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. |

There are a few projects out there already. Actually I think this is next big industry to adopt bitcoin, first drugs, now casinos everywhere, next Internet porn!  |

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! Thank you @plotsfinance for allowing me to purchase tokens at the discounted valuation of only $0.015 per token, a special offer for anyone who participated in the airdrop. Tier II round is for the public at $0.025 per token. Allocation is very limited and you need to register first using the official Part III link found on their twitter. Register using my referral code CPB5 to receive 2,500 points.

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

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