Maybe...but as it is, bitcoin is too volatile to be accepted..the porn site will be at a huge loss, unless they charge a bit more than they do for USD.

Bit-pay.com permits merchant to accept Bitcoins, and receive the money as USD automatically into their bank account. Thus eliminating all exchange rate risk.

OP-  Great idea to approach them.  However, conducting a poll here is probably not a good market indicator. You should poll a group of people who are already subscribing to Kink and see whether they would prefer to have an anonymous payment method in which personal financial details are not stored on the company's server.

Remember, the advantage of BTC to the consumer is not just the anonymity, but also the fact that his/her credit card details aren't stored somewhere. As it stands now, my credit card info could be hacked from any server where I've purchased stuff (amazon and dozens of others). But with btc, a hacker can't gain anything from my by hacking the company's server.  The corollary to this is that the company doesn't have to invest resources in storing and protecting customer records.

How happy would Sony have been if their recent hacks didn't release 300,000 customer details =)

If you can figure out how to write a website in PHP, you can also figure out how to use the API on your favorite exchange to instantly sell them.  Yes, I know you would need to park a few coins at the exchange, but that would be the limit of your currency risk, which works out to zero per transaction over time.

Personally, I am not interested, but is a user selling reality kings accounts and he has been pretty successful.

I was just wondering: when you promote bitcoins to a website do you mention bit-pay, for example? If not, how do you sell the idea? The market fluctuation is not really attractive for a seller...

There are already some merchant services for that, which basically just convert you to USD as soon as someone sends Bitcoins.

At the same time, given the profit margins on most porn stuff especially online, they could certainly afford to consider speculating. Smiley

Just a thought, but anyone willing to do this because of the anonymity of it might not be too inclined to send you a message about it. Might be better if you just post the details and let the pervs among us figure out how to go about it  Grin
