Verotel cut processing costs

Verotel announced a true revolution in the credit card processing industry, with new transparent fees, just 5% per transaction, while industry standard stands well over 11%.

CardBilling, their billing service provides a simple solution to accept credit cards for your website with an all-inclusive Transaction Rate of just 5%. To start accepting credit cards you need to be registered with VISA and MasterCard. They will help you with this easy process. CardBilling charges a one-time setup fee of US$ 500.00 and an annual registration fee of US$ 500.00.

With CardBilling you set up your services or subscriptions in your default currency. CardBilling collects the money from your customers and sends you a weekly payment. CardBilling is powered by Verotel. Verotel is a regulated Payment Institute with the Dutch Central Bank in the Netherlands, doing business since 1998, and never missed a payment.

No hidden Fees

There are no hidden fees in CardBilling’s pricing model. There are no transaction fees, statement fees or decline fees. For example, for a US$ 20.00 we only charge 5% (US$ 1.00) as an all-inclusive Transaction Rate.

You can process any transaction from US 1.95 to US$ 500.00. A 5% holdback reserve applies to all accounts for a period of 26 weeks.

Irregular Fees

A chargeback fee is a fee initiated by the bank of a cardholder disputing a transaction. CardBilling charges a US$ 45.00 fee for each chargeback added to your account. Thanks to their latest anti-fraud technology CardBilling tries to limit the number of chargebacks as much as possible.

Because recurring transactions invoke more risk to their banking partners recurring transactions are charged with a 1.5% surcharge. Please note that this surcharge is not applied to the first transaction of a recurring billing subscription.

Ashley Madison site hacked!

The hacking of the dating site Ashley Madison has raised complex questions about online privacy and the safety of personal data, but for the users of the site, which claims to have more than 33 million members in 46 countries, the questions are fairly straightforward: what are the chances my husband or wife will find my profile on the site, and what can I do to stop that happening?

This is what Ashley Madison customers, or anyone who shares intimate details about themselves on a dating website, need to know… CONTINUE

Virtual Reality Porn is here

The first naughty scenes are streaming to virtual reality headsets like the Oculus Rift right now. Naughty America debuted two videos that allow you to participate in a threesome. The scenes are available for free and the company plans on releasing more in the coming weeks. Eventually, the scenes will only be included with a subscription to Naughty America, about $8.

Since 2000, Naughty America has made over 8000 movies. Anyone with an Samsung Galaxy 5 or Note with a VR headset can strap on their device and be blown away by the videos right now… CONTINUE

Entertainment for Bitcoiners

Adult entertainment has pushed forward a number of technologies, and video technology is no exception. Someone looking for a relaxing atmosphere to admire the female form has a lot of options these days, but studies have shown that many of the free options are also full of malware. In any case, those options don’t necessarily fill the need that some have to have a real person on the other end. This is where cam sites come in, but then there’s a new problem: they’re often prohibitively expensive and require a credit card plus a lot of identifying, potentially embarrassing information to setup.

Thus while Bitcoin hasn’t necessarily been pushed along by the pornography and live entertainment industry as other technologies have, it presents a real opportunity for it… CONTINUE

Acts banned in UK porn

Pornography produced in the UK was quietly censored today through an amendment to the 2003 Communications Act, and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure.

The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 requires that video-on-demand (VoD) online porn now adhere to the same guidelines laid out for DVD sex shop-type porn by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC).

Seemingly arbitrarily deciding what is nice sex and what is not nice sex, the board’s ruling on ‘content that is not acceptable’ (p.23) effectively bans the following acts from being depicted by British pornography producers:

  • Spanking
  • Caning
  • Aggressive whipping
  • Penetration by any object “associated with violence”
  • Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)
  • Urolagnia (known as “water sports”)
  • Role-playing as non-adults
  • Physical restraint
  • Humiliation
  • Female ejaculation
  • Strangulation
  • Facesitting
  • Fisting

The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially… CONTINUE

Bitcoin donation welcome

bitcoin, the cryptocurrency

Bitcoin is a consensus network that enables a new payment system and a completely digital money. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen. From a user perspective, Bitcoin is pretty much like cash for the Internet. Nobody owns the Bitcoin network much like no one owns the technology behind email. Bitcoin is an open source project. That means it’s code is available for perusal by anyone. It has already been defined as the Napster of the currency and it is probably going to completely change the concept of money in the next decade.

To support this innovative project I decided accept donation in Bitcoin. The widget to donate is visible at the top right corner of the screen. I’m also supporting the Litecoin network, which is another potentially very interesting technology.

For those who are already familiar with the technology, these are the addresses where, if you want, you can send your donation:

  • For donation in BTC: 1AzNH4rJUFT5bcZp3V4aDTqBBrhc659Bd5
  • For donation in LTC: Lc23T9JhkkUspNoHJHfBKuU2ema2nQ6ssw

For those who are not, I suggest you to start understand this technology now, because, first or later you’ll have to deal with it. Then, the faster you start, the better is for you. Here is a list of sites to begin:
