    Do you have your state or city blocked? If so he may not see you.

    Lol I will take the freeloaders. Anything is better than an empty room.

    Found seattle on the speed tester. Hubbie sent me how to do a trace router for the nodes and some are lower mtu. Seattle is literally the other side of the world to me. Explains the 5 second delay. So hopefully this will be a quick fix

    Thats the whole purpose of lowering mtu settings 1380 is min broadband packet 1472 is what gamers use typically 1500 is the default. Its always good to spend the time finding the best mtu packet size for you. Set to low it kills the speed. Set to high and it takes forever to validate
    You are a doll!!! I am moving at the end of this week and was hoping for the best. This info is a gem to me. :-D Thank you Selena

    Hubbie says just be careful when messing with your network adaptor.

    He also says decent speed is half the battle when you go into the path the seattle different paths and nodes are used which could all have different settings. This is old school 56k gamer stuff but it could help

I said "Oh, that must be because of the exchange rate" and he replied no...that before, the exchange made it come out to a lower amount. So I checked on xe.com and sure enough, $5 USD = $6.65 AUD, not $7.

    So basically what I'm getting from what he told me, is that Streamate is now putting our prices in whatever currency the customer uses, and rounding up the price against our knowledge, and then keeping the difference for themselves. The customer is paying more, and we don't see a penny of it. I don't know about you guys, but it really pisses me off. I'm willing to bet it's not just Australia, but Canada, the UK, New Zealand, and Europe too.


    This is true!!!

    I ran a gold show yesterday where it's $5 USD to come in. A guy from Canada came in, and I thought I was going to get $8. But I didn't.

    I'm not sure where the exchange happens though....

    A dude tipped 8 dollars into my GS and i only saw 5.65 or something other on the left for the highest tipping amount. I had to double look again but it did say he tipped 8. not $5.65 or whatever the amount was. So i only saw 30 % of 5.65.

    I had hoped to relay what hubbie was doing with the round trip stuff but I dont know where to begin. Umm bit speechless it was all black and white screens. But the UK is 15 nodes to seattle. Really sorry but it was way above my understanding when with him talking away like it was nothing. But its within 80 ping away from the 50. It was 180 ping.

    Yes, members can leave tags, even if they've never spent a dime on you, unfortunately. :/

    I have almost equally bad to good ones. I don't let them bother me like they once did. Just keep hustling and focus on the ones spending money. However, I do think Streamate should only let those who have spent money leave tags. It's just asking for guys with no life to harass models more than they already do.

    Just block any tags you don't like or that you feel don't apply. I typically have 1 block-worthy tag for every 2 good tags.

    I typed in the bad tags I got and lots of other models got the same thing. When I click on their profile it doesn't show the tag. So obviously the tag was blocked by the model. However, they show up. That isn't cool at all. So if someone tags you with anal and you don't do anal, you will still show up. I have "ugly boobs" blocked but i still show up under the tag.

    How do you search for bad tags to see which models have them? Ugh. That's scary.

    I'm not sure where the exchange happens though....
    I understand why your confused but I promise you if anything SM is LOSING money on these currency exchanges. You can look at xe.com but the exchange rate is the bank rate. Unless you into forex this is not the exchange your gonna get. You always get charged by the bank and/or CC company on top of your exchange because they are providing you a service. Dont believe me? Call you bank and ask them what they charge to convert currency!

    Also that amount you see is changing every second of every day 5 days a week. That means that if a client buys $100USD worth of SM Gold to spend on the site but he pays in Canadian dollars then SM gets paid CAD so lets say that SM receives $135CAD but then they have to convert it to USD and when they do this they may get less then $135 CAD because the dollar might have closed lower or higher when the conversion is done and on top of that they must also pay to have the currency converted! So now they just sold $100 USD worth on the site but only received $99 USD after conversions!

    Regarding what Diamond Dust is saying they cannot be "rounding up" if someone got paid $5.65USD for a $8CAD tip into a gold show! It just so happens that at that moment it worked out to $7USD for your Aussie client. I know this is confusing if you have never dealt with currency conversions but I do every single day and there is no way SM is gaining. They would be lucky to break even but certainly they are losing on these exchanges!

    The good news for your Aussie and Canadian clients is that right now the USD is dropping so they will pay less. However if your in Canada or Australia you wont be making the bigger payouts on the exchange when SM deposits you money into your account at the end of the week either!

    The trip to USA is nice and fast however the route through colarado is where the round trip issues happen number 10 above.

    Its then follows a path to another slow node 11 but picks up once it is past these 2 but not enough to get a nice ping to Streamate.

    The trick is to set your network adaptor to the mtu for these 2 nodes to get through them quicker however its only maybe 5ms on the ping less.

    Thats about as best I can explain what hubbie was talking about

    I really dont get this side of tech.

    This is the first time he hasnt been able to to put it in an easy way for me. Its basicaly the connection is the correct way. Its direct to USA. Not the other way through Europe. Its solving the mtu size to try and get through the bad nodes. its the datas trip over land hitting a bad 2nodes.

    Think I might need to treat him with a bit more respect rather than my live in nerd with a limp dick. (heart meds)

    http://streamatehelp.com/gold/

    Edited to add: Why did you think you would get $8? $5 USD = 6.55 CAD. Unless he tips more than the equivalent USD amount, you won't get anything extra. The most important thing I've realized regarding currency/exchange rates is accepting gold tips in free chat. Say you charge 10 Gold for a boob flash. Well, if he's in Canada, he may tip 10 "gold" in CAD, which is only equivalent to $7.64 USD, (then you get 35% of that), and you won't know it until you check your earnings page.

    As for DiamondDust's post, I was under the impression that the guys have the option to choose whether or not they see our rates pre-converted to their native currency, or in USD. But I couldn't find that in writing on the help site. I asked about this on the regular Streamate Thread a while back and got some interesting answers.


    I thought I would get 8 gold because (when he came in) it said 8 gold lol. It wasn't until after the gold show earnings came in that it said I got 5 gold.

    They really really really need to make it easier for the models. I hate seeing/thinking that I'm getting 10 gold but only getting 7, etc.

    Regarding my issues with the SM broadcaster not connecting I really tried every stupid little thing I could and I sent a bug report to SM to which I was given the standard canned response so I called Liz.

    Liz says that they are aware of these issues and every time we have them we need to continue to send the bug reports because that information helps the technician to tweek the system for the soon to be released "New Broadcaster". Liz stressed that they are very aware of these issues and although its frustrating they are working to fix them with the new release of the broadcaster so we wont have these issues anymore. The new broadcaster is expected to be released early next month so continue to send bug reports when you cannot connect. The canned response is the team confirming that they have received your report so dont take them to personally.

    In the meantime, Liz says the problems seem to be intermittent (which is my experience as well) so continue to try and use the broadcaster from time to time but when it doesnt work you should still be able to stream using the encoder so switch to the FMLE when the broadcaster fails you. Liz assures me that our placements will not suffer for using FMLE so long as we use it with the new 720 settings.

    I hope that helps out anyone else who is having these issues. It does make me feel better that they acknowledged that there are issues because that mean they are working to fix it. So far I have been using FMLE and I dont like it as I still get lagging and some pixelation but I have been making money with it and that is what matters! Keeping fingers crossed that the new broadcaster will be released soon!
