> 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.

Finally good news

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.

One protest away from being banned from using currency, from purchasing or even getting paid. Why invest in military police when you can just mass ostracise dissenters with one click

Note that from some countries (germany at least) you might need a vpn to access the 18+ parts of DLsite (on that note, both steam and gog have a few porn games delisted if you're in germany, thanks to some "think of the children" people, but JAST sells them anyway if they have it)

yup they did this a LONG time ago with porn sites and DVD sales. I used to work in that industry as a web developer in the early 00s. Third party billers specifically set up for the porn industry thrived because of this. there were many silly rules like you said, no fisting, at most two fingers in the asshole, Incest was "OK" as long as it was "step-" whatever BUT you could get away with it if you laid the ground work initially and say "step-mom" or whatever and then later on just say "mom". Step-Dad was...hit or miss if you could get away with it. Scat was a no go BUT piss was ok IF it was from Europe, sorry US folks, you're not allowed to piss on each other and film it in the good ol United States according to Visa and Mastercard. Finally some stuff like gang bangs or "abuse" porn was fine AS LONG as the girl at the end of the video has a mini interview claiming what a great time she had while covered in jizz. Visa and Mastercard needed to ensure this lady enjoyed herself. fucking really dumb rules and I would have LOVED to be a fly in the room when Visa and Mastercard lawyers came up with these things.

No, they were created to facilitate pyramid schemes and scams.

No, it's similar because it's a business making a value judgement instead of a business judgement. It would be different if your exact argument hadn't been used against those groups in the past. I doubt we'll see eye to eye as well. I'm not okay with discrimination and I don't think the beliefs of corporations matter, even when they're being judgey about sex stuff I don't understand.

God forbid I pin the actual reason for the complaint that is effecting you and explain why.

I didn't come here to have that argument. Things as they are, you can search for lolicon in most corporate owned search engines and be told about scam being illegal. It is what it is and I used that as the basis for my argument not your feelings on...what, thought crime?

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

Cool, I'll keep transacting privately and uncensored with minimal fees, no middle man and predictible inflation with my pyramid scheme and you're free to stick to your surveiled, censored, ever inflating FIAT.

Ok, and you forgot cash. That can be used to process payment too if you think about it. Just not an appropriate solution for this context though, is it?

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

Ohh look i did want to to argue either. I just think it is a bad idea to throw those two together because most people are too ignorant/emotional to make a difference and thats bad. And a thought is not a crime imo so whatever fantasy rocks your boat idc.

Considering your question was about a "payment card acceptance system" "for payment processing in under 30 seconds", no, cash is not an appropriate answer your very specific question.

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

This is gold!! I'd love to read more about it!! It's very fascinating how payment system can control the type of content that is available for consumers

My VPN, VPS, phone bill, bunch of games, steam points, sms verification services all directly for crypto. I also buy gift cards to grocery stores, takeout delivery apps and the local equivalent of Amazon all for crypto and use them to do most of my shopping. Other things I used it for is donating to foss projects I use and some just for fun penny gambling/predictions. Once I even got paid in crypto for some freelance work I did. If you count the gift cards most of my spending is done in crypto, usually monero.

Exactly. That level of control scares me.
