I started a porn site that pays you in Bitcoin.

[Pornhash]

Yup, you read that right. The idea gave birth late one night watching porn. "What if I could make money watching porn?". So, then I started development on PornHash.io. We share a bit of revenue with the people coming back everyday. We all get off together! Let me know what you think of the site: PornHash.io

Before you guys crucify me, we decided to use Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin due to the fees but we are looking into lightning possibly.

So, if I understand correctly, you will payout your visitors from ads earnings. Right?
Is this service brand new or do you already have some "customers"? I would like to see some statistics about potential earnings from there. Also, how do you convert profit from ads ^{I guess it's from fiat ads network} into crypto in such a short time.

No one will crucify you if you doing legit business, even if it's from the adult industry. I personally think that the involvement of the porn industry in crypto will bring more hype than Ellon Musk.
Currently, the Bitcoin transaction fee it's not that expensive, you should definitely integrate it.

We have our own system in place to payout people. Not to go give too much away, but the funds we pay people come from us directly, there is no waiting on an ad network to first pay us. That is why everyone receives a "dividend" within an hour of watching a few videos. Of course, the amount paid out varies on several multiples.

The Bitcoin transactions aren't that expensive but our provider we use has a fee in place that charges a bit more when it comes to that. This won't be a permanent thing for our users to have to pay a fee to withdraw. Just for now as we establish ourselves. And yeah, Ive seen some crypto related takes on adult entertainment but it feels more like a way to get rich off a hastily thrown-up ICO/NFT rather than a way than a way to break down the giants that rule over the scene.

BTW, I meant crucify by using BCH instead of bitcoin. I think both have their place. Well at least Reddit seems to be pretty tribal about it.

Would you pay the creators as well? Not just the audience that watches it? If this became anonymous completely I think a lot of people would be interested in something like this.

How is that profitable on your part if it comes into this? Paying people just to watch? I'm not sure how you would operate a business like this if you were to do this long-term.

Oh man, this is definitely something in the road map once we are more established. PornHub and other sites pays creators already, I'm sure they take most of the profit and have to wait to receive pay which isn't fair as their the ones on their back so to speak  . Thus, we'd flip the script somehow.

Remember the people cuming to the site everyday aren't being paid a large chunk of money. It is very passive though it totally adds up over time. The site is still small we have more ideas than just generating revenue from ads. Ads/affiliates are very profitable if done right either way.

Feel free to hit me with any marketing ideas! It feels cool sharing the journey with you guys

So, why don't you make your site better than those sites about fair payments to porn stars? In my understanding, content that has been uploaded to paid sites has a copyright agreement and protection. That is, taking the smallest work that you want to re-commercialize must comply with the rules of content site sources.

This forum has taught us how valuable other people's writings (thoughts) are and how much we hate plagiarism.
However, content creators want to get as much profit as possible, even though their content protection is not optimal and has been downloaded and re-uploaded hundreds of times on other sites.

[ethereumhunter]

I guess that is paid per view

But if it compares to PPV in the fiat currency, usually we need to watch the ad/movie/something like that for a random time so we can get credited by watching that. If that can really help people to earn money, they will be happy to see a porn movie while they can get paid in bitcoin

Maybe you can prepare everything and then make an ANN introduce to people that your site is officially launched.

It's officially launched now! Go beat ur self silly, bud.

Conceptually, things are still very early. Our ideas of what PornHash could be are still growing.

Who says we aren't gonna do this ? For now we are a lowly porn tube that gives back to the browsers.

Yup! Creator protection and ownership will slowly trickle down to all facets of creation for independents. It's just a slow running faucet.  Hell, You could say we're 'guilty' of taking creator videos and redistributing them, but these same creators essentially sign off on that by uploading videos to pornhub and allowing them to drive traffic by broadcasting their videos everywhere. With porn there is no stopping this. The best thing that can be done about it is paying them their fair share.... eventually.

[OgNasty]

Seems like a good enough idea. I imagine there wouldn’t be enough revenue to really make something like this worth sitting home all day and doing, but maybe if you integrate your own ticket there is potential to create something of massive value similar to how Binance was funded with BNB. I have no doubt this sort of thing will become more common in the future as internet users smarten up to the fact they are the product in most scenarios and demand compensation.

[ABCbits]

People don't care as long as your website doesn't say something like "BCH is the only good cryptocurrency". But consider accepting few popular cryptocurrency to attract more users. I saw ETH, LTC and DOGE sometimes accepted on merchant which sell digital goods.

