Pornhub now accepting Monero

[gaston castano]

okay look like this site, is grow up more and more bigger, last i hear they accept verge for payment in their site.
now they accept also monero, its looklike porn industries is grow up and never decreased.
i think in near future will accept more coin as payment.

[cryptoperkele]

Finally i have a real use case for my monero  . Accepting monero seems like a direct middle finger pointed to visa and i kinda like their attitude. And this fits Monero's imago perfectly and it's the only crypto that makes sense on this site.

[InwardContour]

It's not a surprise seeing Monero as a new addition to payment options on Pornhub since the likes of VERGE, DASH have been added already. Monero remains my most favorite privacy coin, and this is good news for it since it's all about adoption. Many people care about privacy when dealing with adult industry hence in the long run I also support OP's opinion, Monero will be a good preference for payment on Pornhub everything being equal.

I remember how drug ads were found on YouTube and many companies left, but the visa did not respond. And here, at first glance, one does not understand that the girl was 14 years old, but it was a mistake, but not so much as to completely break the relationship.

An interesting fact - pornography and any sources of its distribution, except for the porno hub, are prohibited in Russia.
The age of the participants is checked through the social network
https://vk.com/
The social network vk.com trusts its users and does not verify the data.
This is how pornography is legally distributed in Russia, and the state does not allow other services to work. For such a violation, the organizers are imprisoned.

Sex is selling mehn and viewers will do anything to see premium videos, there are handles that doesn't allow guest to view all videos hence making them private, this is why these services has increased the used of cryptocurrency in general since PayPal aren't accepted in every country.
On a second thoughts, why did they integrate monero as part of their payment system. I believe they are well informed and aware that regulation bodies don't like monero, I hope this wouldn't bring problems in the future. It will be hell globally if they crack down por*hub.

A year and a bit after Verge bought its way onto Pornhub and not sure how many months after Tron bought its way onto Pornhub it finally happened. Visa stopped offering its services to Pornhub, so they were forced to seriously looking into cryptocurrencies and finally add Monero as a payment option.  I will not be surprised if after a year Monero become most used payment option on Pornhub. Why would people want their neighbours know they use Pornhub?

I really thought they were just accepting 3 cryptocurrency but based on the image that you provided they have a lot of varieties of cryptocurrency to choose from. Looks like that they are expending their mode of payment.

Same. I did not know that they accept Waves and others. At least the particular projects didn't promote it. I don't know if you didn't know it or if you are "embarrassed" Visa and Mastercard have terminated their collaboration with Pornhub. So it's no big surprise that Pornhub is now looking to provide for alternative payment options.

[GelatikKembar]

of course Monero is the choice of pornhub, because Monero is one of the best anonymous coins,
everyone uses Monero a lot, it seems that Monero has been in the crypto currency world for a very long time, a
nd still remains in the top 100 coinmarketcap.

Who cares? They already accept many coins so it is not surprising to add more coins.
It is better for cryptocurrencies to move forward if giant real world daily use companies start accepting crypto like amazon and other physical grocery and retail stores so i think big names should try to incorporate cryptocurrencies in real world economy to really make it mainstream.

[minatour]

Awesome, for popular porn sites like pornhub to adopt the usefulness of blockchain shows cryptocurrency is now hugely accepted worldwide, I guess pornhub chooses Monero because of low transaction fee.

[Miaallen]

That is absolutely because of the ban of payments to their website by mastercard, visa card and discover as a result of allegations of child abuse levelled against them. I just don't understand why any porn site will be featuring and sexualizing underage girls like they do.

[nutildah]

Why limit your post title to only mentioning Monero?

I mean I'm happy for Monero because this means they have a use case outside of darkmarkets  but they've clearly added a lot more; lets list them:

BCH
DASH
ETH
ETC
LTC
XMR
XEM
USDT
TRX
XVG
WAVES
ZEC

Bottom line: don't give a shit because I'm not paying for porn, but ultimately any time of potential adoption is good, so all the more power to those who do...

[shoreno]

i forgot if verge created first before tron but tron is more popular than verge but still they added verge first in thier platform ? ah whatever .  trx is still added now anyway but why would a big company such as visa will end thier relationship to such a big porn player in the iundustry thesedays such as pornhub .

oh well , there must be a solid reason for that but why would pornhub adds crypto instead of finding a simillar alternative to visa ( non crypto ) because not all users till this date knows anything about crypto and theres a good number of cryptos already supported by them .

[RussianEnglishTranslation]

Monero can be tracked, at least Verge was private and fairly mineable.

Looks like the adult industry is now accepting cryptocurrency, never thought that they already accepting a variety of cryptocurrency not just Monero and Bitcoins the cryptocurrency is really spreading now that's really nice.

But anything related to porn is still prohibited in many countries, including my country, Indonesia. The government continues to block pornographic sites, including PornHub. Yes, I see there are some adult projects accept Cryptocurrency, there are even bounty projects are porn / adult based.

[Shasha80]

Many underestimate adult sites like Pornhub have no effect on cryptocurrency, but for me Pornhub as the most popular adult site
today with very many members who can popularize cryptocurrency. And I am also sure that Pornhub accepted Monero and was very
welcomed by Pornhub's premium members who wanted privacy, because we know Monero is the most popular privacy coins compared
to the others. And Monero it is very suitable for adoption by adult companies that really need privacy.

That's the reason why VPN exist, it's to bypass the restrictions in your country. Having them integrate Monero to their service would make people in the countries like yours flock pornhub again because of the anonymous nature of the said cryptocurrency, assuming they want to use Monero for the benefits.

Anyways, we now have at least 2 giant companies that has making significant leap in adopting cryptocurrencies.

[nomenclatur]

I have seen that so many cryptocurrencies that have been registered on pornhub for monero payments have entered the list and it makes it easy for pornhub users to buy premium members but monero gas costs and prices are also very not very stable which makes higher payments, of course, what is interesting monero has Investors are so large that PornHub puts it on their payments if they think USDT TRC20 is the best option for payments because it's easier and faster.

[Shallow]

I agree with you about the case of Monero being mostly used and this is because of its outstanding features like privacy and anonymity, and till date it has remained the best in that aspect. However, this is really a good involvement from Pornhub because they realised if they wait any longer for VISA to accept them back, they might lose their business and customers and hence looking towards crypto, therefore this also confirms the fact that crypto has come to say and will also contribute its qouta in keeping and advancing businesses such that, they do not lose their customers but keeps gaining more.
Lastly, when most people finds out that Monero has been added and it has a privacy feature, I think more people will use this particular adult industry more than others, since they know their identity is hidden.

[malekbaba]

Crypto was being utilized in dark industries like porn, drugs from long time. People can easily hide the identity. It feels good when we find real life use of crypto. Cause we desire global adoption. But personally I think, these sorts of use case of crypto actually create bad image. When there was no crypto, there were porns, drugs dealing. But people used to think that crypto was made for such bad dealings.
