Programming in the Adult Entertainment Industry is Broken

I've deleted the post because some of you are [insert expletive]. The client I do work for is not doing anything illegal. There's no money laundering going on. It's a more legit business than some big-chain stores I shop at.

To those of you spreading the "you're admitting to fraud" comments, you're the reason we can't have nice things.

To those of you that supported the article, and were generally appreciative to read this, I want to thank you so much. You gave me a reason to want to continue writing more, but since others can't play nice, I won't be doing any other posts.

Damn it. I spent a while just now looking for this exact post to share with someone, and it's gone! I'm sorry you felt obliged to delete it, I found it really insightful.

I'm sorry about the reception you got and what I assume the article was.
Is there anywhere else I can read it?

I always wondered where do the adult site gets their programmers from !!!

From a technical point of view, they have one of the largest video hosting sites and I saw many times that even youtube copies some of their features...

But I never had a chance to read any of their technical posts...

I really wish to know how the technical side operate.

I kind of want to do a post on the video side of things. Encoding, hosting, streaming, etc... Maybe if I stay super technical, I won't have people all up in arms about stuff.

This is precisely why cryptocurrency was invented.

Once the average joe starts getting abused by banks/payment processors, people will start to realise just how little they own their "money". Hopefully that will help people shift towards it.

Aww man, I would have liked to have read this one.

You gave me a reason to want to continue writing more, but since others can't play nice, I won't be doing any other posts.

You gotta protect yourself, but I wish you would reconsider.

Thank you. I'll probably do more posts, but maybe not around this same topic.

I'm sorry Jeremy. This was a cool post and it seemed like the initial discussion here was quite positive. Things may have turned when it landed on Hacker News, as is often the case. That whole discussion seems to be largely about juvenile accusations, and I'm sorry things leaked here. We'll be moderating.

Thanks for a great post Jeremy. Let us know if there is anything more we can do to help the situation.

^ this just made my day ❤️ I appreciate that. I really wanted to write more on the topic from the dev side of things, but I don't think I can at this point. I'll just keep my posts boring 😅

Reach out to me and the team directly about any issues.

And, while we try to stay on top of these things, jerks filter in. Thanks for understanding.

@Jeremy look into
tmmwiki.com/index.php/NATS4_RSBilling

Should fix a lot of your credit card issues.

Not sure how well it works these days, but used to work great.
