I got approved for Cosmo yesterday afternoon, the money was sent from SM and I withdrew from Cosmo last night about 5.30, said would take 1-3 days, was in my bank by 11am today!!! So happy and relieved! Not sure if that was lucky, or my bank was quick I don't know, I wasn't expecting it until next week at the earliest!
One thing to note, I never got an email from Cosmo to say I'd received the money from Streamate, I had to check. Also you can give SM the SAN code and change your payment method before you get approved. You get 2 codes with Cosmo, one for the balance and the other for the card itself. Either is fine, you can swap between them instantly once you have money in there.
Oh I nearly forgot, fee-wise, pretty much the same as Masspay. I thought I'd lose out with higher fees with Cosmo but it wasn't the case.

This is all good to know! What is the point of the plastic card and I did not bother with it as it takes three weeks or something? I did the Cosmo application earlier today touch wood seems painless.

I guess not everyone has a bank account, but also you could spend with the card straight away I guess, no need to wait for a bank transfer. I'm not bothering with a card, I literally want a simple, reliable way to get my money from SM into my bank account.

Hi everyone
Does anyone know how long a re issue takes? I asked SM to reissue my earnings as the mass pay hell continues, this was yesterday night and they said will be issued by the end of today but I didn’t know if they meant that’s when they do it or if that’s when it goes into my Cosmo account? This whole mass pay debacle is an absolute nightmare x

It might not be until next week. That's what they told me, anyway.

Thanks for replying , the re issue was only applied for yesterday so I’m not expecting it to be super fast . SM said at the U.K. event that they are hoping to do transfers direct again I really hope so cos I don’t really like any of these methods x

It did run a lot smoother when it was direct transfers, but I think the bank they were using decided they didn't want to any more. Sadly, adult-related transfers are considered "high-risk" so a lot of banks like to avoid. Shouldn't be like that, I know.

I had a couple of problems with direct transfer, I was always on edge with it partly because they'd send Thursday and sometimes would not land in my bank until Monday.

Lol I've been on SM for over 3 hours and have made $16 dollars. I know this is the usual random traffic flow of the site, but the lows have surely been LOW in the past few weeks. November used to be better!
Thank god for indie and splitcamming.

Is anyone having issues with their tip vibes disconnecting a lot? Trying to figure out if it’s a problem with my vibe itself or if something is going on with the site. I swear it’s disconnected about five times in two hours tonight.

Hey guys, is anyone else having low traffic, and a lot of guys saying that their internet is not working. I'm not trying to complain just want to know if the issue is sitewide, or if I should email support.
It's been very slow for sure. I noticed it since the week before Halloween (although, to be fair I have barely been on in the last 2 weeks). I ended up doing okay simply because a lot of regulars were excited that I was finally online... I though this is common on SM, but more than ever I felt like there were bursts of traffic and 20+ potentials, and then periods of barely anyone popping in, let alone sticking around long enough for me to say hi, and very low number of potentials.

My Lush drops out randomly but I can reconnect it quickly (usually) by scanning the QR code again. I don't know why it does it. Sometimes I check and see that it's dropped out and I can reconnect it before it's an issue.

OK so, a quick SM update:
I only had one hour to get online today and thought well, might as well. I get online and it's as dead as yesterday, which is what I was expecting. Suddenly, my room gets FULL, like, so many people chatting and staying and 30+ potentials (I used to have like 5 or 6? -and make ok money anyway- recently I've had up to 15 but with very bad traffic so no idea what this is about).
I get taken private by this new guy, tipping a lot, we do a short show, I come back into free... back to absolute deadness and low potentials.
It's almost like your room doesn't exist, then it appears into reality for a bit and then it disappears again with no explanation. It's just baffling. I'm only explaining this because there is no way this is "natural" traffic rhythms. They must be randomising placement or doing something weird for sure.

