The reason that I think it would be a mistake to limit a new payment system to porn rests on a few points.

1. If you want to link your system to other services to facilitate payments (either deposits by customers or payments to webmasters) you are more likely to gain positive alliances if you are seen as a universal payment service.

2. Similarly to (1) if the system were seen as universal it would be less open to being targeted by regulation.

3. For a new payments system to work it needs to be as widespread as possible. While the porn industry is big, it is only a small part of overall commerce. You need as many people to use the new system for as many things as possble.
