Many can refer to the success of their careers to the illuminated screen and keyboard; and just as kinks evolve, so does technology. This makes PumaPay and porn a match made in cryptocurrency heaven. On Aug. 23, the online adult entertainment giant Pornhub announced it will now utilize blockchain-based payment facilitated by <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/pumapay\/\">PumaPay tokens (PMA)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pornhub hosts more than 90 million visitors daily, making it one of the most-viewed websites in the world. So those technological advancements mentioned earlier suddenly make sense: high-definition, on-demand streaming; real-time, point-of-view experiences; and interactive advertisements. Why stop there?<\/p>\n<p>Logically, a new form of payment that increases security, flexibility and anonymity would be the next step from a successful business standpoint. For subscribers, that can also mean no more embarrassing phone calls to cancel those recurring bills for intimate pastimes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63885\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63885\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-63885\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tron-pornhub-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"TRON and ZenCash Added As Payment Methods for Pornhub\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tron-pornhub-social-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tron-pornhub-social-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tron-pornhub-social-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tron-pornhub-social.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63885\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/tron-and-zencash-added-to-pornhub-payment-methods\/\">Tron, ZenCash Added as Payment Methods for Pornhub<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Corey Price, VP of Pornhub, stresses the importance of anonymity in his field of work, which is why PMA is a preferable addition to the site\u2019s other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>The payment protocol was developed by Cyprus-based blockchain company Decentralized Vision for the purpose of filling a gap between billing needs and current existing solutions, i.e. credit cards.<\/p>\n<p>PumaPay CEO Yoav Dror says the solution is PullPayment protocol, a method that reverses the mechanics of a transaction and enables merchants to \u201cpull\u201d crypto funds from a client\u2019s account. Using this method bypasses issues that would be impossible to avoid without blockchain, such as high transaction costs, insecurity chargebacks and concurrent fines.<\/p>\n<p>Decentralization is key. Operations control within companies is a cumbersome task and is a step that can be bypassed by blockchain. For example, centralized processing involves tracking all invoices for every location of a company by either one team or person, typically at headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>For a company like Pornhub, which operates globally, inconsistencies in tracking these invoices become\u00a0a likely challenge. Decentralization, therefore, offers an opportunity for individual departments to work independently, resulting in the ever-elusive anonymity secure transactions.<\/p>\n<p>According to Price:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAs decentralized payment systems continue to grow in popularity, cryptocurrencies are especially viable in the adult entertainment industry because they incorporate more anonymity tools than traditional tender. PMA is a solid addition to our growing arsenal of cryptocurrencies, and we\u2019re excited for our fans to use them to purchase a myriad of things on our platform.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For Pornhub\u2019s 10 million consistent members, cryptocurrency may prove just as popular as the 5 million videos available on the site, and PumaPay is on track to make free site\u2019s sophisticated social experience easier than before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early &#8217;90s, an intangible place called the internet offered a host of entertainment opportunities for then-unidentified segmented audiences.
