As a user, if this was a wallet type system, where you fund your account with a 3rd party "bank", both safely and securely, and then visit the adult paysites that are signed up with that bank, then this would make sense to me. You can go from adult pay site to adult pay site and make 1 click purchases for 99cents, and buy only the scenes that you want...anonymously. As a user, I'd be safe in the knowledge that I was not going to have my CC banged, it would not show up on my bank statement etc and this would give me confidence as a user to make that purchase. Especially if they process for mainstream sites too. Very easy to hide your dirty little secrets from your wife.

As a site owner, I am pretty sure my sales ratio would significantly increase selling single scenes if only for the fact that there will be minimal declines as these sales wont touch a traditional billing company or V+MC. Sure, there will be CB's but not for $24.95 + $25-$35 CB fee's. I am also sure that users that own these micropayment wallets wont be restricted to 99cent purchases. Meaning, that once they have sampled a few 99Cent scenes, and they see that a monthly membership is worthwhile because of the amount of quality scenes there are, that they would be able to buy a monthly recurring membership too, as long as they had the funds in their account.

What is interesting is that sites would need to show their member areas to the non members for these micropayment users to be able to see "whats on the shelf". I wonder how many sites would be prepared to do that? I have subscribed to so many sites over the years where once in the Member Area, that the promises that were made on the tour were a blatant lie. Yes, they have 100's of full scenes, but the 10 quality ones on the tour that made me sign up, were the ONLY quality videos in the members area.

Yes, I do own some of the busiest .xxx domains in Casting.xxx, Orgasms.xxx and we have just launched mom.xxx and this email is in support of the micropayment system and makes no difference if it was .xxx doing this or Epoch or CCBill, my feelings that it would be a success would be the same, and I have thought this since I launched my first site 15 months ago. Goes without saying, as long as it is regulated properly.
