Porn Production Company Brazzers Likely Poised to Accept Bitcoin
Porn makes up a huge part of the internet, like it or not (and let's be honest here, you probably like it). And believe it or not, the pornography industry has been at the forefront of developing convenient ways to pay for adult entertainment on the web. The latest of which may be bitcoin. Already, a major porn outfit aptly named Porn.com accepts bitcoin, and reports suggest a quarter of its subscribers pay using the digital currency. Now, it would appear as if another player in the industry is poised to accept bitcoin: Brazzers. Established in 2005, this Montreal-based production....

Pornography is big business. So when Porn.com - one of the world's largest pornography outfits - announced they would be accepting bitcoin in December of 2013, there was immense interest. Very quickly, 10 percent of the website's sales came from bitcoin purchases - going so far as 50 percent in early January, following a post on social sharing website Reddit. But for now, Porn.com's bitcoin sales are at 25 percent - or a quarter of all purchases made. When you think about it, that's pretty incredible. This raises the question: is the porn industry and bitcoin a match made in heaven? "I....
The Mofos.com adult website network is reportedly piloting bitcoin payments across their network of 13 websites. The roll-out starts with their IKnowThatGirl.com property - and joining the website allows access to all other sites on the Mofos.com network. The news comes a little under a month following a newsBTC report that sister network Brazzers is likely poised to accept bitcoin in the near future. The Mofos.com network is owned by MindGeek, the largest operator of online porn-related content in the world. Based in Luxembourg, the company runs adult sites like PornHub.com, YouPorn.com,....
Bitcoins might seem new to much of the "mainstream" economy, but some businesses outside that realm have already found good reasons to try out the digital currency. In particular, the perception of greater privacy in bitcoin transactions is appealing to online businesses that deal in erotica, porn and other "adult" forms of paid entertainment. For example, Blue Blood, which runs a network of counterculture erotica sites, has begun accepting the currency. One half of a bitcoin buys a full year's mega-pass membership to Blueblood.com and its associated sites, which claim to celebrate "the....
When Porn.com began accepting bitcoin for payments on 3rd January, it set off a wave of speculation that adult content would prove to be the 'killer app' that propelled mainstream adoption of the still nascent technology. Driving this conversation were the impressive sales figures the site released in the aftermath of the announcement. Porn.com suggested that purchases had increased by 50% in the initial hours, before settling at 25% in the days that followed. Despite the spike in business Porn.com received, though, sceptics have argued that accepting bitcoin has become nothing more than a....
For some individuals, purchasing porn is just out of the question. Why pay for it when you can watch it in 240p resolution at YouTube-porn-clone? Even if you are willing to pay, who's going to take the chance of having a strange charge pointed out by their spouse on their next credit card statement? Awkward. Here's where bitcoin comes in. Porn.com - very aptly named, we must say - says they're now accepting bitcoin for their properties, which we will refrain from naming in order to keep a level of decency. The site is partnering up with BitPay to make it all come together, which leads us....
