Topic: Bitcams - page 4. (Read 37489 times)

Thank you for your post.

EDIT:Not saying we were doing any of the stuff she was talking about  anyways. I was just in awe at the amount of people that were justifying her insane commentary. Thank you for a reasonable response.

I thought the design was quite good myself. Not too over the top, but still appealing. It does need a bit of touching up and refinement though. The content on the other hand is my major problem. I don't have the money to hire girls to produce original videos, that is beyond me. I might be able to pay for original amateur videos. I'll wait till I have a bit more a Bitcoin pile built up first.  

@ the OP. Let me clear some things up for you. It would be quite simple for a programmer to create a porn website that integrates with Bitcoin. The MyBitcoin SCI is actually fairly easy to implement, and it allows for transactions quite similar to PayPal. This talk of thousands and thousands of dollars is completely ridiculous and is engineered to deter you from progress imo. I reckon I could create a decent Bitcoin cam website for around 1K USD (with help obviously).

An adult webcam site could be extremely profitable and popular, because customers would have anonymity. Stick with it. And also, do not buy one of those ridiculous expensive "adult CMS" platforms. That is completely retarded. Anyone who knows what they are doing can easily program an adult website from scratch, this isn't rocket science. A webcam site will be slightly more complicated, but still try to avoid commercial CMS platforms.

LOL tricky - when 2 people dicuss how to do it, you just did it ;-)

great start, but offcourse 2 things must be better : Design and unique content (maybe a theme)

greets

Sounds good, messaging you.

I am serious about a full site editor. We want our content to be quality. I am no pro at the English language, yet I try to get better at it every day. Half the time when I misspell or make obvious mistakes, it's cause I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep total. I work very, very hard and half the time I can't even review my own posts. This forum in itself is so time consuming, and I am hoping to get this project under way by Monday or Tuesday so I can spend alot less time on here wasting time...  Once the site is done, I think we will be hiring an editor to go in and improve our content. Your on my list. (And yes I will pay you or anyone I choose to do this editing task. )

Aw man, see what I'm talking about? This post got way too long.

Point granted, I am regularly amused by your quality posts by the way. I was just put off by his own slightly trollish behavior.

Given that the thread is so long I skimmed a lot of it, if I had noticed her misspelling I no doubt would have pointed it out as well. Not that this is a decent behavior that adds to the community, I'm just saying, equal treatment and all.

There is no way to prove otherwise, so all I can really do here is say that that honestly had absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm just a fellow long-winded talker who often corrects things that I feel need to be corrected because of simple compulsion, and understood why she was doing what she was doing. You have no reason to believe this, but it doesn't really matter anyway.

Edit: On the subject of her supposed attractiveness, that avatar looks like an advertising image or some licensed image, not an actual picture of her. That's the vibe I got from the instant I looked at the avatar, so I know there was no subconscious bias. (Again, not that you have any reason to believe me, just thought I'd point it out.)

Well, I'm definitely not here to troll and it would be appreciated if you would stop calling everyone who disagrees with you a troll. Yes, I was being mocking, and that was unnecessary, but hey, I'm a human.

However, I do have very good grammar and general handle on the English language and assuming you're willing to put aside the brief personal differences and are actually serious about this, I'd be interested in filling the position. I'm obviously pedantic to a degree and have noticed typos in all sorts of websites that should know better. (I don't think perfect spelling is intrinsic in any way, I'm not stupid, but it's an arbitrary standard that when not followed implies an unprofessional business.)

Thanks for all the great spelling observations sir. You are exactly what we need on the team, an editor! Are you here to fill out for the position, or just here to simply troll sir?  

C'mon now, let's keep things to the topic and not be stupid about accidentally spelling errors on forums.  We are all human, the fact that you bring this up at all makes one question your motives in this thread now too.  Either way, again, errors happen all over for everyone.


Obviously amusing as hell, I know I was laughing 'it' her.  It's like when someone online points out another person is a 'moran'.... but it is stupid, who cares, accident, if you got the point, that is what matters.

