Hello Gem Nation and Crypto Enthusiasts!
We recently hosted an AMA with Blocjerk. So here we are up with the AMA transcript, for those who missed the live session, this post will be a time saver & a feeder of knowledge for everyone.
INTRODUCTION
Pandah | TGH:
Welcome @Jmmy422
Let’s kick off with some introduction.
Please introduce yourself to the community.
Please tell us about your journey, experience and expertise in the Crypto field so far.
BJ Jimmy:
Hi everyone, my names Jimmy and I head operations over at Blocjerk. We’re the first layer 2 for the adult sector, a privacy EVM with a dedicated d’app ecosystem powered by our DePin to scale content and data hosting, transcoding and delivery. Our team are made of already successful on and off-chain businessmen and women highlighted below.
Mike Hales — Owner of First Class, Europe’s largest TikTok partner agency approaching 1000 top streamers signed, and co-founder of DeHub
Indi Jay Cammish — Founder of First Class, alongside Mike, co-founder of DeHub and renowned professional dancer for A list stars and Royalty.
Kane Mousah — Founder of BADR, a UK brand stocked at one of the largest high street retailers, Foot Asylum, with 65 stores nationwide
Crypto Colombus — Original founder of Cum Rocket who left after the CEO bankrupt the company and couldn’t build any of the promised utility.
Bailey Young — Business and investments executive consulting at multi national conglomerates with multiple 7 figure raises behind his name.
Malik Jan — Founder of DeHub, grew 1000x with close to 10m in the LP at peak 2021 bull run and former top billing agent at UK’s largest agency, Blue Arrow.
Pandah | TGH:
Fairly big team there
BJ Jimmy:
🤝 certainly have the right people in place
Pandah | TGH:
Please tell us about Blocjerk and what was the motivation behind this project? What is the story behind its origin? When did it start?
BJ Jimmy:
We have nearly finished building dehub.io — a non porn version of blocjerk.com which has pretty much all the features live now such as watch2earn, PPV, gated posts, tips and so much more over the last few years. After spending over 1m on development, it felt silly not to fork the app and target the adult market.
We’re here to liberate the globally oppressed, unbanked or undocumented through the power of blockchain, AI & stakeholders. Beyond the problems we’re setting out to solve that are covered in the following pages, our core goals will never change;
1) To provide a decentralised, permissionless & censorship resistant protocol for mature content creators and consumers offering private payments, data analytics, wank2earn & other cutting edge innovations through the full utilisation of rapidly advancing blockchain & AI technologies.
2) To sustainably scale and actually have the resources to disrupt a giant market without a billion dollar bankroll. We utilise our decentralised physical infrastructure network (DeePin) of shared computing power to host, transcode and deliver content or data while rewarding miners.
3) To create a a user centric ecosystem that self moderates and removes the middle-man while tokenising ownership to empower & minimise the fees incurred by creators as well as consumers.
4) To build a complete suite of data analytics toolkits that help creators find the biggest spenders, users find their ideal creators and businesses increase ROI by choosing the right partners.
5) To solve the rise of illicit online content and protecting children, victims of crime or the generally vulnerable via a more efficient decentralised moderation system to compete with the failing incumbent
Pandah | TGH:
As you described what Dehub does I was immediately thinking „that’s a great fit for adult content“ 😂
Let’s dive a bit deeper into Blocjerk itself then
BJ Jimmy:
😂 exactly right, we simply had to.
Or someone less competent would have.
Pandah | TGH:
How does Blocjerk ensure a censorship resistant protocol for adult creators. What are the special features that make it Innovative and Unique?
BJ Jimmy:
All data is owned by the users and creators, you can never be deplatformed, demonetised or lose touch with your audience.
To remove illicit content, we also built in a tokenised decentralised moderation system that empowers users to curate the app themselves. This offers a far more efficient and reliable solution to legacy centralised systems that are still failing children and the vulnerable today.
The more tokens you stake, the higher your ranking badge, the more power you have in app for trending or moderation while the more you earn from ad revenue share and the lower fees you face. As advertisers spend more to target you. This is something that cant even be done off-chain.
Pandah | TGH:
Very interesting concept for moderation 👀
Did you come up with that yourself or got some inspiration somewhere
BJ Jimmy:
I will add as well that’s the second line of defence.
The first line would be our AI moderation bot.
That scans for illicit content.
Ourselves entirely. I’ve never seen it before
Pandah | TGH:
The adult industry is still not that big in the crypto market. What are the fundamental issues holding it back that blockchain could really solve and increase its market share in crypto?
BJ Jimmy:
Competitors aren’t doing anything to solve issues with legacy apps. For example all competitors in crypto still enforce KYC, although there is no law requiring adult creators to KYC, and it goes against the grain of what this whole industry stands for. Another issue is getting creators on and the stigma / stickiness of crypto. We augmented the entire user journey so it feels like a web 2 app from start to finish, while we’ve also gone to the agencies and agreed deals to onboard thousands of creators in one go. As OnlyFans themselves failed to build this CRM for agencies and it’s a huge problem we’ve solved for them.
Pandah | TGH:
Yea I remember @BiT_SHaMaN mentioning that this kyc thing was the reason he couldn’t start his onlyfans
What makes Blocjerk stand apart from its competitors then? How are you going to scale up your project with time?
BJ Jimmy:
😂😂 what a shame
Pandah | TGH:
And is there even a project in crypto right now that you see as competition?
BJ Jimmy:
Considering all “onlyfans” killers in this space require KYC and Banks to use, I’d say no. We absolutely don’t have any competition
We’re also the first / only watch2earn in this sector and also the first not enforcing KYC or Bank requirements for creators. So we’re the only adult app that can truly target all corners of the globe. We’re going to scale by a DePin of shared computing power that our holders provide in return for $BJ.
Which is pretty essential for anyone trying to disrupt this sector
Pandah | TGH:
So shaman could just put on a mask and start a page called Shamina racking in that simp money anonymously?
BJ Jimmy:
Data is expensive and twitch have been running at a loss since inception to give you an idea
Then Kick are already down billions in year 1
Pandah | TGH:
Oooff
BJ Jimmy:
Even YouTube had their slowest rate of growth in history this last year
Yeah I’d pay for that
Pandah | TGH:
He/She isn’t cheap tho
Pandah | TGH:
Uploading your private content on any chain should always verify and materialize existing relations between the content and its owners, without any intermediaries. How does Blocjerk verify and ensure its legitimacy?
BJ Jimmy:
Every upload is minted as an NFT that fractionalises into 1000 pieces, each earning their fair share of revenue associated to that video. Creators can choose to keep or sell fractions in part or whole, to further generate revenue, which offers a revolutionary new form of fan tokens that could yield returns for life. The friend tech model relies on creators being active, providing value, or at the least bit alive for their keys to have value. However content generates ad revenue for life and lives forever.
Pandah | TGH:
Yo
This idea is legit amazing
Im not just saying this cause we have an ama with you guys 😂
How far from deployment is this feature?
BJ Jimmy:
It’s already deployed on dehub.io
You can click any video and see the Nft tied to it and the mint transaction right now!
So will be part of the BJ feature set on May 20 when we release the stream app
😂 thanks Pandah 🤝 it is a very unique and useless feature no doubt
No bonding curve BS
Pandah | TGH:
Just to make sure that I understood that correctly
Clip gets uploaded and mints NFT that is fractionalized.
These fractions all earn an equal share and can be traded?
BJ Jimmy:
Just pure fan tokenism
Yes exactly
Pandah | TGH:
You reckon this gif would make me some bank?
BJ Jimmy:
This is an example of one

