If crypto was ever going to be useful, this is where it will do it.


Right. So I just looked into it a bit, and the idea has been around. There's (adult content warning...):

- Sexcoin, launched in 2013 [https://sexcoin.info] [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sexcoin/]

- Titcoin, TIT [https://titcoin.github.io] [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/titcoin/]

- Tittiecoin, launched in 2014: "TittieCoin Accelerates Your Digital Transformation", now Limitless VIP? [https://tittiecoin.com] [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/limitless-vip/]

- Spankchain, by Spanktoshi Nakabooty [https://spankchain.com/]

- Fapcoin [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/fapcoin/] defunct

- Pornrocket [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pornrocket/]

- PornStar [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pornstar/]

- Intimate [https://intimate.io/]

- Okoin [https://okoin.io/] defunct?

- Analcoin [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/analcoin/]

- VGINA [https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/vgina/]

Has it been useful? I doubt it.


There is zero reason to come up with an alt/shit coin for this. Accept payments using a popular crypto-currency and link your customers to reputable exchanges they can purchase the currency at.


FWIW, most of these were low-effort projects with silly names which were either jokes or pump-and-dump schemes. As far as I'm aware, none of them have made any meaningful inroads into the adult content industry.

I hope that was a legal name change.


Wow, this is really bad for crypto. Even though they can circumvent VISA technically with coins, OnlyFans doesn't want to go down that path. Probably because it immediately becomes partially funded by money laundering or sex trafficking, and they get shutdown eventually

They could try to block that (they probably need to already), especially as the alternative seems to be to shut down now.


Why are you even looking at altcoins for this?


adult industry once again on the cutting edge of tech


I know of people building OF in crypto, I’m sure they’re happy right now.
