So, like i promised, i tried letting some video's play in the background again... This time for >1,5 hours... I ended up getting about 10.000 cashtoshi's. Much more than the first time, so it does indeed seem like there is no direct correlation between the number of videos, the time spent and the payout.

Thanks for really taking the time to go test things out. the feedback is so helpful!

Why don't you use dynamic fees? I can only assume you're running a node to handle payouts? doesn't bch have the 'estimatsmartfee' json-rpc call? If you don't have a node running, i'd probably go for a 2 input, 2 output tx => ~400 bytes = 400 cashtoshi fee (at 1 cashtoshi/byte).

We're using a third-party provider for now. We do plan to switch to our own nodes eventually.

Fun fact: did you know the BCH "owners" at one time tried to implement a forced tax of >10% on their miners, promising to exclude miners that didn't pay the tax? I wouldn't overpay on fees, especially not for BCH

Thats absolutely terrible but not surprising knowing the people behind it. I like BCH and I think it has a place along with BTC. Roger Ver is a bad omen on the project which makes BTC users distrust it.

I have some suggestions: get rid of whatever payment provider you're using, setup your own payment system, set a certain minimum to withdraw (say 0.0001 BCH),

This is exactly what we're working on. The system in place is only temporary. I consider it absolute robbery from the provider but we needed a quick set up. Won't be too long until we have relatively fee-less withdraws.  This is very much the 'MVP' stage to see if people actually use the service and return.

Thanks for all the suggestions and feedback so far guys. I'll make sure to make an update here for the next version of Phash.

If you are dedicated in faucet earnings, then yes, that's worse. The most consumptive use of internet quota is video content. Not bad at all I think, the fact that porn hobbyists don't really think about the time and cost of the internet. And the OP's site still cares a little about hobbyists internet costs.

Thanks for getting it. Faucets are not something people WANT to do for fun. If you already watch porn everyday and enjoy it then icing on the cake. We have returning users already who just simply enjoy beating off and getting a little coin.

Some of you guys just might not be the target audience and thats okay.

Just to be fair to you, i'll leave my cellphone on again this evening or tomorrow and let it stream 3 or 4 more video's and report earnings afterwards... It's true that one measurement might not be enough to base conclusions on.

Very fair. There seems to be an overall "is this real" kinda-thing. Got an email today asking if its legit lol. At this rate im more worried people trusting the site than other concerns.

Hope this idea wont end with a suggestion "better deposit some btc to be able to withdraw your earning". Because I have a feeling, that one day this all will end with running away with all users deposited crypto.

See my other comment correcting the earnings.

And no, users will NEVER have to deposit any amount to withdraw! What you see is what you get. We're not trying to scam anyone. I understand this is crypto and many things can end up being a scam. But we haven't done anything to dispel any trust besides being new and giving free bch away i guess.

So you'd have to watch porn non-stop for 41 hours to reach an amount you could potentially withdraw (about half an eurocent, not taking tx fees into account).

Wrong the site pays out more than this usually. Remember, earning are dynamic. Currently, the site is paying 0.00001 BCH= USD 0.006233 with a couple views. Everything is based on traffic. That is why its so difficult to pinpoint how much one can earn when things can change in a second

Seems like a good enough idea. I imagine there wouldn’t be enough revenue to really make something like this worth sitting home all day and doing, but maybe if you integrate your own ticket there is potential to create something of massive value similar to how Binance was funded with BNB. I have no doubt this sort of thing will become more common in the future as internet users smarten up to the fact they are the product in most scenarios and demand compensation.

I like the way you think! Internet users are mostly treated as cows for milking. If we gave back even just a little bit that would totally change their overall usage behavior in a more positive way.

Brave does this with their platform. you essentially agree to have ads popup as you browse but there're interesting and you get their token back in return.

I'll visit this tonight when I have nothing else to do. Cheesy
I just check a little bit of the site in my mobile phone and was happy that it is somehow convenient to scroll down unlike other where I still need to zoom, though do you plan to still make a mobile app for that soon though? Cheesy

A mobile app is entirely possible on Android! iPhone can only do a web version pushed to their home screen. Hmm, interesting thought, I might look into this if people want it Smiley

    • Does it count a video as watched, if we skip to a certain point in the video [nobody likes the intros]?
    • Just to be clear, there'll be also a reward for those that use an ad blocker of some sort?


