If you've followed me for a while or perhaps well-read about all things in cryptosphere, you know that the Vice Industry network was supposed to launch sometime in this summer.
For those not in the know, Vice is a softfork of the Steem network, with the major difference being that Vice is meant for adult content. The main mechanics are similar - authors get paid, voting in the content is also rewarded, just like on Steem network. Voting, or curating as some like to call it, and earning a part of the rewards is what the Vice team calls "get paid to watch porn".

On Steem, whales voting on content make a decent amount of money just by curation and nothing else. So the bigger stake you have, the more you will earn.
The beauty of this is - if you do not want to watch content, you do not have to. Voting on it is enough, but being a part of the largest business in the world might make you a decent amount on money. Everyone loves money, right?
So a few days ago, this dropped into my inbox:
With work and the beautiful summer days taking away all free time, the launch date has somehow suddenly creeped up on us. The launch of the VIT mainnet is scheduled for Juna 28th, which is just 6 days away.
A few days ago I managed to catch Stuart Duncan, the CEO of VIT in their Telegram chat and they have other news as well. As the mainnet was to be launched as http://vit.tube, it is now being rebranded to touch.tube. No problem, it has a decent ring to it :)
Looking at their main site, vicetoken.com, this has had an overhaul too:
Apparently, the team has been working hard and creating sub-projects for VIT, including legal marijuana, online gambling etc. the partnerships page has also a bit more to offer than a month ago, with Stormy Daniels and Hologirls VR entering the scene :)

So, with the launch imminent and future looking bright for money and adult movie enthusiasts, where can one obtain the Vice Industry Token?
VIT can be bought at multiple online exchanges, with the main ones being Cryptopia and HitBTC. I see most people prefer Cryptopia, but i have done all my buying on HitBTC and looking at the price at this moment, it has enjoyed a proper bear market, just like every other crypto out there. What better time to snag up some of these money-making tokens?
At the moment, VIT is an ERC-20 proxy token, that will be exchanged for the real token, once the mainnet is live. The details on that are still not clear, on how the exchange will be done, so pay attention to their Telegram group chat.

Looking forward to see the actual launch and the other services that probably will be built for the platform. Perhaps even delegation mechanisms?
Catch you later!
