The first time I launch the software, the forum is not displayed.It has happened to me several times in a row. Quitting and restarting usually fixes it, but not always.

To fix this issue I have found that going to your profile then selecting Posts and clicking on one of your old posts opens up the forum and it tends to work normally after that.

This Sample Image of the Bid system is what has me *****...

It looks like each bid must be higher than the current High Bid.

except for spots 3 and 4, where the bid is the same. ??

I guess we will just have to wait to experience it.

I don't get home to computer access till 10am EST.
So I guess I will catch the tail end of the Bidding.

The first time I launch the software, the forum is not displayed. I have to quit and relaunch the software to see the forum.
It's a systematic issue.

👍 😍 😎

Mara is absolutely beautiful with a perfect body.
I am very happy that she is the talent chosen for June.

Why today and not yesterday?

Thanks @user5789 . I was thinking of adding an 8TB SSD and spanning it with my current 4TB SSD to make 12TB which should be enough space for the foreseeable future.

Definitely one of the best Talents on iStripper ! Kudos!

Using a Check For Updates option should do what it says, not something different unless it first asks for permission to do so.

Totally agree

Congratulations Mara ! Hope to see you back soon !

👍👍👍

Thanks @celine !!! A very nice option 😎👍

It is a real pleasure for me to announce that Mara Blake has been voted Talent of the Month for June 2023.

Mara is a real discovery for the team! A magnificent slender, wonderfully delicate and sensual brunette with infinite legs and a femininity on edge...

Your ratings are the best testimony to Mara's crazy charm, with no card below 4.82!

Mara is also an excellent dancer and plays brilliantly with the pole dance bar!
Her talent to interprete characters is also amazing!

Behind the professional is a sweet young woman with a big heart 🤗

Congratulations Mara ! Hope to see you back soon !

Thank you, this a very welcome option 👍

My thoughts.... personally, I would go for an 8tb ssd. They are not cheap, but in my country, they are about the same price as a 16tb HDD. I actually had a storage hdd, which had an oddity where the sound was a little out of sync with the picture, but really not noticable with the 4tb ssd I now have.
(p.s. I personally don't have too much faith in western digital hdd's though, I had two fail rather quickly.)

On the settings page of the app there is a button labeled Check For Updates.

However, when I clicked it to see if I had the latest version it automatically began to perform the update. This was something I did not want to happen at that point as all I doing was making check. I was was not requesting an update.

Using a Check For Updates option should do what it says, not something different unless it first asks for permission to do so.

Totem gave us a promise not to share our personal information with third parties - but now in order to enjoy the full functionality that we previously had we are required to give that data away ourselves. I am not happy about that and never will be though, reluctantly, I have to accept it. However, I can not fully accept that important information such as the release of a new version is hidden from us.

Just how do you think they will know how easy new users find it to set up a new account if those new users do not know that they are taking part in a test and have no reason to provide any feedback ?

I totally agree with @TheEmu on such subjects.
If Discord account is not mandatory (and it isn't), important infos should be given to customers here too.

Wow, that's great news! 😊

Super, je pense avoir suggéré ce système il y a quelques temps 😉
Autre idée a discuter chez vous à l'avenir : donner la possibilité de gagner un NFT ( dans un jeu TGIF ou autre...)
Une manière de mettre le pied dans le monde Dolz pour certains utilisateur encore non intéressés 😉

Great, I think I suggested this system a while ago 😉
Another idea to discuss with you in the future: give the possibility of winning an NFT (in a TGIF game or other...)
A way to set foot in the Dolz world for some users still not interested 😉

I'm super happy to announce that from today, you can purchase iStripper VR 180 videos with your GIFT CARDS !!!
(They cost 30cr otherwise !)

VR 180 videos often feature the outfit chosen for the Dolz Trading Card show, getting these videos is a great mean to discover what the Trading Card contains 😜

Rush on our VR section now and enjoy!

I guess this is where we are at.

Announcements by the team are made on Discord.
The team, May or may not duplicated them here on the forum.

On the HOME page of the app there is a NEWS section (which seems to be implemented as a set of links to posts in the forum). New version announcements should appear there, or do Totem think that a new version is not news !

Totem gave us a promise not to share our personal information with third parties - but now in order to enjoy the full functionality that we previously had we are required to give that data away ourselves. I am not happy about that and never will be though, reluctantly, I have to accept it. However, I can not fully accept that important information such as the release of a new version is hidden from us.

In passing, I find it unfortunate that the news section is now very much less prominent on the home page than it previously was. I now have to scroll down to see that the news section even exists, let alone be able to read it.

Apparently .516 has some changes to setting up a new account that they wanted to test

Which would make it a beta, but it's the default download from the web page and is the version available via the "check for updates" link on app's the settings page. So, is it a beta or not? I am still ***** on this matter.

Wow - just a few days to go and there seems to be a lot of ***** on how the auction might work. Hope it all gets cleared up in time.

I think you guys are overthinking it. The minimum bid amount is the minimum for making the next bid on the card. Say the current bid price of a legendary card is 3000, to make the next bid you have to bid 4000 or more.

Cool. Good luck on that novel. 👍 😎

There is also a forum on Discord.

https://discord.gg/3ssN3utTks

@MKST @TheEmu

This html syntax works for me:
<a href="file:///C:/PATH/FILENAME">LINK TEXT</a>

Thanks, I was hoping for a relative path .. relative to the scn file as if I distribute a scene I don't know where the user might have installed iStripper

If I have interpreted correctly.......

