Looks like the adult industry is now accepting cryptocurrency, never thought that they already accepting a variety of cryptocurrency not just Monero and Bitcoins the cryptocurrency is really spreading now that's really nice.
But anything related to porn is still prohibited in many countries, including my country, Indonesia. The government continues to block pornographic sites, including PornHub. Yes, I see there are some adult projects accept Cryptocurrency, there are even bounty projects are porn / adult based.

Monero can be tracked, at least Verge was private and fairly mineable.

i forgot if verge created first before tron but tron is more popular than verge but still they added verge first in thier platform ? ah whatever .  trx is still added now anyway but why would a big company such as visa will end thier relationship to such a big porn player in the iundustry thesedays such as pornhub .

oh well , there must be a solid reason for that but why would pornhub adds crypto instead of finding a simillar alternative to visa ( non crypto ) because not all users till this date knows anything about crypto and theres a good number of cryptos already supported by them .

Why limit your post title to only mentioning Monero?

I mean I'm happy for Monero because this means they have a use case outside of darkmarkets  Cheesy but they've clearly added a lot more; lets list them:

BCH
DASH
ETH
ETC
LTC
XMR
XEM
USDT
TRX
XVG
WAVES
ZEC

Bottom line: don't give a shit because I'm not paying for porn, but ultimately any time of potential adoption is good, so all the more power to those who do...

That is absolutely because of the ban of payments to their website by mastercard, visa card and discover as a result of allegations of child abuse levelled against them. I just don't understand why any porn site will be featuring and sexualizing underage girls like they do.

Awesome, for popular porn sites like pornhub to adopt the usefulness of blockchain shows cryptocurrency is now hugely accepted worldwide, I guess pornhub chooses Monero because of low transaction fee.

A year and a bit after Verge bought its way onto Pornhub and not sure how many months after Tron bought its way onto Pornhub it finally happened. Visa stopped offering its services to Pornhub, so they were forced to seriously looking into cryptocurrencies and finally add Monero as a payment option.  I will not be surprised if after a year Monero become most used payment option on Pornhub. Why would people want their neighbours know they use Pornhub?


Who cares? They already accept many coins so it is not surprising to add more coins.
It is better for cryptocurrencies to move forward if giant real world daily use companies start accepting crypto like amazon and other physical grocery and retail stores so i think big names should try to incorporate cryptocurrencies in real world economy to really make it mainstream.

of course Monero is the choice of pornhub, because Monero is one of the best anonymous coins,
everyone uses Monero a lot, it seems that Monero has been in the crypto currency world for a very long time, a
nd still remains in the top 100 coinmarketcap.

I really thought they were just accepting 3 cryptocurrency but based on the image that you provided they have a lot of varieties of cryptocurrency to choose from. Looks like that they are expending their mode of payment.

Same. I did not know that they accept Waves and others. At least the particular projects didn't promote it. I don't know if you didn't know it or if you are "embarrassed" Cheesy Visa and Mastercard have terminated their collaboration with Pornhub. So it's no big surprise that Pornhub is now looking to provide for alternative payment options.

Yesterday I only heard that bitcoin was accepted as a means of payment on pornhub, but after reading this thread I became more aware that there are many altcoins that have been registered as other means of payment, because I rarely visit adult sites. Maybe after this there will be the addition of other alts such as XRP or DOGE.

Sex is selling mehn Grin Grin and viewers will do anything to see premium videos, there are handles that doesn't allow guest to view all videos hence making them private, this is why these services has increased the used of cryptocurrency in general since PayPal aren't accepted in every country.
On a second thoughts, why did they integrate monero as part of their payment system. I believe they are well informed and aware that regulation bodies don't like monero, I hope this wouldn't bring problems in the future. It will be hell globally if they crack down por*hub.  Grin Grin

An interesting fact - pornography and any sources of its distribution, except for the porno hub, are prohibited in Russia.
The age of the participants is checked through the social network
https://vk.com/
The social network vk.com trusts its users and does not verify the data.
This is how pornography is legally distributed in Russia, and the state does not allow other services to work. For such a violation, the organizers are imprisoned.

I remember how drug ads were found on YouTube and many companies left, but the visa did not respond. And here, at first glance, one does not understand that the girl was 14 years old, but it was a mistake, but not so much as to completely break the relationship.

It's not a surprise seeing Monero as a new addition to payment options on Pornhub since the likes of VERGE, DASH have been added already. Monero remains my most favorite privacy coin, and this is good news for it since it's all about adoption. Many people care about privacy when dealing with adult industry hence in the long run I also support OP's opinion, Monero will be a good preference for payment on Pornhub everything being equal.

Finally i have a real use case for my monero  Grin. Accepting monero seems like a direct middle finger pointed to visa and i kinda like their attitude. And this fits Monero's imago perfectly and it's the only crypto that makes sense on this site.

Stable coins are the most recommended for service payments.
I understand your sentiments, and you also have a point, Stable coins like USDT for example will prolly be better if the corporation is looking for stability to an extent, but in this case with Pornhub, I think privacy is their concern atm and not a coin with a stable network, and it's not so difficult to understand why they want to offer their customers some privacy looking at the service they offer, not a bad one, but not generally accepted by many; so I'm sure that's the reason Monero is being adopted by Pornhub.
There will be a massive acceptance for crypto in no time, bitcoin, monero, other altcoins. As in almost every possible accepted crypto. A huge volume would come in and demand for it.
We're already in a situation such as this, Bitcoin is now being adopted amongst traditional institutions that people thought wouldn't consider investing in a cryptocurrecy, not to talk of incorporating it as their reserve asset; as many altcoins that continue to work and develop their network, they are going to move high as well with Btc, since they all serve different purposes, some stable coins, others privacy coins, some used for low fees, etc, people can accept and use them all, as long as they don't turn into shady networks.

It is not a good idea to receive payments from a highly volatile cryptocurrency.
Until now companies like PORNHUB have confidence in cryptocurrencies. But what if tomorrow all your cryptocurrencies have the value of $ 0? As an example
Stable coins are the most recommended for service payments.
I think they would have anticipated all the possibilty at that price volatile.
They really understand that adding monero which is a privacy coin and other cryptocurrency will be more beneficial for users because users feel safer that's transactions are not known by others.
Correct.
I am sure they went deep in research before adding this option.
Bitcoin is volatile and altcoins are affected somehow.
Maybe they tried to look at what coin has more stability even with the high fluctuation that's happening for the last couple of months.
Looking at graphs XMR moves 10-30 USD for the past 3 months.
It's not a bad choice.
I am thinking they might have other reasons for it. Just shy to find it out since Google'ing the company name may recommend nudity or worse.  Cheesy
Might try incognito while digging.
