> verification of authenticity is, to me, something that is just completely fucked in terms of even being an idea. Do these same customers get angry when they find out the movie they just paid to see was fiction? I mean, I think they would if they were told it was a live broadcast. Of all the fetishes out there, I think wanting to view a person in real-time is one of the more easily understandable ones. I am positive…

Ah, yeah, that's a better metaphor than what I gave there. I'm also a bit divorced from the customer perspective in this situation because I've been working on the industry side for so long, so I have different expectations and views. That said, as an implementer of technology of this type, my point was that I feel like live verification gets EXTREMELY INVASIVE in this context. Once you start bringing biometrics and…

Sure, that's reasonable. Your original comment sounded more like, "Why do people even care?" but I'm totally onboard with the idea that actually implementing something like that is very problematic.

From the customer point of view, though, "How do I know it's really them?" is a reasonable question because they don't really understand the implications of the answers.

I'm a bit surprised how many hardware are supported: https://iostindex.com/?filter0Availability=Available,DIY . It's like a whole new world of names: estim machine, rabbit, bra vibrator, twerking butt deluxe, night howler, kinikat ... Even the Microsoft Xbox controller made the list.

I didn't imagine Xbox controller fit in the butt.

With enough peanut butter and acceleration, all things are possible.

Hey nice project. You may want to consider changing domains though "No .IO domain may be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that is sexual or pornographic" https://www.nic.io/rules.htm

.io is just the tld for the British Indian Ocean Territory. TIL.

Porntoken.io has been up for several years with no problems. Also porntoken was the first project to do teledildonics with the lovense toys through the Ethereum blockchain. https://github.com/porntoken/EthereumDildoMonitor

We had a live model at the late Dennis Hoffs cathouse near Reno with a lovense in her vajayjay taking ETH porntoken ICO investments in her toy through the ethereum blockchain.

Porntoken is largely done now, but we had a damn good time making the movies we did.

All the movies on the website still work however.

If you ever find one, let me know. I'd love to have a sonicare that just lets me use its power button as a simple on/off toggle. No timers, no 30-second stutters. Not even joking.

I’m pretty sure you can disable those if you look in the manual.

You can reset the brush back to easy-start mode, and do a thing where you reset the two minute timer. Haven't found a way to do just a simple on/off/no timer, though. I found this rather amazing rabbit hole of a page while looking:

https://www.animated-teeth.com/electric_toothbrushes/b-sonic...

This says... something about modern dev practices. I'm not sure what.
