One free dog per address — holding both, extra stones, or a larger $DOG balance do not add more. The 500-sat inscription cost and the network fee still apply. Enter the same holding address on the mint page and the checker will explain what remains. Snapshot details are published at launch, and delivery is locked to that address.

Yes. Choose Pay with $DOG and the entire checkout total—including the 500-sat inscription cost and the network fee—is converted to DOG GO TO THE MOON at the current rate. That amount is locked when the order is created. The page gives you one Taproot payment address; send the exact total there in one payment from a runes wallet such as Xverse, UniSat or Magic Eden.

Deposit addresses expire after 24 hours — unpaid orders simply expire and you can start a new one. Send the exact amount shown at checkout. Short payments are flagged for manual review and refund — refunds are handled by a human, not automatically, so contact us with your order id and we'll sort it out. Small overpayments are kept; large ones, reach out.

No. All three ways of seeing your dog now live on Bitcoin. Two of them—the pixel portrait and the raised portrait—are hash-sealed and cannot be altered or removed. The full character you can turn is on chain as well, but deliberately upgradeable: a newer, better viewer can be added later. It can only improve, never repaint, because it reads the very same sealed identity—the same seed, the same traits, the same dog.

A handful of one-of-one Big Dogs are made by hand to remember people, movements and moments in Bitcoin culture. They never appear in the public mint and enter the story on their own schedule. They are gestures of respect, not endorsements or partnerships.

Each internet connection can create up to 10 orders per hour. If you reach that limit, wait a little and try again. “Needs attention” means a person must review the payment—usually because the amount or asset did not match the order. Keep your order number and contact us; we will sort it out.