Yes they are rotating our profiles again! If you watch the home page and refresh every 1 or 2 mins you will see models profile moving then sometimes disappearing from front page landing on page 2

Any late night or over night girls here or early morning? I hate getting up and my afternoons are no longer working well for me cause my neighbor is constantly outside talking and grilling. I live in a mobile home in a retirement community so not only do I hate thinking he can hear me, the guys on here will be able to hear him to. I just had to logg off cause he is talking to someone so loud.
I'm thinking of trying midnight (est in the US) to I cant sit anymore orrrrr trying to do some night, nap and force myself up in the AM. I worry of the colder nights approaching but I have heat... I just am so used to being in bed by midnight and up by 10am... how have you guys adjusted? Are you long term overnight workers or morning workers? How have you balanced life and sleep doing that?

I work late nights/early morning, or just early am.
Sometimes other hours as well.
Check out a white noise machine, it helps diffuse inside/outside noise.
I put down throw rugs tack em up over windows /doors

I attempted to switch from Boleyn back to direct with streamate and my address (bank statement) was approved after a week but my ID sat around for 3 weeks not getting approved. I emailed support a couple times to find out if they had a time frame, but I would only get standard script responses about them going in order and it may take longer than the 5 business days they claim. I decided to go back to Katy and was back streaming within hours of the switch.

no glitches for me, just garbage traffic.
2 hours online and I've made $11. Might have made more if these guys weren't so painfully cheap and knew how to read. I ask for 10 gold for C2C access with me. Its RIGHT THERE in my room topic and in my auto texts advertising it, and every single person today who has taken me exclusive anyway, immediately tries to turn on their cam. when I reject their cam request and politely ask for 10 gold for access to it, they leave quicker than they came in.
I sometimes wish SM would make C2C an automatic upcharge. These guys abuse it to no end, just like they do privates. if I had it my way I would never have to C2C with anyone (cus ew) but for some reason these guys are obsessed with it, yet refuse to pay for it.
edit: I should mention that I have plenty of guys who DO pay for C2C without any issue or complaints, but on days like today it feels hopeless lol.

emkato, maybe it's a way to make it at least comfortable with c2c for you if you offer it only in exclusives? I.e. the price for exclusive is higher, and it would kind of 'include' the price for c2c in it. So you don't have to tell them to pay these extra golds every time, you just say c2c is in exclusive.

I appreciate the advice!
My private rate is actually $1 more than my exclusive rate because I hate privates lol. I never really have to do them, therefore elliminating the freeloaders who scour the site just to pop in and out of private shows. So %99 of all the shows I do are exclusive, and raising the price to include C2C wouldn't benefit the hustle i have going on.
Thanks to advice from SoloDesire a while back I finally decided that charging 10 gold for C2C is what works for me. C2C has always been anxiety inducing for me and the only way to make it worth my while is to charge extra for it. Not only have I eliminated the private show lurkers, but now I also eliminate the guys who want to turn on their cam half a second into the show without even telling me what KIND of show he wants or who just want to expose themselves without earning it and I avoid feeling uncomfy.
I was actually surprised at how many people are willing to pay extra for C2C. Hell, I see girls asking way more than 10 gold for C2C access so my rate is a bargain lol. I was just really frustrated with how slow it was Tuesday and the entitlement these guys have to privileges that need to be earned in my cam room.
I know that was a long explanation but maybe it will help another girl find the confidence to do the same, idk. Lol.

Wow, you were able to recover your boleyn account after leaving? I left them when they they were playing around with the payout situation but wanted my account back once they finally got it together. They told me that I had to make a new account. This is one of the reasons why I haven't been only; because I have to start over with all the foolery.

I do $20 for this and about 75% of them take it. C2C is just too intimate and anxiety inducing for me so they have to pay it. Glad it is working for you!

Hi everyone.
Sorry I've been a bit MIA this week. Sadly, my Mum passed away suddenly at the weekend and this is the first time I've been emotionally strong enough to get online. What I can tell you is that yesterday, I was paid via Skrill, with zero fees to me and the money is in my account today. Which is good - because I now have a funeral and other expenses to pay for. I'll be online more when I'm stronger. Just easing myself back in for the time being until it's time to start the funeral arrangements - Mum is still with the coroner due to it being a sudden death at home.
