Yes you can, and you can change it back every week if you want to.. what these girls say is not a problem, Because if your boyfriend takes your money no problem, it's only for a week and you can change your name back on the check the next day..
you are responsible for all taxes etc etc.. as you are the one on file who is earning the money..
I've been wondering this for the longest time.

I appreciate the concern :)
I did not consider that he may be responsible for taxes on that money? I just report my income as *my* earned income, even if it's cashed out to him 2-3 weeks a year. Also he does not have access to my actual cam accounts and such (also I've been on SW for four years, I think some girls might remember me from when I used to be super active, only I post on this account ;) ), just sometimes for example maybe arousr payments are needed faster than my bank will release my funds so I'll ask the person there to send that week's check out in his name. I don't believe that he would have any way to continue receiving my funds should the worst happen, all my payments are defaulted to paying me (I have to specifically request each pay period if I want it sent to someone else), and if it's a larger amount of money typically because I'm doing better, I can wait more for money, and it gets cashed out to me.

Can't see you bb. You froze bb. Audio out of sync. Been hearing it all fucking morning.
You'd think when your processor benchmarks @ 9k and you have more than enough ram and an
upload speed to Seattle of 12
Using a cat 7 cable
NOT SPLITTING you wouldn't have issues like this.
Guess not.

He would not be responsible for the money because it is YOU who reported your SS# not his... You are the one that will get the 1099 not him.

10-26-2016, 11:07 AM
The solution is :Adobe Flash Media Live Enconder 3.1 and you need to download from streamatemodels site : STREAMATE MEDIUM Quality file.You need to use the Resolution:800*600 with bitrate:800.I tried it for 2 days and this solution fixed 90% of the problem.WITH THIS SETTINGS YOU WILL LOOSE THE POSITION ON THE SITE BUT....I hope this will work for you!
Please send a reply if this solution is ok for you.THank you

A lot of people using that have issues too. Most issues are site related issues and have nothing to do with us performers or our computers. SM has server issues

It's impossible.When i use the Sm Broadcaster or Fmle with the highest settings i encounter the glitches.When i use the solution with the medium quality settings everything is working.

I can't run SM on my AMD 8. Won't work for me. Intel seems to be sm's friend. Sucked too. Had to buy one right after the other. And I have wired upload of 22.
Looks like you are 100% correct. It's crazy...this system will play any top end graphic intensive game on the market at 4k but streaming at 720 and getting 10fps. Reports show everything as excellent except low frame rates. I know it affects placement but lowering to the lower HD setting really takes a visual quality hit. I'm not sure if I should drop to that and get better placement vs keeping the stream high quality. I haven't had any complaints other than some audio sync issues. From Monday night when I started through today I'm sitting at 35% paid chat so not sure if it's worth taking the visual quality hit for it. Just got gold shows today.

What they're saying about using lowers settings is something we've talked about before, its just been awhile. These high quality settings that SM requires are way beyond what most users have. I dont have the numbers (53% Of Pornhubs visitors were mobile) but I'm guessing that a large number of guys are visiting from mobile devices and hd streams can run into problems due to high bitrates. Also websites coded with adobe flash can be very difficult to view on mobile devices and the support for future developments is going away. Guys want their porn wherever they can get their porn and that's basically everywhere. And once they discover a site that allows them to jack off in a closet at work without buffering issues, then thats the site they'll stick with. So if a guy says Im gonna buy a show when I get back home he may actually be telling you the truth. Because he already knows that if he wants a show on SM he better do it from a desktop version. It may be a little odd that they popped up with some old news it doesn't exactly mean that they're wrong. I don't think you have to use the Adobe FMLE to test this out. YOu can go to lower settings on both OBS and the SM Broadcaster as well. But it may be a very quiet shift because your placement will be a lot lower due to SM's algorithm. Chances are you'll be fine if you're in enough categories because then the guys will be looking for someone like you specifically. If you're not making money then what's there to lose?

I also find that it's just harder to stay connected when there are over 1700 models online. Lately, it's normal for 1700-1900 models to be online at a time. I usually encounter connection issues, lagging, audio sync, and network disconnects when the site approaches 2k models. Of course, this could be a coincidence, but I just notice that a lot of issues happen at peak times (more times can be considered peak due to high volumes of streamers).

