"A quarter of subscriptions on porn.com come from Bitcoin users, so will this vast market drive growth in the alternative currency?"

"don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." In this case, probably best not to ask. :)

I've become convinced that the clever porn companies out there deliberately leak videos onto Bittorrent so suckers like me will want to pay to view the rest of them :(

In 2007, porn.com became one of the most expensive domain names ever sold, when Detroit-based MXN Ltd paid $9.5m to buy it.

Quote
Now the site's owners are offering the domain for sale to anyone who will pay $50m in the digital currency.

500% in 6 years?
bitcoin adoption was supposed to inflate the price, not sure there is anything interesting in using bitcoin on a subscription based market like pr0n