    • Don't wanna get too far into how we go about counting watches but lets just say I dont watch the intros either Wink
    • We do not allow people to earn if they use ad blocker. we're looking up ways around this, but for now, there is a popup that makes you turn it off

    you saying you accept BCH, not Bitcoin while the pop-up message on your site said "Don't forget to create a wallet to earn Bitcoin! Otherwise, you won't be able to bank on the videos you watch." may make your site visitors loose interest and have the feeling of dishonest.

    Yeah, thanks for pointing this out, it's fixed. Originally, we were using BTC and didn't get to change text to BCH as we got a million other things going on Smiley

    Second, I know you're doing this to earn asap but you need to remove the redirect feature when clicking on the "create a wallet to earn".

    Thats a call to action button needed for people to go and create a wallet. Without it most people wander the site for a wee bit, watch a few videos and dip. That has actually improved engagement. People that go to the site are more or less interested in doing this already.

    So, why don't you make your site better than those sites about fair payments to porn stars? In my understanding, content that has been uploaded to paid sites has a copyright agreement and protection. That is, taking the smallest work that you want to re-commercialize must comply with the rules of content site sources.

    Who says we aren't gonna do this Wink? For now we are a lowly porn tube that gives back to the browsers.

    This forum has taught us how valuable other people's writings (thoughts) are and how much we hate plagiarism.
    However, content creators want to get as much profit as possible, even though their content protection is not optimal and has been downloaded and re-uploaded hundreds of times on other sites.

    Yup! Creator protection and ownership will slowly trickle down to all facets of creation for independents. It's just a slow running faucet.  Hell, You could say we're 'guilty' of taking creator videos and redistributing them, but these same creators essentially sign off on that by uploading videos to pornhub and allowing them to drive traffic by broadcasting their videos everywhere. With porn there is no stopping this. The best thing that can be done about it is paying them their fair share.... eventually.

    Maybe you can prepare everything and then make an ANN introduce to people that your site is officially launched.

    It's officially launched now! Go beat ur self silly, bud.

    Conceptually, things are still very early. Our ideas of what PornHash could be are still growing.

    Would you pay the creators as well? Not just the audience that watches it? If this became anonymous completely I think a lot of people would be interested in something like this.

    Oh man, this is definitely something in the road map once we are more established. PornHub and other sites pays creators already, I'm sure they take most of the profit and have to wait to receive pay which isn't fair as their the ones on their back so to speak  Grin. Thus, we'd flip the script somehow.

    How is that profitable on your part if it comes into this? Paying people just to watch? I'm not sure how you would operate a business like this if you were to do this long-term.

    Remember the people cuming to the site everyday aren't being paid a large chunk of money. It is very passive though it totally adds up over time. The site is still small we have more ideas than just generating revenue from ads. Ads/affiliates are very profitable if done right either way.

    So, if I understand correctly, you will payout your visitors from ads earnings. Right?
    Is this service brand new or do you already have some "customers"? I would like to see some statistics about potential earnings from there. Also, how do you convert profit from ads I guess it's from fiat ads network into crypto in such a short time.

    We have our own system in place to payout people. Not to go give too much away, but the funds we pay people come from us directly, there is no waiting on an ad network to first pay us. That is why everyone receives a "dividend" within an hour of watching a few videos. Of course, the amount paid out varies on several multiples.

    No one will crucify you if you doing legit business, even if it's from the adult industry. I personally think that the involvement of the porn industry in crypto will bring more hype than Ellon Musk.
    Currently, the Bitcoin transaction fee it's not that expensive, you should definitely integrate it.

    The Bitcoin transactions aren't that expensive but our provider we use has a fee in place that charges a bit more when it comes to that. This won't be a permanent thing for our users to have to pay a fee to withdraw. Just for now as we establish ourselves. And yeah, Ive seen some crypto related takes on adult entertainment but it feels more like a way to get rich off a hastily thrown-up ICO/NFT rather than a way than a way to break down the giants that rule over the scene.

    BTW, I meant crucify by using BCH instead of bitcoin. I think both have their place. Well at least Reddit seems to be pretty tribal about it.  Wink

    Yup, you read that right. The idea gave birth late one night watching porn. "What if I could make money watching porn?". So, then I started development on PornHash.io. We share a bit of revenue with the people coming back everyday. We all get off together! Let me know what you think of the site: PornHash.io

    Before you guys crucify me, we decided to use Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin due to the fees but we are looking into lightning possibly.
