So who is signing the checks now, still the 'old' owner we know? Cant look up cause i am paid thru Payoneer, not getting checks for years now.
Oh, great Question. I will let you know when I get my next check next Monday. Or maybe someone else can chime in, and answer this.
S's name is still on the checks but that doesn't necessarily mean that he still has 100% control over SM or that he cares or is in the loop about what is going on at SM. But again what I read was conflicting, it wasn't definitive in regards to ownership or what's going on at SM.

So, update...Liz got back to me real quick, and yes NZ cammers are entitled to 35%. But despite being an NZ resident I don't count as an NZ cammer because my submitted ID pic is my passport which originates from -unnamed asian country that is totally fucking respectable and not, like, North Korea, I mean come onnnn-.
Bummer of all bummers.
Sittin' here in the bottom-feeding 30%, so don't y'all be moaning about getting ONLY 35%.

That 30% rule sucks! I just wonder if you have tried getting any form of New Zealand ID? A drivers licence, National Tax number or even just a residence card. I do not know if these things exist in NZ but I have ID for many different countries and often you only need the address where your currently staying to get a form of Picture ID.
I dont need/want to know the whole back story of your situation but I just wondered if you have explored every option because often countries offer a simple form of photo ID that the average citizen is unaware of.
Dont give up yet! If your a resident then there must be a way to get some ID showing that and then you can resubmit to Liz to try and get that extra 5%

Thanks for the sympathy :)
Liz says that pretty much the only way I can change my percentage category is to make a whole new account with an NZ id. So I'm going to get my non-NZ licence converted to an NZ one for this, it'll take about a month. And when I make a new account I'll lose my ratings, tags, etc, can't even keep the same username. It's an annoyance for sure, but at least there IS a way for me to get to 35%. I may be camming long-term and I sure don't want to lose that extra 5 for any longer than I have to!
Meanwhile, I'm gonna focus on my other cam prongs, like that dangblasted CB, Modelcentro which I just signed up for, Clips4sale which I'm going to sign up for, and LCMS when my application gets through.
I wish there was another private-based site that could rival SM!

Maybe ask Liz if you can keep your original account open for a bit when you open your new account. Then log on to the new one for the first couple weeks to take advantage of the "new girl status" but then also log into your old account and let your guys know your changing accounts, the new name and ask them to go and like it. You wont be able to get every guy but its a way to get some of them. Also make sure your main picture on your new account is the exact same one from your old account. Most guys only look at the picture when they click to enter your room anyway.
Oh and once you know your going to be receiving a new ID ask guys to email you to be added to your mailing list. That way you can also email all those guys and tell them about your new account!

Hi everyone I'm AnikaLopez on streamate and new here to stripperweb. I have a question about Streamate and figured this would be the best place to ask. Does anyone know where streamate is based?
I'm considering moving abroad and need to know if I would need to pay American taxes if I live abroad for more than 330 days. It is my understanding that if streamate is US based I would have to pay US taxes otherwise I wouldn't.
Thanks

Great ideas! You could keep the same username and just add _ in your current username, like between words or at the end of your username. I have done this on another site when I wanted to rejoin but couldn't use my username. It works well and guys can locate you easier in search engines etc, while being able to recognise your name instantly on sites. It would help you with social media sites too if you have any. Make sure to link the new profile on all social media outlets :)

OMG I hate it when I feel like I'm having a major brain fart, but the contest says it's 3 days, but when I do the math, it's more like 2 days. Geez am I adding wrong? I'm PST and 4pm my time is midnight GMT time ( 8 hours ahead) so Dec 23rd at 4pm for me the contest starts... what? KatM...can you help me figure this out.

^^^ really? I was a bit confused from the message because it said 3 days. 3 days is 72 hours. You know how some things just seem really confusing? LOL especially when the best math you can do is balance your check book.
"The event will run for three days, on December 24th, 25th, and 26th (GMT). It will begin at 12:01AM GMT on the Dec 24th and end at 11:59PM GMT on Dec 26th" ohhhhh I re-read it. 4pm on 23rd it starts 4pm on 26th it ends. (for me)
Thank god! I have a hard enough time counting the gold down and figuring out how much more I need during a gold show!

The other night I had a few privates early on in my shift that were maybe 4 minutes long each, and a couple exclusives. I checked my earnings after the first half hour of my shift and noticed I only got paid for the two exclusives, not the two privates which were definitely longer than 30 seconds. both customers were typing to me the duration of the privates so I know they were still there - has this happened to anyone else? I emailed support but no response.

