Guest Mistress Kang Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 The Fortress now accepts Bitcoins for sessions, to my knowledge it is first brick and mortar adult business to do so. To find out about Bitcoins: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/43085435 http://launch.is/blog/l019-bitcoin-p2p-currency-the-most-dangerous-project-weve-ev.html http://www.betabeat.com/2011/05/18/will-work-for-bitcoin-coder-says-most-people-just-using-it-as-an-investment-vehicle/ http://www.bitcoin.org At the moment it is not so much about income, as it is about supporting the idea. No, we are not putting our life savings into this- just accepting enough that we can turn around into Amazon giftcards etc. Please, this is not a thread on the merits or failings of virtual currency- this is a Fetish forum. Paternalistic warnings, reservations, comments should be posted in the appropriate Bitcoin forums: http://forum.bitcoin.org/ If you would like to pay for your session with Bitcoins we offer a 10% discount off cash rates, so long as you pay a week in advance. If you are computer savvy, and want to try you can buy them here. The currency is becoming more user friendly so eventually all of you can effectively pay for sessions with a credit card, and at a discount.

nyisles Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I feel old now, usuaully im on the top of technologies and things like this. Since Ive been using computers from when I was 10 yrs old. I was a phreaker, a hacker, a pirate, and all that jazz. When something new comes out and it totally catches you off guard it's like your no longer part of the loop. Feeling a little depressed. I always said once technology passes people by they should need to take a test before being allowed to buy something electronic. Now im destined to become my uncle and his "how do I stop the VCR from blinking 12:00". Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeech2 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Mistress Kang, The pace You keep with technology very much reminds me of how You are in session. Moving fast and ahead of the game. Thanks for letting me tag along. SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgarAH Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I think I'm going to give it a shot next time I have a week in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mistress Kang Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Well, much of the reason behind this is that Bitcoin is ideally suited to our BDSM lifestyle. No one *prefers* to fork over a wad of $20s to their Domme after a session, but the immediate accessibility of credit cards lead to abusive business practices and excessive spending, gifts lack the liquidity a Domme needs. Bitcoin on the other hand, puts a few steps between the Domination, and the dirty business of commerce. Yes, you can just buy Bitcoin with a card or bank transfer, but what I like is nearly anyone, of any profession can simply earn it in a few hours online: http://forbitcoin.com http://bitcoinclassifieds.net So even if I can't use your professional expertise, or don't need goods you sell, you can still offer your Mistress tribute with either using just an email of a short code, rather than the physical cash it would otherwise make you. For our part we can use Bitcoin to purchase Amazon and Visa gift cards, hire designers and web hosting, or even just exchange it and have cash wired into our bank accounts to pay the rent and taxes. I really feel that Bitcoins will make the BDSM lifestyle more accessible, more affordable, and more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must tell you, I really respect your vision as a businesswoman. I will read up on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mistress Kang Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 The New York Observer gave us a modest plug: http://www.observer.com/2011/06/bit-omoney-whos-behind-the-bitcoin-bubble/ There are websites that allow you to purchase ground coffee or alpaca socks with Bitcoin. Meze Grill on 55th Street and Eighth Avenue, “where authentic Mediterranean food meets modern flavor,” accepts Bitcoin, as does the Fetish Fortress, a bondage dungeon in Chinatown.

robbie Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hi Mrs Kang, a very good initiative. As a visitor of the US I use the ATMs for obtaining US money. But I have experienced that ATMs in NYC only spit out US$ 20 bank notes. I always go to the bank counter with the request to exchange these US$ 20 notes in larger ones as I feel embarrassed in handing over one inch of small bank notes to the mistress. So I will see if I can use this option, with might already be for the next month Robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once over the initial hurdles, faster and more convenient than anything else. There has been some discussion from the ladies of offering custom pictures, or simple video greetings for modest Bitcoin transfer in the forum. Just to get the ball rolling.
