Hi, I got back from my trip today.
Regarding your comment: I contacted QuickBitcoins and apparently not a single visitor coming from cam4btc.com has actually bought Bitcoins there. I really think lack of Bitcoins among the public is something that is slwoing the growth of the site. People don't mind giving a really small amount for the show, they just find it too much hassle to acquire the Bitcoins. I'm up for any suggestions to make the process easier but I think it would be best if I could avoid to sell them myself as that would cause two conflicting concerns to appear on the site.
Well, partly, I think Dino-Rawr's problem was that she did a lot of promotion for her show on non-bitcoin specific channels, like in the generic "Reddit Gone Wild" subreddit. I did not see her ever post on these forums and not at the stripcoin.com site, either. But maybe I missed her announcement there.
Bitinstant has made it more convenient than ever for bitcoin dabblers to acquire coins, but their web page sucks and they don't have any tutorial for how to use their "get bitcoins at Walmart" type services. So I think the uncertainty scares people away. Hell, I am obsessed with Bitcoins and when I went on their site I couldn't figure out exactly how it's supposed to work.
I'm actually planning to do a youtube video series for such people to walk them through the process of buying via Bitinstant.
Another thing that would help would be if some sexy girls did shows, did not get paid after 15 minutes and then logged off leaving a bunch of frustrated, horny guys wishing they had brought some BTC with them. All the shows I have seen so far have 2 or 3 "heroes" throwing money around out of a couple dozen+ viewers. If the "heroes" don't show up and the girls log off, maybe some more people will start taking responsibility for themselves.
Finally, Quickbitcoins is down right now, so I can't check but I think someone mentioned in chat the other night that even Quickbitcoins takes several hours to process the transactions and send coins. Does anyone know if this is true?
In any case, I'm looking forward to the show tonight and hope it's a good night for the performer.
