    > "Gambling/predictions" I bet most of your crypto goes there, eh? No, I'm not rich enough to be wasting money and don't really enjoy feeling like my heart is going to jump out of my chest, gambling with literal pennies once in a blue moon is more of my style. > And no, I'm not clicking a link that says "money america" or "bazaar" No worries, I'll post some screenshots for you. ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/1a398046-a579-4fb9-b4ce-b721fa547c27.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/7d81e736-d17e-46c4-9b3d-da308f440316.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/f5046810-023f-480e-9694-bf85984835f8.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/7560a680-225e-4015-9e40-379134b0054a.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/f9061b53-2cfd-484e-90f2-95c9f0193c96.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/b3c4fd1b-106c-4748-aa7a-b2b2b738443c.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/ddc93c6c-40c3-4200-b7ee-ad18a00ea54e.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/5f431fe6-9c5f-4813-9a5c-a15db7a82639.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/9f0ce58b-c894-4dad-91c0-f39e48978599.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/73d5eb21-7cca-4421-abda-ca57b8cbd5c9.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/496f1c47-6527-4445-9415-00e5fa82e5bb.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/875214c0-affb-463f-9185-06d920a143d8.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/ea7fc44e-a8eb-4a0f-a7a3-7a29ff4e7952.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/70bf93f5-2c6e-4151-96d9-de555d1f0ee5.png) ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/0a493715-1939-415e-a5c5-af638b996e29.png)

      What actual items or services are you buying with crypto? Trading and buying other crypto doesn't count, neither does selling the crypto

      If you haven't bought illicit drugs from a darknet market, you're doing crypto and possibly life wrong

        >Lightning Labs launched the Lightning Network in 2018 with the goal of reducing the cost and time required for cryptocurrency transaction. Specifically, the bitcoin blockchain can only process around 7 transactions per second (compared to Visa Inc., which can process around 24,000 transactions per second). Despite initial enthusiasm for the Lightning Network, reports on social media of failed transactions, security vulnerabilities, and over-complication lead to a decline in interest.

        I'm not really that familiar with LN, to be honest. It looks like there's almost $500 million in the network available for transactions ([source](https://bitcoinvisuals.com/lightning)), and according to [this report](https://river.com/learn/files/river-lightning-report-2023.pdf), there were about 6.6 million transactions in August of 2023. Not MasterCard or Visa levels, for sure, but also not a 10 minute wait for a transaction to complete either.

          Is national payment processing the solution?... International public payment processing?

            Agreed. If it's not illegal then it should be allowed. Not that I approve of this type of content, but corporations should not be selectively enforcing their morals.

            I think platforms should freely moderate and that payment processors shouldn't even know the legality

              While the effect of not having as much random porn on steam is kinda nice, the underlying reasons for this are fucking horrifying because it's further proof that some giant american companies (visa, paypal, mastercard) are the global morality police. And it's just random porn subgenres getting removed anyway so it kinda does nothing about the flood of those anyway.

              It won't be random - MasterVisa attacks the more 'vile' genres first to establish precedent, then they will start to persecute LGBTQ+ sexuality. The endgame is to define your everyday life, including whom you are allowed to love.

                  Hey if you want to goon and not pay might I suggest F95zone a wonderful porn game forum with a very good search system. I think it's the dot to that's the proper site, but it's hard to think right now because everything hurts for no fucking reason.

                    We really also need payment neutrality. I don't like the content that's being removed, but I really don't like that visa gets to decide that websites are allowed to show, sell, and everything else. I don't give half a damn if someone decides to swipe their card at the heroin and machine gun store, visa shouldn't be the one deciding that they can't make that transaction

