Less than 1 percent of pornhub payments are in cryptocurrency

Pornhub has given a somewhat disappointing figure for the number of users using their newly launched crypto payments.

According to a report from The Next Web Friday, the online porn provider said via an email that less than 1 percent of purchases on the platform are performed with cryptocurrency. Pornhub had an average of 81 million. Visitors a day last year, according to their own figures, which amount to about 28,5 billion.

Therefore, less than 1 percentages can still be a not so small number. However, the company does not know how many visitors actually pay for the paid premium, as TNW points out. Despite the low record, the company is in favor of technology's potential and tells the news source:

Having said that, we expect to see widespread adoption of crypto and blockchain on our website in the near future. "

As reported, Pornhub first announced that it would accept cryptocurrency payments back in April when it reached a deal with the edge to use its token.

At that time, the company's edge was the choice due to the cryptocurrencies large user base and an online campaign in its forums to accept the token. Appealing to users about privacy, Pornhub then moved to accept two cryptocurrencies, throne and zencash (now called Horizen) as payment.

"Here at Pornhub, it is important that we meet our users' changing payment preferences and this means accepting cryptocurrency as payment method that gives users anonymity and security, "Corey Price, Vice President of Pornhub, said at that time.