Jessy at this point definitely seems as though is just trying to be harmful PR-wise to anyone not wanting to establish a successful site using her methods.  She can't accept that it is possible otherwise, that is fine.

Some people just naturally write long posts like that. I've tried to keep my posts somewhat shorter on here but if you checked my post history you'd see a couple posts that go on longer than the typical post.

It usually goes like "Oh, hey, someone's misguided on the internet, I'll write a short but detailed post to helpfully show something", and then as you write it, you realize there's so much detail that you don't want to leave out, and about 30 minutes later you've got a nice long post on your hands detailing much more than you intended.

Does she need a motive? She's human, is she not? Just a bit more literate and completion-oriented than you, it seems. Hell, even this relatively short post is going on much longer than I thought it would.

She gave you good advice. You ignored it, questioned her motives, and went on with this silliness.

So basically, you are too amateur to properly run this. I also like how you spelled "grammar" "grammer" in the original post. Nice.

Edit: And "excepting" instead of "accepting". Apparently you will accept shares from anyone, aside from shares from investors, which you are excepting.

I am not going to lie to you guys, someone like her would be an extremely valuable asset to the team. I am just trying to figure out what she's after lol. Thats all..

I've read the entire thread... it seems to me she wasn't after anything... just offering (good) free advice that fell on deaf ears.

Ever thought of us just simply self hosting it? I def have the connection, and the power to host it myself if it comes down to it..

EDIT:Like I said this is of minimal concern right now. Right now we need 1 graphics designer, and a few more investors, and we will have a serious group of people ready to make bitcams.com theirs.

Who hosts VOD services without bandwith limitations? (serious question! i really would like to know and ask for their conditions)

With SWF you can reduce the traffic on classic video download sites, because the user can play the videos online and skip to the part where he wants to fap to and doesn't need to download gigabytes. Bandwith prices were also the reason why Brazzers for example had there HD videos limited in the beginning, users had to pay extra $$$ if they wanted HD. Then they implemented HD streaming and everyone can now download HD without extra payment. They didn't do this just for the user, they did it because it reduced the bandwith usage. But this scenario doesn't apply to a cam site, you can't skip a minute forward there. In the beginning it sure won't be a problem on a cam site but if the sites lifts up...any Hoster will contact you sooner or later if you hit their bandwith limit....they will "kindly ask" to discuss new contract conditions ...that's at least my experience ^^,

Vegetta do you self a favour and read every word she's written until you DO understand.  Read it a thousand times if necessary, it's some of the best advice you're ever gonna get and she's giving it you free despite the torrent of abuse you're throwing at her... Maybe she likes it, who knows.

I'm a professional web dev and I've lost count of the number of times I've been approached by someone with a great idea that's going to be the next facebook and as long I can work for free I can have a little cut.  I would do it if she asked me, I don't give my respect to whores easily but she earned it in one post and built on it in every one that followed.  You on the other hand have shown yourself to be petulant with an out of control ego.  If you want to succeed don't take all advice as criticism and when it is criticism listen to it instead of getting defensive.  There's something to be learned even from the most unjustified of criticism.

Not necc. it depends who your hosting with. But if you use a .SWF based system the bandwidth use will be minimal. Bandwidth is seriously the last thing we're worried about here.

You judge this by your home dsl flatrate? for servers you (sadly) have to pay for their bandwith

Oh wow did you just get tired of doing naughty things for free and did a google search for starting your own porn site?
Seriously, a monthly license for $150? a lifetime license for $4000!
Bandwidth bills!? Look at your computer clock just to make sure its not set to 1995
I havent heard of a bandwidth bill since I was 15 years old....

UPDATE: those types of software packages are for those that don't want to risk hiring a people and not deliever with their advertised skills
with those types of applications your personally guaranteed what your getting since its right in front of you the features list and all.

