Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Bitcoin OP_RETURN message?
OP_RETURN is a special Bitcoin script that allows small amounts of data (up to 80 bytes) to be permanently stored in the blockchain. This data can never be changed or deleted.
How long does processing take?
After your payment, we process your message within 48-72 hours. You will receive an email confirmation once your message is confirmed in the blockchain.
Can my message be deleted?
No, absolutely not. Once stored in the Bitcoin blockchain, your message is stored forever and immutably. That's the beauty of Bitcoin - no one can reverse it.
What characters can I use?
You can use all Unicode characters, including emojis, umlauts, and special characters. The only important thing is that your message is not larger than 80 bytes.
Can I see where my message is stored?
Yes! After processing, you'll receive the Bitcoin transaction ID. With it, you can find your message anytime on a Bitcoin block explorer like mempool.space.
Is this legal?
Yes, storing messages in the Bitcoin blockchain via OP_RETURN is completely legal and supported by the Bitcoin community. It's an official Bitcoin feature.
What happens if Bitcoin disappears?
Bitcoin is the most decentralized and secure network in the world. It's operated by thousands of computers worldwide. The probability that Bitcoin disappears is practically zero.
Can I pay with Bitcoin?
Yes, please send us a quick email at support@forever-on-bitcoin.com
Can my message be inscribed at a specific time?
Upon request via email, we can try to inscribe messages at specific times (date or block height). However, due to the nature of the Bitcoin blockchain, we cannot guarantee this. Please contact us at support@forever-on-bitcoin.com for individual requests.
Can I use multiple languages in one message?
Yes, absolutely! You can combine different languages, scripts, and even emojis in one message. The only important thing is that the entire message doesn't exceed the 80-byte limit.
What's the difference between bytes and characters?
While English letters typically use 1 byte per character, special characters, emojis, or Asian scripts can use 2-4 bytes each. The 80-byte limit refers to the actual data size, not the number of visible characters.
Can I cancel my order after payment?
Generally no, as the message becomes irreversibly stored in the blockchain after processing. If you have issues, please email us at support@forever-on-bitcoin.com and we'll see what's possible.
Can anyone see my email address on the blockchain?
No, absolutely not. Only your message is stored on the blockchain. Your email address and other personal data remain private and are never made publicly accessible.
Why Bitcoin and not other cryptocurrencies?
Bitcoin is the most secure and decentralized blockchain in the world with the highest network security. As the first and most established cryptocurrency, Bitcoin offers the best guarantee for long-term persistence of your message.
Why should I store something on the Bitcoin blockchain?
Storing data on the Bitcoin blockchain offers unique benefits: proof of existence by storing a hash of a document, preserving precious memories as gifts or for important events like birthdays and weddings, creating permanent digital time capsules, and ensuring your message becomes part of Bitcoin's immutable history that will last forever.
