LOS ANGELES—Chaturbate has announced that in response to community requests, it has expanded its alternative payment option to include Bitcoin.
Shirley Lara, chief operations officer at Chaturbate, said, "We are pleased that Bitcoin is now available as a token payment option. This addition is effective immediately. Users will find Bitcoin displayed as an option on our token purchase page."
Bitcoin has become an established cryptocurrency that uses a distributed database spread across nodes of a peer-to-peer network to journal transactions. It uses digital signatures to provide basic security functions, such as ensuring that bitcoins can be spent only once per owner and only by the person who owns them.
Lara added, "We decided to introduce the Bitcoin payment option because of interest expressed on camming forums and to Chaturbate's customer service department."
To start using Bitcoin on Chaturbate today, users can go to chaturbate.com and choose the option from the "Get More Tokens" buttons.
