to be fair it was more your lack of experience that made it an issue, heres how it could be much easier:
1. Go to bitcoin ATM and buy coins or bank transfer some funds into an exchange, or buy off localbitcoins (or even mine some eth or xmr to excange to xvg)
2. send BTC to an exchange which trades verge (if needed)
3. buy verge
4 pay pornhub in verge (using the correct payment ref)
done
its actually not that much more complicated than paying a credit card bill manually
