How to pay with crypto on Nichr

Nichr currently accepts cryptocurrency payments through OxaPay. If you've never used crypto before, this guide walks you through the entire process - from setting up a wallet to completing your first purchase.

Why use crypto?

Crypto lets you buy games without sharing your card details with an adult platform. There's no bank statement entry that mentions Nichr, no payment processor deciding whether your transaction is allowed, and no risk of your bank flagging or blocking the purchase. It's private, fast, and works anywhere in the world.

What you'll need

To pay with crypto on Nichr, you need two things: a cryptocurrency exchange account (where you buy crypto with regular money) and some crypto in your wallet. The whole setup takes about 10-15 minutes, plus whatever time your exchange takes to verify your identity.

Step 1 - Create an exchange account

A cryptocurrency exchange is where you buy crypto using your bank account or debit card. The most beginner-friendly options are:

• Coinbase - The most straightforward option if you've never touched crypto. Clean interface, available in most countries, and lets you buy with a bank transfer or card.
• Kraken - Well-established, good fees, and available in the UK, EU, and US.
• Binance - The largest exchange globally. More complex interface but lower fees. Available in most regions, though some features are restricted in certain countries.



Sign up with any of these, verify your identity (this is a legal KYC requirement similar to banks- they'll ask for a photo ID), and you're ready to buy.

Step 2 - Buy some crypto

For paying on Nichr, we recommend buying USDT (Tether) or USDC (USD Coin). These are stablecoins - they're pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, so $10 of USDT is always worth $10. No price swings, no surprises. You can also pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies, but stablecoins are the simplest since the value doesn't fluctuate.

On your exchange, navigate to the buy/trade section, select USDT or USDC, enter the amount you want (match or slightly exceed the game price to account for network fees), and confirm the purchase. Most exchanges let you pay with a bank transfer (cheapest) or debit card (fastest).

One thing to be aware of: stablecoins like USDT and USDC exist on multiple blockchain networks, and each network has different transaction fees. Right now Tron (TRC-20) is the cheapest option for USDT, with fees of just a few cents. For USDC, Solana is the best bet - near-instant and virtually free.

Step 3 - Buy a game on Nichr

Once you have crypto in your exchange wallet, buying a game is straightforward:

1. Find a game you want on Nichr and add it to your basket (or click Buy on the game page)
2. At checkout, select Pay by crypto
3. You'll be redirected to a payment page showing the amount due, a wallet address, and a QR code
4. Open your exchange app, go to the send/withdraw section, and either scan the QR code or paste the wallet address
5. Enter the exact amount shown and confirm the transaction
6. Wait for the network to confirm the payment - this usually takes a few minutes depending on the cryptocurrency and network congestion
7. Once confirmed, you'll be redirected back to Nichr and the game will appear in your library

That's it. The payment page stays open for 30 minutes, so there's no rush.

Tips

• Buy slightly more than you need. Sending crypto incurs a small network fee (a few cents to a couple of dollars depending on the network). If a game costs $9.99, having $12-13 in your wallet gives you comfortable headroom.
• Use stablecoins on a low-fee network. USDT and USDC are available on multiple networks. Tron (TRC-20) and Polygon typically have the lowest fees - often under $1. Ethereum (ERC-20) fees can be higher.
• You don't need to send from an exchange. If you already have a personal wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, etc.), you can send directly from there.

For creators

You don't need a crypto wallet to receive payments from Nichr. Creator payouts are always processed via bank transfer - crypto is only used on the buyer side. Your earnings accumulate in your creator balance in USD regardless of how the buyer paid, and payouts go straight to your bank account.

That said, if you'd like to receive payouts in crypto in the future, let us know. It's something we're open to exploring if there's enough demand. In the meantime, if you're a creator who wants to set up a personal crypto wallet for your own use, the same exchanges listed above work for receiving and holding crypto - just create an account and you'll have a wallet address ready to go.
