I used to stream with 2.5 ALL THE TIME but for some reason i sit at 2.4 max now, wonder why?! RTT is 37. Same equipment here, same everything, i guess it's them limiting the bitrate on SMC?!

^I wouldn't bother with the bitrate for now, it started going crazy the day they announced working on video page. The new layout is in too and who knows what else they're working on. My bitrate has been all over the place and then stabilized at 2.6 which I never had before, was always 2.5. RTT is not showing for me for the last 2 days.
EDIT: Today it's all over the place again and sure it ain't me.
Not sure what is going on but for me it is the worse week ever. worked double the time for not even the minimum goal. hopefully things will get better? fingers crossed for us, girls!
Meanwhile don't do like me :)) I get angry very easily and let that affect me, i even snap at members
Yes Sha, will follow you on the meditation sessions, I think that's the best thing to do for now
It got better traffic-wise, had some tips followed by shows. My gf still can't do shifts much longer than 1 hr, so haven't made goal, but we'll be back.
My bitrate is fluctuating this afternoon. Is this normally due to lighting issues? What can cause it to do that?
it is all over the place.
I started communication w support a month ago but when the hurricane hit I had forgot about cam.
little annoyances started for me a month ago and it could very well have been the loose cable outside so I am glad that is taken of.
I emailed them in the same thread since the issue was never resolved just to see if I can get a answer that it is universal on the site right now.
Im not happy w my computer for personal reasons but it is more than enough to do sm.
Before smc I could edit, upload and cam another website but now it fucks everything up. :P
My bitrate today has been in between 1.2 and 2.6. Earlier this week has been as low as 0.8 while I never have that happen and I didn't change anything and I have a stable connection. While c2c is worse. Others have reported the same issues this week, which is why I stopped trying to fix what's not broken here. I expect it to miraculously get back to normal after the contest.
That whale I did a show with is in my room today trying to meet offline. He's been in my room for 20 min trying to get my phone number to meet up. UGH! And he can't do a show because he hit his limit. I might need to block this guy.
And my favorite level 3 member could only do a 9 min show.
I'm tired and just want to make money then go to bed, but it's not happening. Fuck...sucks right now.
Models already have the 'notes' feature, so I doubt Streamate would build a rating system about guys to share among other models.
I agree that other mode's opinions of guys generally isn't relevant to me, so keeping my own notes about each show with a guy is the most important sales tool I have. Since I never do Gold Shows, only private & exclusive, I make notes on every guy, especially my whales or anyone earning me (my take) over $10. Sample:
$11e Dean loves titty fucking, 5stars!
- That way the next time Dean visits I can call him by name, thank him for the stars (or gold, or shake my tits so maybe he'll take another show)
Anyone I don't care about:
pi (pop-in)
or
block! repeated pi no $
Something like that. Notes ARE my business =)
Gold Show Issue using the NEW SMConnect
All day long, Saturday 21st, Gold Show description is NOT APPEARING.
Using the old classic version, SMBroadcast, everything appears fine. It's only using the NE SMConnect that you'll need to keep putting into your chat feed what your show is about. Otherwise guys will have no idea what you'll be doing for them.
Or, better still, until they fix it, go back to using the old classic streaming page SMBroadcast.
I've reported & documented this, but I was hearing models say that support was kind of blowing them off, so check your stream, and if your Gold Show description is not appearing for customers, screen capture it & report it.
This is good advice. And I've said something similar to other members. You know what? I just kept on like a broken record "I'll take your call in exclusive. This is how we can talk via phone." I was seriously tired from interacting with him.
I was wasted from his persistence and immediately hit the break button. He left then came back. He must have got the message cause he took me exclusive for 50 min!
Girl, I almost blocked him too. So glad I just kept repeating myself LOL.
Its a whole different ballgame when you mention paying someone a salary.
I have one guy lol he is hilarious said I am listed on his aunts estate and another guy is waiting to win the lottery. It can become a joke.
Ive met 2 guys from online and both I knew for years. some of these guys do become friends but their life is totally different.
1st guy told me for years he worked at a aquarium. He lives alone, single and at that time he was 35 (I was 33 at the time)
I go to Fla. We have a blast. He had to be at the aquarium on Saturday but his mom wanted o hang out with me.
His mom actually comes to his home on Saturdays and dropped off prepared meals for the week, pick up his laundry to wash, dry and fold. The moment she walked in the house everything turned cold, she had a snobby attitude.
We go out for coffee and we talk about my life being a single mom, working and if I had relation plans/goals. She asked me if I stayed in my own race. Im as white as she is so I am confused lmfao this woman says "you are Greek or something? you have such olive skin, your very exotic" I have had dumb shit to said to me in my lifetime but that almost topped the cake.
I go back to his home, he is not there, Im bored, I start going through his personal shit.
I had my bags packed and ready to go by the time this 43 yro man that worked at the local FISH STORE came home. I was at the airport changing my flight. you aint about to kill me, im going home.
He was truly a nice guy in the end, we still talk after I got over he lied to me. He was scared he wasnt good enough for me.
He was one of my first cam customers. Hes the one that talked me into working streamate when pcams shut down. He was telling me where girls went.
2nd man
he was 57, nice, well kept, federal lobbyist, manners, jazz, blues, movies We did a lot of phone talk before w met
he painted a picture and the dream was coming true lol Hes has a home in Arizona and DC....
