We've been accepting them for 8 months, and with the data we have from that time, I see zero future for Bitcoin and the porn industry.

There has been zero growth for us at all while accepting Bitcoin as a payment option. Sales trickle in, but everything has already been stated above. Bitcoin and porn are not a good match, and no matter how much Bitcoin supporters want to believe things are going to get better, the truth of the matter is, it isn't. We will still accept them, as it all adds up at the end of the month, but the writing is on the wall.

In theory, it's a fantastic idea. However, in reality, it just doesn't work. If you're smart enough to know about Bitcoins, you're smart enough to not have to pay for porn, ever. Many guys joined our sites and sent us emails saying they do not want the membership but just wanted to support businesses that supported Bitcoin.

Furthermore, the biggest affiliates these days for porn paysites are the big tubes. They don't want to get paid in Bitcoins. So smaller affiliates really don't have much leverage to push programs to pay via Bitcoin.