Sorry blond-e but your assuming that you know everything about the porn industry because you probably run a successful porn site suitable for "YOU". Your brain can't processes anything out of your own experience. This project isn't for one women that can just be ran by her lil'ol self.

Thank you.

Who's asking, LeFBI?   It's just a website where you can download porn. It's no more "legit" than a gambling website.

I thought about it and I might do it at a later stage, when I have more content and more traffic.

That's a good idea too, and I probably will create something like that soon. But a problem is having explicit stuff on the home page. I like having the warning text on the landing, that way they know what they're heading into.

Those little preview pics are all there are, I'm afraid. It already takes too long to watermark and upload videos as it is. If they want more, they know how to get it.  

Mmmm, I think it's ok how it is. Can't be bothered changing it now. I want to work on the code as much as possible, graphics design isn't really my strong point. I just sort of use simple but effective techniques. edit: oh, you mean in the actual videos. It is a bit big, and I might re-encode them as you said, with just the website address in the corner.

Nah, wetcoin is just a random conglomerate of porn videos. It's unlikely we'd ever get more than 3 videos off the same girl.

No, I paid a reasonable sum of money for the videos I have on there. I bought them on a freelancer website under the specific conditions I would be able to sell them and that they had to be unmarked so I could apply my own watermarks to them. So I've done all I can, I have provided clear ways for webmasters to contact me if they think I've uploaded copyrighted material.

Nice site

May i ask for the source of your videos and if your business is officially legal?

suggestions:
- offer monthly access instead of pay per view only. In my experience monthly access pays better than ppv when it comes to pure video sites (not talking about live shows).
- a "recent updates" page as landing page. Users are lazy, categories are nice but just showing the list videos in order how they were added to the page will get you more clicks
- previews! short free video previews, a view high res preview pictures
- smaller logo. the logo of your site inside the videos is imho too big. i would only put the address of your site in the videos
- who's in the video? porn starlet catalog

I really hope you didn't just download those videos anywhere and are now trying to sell them. If i find any of our videos there, i will hunt you down , haha
I'm thinking about offering bitcoin payment on a view sites too, but before i do that i need some legal questions answered from the official side/finance authority (how to tax it and such...)

Hardened members script. Or have fun paying your bandwidth bill the first time your ditsy htpassword file gets hacked. Good server admins can probably do this themselves. Popular porn sites come under near constant attack- good server admins can make excellent money doing pen-testing and hardening.

Some Adult sites- say an Amateur site, can be competitive with far less expensive design and code- because you can swap out tour images and text pitches to refine it. You already have a certain USP in having an exclusive model so don't need to rely on so heavily on design to differentiate your product.

If you plan to be competitive in a very crowded niche, with many similar looking services, you will need a high-end designer and CMS. Hiring this designer will be something you advertise that will cause affiliates to join your program. They may not know you, but they have promoted other sites by this designer so know how it will convert. So aside from the hard numbers, it is a marketing tool to attract affiliates.

He charges in the 5k+ range I was discussing and has a very long waiting list.

So either all the top players in a multi-billion dollar industry are dumber than you, or perhaps you are making assumptions in an industry you have never successfully worked in. In much the same way that people make assumptions about Bitcoin without fully researching it. Opening a penny-ante hobby site, is different from earning a living off of it- or running a corporation behind it.

As you can see, there is good money to be made in adult coding- which is why I advised a code based project, over a much more competitive design and marketing based one. But you gentleman have it all figured out so can come up with something far better.


18 U.S.C. 2257, 28 CFR § 75.6 (a)
Bitcoin and 2257 violations are not a good combo. Even if you only have eight videos it's not a formality- they enforce. People who play it fast and loose with documentation, or use content of unknown origin tend to be quickly blacklisted by the industry. No one wants to to down with your ship.

Whether or not I am completely ignorant about Adult sites, and starting a successful, competitive one is as easy as some claim is an easy thing to verify. Give it a shot. Get back to us with your results.