And here’s the upload
😂😂😂 maybe over a few decades
Pandah | TGH:
Passive income baby
Let’s get some insight into your token,
Please tell us about its use case and how it will be crucial for the growth of the project.
How are the proceeds going to benefit and foster long term sustainability?
BJ Jimmy:
And a more recent one here
https://bscscan.com//tx/0xe880933bbd0777f0d01046e1dd8d1f501776877663d2c6dd048ea92896c9c31a
As we upgraded the Ca since then
We feel that every user owned and decentralised app requires a token for true network ownership & governance. You can’t rely on the native chain token as each protocol has its own incentives, user base and direction. Every digital business and arguably brick & mortar ones alike will need a token one day, to reward, engage or monetise their consumer base as we hurtle into the new digital frontier.

Pandah | TGH:

BJ Jimmy:
Patents pending 👀
But we’re open sourcing our patents anyway
We’re all about permissionless innovation here
The betterment of mankind
Pandah | TGH:
What’s wank2bank? @Shanssi27 is broke af atm but you’re saying he could turn his hobby into $$?
Shanssi | TGH:
Hope you got hot girls lined up already
BJ Jimmy:
So we have 2 forms
1. wank2bank, this is where users can create uploads and strap bounties to them for their first X amount of viewers and X amount of commenters.
2. wank2earn, this is where users earn $BJUSD, our stablecoin used exclusively in app, for watching free tube porn ads.
1 is already live under the bounty tab of dehub
2 will be exclusively to BJ
Pandah | TGH:
Okay very different from what I thought it is, but now it makes more sense
@Shanssi27 you’re not gonna get paid for fapping
And lastly, please tell the community about your plans ahead. Why should we invest into Blocjerk?
BJ Jimmy:
😂😂 yeah you don’t have to Fap, but when you’re watching porn it’s kind of inevitable
Beyond our guaranteed plans to onboard thousands of creators through our one of a kind agency CRM system and pioneering Wank2Earn innovations, we’re about to release a spicy music video with Swarmz, a UK chart topping artist who’s working with OnlyFans and Tinder already for his Show 20 vs 1. It will feature some of the top TikTok and OF stars in the world. This will play a role in our app GTM as well as an AI porn bot we’re about to release @blocjerk_bot. (This is the first time we’re revealing this and it’s not quite ready yet, this is just a teaser for this AMA as we love the TGH guys)
Pandah | TGH:
We love some alpha news drops
Ai porn bot as in generate your own content?
BJ Jimmy:
Yeah that’s right
Image Gen, video gen, deepfakes, face swaps and more
Pandah | TGH:
Also fits nicely into the AI narrative then 👌🏻
Alright I’m gonna open the chat now for community questions
It’s been my first ama in ages but this was actually fun 🤝
