The questions abound as to whether or not adoption will happen and whether the VergeFam supports this. I can assure you, the VergeFam overwhelmingly supports this partnership (parsnip!) and it is highly excited to see XVG and Crypto go mainstream! This is a door... one of *many* that has been brought to Crypto in a way that has not been done in similar fashion before. A *massive* undertaking by the VergeDev Team and the Community took place in order to make this a reality. I highly recommend a reading here: https://medium.com/vergecurrency/verge-from-seed-to-revolution-fc3833333ba5 - This is written by StanFaas who is a Core Team Member and posted yesterday. In terms of business acceptance: Have any of you heard of a single business that does not do business with Visa/MasterCard/Discover/Amex because they allow transactions in this industry? Of course not. So when the high-and-mighties get off their high-horses and realize the depth of this partnership, they'll come around as well. You can be certain of that! Did the price of XVG drop this morning? It sure did. This is a mix of to be expected and weak hands who have no solid vision of the future. It's been discussed that the industry has brought technical innovation at a pace not commonly met in any other industry and that's also a fact. As this sets in, and additional partnerships outside of this one are opened up (because there is now case fact for Crypto uses in so called real-world settings), will the price go up? Of course it will as demand increases. Even the folks at Monero applauded the move. As well they should! The implications of this major partnership are universally good for Crypto. The third largest consumer of bandwidth from a business perspective, only behind Google and Netflix, is PornHub. Over a hundred million daily users visit PornHub each and every single day. The site has already produced banners and they are actively promoting Verge and Crypto overall. PornHub is just one site of MANY in the MindGeek plethora. The partnership is with MindGeek. Their footprint on the web is undeniable and now Crypto is going mainstream! Enjoy the ride folks! It's not every day that we get this kind of exposure and enjoy the fruits of someone else's labor (The Verge Team).

just tried it out to see how it works: Payment Information Status: Waiting for your funds...

Sounds fair having in mind that Creditcard might have some additionally processing costs added for the CC Holder.

Price has already gone past 1100 sats... and 2 million people had signed up since Premium's launch in 2015, and that the demand for subscription-based content is growing with each passing day and now with verge you had anonymity like never before...subscription gonna go through roof... To all those haters keep on hodling your shitcoin and watch this baby fly in coming days...
Very interesting statement you about the situation in the project. Perhaps I observe a course of further developments. Where did you get this confidence or is it just your desires? Although now everything is possible, is not worth a place in the market, it is constantly in motion. Let's see what will happen next.

There isn't a cost increase... the cost is based on the market price at the point of purchase. I paid 115 XVG for my next month's premium subscription.

On first look i as well thought its way more expensive, but than i remembered that with Credit Card you have some additional costs mostly. In my case, if i remember right it is at least 0.50USD per transaction, eventually more hidden fees by my bank as well. So the gap is not too big to be honest. For sure, someone familar with crypto wallets, scanning the QR code it is a fast transaction as well. To be honest i did not expect that the process being that easy but awaited some furth and back exchange, submission, whatever not. But getting there was mega easy which for sure is a big plus in that case.

At last of of the altcoin started its business with a bigger platform to ensure its capability and to become the best coin of all altcoins. This step will make it more adoptable as that company is a biggest company in adult industry and the traffic over there will most like to adopt this coin for their this use. The demand will be much higher even than ethereum in the coming future.

I think it was a good strategy to partner up with pornhub. Verge is on their home page, impossible to not see by (millions?) of users everyday. Amazing for the marketing! Think of this like sort of a "TestNet" and that a lot of more businesses will start implementing Verge in the near future.
I also believe they will introduce Verge Debit Card this year as well.
To the moon and beyond.

The partner is not only pornhub but the whole mindgeek which also include their filmmaker brazzerz. and yes you are right as that platform is the leading platform for many more so the remaining will also follow them and they will also adopt it after they see this happen easily. This will make this verge coin the best among all other and the team member was right that this coin is going to be among the top three coin sooner.

Trust me, no one using these sites will care... No one using these sites is going to care about "anonymity" enough to pay the extra costs and jump through the hoops necessary to acquire Verge and pay with it over the method they already use. First you have to acquire XVG which will either involve buying it (and incurring a fee from the service you use, provided your bank/cc even allows it) or mining it (which incurs higher energy costs since most consumer PCs aren't designed to generate large hash rates while efficiently using power). Then you might have to go through the process of converting a crypto you bought/hold into XVG, which incurs exchange fees. Then on top of all that, they're charging you more than if you'd just paid with your cc. All this so, what, a charge doesn't appear on your statement that only you see anyway? Paying extra to put your dirty laundry on a public ledger that's copied on thousands of computers doesn't seem like great value. I realize that a lot of people's knee jerk reaction is that this "partnership" will lead to mass adoption of Verge, but there is very little evidence to suggest that anyone who already pays for porn will switch to paying with XVG and even less to suggest that anyone who doesn't normally pay will begin to.

Whether you perceive the benefit or not, an absolute ton of people DO see the benefit and have already begun using XVG on the various MindGeek sites.

Having in mind that the average joe is not mining or holding them like we do with ease ...... However, after making a payment of 154 something Verge you can a confirmation email after the amount arrived from coinpayments.net here the text in case its of interest how such payment works and looks: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello, We have received all required funds for your payment of 154.19802029 XVG to MG Billing Limited and your payment is now Complete.

Pretty sure he meant the costs affilated to aquire XVG at this point. As i understand his post he means paying with a CC on an Exchange to get BTC, ETH whatever, than exchanging it into XVG and than transfering it to pornhub. He has a valid point here. Not everybody mines or sits on a bag of XVG. So the average Joe has to get these XVG from somewhere, this is again affilated with costs, not?

when too much is sent which i intentionally made you get immediatly and automatic refund email where you can claim the exact amount that was sent to much. This amount is than again sent to a wallet you adress. This is a nice feature and went easy like a charm. Just testing the whole process ..... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello, You have a refund of 5.70197971 XVG available for transaction CPCDcxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxU. This is usually due to sending not enough or too much VERGE, or waiting too long to send so it doesn't get enough confirms in time. If you would like to claim the refund click here: https://www.coinpayments.net/claim-refund-CPCDxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxU-8xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx5Note: Your refund is only available for 30 more days so don't wait around!

While I understand people use credit cards to buy BTC/ETH/LTC, I'm sure most people know better than that (or should). He wasn't referring to the cost of purchasing BTC though. It was described in an earlier post that the XVG was valued at a higher cost than what the membership typically goes for which is not the case. I paid 116 XVG for my monthly membership which when it was completed, was $9.99 - There is no upcharge involved is all I'm saying.
