I'm scared that I have made this choice...

[johnnywalkeriswalking]

Hello everyone,

If I am being honest I have always known of the blackhat life and understood it well from a voyeur perspective. I never really cared to look further in because I am doing very well for myself in Data Science. But at the end of the day, like all of you, I have a business mind. Sadly, I accidentally stumbled into a porn business. All I was trying to do is give free access to the boys on some content I had come across. But when one link turned into 250 members overnight... I just couldn't help but be astonished at the conversion. But also the community that porn has around it. The guys joining were like me. Just looking for that content for a little late night stress relief at the end of the day. They all had cod accounts and even hit me up to play. I offered money for moderators on the second day and they said something about me doing gods work. I just went for another day with it, cuz why not? Then a couple people started signing up to support the community on my affiliate links.

Now I don't know what the fuck to do. I have all the knowledge to create the perfect leadgen and community growth and developer background to not need any help. It's looking like a very very profitable model.

But... Im honestly scared man. Like I've never had any opposition to this, but the digital footprint one mistake shoots you in the foot. Obviously it's just copyright porn content so not a huge deal right, but we don't know if someone starts cracking down harder than they are, or when that could happen. I also don't fully know how to make that clean and ghost like footprint. Idk guys I could use some serious advice on whether or not i should pursue.

I was like you when I started selling accounts, being afraid that the big companies would go after me and whatnot, specially after some friends had gotten cease and desist letters.
Seriously though, as long as you're not stealing money or scamming no one will ever bother with a lawsuit, worst thing that can happen is they close your site or tell you to stop.
Best of luck and hope you make it big!

You are bringing me down with you because it sounds inspiring, I am starting school soon so i feel you on the footprint. I would recommend a few things.

1stly private who is, possibly even a stealth parking and domain purchase.
Stealth video hosting and uploading, probably better to host on google drive... Getting technical.
If you pay yourself you could always accept the money stealth and pay yourself after in many different ways.

If I may ask, where did you post your first vids?

Oh johnnywalkeriswalking

Look, I understand where you coming from, that is all normal.
For someone who has been in that world for years, almost a decade lol I had 0 problems.
But... That's just me... And yes it was easier before then it is today in general.
I did not think about it too much, or at all, maybe that's wrong maybe not...

All I know that for all those years I have in 99% of the time everything I was doing, I was doing from my own PC!
No proxies and other things, nothing like that...

Anyway, always listen to what is your heart telling you.

Trust me, there is no good or bad advice in this story.
You can do it or not. Simple as that.
The more you think, you're asking for more problems and once you ask for a problem, the problem will come.

I guess you are in some kind of paranoia and I won't tell you JUST GO FOR IT, DO IT!!!
We are all different and I completely understand you and your point.
Sometimes in our life, we need to skip and jump off something that seems so promising...

It's up to you bud...
If YOU feel ok go for it, if you think it's not ok just continue with DataS and forget about it.
Life goes on...

My honest opinion.

Wish you all the best!

Thanks so much for this reply. I’m curious that you mentioned being more worried about the big companies? To be honest I think I’m more worried about our big brother. Now... would they care? Probably not. But I think it’s knowing that by taking security measures to protect my anonymity that it will raise red flags while doing so. Also, I have had one question about the invisible digital footprint I’d love someone’s thoughts on. I’ll post in regular comments here. I really can’t thank you enough for the reply. It’s quite interesting how receptive and honest this community is... I just joined today.

Hey! Thanks for this reply and great info. I started on one of the ol discord communities, but I just focused on making sure people weren’t sus instead of what all the other people are doing. I think it created some respect with the community. I deleted it because I wanted to pause everything while I considered what was in front of me. Any thoughts on that technology?

Try using sites like njal.la and hosting located in countries with strong privacy laws like Iceland or Sweden.
Use a VPN like protonvpn or go with Tor.
Accept payment via monero or bitcoin (preferably the first).

Not to knock the other replies, but this was really great! Pure honesty is
my method of madness as I see it is yours as well.

its good to hear about your comfortable and successful past 10 years. That’s great man.

I do agree with you that there is a little paranoia. But then again I describe that as a worry about something you can’t control and then letting it consume you. It feels more like stress, or a controllable “worry”.But the worry only comes from the unanswered questions. As I’ve looked into filling the gap I don’t know (security), it all mostly made extreme sense. I guess once you learn how to think like a developer it can be quite understandable how to work around the digital footprint like a ghost.
However the worry comes from some unanswered questions I have. I’ll post below.
Thanks again!

You need to hide urself from law always use vpn or private browser
Few years ago i play my life with fire but lucky for me to leave that

If you're not outright scamming them, you're just breaking the copyrighting laws as long as porn is not illegal in your country. Companies will send C&D or get your domain shut if you start making too much out of it though.
P.S. Welcome to BHW

Maybe this is for another thread at this point, but everyone who has commented here has been great so I’ll just shoot...

if you’re focused on a ghost like footprint, and you use all of these services to protect you while you’re on the web... what about your dang computer when you are not on the web? Does my computer (mac) collect it’s own data that is needed to function and anytime I do get on WiFi (even if through a vpn) it will shoot that information as apple has prescribed? So looking at my iPhone. I receive software updates directly to my phone. So we aren’t discussing the necessity for a vpn here because that communication link would not be invisible, since the device is still sending data to apple with metadata about my device. To be clear I understand the point in a virtual phone number. But that would just be used to create accounts. My device is still logging keystrokes, and notes, files, etc. anyone get where I’m going with this? People are using burner numbers for account creation, but shouldn’t we be using burner devices as well? Or paying cash for computers and phones and never typing anything personal on it?

Also, what’s the point in dmca-free servers? From what I understand they just ignore dmca requests. But... that just makes you a target. Why don’t you just host in a dmca free environment but still comply with dmca by removing content. Then having backup sites ready if someone is requesting full take down?

give them what they want you know? But if they ever get annoying take back their privileges. Hahaha

Would love to hear about the story sometime, of course it was your friend right? Not you? Lol I probably sound like a noob. But seriously pm me, I’d like to learn from your mistakes as you call it.

Hey Mr. Positive... maybe I shouldn’t have called it stress. Tbh after learning more from all of you and diving in more, becoming a digital ghost is very intriguing. Stress gone. It’s manageable. Thanks for your comment!

To live is to risk it all otherwise you r just an inert chunk of molecules going where universe blows you

 

[cheesewiz1234]

don't be afraid mate, it was your choice anyway

 

[pepeneo]

most companyes do not care if you make some money with their material, however porn can be interpreted in a lot ways so be careful what content u promote

 

[Data8080]

This is a black hat SEO forum, where we are free to discuss strategies that Google, Instagram, etc. bans. But most stuff here will not result in a law suit, prison sentence, etc. I think you have the wrong perception of this site lol.

But I'm a bit of a privacy nut myself so if you need some help with that, I can help you. Privacy is a fundamental right

Good luck