SMbroadcast is pissing me off to no end, ugh! I've re-installed and deleted it so many times now because it stops calibrating at 24% and doesn't do anything.
I would get the encoder back but I literally HATE that program more than anything. It's so slow and it just randomly bugs out and fucks with my stream. My brother laughed his ass off when I told him that I used it- apparently it's a creaky old tech dinosaur.
Sigh. Good thing SM is my least favorite egg.
I was in LOVE with the SMbroadcast until 3 days ago all the sudden it no longer works. Nothing but error messages. If I'm lucky I can stay connected to it for maybe 5 minutes tops. I finally rearranged my eggs in this basket here of mine so luckily it's not imminent doom for me, however my happiness level is way up because SM is no longer my #1 do or die . since may it's been funky and one can only hope it'll get better. We will see :)

Ok Ive bounced around on the streamate search and i havent found anything to potentially answer my question, i haven't seen up here unless i missed it in the thousands up here lol. Im going to start on Streamate and i wanted to include my husband in a couple of special shows like Gold shows,but not full time just as a feature. Does he have to sign up, do I have to sign up under couples to be safe or can he just be in a couple of quick shows as a "prop" with no problems? Im a newbie trying to get over my nerves and just do it,im waiting until my cycle ends so it gives me a few days to get it together. Im excited to start but nervous! Sorry if i annoy anyone by asking a question thats been answered.
I was just thinking the same thing! I just emailed Liz/Vanessa to get my husband on my account/profile for special shows. Thanks Ivy for your reply too.

I've had people stay in there for several minutes in fact having 4-5 people in the prv at the same time and only getting paid for one person. Answer is always they never connected, if they were talking to me they were connected!! My exclusive rate is $1 lower a minute than my prv to keep people out of my private room. No more freebies!

I am wondering if SM will issue this weeks cheques/payments early to us on account of xmas falling on the Friday this year. I would love to have that money come before xmas! On the flip side though if they dont issue them early will they be late?
^^^ I wish to know exactly this myself, i could do with some money before christmas as i kinda overspent here on gifts and all, also paid all my bills to make sure they paid in time. I looked up for last year payments and friday fell on 26th and been paid exactly that day but this year it falls on 25th. Hard to estimate what they'll do this year but i know we got the money earlier, before thanksgiving so i hope they'll do the same for christmas?!

I didn't get any private or anything tonight, by far the worst night I've had yet but I'm pretty sure something is up with the feed, but ended up with 3.50, so I'm pretty sure that had something to do with it?

With your name change, I'd suggest putting your current name into your new account info. Either tag yourself with it, or put it in your new bio information. All that is searchable.
If guys are searching for you under your old name, you'll want them to be able to find you on your new profile name =)

I heard from a friend that she asked Liz and Liz said payoneer goes out on the 24th, and then she said that support answered her back and said the 23rd? I'm not 100% sure this is just passed on info but you would think because the 25th is a holiday it would be sent out early prior to the holiday like American Thanksgiving.

12-21-2015, 11:40 AM
If they are a new member and have not done pvt/exclusive before on the site they have to either tip a small amount (I just tell them 5 gold) and then they should see the option for exclusive, OR do a couple mins in pvt chat FIRST (depending on your rate) before they will see the option for exclusive.

When I browse as a customer and I'm being nosy and looking at girls' prices, sometimes it only shows me private. But if I exit and retry, it shows me both private and exclusive. I don't spend money.
webcamcutie
12-21-2015, 11:47 AM
Why I said, "If they are a new member on the site and have not done pvt/exclusive before" thats why I always ask them if they have ever done pvt or exclusive on the site before and if they say no, then I tell them what I just listed above, because that's what I've been told to do, so I was just passing the information on.
Chellyinparadise
12-21-2015, 12:26 PM
Yea they have to spend something first before they have the exclusive option, i didnt know that either until others mentioned it here. So now i always tell them once you spend then it will show next time they log in.

I dont understand what happened? did SM basically tell them they had taken me private without telling me we were private? no one popped in the paid chat window and i didnt get any requests for exclusive so im so lost

It's a full 72 hours. :) So 4pm from the 23rd to 4pm on the 26th. 3 full days hours wise.. even though technically it falls on 4 different ones... it took me forever to figure out. Felt like I was about to fail a math test.

Ok everyone I need help. I have looked through literally hundreds of threads here on SW and haven't found a solution. Sorry if this question has been answered already before.
I am using the fmle on a macbook pro. My bitrate is great (set at 2500 kbps, avg output @1100; I had it set lower yesterday and the video was terrible, the lag was several minutes behind). In the fmle window fps says output is 11, but under ranking on SM it says 30. Not sure why there is a huge difference there. But I am having terrible lagging and delay issues!! Custies say my audio is behind my video, sometimes as much as a minute! I have been messing with the settings for the past two days and at this point I have no idea what else to do.
Also, I don't believe my internet connection is the problem. I was on wifi originally but have since connected with the ethernet cord hoping this may help. My download averages at about 39.xx mbps and upload at 11.xx mbps.
I hope I have provided enough info. And again, sorry if this has already been asked somewhere else! Thanks for your help!

Marina, when u try to work with out the encoder, in order to select ur camera, u go on the picture area where u should see urself on SM chat window and do right click with mouse, there u get Adobe Flash Player settings window, u go 'Settings' option and choose from next small window ur camera, microphone, whatever else, also tick the boxes of 'remember' the setting and 'permit', u have a few tabs available, just look around all of them. i try to take a screenshot for u here.

Edited to add: this procedure is working on ANY flash player based sites (they all like this i think), just go right click on the black screen where ur picture should come up and select what u need. Good luck!
