The Vice Industry Token (VIT) Network will include twenty adult sites as part of a partnership with Darkreach Communications, including one that features the work of alleged Trump mistress Stormy Daniels.
Vice Token CEO Stewart Duncan said:
“Stormy Daniels understands the value of cryptocurrency. We are thrilled that she chose our blockchain technology to implement on her site.”
The Vice Industry Token is a decentralized cryptographic token that will be used as an incentive to encourage media engagement within the adult media community. For example, visitors to StormyDaniels.com will be rewarded with VIT for watching content or interacting with it by liking or commenting, and the VIT can then be spent on subscriptions or premium content on Ms. Daniels’ site or other partnered adult sites. The token can also be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies and spent or converted into fiat currency, supposedly allowing users to earn money simply for consuming adult media on any of the partnered sites.
Based in Ottowa, Canada, Darkreach Communications manages over 20 adult websites for porn studios and individual stars like Stormy Daniels and Jayden James, and VIT will be introduced to all of them. Darkreach President Rob Murray said the decision to incorporate cryptocurrency into his client’s websites was a “no-brainer”:
“With VIT, everyone is going to make money – from the users on my sites, to myself and the performers. The way the VIT blockchain works, we all get a piece of the token, and the guaranteed genuine data is the icing in the cake.”
VIT CEO Duncan said that this was simply the first of many upcoming partnerships in the pipeline for Vice Industry Token, and that the team were working on more.
“We have been working extremely hard to ensure that when our platform launches we will have a large network of sites that accept our token to monetize users just for interacting with content. This is just the first set of partners. We are talking to new companies every day. It’s an easy sell because with our model everyone wins.”
This is the latest instance of cryptocurrency adoption within the adult industry, with Pornhub recently introducing Verge currency as a payment option for private subscriptions and allowing for one-time payments for content using Verge after their partnership with MindGeek. Pornhub even allowed Verge to be used as a reward incentive much like VIT with Darkreach sites, potentially spelling big things for the cryptocurrency.
However, the world’s biggest porn site may be reconsidering, with a recent Pornhub competition offering prizes worth tens of thousands of dollars paid in cryptocurrency – and the cryptocurrency is Vice Token.
Pornhub may be flirting with Vice after the recent 51% attack on Verge which significantly impacted public perception of the reliability of the crypto token.
