Pornhub to Adopt Cryptocurrency Usage
The largest porn website on the internet, Pornhub, along with their affiliates Brazzers and Nutaku will begin accepting Verge cryptocurrency.
Other porn websites have already been accepting cryptocurrency, but the significance is derived from the fact that Pornhub is the largest porn site and one of the largest sites on the web (ranked 32nd biggest by Alexa site rankings). Pornhub has not been shy to innovation since they recently implemented HTTPS encryption, accessibility for the blind and visually impaired, and snow plow service. Pornhub even made a high quality video detailing how porn has been at the forefront of new technology development – online payments, video streaming, and VR.
Pornhub’s Vice-President, Corey Price, said that Verge is “an anonymous additional form of payment,” and that “Offering privacy-focused payment options is something we have been looking to do for a while.” Verge offers privacy by layering Tor and I2P, which operate differently, but still employs a variation of peer-to-peer routing systems all on top of the Wraith Protocol. The Wraith Protocol allows users to choose private transactions within shielded addresses. However, Matthew Green, a cryptographer at Johns Hopkins University who is affiliated with Zcash, another privacy focused blockchain, said that there is still a degree of trust associated with Verge’s private blockchain and that “you just wouldn’t know until something bad happened.”
