ClassyCams.com now accepting Bitcoin! [NFSW!]

[evoorhees]

Saw this from a tweet yesterday (note: link is NSFW)

‏@classycams
Attention all Bitcoin users, we added a new payment option on http://classycams.com/  You can now pay using your Bitcoins through BitPay!

This is pretty significant. FINALLY the professional adult industry is starting to take notice of Bitcoin. This is the first professional cam site that I'm aware of that accepts BTC, and others will be watching. The owner of this site actually contacted me this morning, and asked for recommendations on how to promote this to the BTC community. He said that if it runs smoothly, he'll add Bitcoin support to his other cam sites.

If you like girls, I recommend giving the site a try. Deposit some money and enjoy the sweet fruits of bitcoin

Actually,

Alexa Traffic Rank: 387,024   Traffic Rank in US: 113,714

This is about 1-10k daily uniques. This is nothing in adult business.

They don't have partnership program. This is shit site - not professional. And you continue to imagine clouds in the sky.

[lucif]

http://www.camcontacts.com/ - is the true. If camcontacts attach Bitpay - i will say WOW!

And this - this is shit.

Maybe they are small but this is very interesting. The internet is for porn after all.

One chick online and she is busted LMAO and not even naked WTF is this shit. Also that sucks you can't add tokens without registering. I wish MFC took bitcoins I am going to email them today. But at lasted http://cam4btc.com was better bitcoins were directly sent into the girls wallet. I think I will try and get the girls at hunts point to accept bitcoins.

[giszmo]

uhm, I would have spent one $ to test this but … it's a joke, sorry. I'd rather see camforbitcoin fly than this.
It tells me I need 20 credits (for whatever).
I clicked the only online girl (and couldn't find the mute button which was not nice as I was in a skype session) and could see/hear her for free.

On the Credits page it doesn't tell me how many $$ there is a credit. Also the minimum is $10. Should not be necessary with bitcoin.

Code:

CCBill: Credit                     Add $10 for 10 Credits
CCBill: DirectPay                  Add €8 for 10 Credits
Pay using Bitcoins via BitPay      Add $10                 <--- For what exactly? To tip the admin?

And I had to create an account with email. Shouldn't be necessary to pay a service or to tipp as cam4btc shows.

Some of you guys are so short-sighted  

This site is new, it's a pilot site. The owner ALSO OWNS several large cam sites and is using this smaller test site to get a feel for Bitcoin.

I feel like if Amazon had a smaller testing site and started accepting Bitcoin there, the lot of you would yell out, "but it doesn't have 5,000,000 products, what crap!"

Bitcoin adoption is a process. If you don't contribute to and help each step, the next is less likely to occur.

Code:

CCBill: Credit                     Add $10 for 10 Credits
CCBill: DirectPay                  Add €8 for 10 Credits
Pay using Bitcoins via BitPay      Add $10                 <--- For what exactly? To tip the admin?

You deposit funds to the site. Then from your balance you tip the girls.

This site is new, it's a pilot site. It is where the owner of several very large cam sites is testing the system.

What are these larger cam sites?

CCBill: Credit                     Add $10 for 10 Credits
CCBill: DirectPay                  Add €8 for 10 Credits

do you tip the girls bitcoins or credits?
I would imagine that when you deposit funds, with wtv payment method, your buying credits

Giszmo is right, this site isn't exactly good at attracting new customers. Why having to deposit a minimum of 10$? Why not just tipping girls directly?

[sethsethseth]

wtf are you guys talking about.  there are two hot girls in there now.  Everyone talking about bitcoin in the chat.

[gweedo]

http://cams.camwithher.com/
http://www.icgirls.com/
http://www.nudeadultcams.com/
http://www.nonnudecams.com/

These are the other sites you can use your credits at, I never heard of one of these.

Giszmo is right, this site isn't exactly good at attracting new customers. Why having to deposit a minimum of 10$? Why not just tipping girls directly?

A) Minimum is $10 because sites in the "normal world" are used to credit card fees, etc. They have not yet realized the power of Bitcoin. Let's help them.

B) The girls don't accept Bitcoin (yet). When you deposit coins they are converted to USD for the girls who are paid normally.

If sites like this see that Bitcoin is a viable payment option (which we know it is not only viable but superior), then they will add Bitcoin to other sites. In time, Bitcoin will be everywhere. When Bitcoin is everywhere, normal girls will start realizing it make sense to be paid out in Bitcoin. Then, site operators will realize they can start cutting out visa/mastercard/etc., and will start allowing girls to be tipped directly with coin.

But you don't get to that last phase all at once. Business doesn't work that way.

Bitcoin is moving from the phase of "bitcoin only sites built by bitcoiners" to the real world, and is going to change everything. But first, we need to help with these steps along the way, and support the sites that are willing to take them.

Please trust me, they are significant. It's not LiveJasmin or Cams.com... but if LiveJasmin starts seeing all these sites with Bitcoin support, what do you suppose will happen?

i don't see anyone talking in the free chat, link?

Is it the guy that made a complete ass of himself on stripperweb and personally ensured that no one in the cam industry will ever touch bitcoin for the next decade?

This would be big news if it worked...I tried it out.

1. I went to classycams.com and registered an account
2. Clicked "Add Credits"
3. Scrolled to the bottom to find BitPay.
4. Came to the familiar BitPay page and paid my 0.577 BTC ~ 10$
5. Then I could click on a "continue" button and was sent to http://www.camwithher.com/

Yes, that is another site... camwithher.com is not classycams.com

I did not get credited to my classycams.com account
Is this 10$ out of the window?

That's probably a bug of some kind (I'll let Tony know). I deposited $10 and it worked, but the credit didn't appear for some time (I think it was one or two confs).  Refresh yours soon and perhaps it'll be visible.
