Adult entertainment website Pornhub has announced that it will begin accepting the cryptocurrency verge as payment.

The company detailed its move in a blog post and accompanying video, saying that it will take the token for its premium services as well as other available purchases. According to Pornhub, the kick-off will be marked by events in New York City and Silicon Valley.

 

"Verge". Such a strange name, yet a weird similarity with some spanish/french synonims for dick... ok then.

"We're extremely excited to offer our fans the ability to use crypto and think Verge, with its focus on anonymity, is the best option - whether for privacy, convenience or both," Price said.

 

Well... sure, cryptos are rather convenient when it comes down to privacy, right? So it's actually quite interesting to use one of them to pay for your subscription, insteado of having on your credit card, every month, a line that may tell others what it is

Here's the details of this cryptocurrency and Pornhub mashup. It's really simple and frankly, about as inevitable as the time Pornhub started a snow plow business — it just makes sense. Beginning today, Pornhub will accept Verge as a payment option for all Pornhub purchases such as Pornhub premium, HD and on-demand services and merchandising, but not recurring subscriptions. The reason for that should be obvious but I'll state it anyway — because of the inherent risk of the volatility of the price of cryptocurrencies.

[....] This mystery partnership caused the price of Verge to skyrocket this week, and it will surely go up as this news breaks around the internet. You see, if you haven't noticed by now — once the porn industry embraces a technology, that technology tends to begin to thrive. It's too early to tell if this will set Verge up for success previously experienced by Bitcoin and Ethereum, but it will certainly shake up the cryptocurrency world as investors see Verge succeed as the chosen payment option of an industry that tends to set the curve.

noooooo I prefer stable gpu prices to anonymous p0rn subscriptionssssss. Damned. 

 

So.. anybody's gonna sign up?

The site now accepts Verge cryptocurrency (no relation to The Verge), a rebranded version of Dogecoindark, which split off from the original meme coin, Dogecoin, in 2014.

oh god....

 

verge coins are basically dogecoins... what can possibly go wrong.

big stretch on that. REALLY big.

[dizmo]

Makes sense. Might as well take every kind of payment you can, considering most of what you find there you can find on other sites for free.

Porn is porn.

I don't know why anyone would even have a membership to something like that.

erm...

 

well. No ads (adblock though...) but you get access to premium channels and premium content which is superior content to.... well do your business... I guess. Oh and 1080p. Yes, you have to pay for 1080p. 

 

but man, 10 bucks a month? no thanks, i would rather spend that money on something else. Like games I guess.

[RadiatingLight]

Holy shit, Verge is a scam, and I can't imagine why anyone would invest in it.

the idea of using cryptocurrency to pay for a PH Premium subscription is fine, but Verge is the worst of the cryptos

the developer crowdsourced money to pay for his taxes, accidentally hard forked his own coin a few weeks ago, and generally doesn't know which side is up.

Terrible coin, IMO the next bitconnect.

well then, the people using Verge will then be... screwed. AH.

More like pornhub was given millions of dollars worth of XVG by the dev to accept XVG.

 

Basically nothing short of market manipulation. Not to mention XVG isn't even a privacy coin and can be tracked. The devs are blatantly incompetent.

where did you hear that, pretell?

[captain_to_fire]

How about CornHub?

[Max_Settings]

That moment when you own a ton of Verge.....

[Bcat00]

I simply can't stop laughing at this. Talk about the perfect way to hide your porn subscription.

Oddly enough, Verge was hit with a pretty large pump and dump at the same time this was announced.

I know...I thought it would blow up. Maybe being associated with a porn site isn’t good for business.

[Doobeedoo]

I can already see the future. VR porn and crypto, using also their users for content and giving them XXXcoins in return for their services.

[Froody129]

I opened this thing expecting BunnyToken. God how I hate BunnyToken

The dev literally asked to community to donate so that he could pay for a huge sponsorship. This is it.
