Gauging interest: Adult video hosting with transcoding + CDN + crypto
 

Hey everyone,

I'm a backend developer considering building an adult-friendly
video infrastructure service. Before I write any code, I want
to understand if this solves real problems for you.

The idea:

- Upload any video format → auto-transcode to HLS
(adaptive bitrate: 360p/480p/720p/1080p)
- Storage + CDN included (EU + US locations to start)
- Embed player with token/signed URL protection
- Anti-hotlink, anti-leech built-in
- Crypto payments (USDT/BTC) — no chargebacks, no bans
- Simple API + dashboard

Target: small-to-medium tube sites, fan platforms,
clip stores, cam site recordings.

Questions for you:

1. What do you currently use for video hosting/delivery?
What's your monthly spend?

2. What's your biggest pain point with current solution?
- Price?
- Getting banned?
- Speed/buffering?
- Transcoding hassle?
- Something else?

3. What features would be must-have vs nice-to-have?

4. Would crypto-only payments work for you,
or do you need card/PayPal option too?

5. What would you expect to pay for:
- 500 GB storage + 2 TB traffic + transcoding?
- 2 TB storage + 10 TB traffic + transcoding?

6. Anything else I should know or consider?

Not selling anything yet — just researching.
Honest feedback appreciated, even if it's "this already
exists" or "nobody needs this."

Thanks!
