Almost none of the digital issues seem to be around transacting of cash. That part seems solved (via Cashapp or BTC). All pain points stem around one party wanting to hide their identity. While simultaneously verifying their clients' identify in great detail, down to a psych profile! An interesting non-zero sum game ;)

Pretty sure johns pay with literal cash, not any digital variant.

  Indeed, I’d wager that most transactions conclude well before six Bitcoin blocks are mined.

  The OP did mention using crypto currency, although implied that it was an unusual thing for sure (in general, and not usual for them either). > I required deposits of 20% for long appointments (6+ hours), because I had a lot of time booked up that would be a painful loss if they cancelled. Deposits are hard to do because everybody wants anonymity and payment processers are cruel; I typically accepted amazon gift cards or crypto.

    I personally am very into crypto, but most of my clients were older and less likely to be crypto users!

      Do you have up-to-date info on how popular cryptocurrency is among camgirls, as opposed to escorts?

Yeah, I am amazed johns are ok with it. Not only paying multiple hundreds of dollars but also disclosing your identity and personal information to someone who won't? I can imagine myself taking many strange deals but this one just sounds like a recipe for disaster.