How much can I earn?
We pay dynamically based on things like web traffic and the amount of videos a user has watched. There is not a hard cap on how much you can earn within a day.

• Does it count a video as watched, if we skip to a certain point in the video ^{[nobody likes the intros]}?
• Just to be clear, there'll be also a reward for those that use an ad blocker of some sort?

Oh man, this is definitely something in the road map once we are more established.

Not sure how PH pays its performers, but the moment you implement such a thing, it'll probably lead to the shortage of anonymous masks on the internet

BTW, I meant crucify by using BCH instead of bitcoin. I think both have their place. Well at least Reddit seems to be pretty tribal about it. 

Lol.  Some folks here are tribal about bitcoin as well, though bitcointalk might be more tolerant than Reddit.  I can't stand Reddit and don't visit it often, so I can't say for sure.

You'll probably get a lot of interest if you're paying out in crypto--there are people on this forum who'll do pretty much anything for a few satoshis (or tiny amounts of whatever coin is available), and since most of them are probably young males my guess is that you're recruiting in the right place.

I can't stand porn myself, but good luck with your project.  You just have to have enough income to pay all of the professional jerk-offs, and be prepared for a deluge of interested members if they happen to come across this thread.  Bitcoin and porn kind of suit each other because of the pseudo-anonymity aspect.

[TopTort777]

Where do you plan to get site content? You plan to have partnerships with porn studios or reward users for uploading content?

You will pay viewers part from what you get for running ads before videos - but as far as I know, such promotion pays few dollars for a thousand views or for action taken (like clicking, subscribing, buying). If users needs to watch thousand videos to get "part of your few dollars", that will be less profitable than captcha solving.

And another thing, the Internet if full or porn, how you gonna compete with all the porn sites?

P.S. I just cant imagine your budget for this whole thing. Coding can be free if you can do it. Paying royalties, paying viewers, competing with other porn giant sites. Will it really be profitable project?

[suzanne5223]

It is nice to see every industry planning to accept cryptocurrency their payment and it is good that you have already launched your site but you saying you accept BCH, not Bitcoin while the pop-up message on your site said "Don't forget to create a wallet to earn Bitcoin! Otherwise, you won't be able to bank on the videos you watch." may make your site visitors loose interest and have the feeling of dishonest.
Second, I know you're doing this to earn asap but you need to remove the redirect feature when clicking on the "create a wallet to earn".

I will also advise you to see how reputable porn sites that receive crypto as payment operate so you can provide good services.

[mocacinno]

I like the general idear of what you're doing... However, i did try to register, opened about 4 or 5 video's on my cellphone, watched 4 or 5 full adds before the videos and at least a dozen banners, let the videos play for a while... And didn't earn a single satoshi...
I didn't really expect to see more payout than, let's say, a BCH faucet, but 0 sats seems like lowballing  

I also agree that LTC or ETH would be better alternatives than BCH... BCH isn't well liked by a lot of people in this community.

Unfortunately, because of work, I have to spend some minutes of my life on Twitter and Reddit. At least here, the moderation and communities aren't snorting coke all the time and you don't get the shillers if you don't visit altsections (all due respect of course).

But OP yeah, you're better off allowing people to have a choice of crypto. I have to say, BTC fees really, really aren't so expensive these days EVEN without L2. And you have to allow Bitcoin, it's what most of us on the forum have and use. Not personally against BCH myself, but I wouldn't even know where to liquidate it as the platforms I use are for BTC.

Heck I even have a Dogecoin wallet.

Same. On a computer, adblock disabled as requested by the site. Clicked on a few ads in the videos. Surfed a few pages. Not a single satoshi (cashtoshi?)

If the pay is that low, I'd go lower than BCH or ETH, for example Dogecoin. This would allow the user see that he has been earning something, even if it's a tiny fraction of a cent.

Before you guys crucify me, we decided to use Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin due to the fees but we are looking into lightning possibly.

Bitcoin fees are not big (just stay at least on SegWit), so BCH is not a valid choice, whatever you say. And if you set a minimum threshold for payment and batch it like freebitco.in does, you won't have to pay much (you'll probably have to do something like that whatever coins you offer anyway).

I'll visit this tonight when I have nothing else to do.
I just check a little bit of the site in my mobile phone and was happy that it is somehow convenient to scroll down unlike other where I still need to zoom, though do you plan to still make a mobile app for that soon though?