I arrive in DC, I go to his Watergate apt that he is "refurnishing", he needs to move the Picasso, hes needs to pay the yearly dues
We meet at the bar downstairs at the hotel part, typical "pretty woman" moment. hes like 6'7 and Im all of 5ft, Im in love lol the story is about to get good
We go to his apt and there is no damn Picasso, everything is wicker furniture and glass table tops. The bed was a rollout from the 80s. Here I am, about to get murdered.
There was a damn framed photo of Jimmy Carter. He wanted me to see the great view lol so I go to the balcony and immediately go puke in the bathroom. I opened the cabinet to grab toothpaste and the whole cabinet crumbled in my hand.
I tell him I broke the cabinet door. He got mad lol and yelled "this cant be replaced!!!"
watch your tone Ill set this whole goddamn apt on fire. piece of shit apartment, idgaf its at the Watergate.
We ate Chinese food, I hate Chinese food.
He decided to tell me he was bisexual and I should be ok with that bc of porn lol and hes seen my videos telling them I love two dicks, I want to be with two men as lovers.. forgetting its fantasy. He wanted a nice young man, buff 25 year old with blonde hair. He also loves young women in their 20s.
His dick was about 5 inches
and he had hair plugs
^^ lol "dont touch my neck area at my hairline =) its still sensitive" His hair was not even his
Lmfao I do know models that have met great guys online But Im not one of them.
ask another girl but these are my two meeting a customer experience lol
^^^ I too have two meeting stories from the 18 years camming but i wont give details in open forum, it ended not good and they both lied a lot, did not meet my expectations at all.
Some girls met great guys who eventually married them but not me either :shrug:
^^^ LOL gr8 stories ...thanx for shaing
I have a number of guys that I wouldn’t be scared to meet, but why break the fantasy for both parties? I need the crowd sourcing to support my lifestyle, and I think only one former whale could. In fact I fully expect him to track me down and play Santa Clause if he ever runs for political office like he was thinking. Oh the stories I and his other cam girls could tell!
So basically, we all only meet 2 men? I have only met 2 also , that was the first year of camming.. it was such a mistake never again: These guys spent ALOT of money on me.
One was an older lonely truck driver I think that lived in same state as me and after meeting him for lunch with my youngest son, he always wanted to meet for lunch and never go to pvt anymore.. So I lost $500 a month off that guy.
The other one was Married 36 yr old guy who worked for Sun Microsystems. as an engineer.. It's true .. I verified and can view his resume on LinkedIn til this day.. He literally was going to leave his wife and new baby for me.. that lasted a whopping 3 months that one used to spend $1500 a month plus lingerie and bought things for my house.. So I learned after that .. those 2 men just by meeting them and making it reality costed me $2 grand a month so I never would meet another one..
Don't mess with mama's money!!
Such an outside the box topic, but fun. :))
I've met one of my regulars years and years ago. More than 6, I was just starting camming. Rockie mistake, fall in love with a custie in your first month. But damn, he was the sweetest. Our first private, he got dressed in a costume with tie and everything and told me: "I dressed properly, cause I want you to feel like we are on a date". That mindfucked me! To this day, he still shows up on cam in a costume. :)
Long story short, I flew miles and countries to see him. Dumb ass, what if he wanted to murder me? He didn't ofc. :)) So he picks me up from the airport, but he's cold. And I'm wtf, do I look this bad in real life? I thought I was pretty and I knew he made a lot of effort for my arrival. He bought new bed sheets (sent me pics and told me to pick what I wanted), cleaned the house, booked reservation at the nicest restaurant, got his best costume dry cleaned, stuffed the fridge with food he wanted to cook for me and all that yadda yadda.
So here I was all fucking confused and disappointed, cause I was wearing a sexy body suit under my clothes. We get at his apartment, I start to get sexy, half naked, trying to show him I'm actually fine AF.
Suddenly, I hear a key opening the door and there is this chubby chick yelling her lungs out! HIS FUCKING EX.
She starts rumbling about "You meet this hoe online and that's why you don't wanna get back with me?! You piece of shit". And there I was, with my tits out (I didn't hide shit, cause that's what a badass bitch does when she's insulted, she shows her best assets), listening to this cry baby.
She leaves. I finally get to fuck him. Probably best fuck of his life, he still remembers and feels sorry we couldn't get more of that. But everything was fucked also, because she can't stop calling him and threatening to kill herself because of me! So my guy is all chicken out and spends the next day at her place, trying to calm that piece of shit of a woman.
3rd day I take a flight and go home with my heart broken. And it wasn't even his fault. :) Well, it was, cause he told her he wanted to start something with somebody else and that he wanted his key back, because this new chick comes on Friday! Who does that?!
Moral of the story, don't give your heart online. That was my only experience, first and last. I was depressed for months. All water under the bridge now. Just take care of you chicks, your emotional and mental state are far more important than some cute big dick guy.
^ I enjoyed your story far too much.
^Haha, thx. Funny story after I left, she came at his house dressed in a corset and said: "See, I can get dolled up too and fit in a corset". Nice try, bitch.
^^^ A hotel room would have been better for you two, just saying.
The way he did things and the situation he put u in OMG, i feel for you!