                    Fully agreed. On the service-provider side, we have 'safe harbor' laws: A site isn't liable for copyrighted user-generated content as long as they have mechanisms to take down items when notified. Liability-wise: The payment processors should have no fucking insight into what is being sold, only that they handle the transactions. Therefore, they should have no liability, similar to "safe harbor". Reputation-wise: I can almost see a history where Visa, for example, used a statement like "we don't handle transactions for X" as a marketing ploy... but that is way past where we are. There's no chance of reputational damage to a payment processor for the items for which they handled a payment. Combined with the above, if I say I'm giving $20 to Tim, you give $20 to Tim and take it from me. Done. Not your problem. As another commenter stated, the payment processor should be a dumb pipe, and anything illegal being sold should be a liability for the seller or buyer. The idea of a moral judgement of the processor is as stupid as a water pipe to your house cutting off the flow if your shower runs too long. The real problem is the politicians, or lobbyists/influencers, who are sending bribes to each other to gain advantage... but visa doesn't have a problem handling a venmo transaction for 'tuition'. Let me buy horny games until after you block world superpower corruption first. But honestly, don't even do that. Just handle moving the money when someone send it. That's your only job.

                      > 16 transactions per second Please, that's *nothing*. In a mass adoption scenario, the whole thing would either crumble or eat a significant portion of the world's electric production. I won't have an argument about the futility of the whole decentralization endeavor and how it fails to meaningfully address any of the very real concerns that central banking has addressed over the centuries. History has already proven all of you fools.

                      It's 16 tps right now because that's the current demand, highest tps recorded was 57, not counting L2s which are doing 200 tps right now ([stats](https://l2beat.com/scaling/activity)) and can handle way more, for example the biggest one called base can handle 1400 tps alone and the next major eth upgrade is targeting 100000 tps capability.

                          Yeah that even applies to some games that aren’t porn games but just feature nudity like the Fear & Hunger series.

They have been for decades. You just aren't going to see news stories anywhere major when what's being banned by the morality police is something like loli or zoo content, but stuff no one wants to publicly defend are targeted first to set precedent to justify anything else they might want to ban later. See the H.L. Mencken quote about defending scoundrels.

                              I was gonna get The Adventures of Kincaid,a furry porn game where you can screw several characters and enemies when you defeat them. The player character is female, and the sex is framed as the character patching up defeated enemies. There is a similar free game called Naughty Rabbit by a Japanese developer called Be Kon Box... but it is kinda rapey until you realize the females can refuse sex if you don't do it right, which makes me wonder if the sexual dynamics of the world involve kicking ass as courtship before screwing. Also he added some dynamics where the female enemies sexually assault the male player character. Its kinda fascinating.

                                  On the one hand, oh noz, the incest games. Who will live without the low effort AI goon crap? On the other hand, why do the payment companies get to dictate what sales are made? It's my fucking money, or my fucking store. It's not the job of the payment processors to determine if I'm buying illegal goods, just that the money goes from me to the store.

                                  I'm in a similar boat. I actively dislike incest/fauxcest porn and porn games. I don't find it "naughty taboo" but gross and often fetishizing straight-up abuse. I'm not sad to see such games and videos, that I can never quite filter out because they are never consistently tagged, go. I am worried that they will try pulling the same shit as Tumblr and OF.

                                    God forbid anything be due to a loss of consumer rights due to deregulation caused by conservatives. No, instead it must be capitalism. Everything bad is capitalism. The reason China is a dictatorship is because Capitalism. Israeli ethnic cleansing as well as the prior milleniums of holy war? Believe it or not, Capitalism.

                                      After looking at the game list, I fully support this and urge anyone who doesn't to look at the banned games.

                                      It doesn't matter what was banned. It could be the most heinous shit imaginable and payment processors dictating what is allowed to exist would still be horrible.

                                        Stop using children as a stand-in for your discomfort. That is so overdone.

                                        I'm sure you have your limit too. Otherwise you're lying to yourself. I think children not getting exposed for cartoon porn is a pretty good stop. Especially when the perpetrators seem to think it's harmless. Stop pretending that furries is about anything other than fantasy of fucking your favorite cartoon please.

                                          Why shouldn't the payment processors get a say in the payments they process? Illegal or not, why should they be forced to process payments that facilitate things against their beliefs? Steam could pursue other payment processing possibilities instead of acquiescing to their demands.

                                          Because they're functionally a utility. If they want to throw their weight around they should be forced to compete with a public option
