Welcome to the group!

Well done!

I am confused.  Did you buy some futures?

Would be great to hear why?

Thanks Salty!

I think I will draft up a post for a thread, and then let folks on relevant sex work forums know about it.  Do threads expire after a certain time period?

Thanks everyone!

I guess what it is that I'm possibly looking for for the sex work services is what seems to be called a 'child board,' in the Marketplace - Services board; it would be good to put a sticky there saying that you have to be over the legal age in your country of residence to view the board, and it wouldn't be offensive to other readers.  Who is the best person to ask about setting something like this up?

Hi everybody,

So, I'm a sex worker (BDSM Mistress) in the UK and I'm really fascinated with Bitcoin at the moment - particularly in exploring and building the economy for creating picture and video content for BTC, either tips or fixed rates.  I'm also very interested in sex workers who accept BTC at point of sale.

At the moment the Bitcoin economy is quite new, and while some people may have problems with it, sex work is indeed among the oldest professions I would love to start a thread or even a sub-group here for sex workers interested in Bitcoin.  By sharing our stories and helping each other get set up for using Bitcoin in business, we are indeed expanding the Bitcoin economy and strengthening Bitcoin as a currency, even if we are a bit controversial

I would also love to start a group in the Marketplace - Services section for camming/naughty pictures/other forms of sex work for Bitcoin, where customers and providers can benefit from the robust community and reputation system here.

I'm very aware that there are problems with regards to legality - my work is legal in the UK, where I am based, and I comply with all UK laws.  There's also the very important cultural and social issue of keeping racy content in the forum in places where people want to see it and it's appropriate.  I do think that the group for sex workers is important - I know getting set up for Bitcoin online and screening Bitcoin clients has its own particular challenges for sex workers, and the forum could be very useful for us.

That's why I decided to start a conversation here in Meta - what do people think?

Thanks all, I am finding this a very positive and helpful forum thus far

Might get one of these for MAGPIE!

I look forward to meeting some Forum users remotely and in person and them sharing their viewpoints on the site - for those curious, there are reviews for me at AdultWork, McCoy's, and elsewhere

I haven't heard such genius since I was a teenager on Slashdot be still my quaking heart!! 

Like everything else in the market, my services are there for those who want them.  thanks for the warm welcome everyone xx

Various forms of sex work vary in their legality - I believe there's an escort agency in London that takes bitcoin!

Thank you Mark! If there is a Bitcoin merchant directory here or elsewhere I'd like to list in it I may consider organising a sex work forum here or elsewhere.

The reddit bitcoin robot has a thing called tip 1 beer - it gives you about $3.50 in btc

Thanks!  I have found this forum very helpful and encouraging thus far

Hi Bitcoiners!

I'm Mistress Magpie - I'm a 34 year old American lady based in Plymouth, UK.

I take Bitcoin at point of sale for my personal services, and I also take bitcoin for remote services - phone-sex, cam sessions, and remote domination e.g. chastity, slave training, etc.  I can also make bespoke still images or movies for you

I have 15 years experience in BDSM and am an innovative and safe player.

I am a strong, political believer in Bitcoin, and I encourage my customers to use it (and teach them how if need be) because it's a fantastic, secure, anonymous currency.

I also love doing photos for tips!  It satisfies my ADD and my wallet at the same time.

I will only provide services for you if they are legal in your country of origin.  My services are legal in the UK, where I am resident.

I'm also very happy to answer anyone's questions about BDSM, sex work, etc.

My website is in my profile and my signature, as is my tip address.  Here's a few pics (NSFW)

Happy Bitcoining!!

BDSM is legitimate - people who are into kink can't really change it

I've been involved in the BDSM community for 15 years, and have years of experience in the activities which I undertake.  I'm surprised to see the pathologisation of bdsm in a forum dedicated to discussion of a libertarian cryptocurrency.

By accepting bitcoin and using it as a currency I am supporting its adoption, in a small way.

I can understand folks' issues, given the association with the darknet, but that's not me. I'd never use the darknet, but I support btc politically.

I am very happy to pass on information about kink and BDSM confidentially for anyone who would like it.

What one people consider a service worthy of BTC, others do not.

I would never pay good coin for web design, for example

Very happy to answer questions - sorry Mme. Rax for hijacking your thread

Bitcoin is fantastic for people buying adult services, if they want security and anonymity

A bdsm and sex work section moderated by experienced people would be good, to minimise exploitation.  I don't do financial domination myself, but it is an actual fetish and by its nature is quite rife with scammers!

hilariousandco, I totally support other people's right to wear the uniform for fetish parties and stuff it's a personal preference of mine as a socialist out of respect for history, but I go by the philosophy:

YKINMKBYKIOK - Your kink is not my kink, but your kink is OK!

Nice to see another socialist on here - I wonder if there is a socialist group on the site?
