Bitcoin (or others) for the Adult Industry?

[TheCaliReign]

Hi, everyone. I'm Cali Reign, a new, or I guess long absent returning member of BitcoinTalk. Active, in the adult entertainment industry. I was actually really shocked to see this forum still so active. I was a participant in GirlsGoneBitcoin, long, long, long ago. In the before for times, and have not really kept up on the industry.

In 2012-2013 there was a lot of talk about bitcoin (and I suppose blockchain in general) being used for improvements and optimization in the adult industry. Other than just straight payments (which ManyVids, Eros, etc) use, I haven't seen any real advances trickle down into the industry.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to point me to any active adult industry projects that I might check out. Yes, it's really me, feel free to reach out on any platform I use. Same Username as here is used everywhere.

Thanks in advance,

Cali

Just a little more than a month ago, there was a campaign here by Devil's Dragon. Please visit their ANN thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5260322.0

I cannot remember the project names but I'm sure there were already a number of crypto projects on the adult industry being promoted and discussed here. There was also RachelX if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure though if these projects are still active until now.

Finally, I think PornHub is accepting Verge (XVG) and Tether (USDT).

In my opinion if you want a stable and sustainable source of income, just accept bitcoin as tips. Sure you could use those other projects like SpankChain, but projects such as those mostly seem to be temporary hype; and you might end up wasting your time due to the highly likely price crashes of these altcoins.

I'm not really sure what applications that could fit blockchain + adult industry except clients using blockchain for privacy. I remember this years ago, https://intimate.io/.

And this signature campaign, [CLOSED] THE LEGENDS ROOM Signature Campaign. But it seems that the website is no longer running.

Coindesk occasionally makes articles about Bitcoin and the adult industry, you might find this interesting

But you can always choose to work for yourself instead of relying on some company, that might take away your money or breach your privacy. Use social medias to promote yourself and accept crypto directly.

Hmm, I would not know what you are looking for exactly, I have seen several projects try to do something like that but none have solidified. I think it's easier for the big adult entertainment industries to use BTC as a form of payment, a couple of months ago big brands like Brazzers and Pornhub were accepting cryptos.

Here's the project I'm talking about, it's probably already dead or something.

Thank you! That's a good place to start. The DevilsDragon thing doesn't seem like a very useful system, more like a bunch of buzzwords to try to chase an opportunity. But maybe I'm jaded 

Pornhub definitely says they will pay you as a performer in Tether. I was ecstatic when they announced giving me the option to take USDT for my payouts for content there. Alas, their implementation is not the best. I tried three times to add my wallet address and they kicked it back three times.  My favorite platform, ManyVid.com has a much better implementation for accepting crypto for payments, but I have yet to see the option to payout in crypto.

If anyone's going in the adult world then surely they have to be anonymous and hide the other world, I guess BTC stands greater chance of doing that can easily workout for the customers as well. Some of them got talkative wifey, bold, loving yet talkative, so man always wander here and there for fun, LOLZ. So yeah easy to get customers.

I have seen one user whose thread has been viewed more than 55,000 times!!! That's huge response from the BitcoinTalk forum and could be best for you to work in similar fashion.

Here is the thread : [NSFW] Lets Have Fun 18+ Only!

there are lots of Adult coins that have come in the space but I dont understand how they struggle to thrive. With so much failure, adopting bitcoin for exchange for services and other products could be reliable at the beginning before the adoption of own coins with so many attractive packages on the own coin that can encourage adoption. If anonymity is what looks attractive they should improve on coin or accept better anonymous coins, a small supply of coin will be smart

I do not think that a person who has a certain number of bitcoin coins does not have other alternative cryptocurrencies with him. Bitcoin is more of a starting point in the cryptocurrency world. One way or another, you will have to buy and sell other coins sooner or later.

I think a lot of it (from the projects I have looked at) stem from a gross misunderstanding of the adult industry. Even when they appear to partner with known entities, my guess would be the partnerships amount to little more than a branding opportunity. Success in Porn (or escorting, camming, sugaring) is a lot more nuanced than "Take off clothes, get rich" and lots of the projects I have seen seem to have a "It's PORN WE ARE ALL GOING TO GET RICH" mentality. Ignoring how low margin and competitive a lot of the market is.

You have to use a Tron wallet to get paid in USDT. Pornhub is only supporting cryptocurrencies that gave them a lot of money instead of cryptocurrencies that people actually want to use, that's why their implementation isn't ideal

I dont find this suprising since this forum is really good/well made and it will be really hard for any competition.

What improvements and optimization in the adult industry? I mean noone created and market widely accepted ANY other application of blockchain except Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is blockchain and in same time buzz word people use and have no clue what that actually means for real world usage.

THANK YOU!!!!!

I have been using Tether since its intro on Omni and was infinitely frustrated at Phub telling me I was not giving them the proper wallet ID format was fucking frustrating as hell. Understanding that the have integrated the Tron implementation of Tether and not having customer service trained on wtf that means makes way more sense.

What is the point you are trying to hammer home here? I do not argue your points on bitcoin being the superior leader in blockchain technology and implementation. I was admiring that I had not participated or viewed this forum in 7+ years and to come back and find it still active and vibrant is impressive. You would be hard pressed to find the same in forums dedicated to MANY other aspects of society popularized in 2013.

The adult industry is an ENTIRELY different animal now than it was then. Technological and platform changes, the rise of independent performers as sovereign talent apart from studios. OnlyFans, MayVids. Even Pornhub is an entirely different place than it was in 2013. This place seems, to me at least, to me pretty much the same, and I say that in very positive manner. It was nice to come back 3/4 of a decade later, and just make a post and get relevant answers immediately.

What I have not seen, that would be useful, is any blockchain identity or reputation systems being implemented in the adult space. That would be massively valuable to both sides of the market. I hope to find projects that are at least tangentially working on that

[wack slacker]

There are already a lot of projects that cater to the adult industry, but none of them have been successful and successful. Pornhub is now accepting Verge and Tether. It would be difficult for a project to be more popular than the older websites. Most important is the number of visitors and users for the project. There are also many scam adult industry projects.

Although I've never really went in-depth with the adult space of cryptos, I think I am quite sure there aren't any significant projects out there (especially on BTC) to look for. Might be the perfect opportunity for you to start working on something yourself that'd satisfy the needs you believe the crypto-adult space has..

I mostly only know that Verge once partnered with PornHub, but it honestly looked (as you said in another post of yours above) more like a way to pump their coin than anything - especially considering the time they chose to partner with PH.

Now about Bitcoin upgrades/updates that are adult services related.. I'm not sure there has been any progress on that niche to be honest, I have never really seen anyone focused much on it at all. But again, maybe this is a perfect opportunity you can't miss.

I think bitcoin can do a lot for the porn industry.  I've seen on some "dark markets" show how girls use bitcoin for tips with their shows.  Not only a good payment source but a solid "investment" as well.  I read recently how Pornhub lost it's partnership with PayPal and had been looking strongly at adding bitcoin/cryptocurrency as their main payment system.  https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2019/11/18/pornhub-and-porn-stars-could-be-about-to-give-bitcoin-a-surprise-boost/

I have been away from crypto for a while now.
I remember a project for Vice Industry Token that I thought it was promising, I even thought to take part in the ICO, but I guess it went nowhere.

I really think that crypto and porn are a good match. Both can take advantage from another.
Will be looking forward a new project in this area.