1700 is right around where I start to get some issues too. Today there were over 2k models online and I had some weird glitches. I ended up logging off when I was having dudes log in to my room that I could hear but my chat was blank. I will work thru lots of glitches but I can't make money if I don't know what's going on in my room lol
Nobody talks, they come in and out or if they type something i dont even have time to answer cause they out already??!! WTF??!!

Same. With the encoder the bitrate will keep dropping and with the broadcaster the fps will keep dropping. When this happens I stick to the encoder because I notice that as the bitrate is screwing up, customers never complain about video problems. With the broadcaster though as soon as the fps starts screwing up the guys will start screaming about my messed up video.

I've been wondering this for the longest time.
I've looked everywhere on streamate and they say you can choose your payee but then say the account holder is responsible for tax info or whatever. I was originally trying to split it into 2checks but I guess that's not even an option. Help us!

I dont think you can split your weekly pay into two checks unless you're in a virtual studio. The account holder is responsible for the tax info, that makes sense. When they say chose your payee they usually mean you as the payee and you pick your payment method. Just to be sure contact customer service and ask them.

A bunch of glitches tonight:
1) Can't see a cam button to do C2C
2) Audio lagging
3) Freezing
4) Black screen
I told them all to refresh.....some even tried to reboot their routers. I still did great....but I lost a Findom paypig because of it!! GRRR

Probably because their server can't handle that many models being online. They need to get a new server and redo their site in a non-flash format but for whatever reason they refuse to fix the site and upgrade their server.

I've just got the same thing ...two regulars on a row , saying that is a "new system" or "the page is new " and they could not find the way to turn on their cams and left of course arghhhhhh The weird part is that i have had no issues with other guys showing off on cam , a few hours ago . They can change the freaking thing , while still running the site ?????

First time ever today I had the no audio glitch, what is this fuckery? One minute I was happily chatting with the spenders in my room and the next none of them could hear me! I had to switch to the encoder just so one of them could get the exclusive he wanted without incident. That is annoying as hell and could explain why sometimes we are in the middle of a conversation and people bail without further comment, maybe they can't bloody hear me grrrrrrrr.

If I'm not mistaken, Streamate and their white labels (at the very least the white labels are, idk for sure about the main site) are doing A B testing. Half the customers will get the page they've always seen and the other half will get a new design.

Dont know if it makes much difference
216.127.59.216
216.127.59.215
So https://www.streamatemodels.com is
https://216.127.59.215/
So it looks like they have some sort of load balancing
You get the site site with
https://216.127.59.216/
Which is a different ip address and a slightly better rtt
Might be worth a shot. As one ip might have less load
You get a security risk warning as your direct ip to the server but both are https
As you prob know. 1 machine 1 ip address. So it does appear there are 2 servers for the 2 ip address to exsist

streamatemodels.com

Maybe studios have a different way to login than the indie girls I dont know
215. Which is where we typically log in from

Okay so no, legit, blocking isn't working tonight.
I have a <45 second peeper I've blocked 3 times tonight. Bahhhh
Ok So Genoveve was right! Block IS working, but when I went and searched for the guy in my black list, they only blocked him from MESSAGES! Annoying as hell, but then I just checked the box so he's blocked from messages AND chat. I hope you know the 45 second peepers name, and can go search for it in your black list, he was probably only blocked from messages too, which would be why he kept coming back. Maybe that will help you out?Rt

YES THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED!
I just checked and dude was blocked from messages only. What a weird glitch. Checking that second box now.
Peepers are so annoying like I've NEVER seen them in my room until I'm already in private and they're trying to get a free show, they just scroll thru the performers that are in shows all day I guess.

10-27-2016, 01:29 PM
^^I've noticed that that glitch seems to happen most when you're blocking the guy and he's leaving your room at the same time. And yes it's annoying as fuck how your room will be completely dead, then as soon as you enter a pvt it suddenly fills up and it's peeper after peeper after peeper.
