I just realized that bitcoin seems to have failed so far to get any traction in the online porn world.

For example myfreecams.com uses 'tokens' to tip the ladies. I read this costs the ladies something like 30% commission. Private sessions on skype are common, ladies trying to circumvent that commission too, yet bitcoin seems to be barely used.

This worries me. If anything bitcoin should succeed there, right? Is this proof that bitcoin is failing or am I being too impatient? Is there proof that bitcoin is being adopted in the online porn world with some success, even minor?

People do pay for it still, as long as people pay for it, there will be sellers. Some people want more interaction and are willing to pay for it.

So there is definitely a market for this, especially for the fact that transactions can't be reversed, which is a problem with the porn industry.

"Hey Honey, why is there a charge on our credit card from COMEBANGMENOW.COM? Did you buy porn?"

"Why... no honey I didn't..."

Chargeback city.

Because the people who buy pr0n have dumb habits that hide Bitcoin from them. They are also likely strongly conservative people who would shun a non-government backed currency.

So, how many of those that bought porn identified themselves as conservative? Oh that's right, we don't know. Your conjecturing skills are excellent.

I just registered for the $PLOTS presale!

Bitcoin's main user-base consists mainly geeks. I have never known a geek paying for porn.

1) No way to run a subscription service [huge amount of porn revenues are from trial accounts that auto renew at full price]
2) No way to verify age from a Bitcoin address
3) Primary users of Bitcoin know where to find lots of it for free legally
4) Primary users of Bitcoin know where to find the rest of it illegally

...and how are other payment methods any better?

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

I thought bitcoin was used exclusively for all things deemed illegal, immoral, and unethical.
