I'm leaving the adult industry
 
It's been a great 20 years; I've made a bunch of friends and had a real blast. I wouldn't change the past two decades, as they've made me who I am. I'm handing off the pay site to my partner, and have sold off or given away all of my affiliate properties. I'll probably open-source (or sell privately) some of the code I used to make it all happen.

Going to focus on crypto and mainstream opportunities now; they are just proving much more fruitful than adult has for the past few years. I'll still be here to troll and socialize, but I won't be taking on any new adult ventures. I wish you all the absolute best! :thumbsup

Is that the failed programmer guy? I don't see his posts. Welcome back to GFY, you fuck! Hopefully your stay will be longer this time.

Good for you man! I am working towards an exit strategy myself but it will probably take me 20 years. LOL

Hopefully I can still pick your brain as to how to, you know, actually make some money in this crazy Biz!!

Good luck to you Sir (tho you will not need it).

edgeprod 02-04-2015 11:42 AM

With the vultures circling in email, let me be up front: I'm NOT giving away any more sites, etc. That's been wrapped up for a little bit now. What I AM willing to do is give some of the code away (or sell it). But you have to have the balls to ask in the thread, not in an email.

If you attended the classes, you'd no longer be jealous (and I can't jelly my cock up your ass). Everything was about 10 years behind. I'd assume it's even worse now. The best part about campus was Mahmoun's and Educated Burger ... oh, and being within 20 minutes of where i grew up, so Mom's cooking was always available.

How did you not know where I went to school? I've published physics and comp sci papers, etc. It's not exactly a secret.

The line between adult and mainstream is imaginary at this point or anyone who actually produces anything online. It's all widgets... see you on Skype... ;)

Pass. Just make sure you err on the side of accuracy, so you don't inadvertently fuck yourself. :2 cents:

Good move.. Adult for the common affiliate died quite awhile back so there are going to be limited customers for various webmaster tools and so forth. There is still money around, but much better opportunities out there in other places. Personally, I do a lot of buying and selling of things off CL & ebay.

Curious though about your crypto.. Are you doing mostly buying and selling or are you still mining as well?

I miss the "BIF!" .. "BAP!" .. "BOW!" sound effects.

I am mining with ASICs, but my focus lately has been on the Crypto Capitalists network (see sig) and with a handful of startups in Silicon Valley. Trying to make "the next big thing" as always. I love to innovate. :thumbsup

Actually, Google is pretty cool with it. I am working on their php API right now. It's definitely the former. Silicon Valley is up for anything that makes money. Adult just isn't bringing in what it used to -- I have two projects left to wrap up, and am not taking on any more.

edgeprod 02-04-2015 01:33 PM

Heavy travel until next Wednesday. Will poke my head back in then. Be good!

I am sure that you will rock whatever you do.