Let's keep it simple. Imagine there are 100 "limited" cards available. 100 people bid - 90 bid the 200 dolz minimum and 10 bid 210 Dolz (because they are keen). At this stage, all will win and pay the amount they bid (90@200 and 10@210)

Now - 10 of the original 200 Dolz bidders decide to re-bid to improve their chances. They must now bid 10% above their original bid so each of them now must bid 220 Dolz.

So we now have 10 at 220, 10 at 210 and 80 at 200.

Now 10 more new people decide to bid at 210. This gives us 110 bidders for 100 cards, so we will have 10 at 220, 20 at 210 and we will have to lose 10 of the bidders at 200 so that we have 70 at 200. How the system decides which 10 of the bidders at 200 will lose out, I do not know (maybe the most recent bidders).

So you could win by bidding the minimum amount but it is a risky ploy if you really want that card. Put in a higher initial bid to get yourself into the winning group.

I am fascinated to see it working. I will be bidding on a select set of cards that really take my fancy - a combination of the girl and the outfit.

If he posted that he did not post it where everyone can see it.

I guess this is where we are at.

Announcements by the team are made on Discord.
The team, May or may not duplicated them here on the forum.

So If you want to be up to date, on all the new info Use Discord.
Otherwise, you might not get the information, or you will get it 2nd Hand from another member.

You can get a high capacity normal HDD. These are basically just videos you're watching, so it doesn't require much speed.

@Socialhazard Tks for da kind words. Appreciated as always 😊

My custom skin color in the header text actually doesn't work in .516 so I switched back .514 for now. I only just modified it yesterday so I will be sad if it doesn't work moving forward.

That was the issue in .514 Theu used the wrong pallete value.
the correct pallet value is now being used in .516

so if you changed it to work in .514, it will not work in .516.

My name is Marc, I used a picture of my character from Kelly's Heroes, Oddball as my avater. I am working on a novel about a young girl who meets a witch and a few others on her journey to self discovery. I might take a look around this forum, but yeah this is me. See you around.

Also, Guillaume just posted

If he posted that he did not post it where everyone can see it.

For quite a few of us posting on Discord is completely useless.

Please can someone from Totem provide some information here clarifying just what is the current status of this latest release.

They want to be sure it is easy to set up a new account, that's what is being tested.

Just how do you think they will know how easy new users find it to set up a new account if those new users do not know that they are taking part in a test and have no reason to provide any feedback ?

@EverthangForever

Nice work on the latest. Also, I noticed the "NIS" in the corner now.

My custom skin color in the header text actually doesn't work in .516 so I switched back .514 for now. I only just modified it yesterday so I will be sad if it doesn't work moving forward. I was just getting used to it even if it is a little weird. I have green text, red for cursor hover over text, and cream for selected. Oh well. 😕 😄

Unless Each Biders Bid is Separate, and to Increase your Own bid, it must be 10% higher then your previous Bid.
Then that Moves you up or down the current list of High Bidders?

Perhaps that is more how it will work?

I don't think that it works that way, as I understand it you bid for every card seperately, so you can just outbid the last in the row and don't have to outbid the highest bid.

If that were the case, then every bid after the 1st bid would all be the same.
Till All the cards are sold.

for 1000 cards,
one bid of the minimum, followed by 999 bids of Minimum plus 10%

I think the 10% increase per Bid is Much too High !!
for a Legendary card,
by the 200th card / Bid, it will cost 20000 Dolz or $200 at the current DOLZ price.

Also, Guillaume just posted that "Dunno where that topic was raised, but this version also fixes 2 small bugs: the skin color in the header texts and the infinite loading splashscreen. If you need to have the corrections, feel free to get it from the website or from the update check in the settings"

Increase each Bid by 10% of the 1st Bid.

I think the 10% increase per Bid is Much too High !!
for a Legendary card,
by the 200th card / Bid, it will cost 20000 Dolz or $200 at the current DOLZ price.

A bid Increase of 1% or 2% per bid is more likely to create More bidding.

For a Limited edition card,
By the 1000th card / Bid it is 20180 Dolz or $202 at the current DOLZ price

10% per bid increase is just way to high !

The full screen scene info box can contain html links 👍I've been using this to link some of my scenes back to their Shadertoy page, which has been a big time-saver for debugging.

All the shared Fractal Garden shader conversions contain provenance links in their .fsh code comments if people are looking for them. For shared work, I prefer this rather than it being displayed openly on the iStripper player scene caption no matter how convenient that is for use at home.

What do you folks think would be a reasonable offer for Sia Siberia's NFT ?There doesn't seem to be a lot of trading going on at the moment for the other cards on OpenSea with prices varying quite a lot. I'd love to see a nice liquid market with low trading costs.

You are asking people to show their hand up front - anybody serious about buying the card will not do that.

If you go to the Dolz.IO site you will see the following

What is the minimum bidding amount per rarity level to obtain a trading card?
Legendary: 1000 DOLZ
Epic: 400 DOLZ
Rare: 300 DOLZ
Limited: 200 DOLZ

What we do not know yet is how many cards will be released at each level.

Apparently .516 has some changes to setting up a new account that they wanted to test- and that only works well with new users.

I don't buy it. By far the biggest problem that I am aware of with "setting up a new account" was with existing users who are updating or reinstalling iStripper accidentally clicking on the "new account" option when the setup program starts. I very much hope that that particular wart has been addressed.

If new users have never seen the old version how can they be expected to know if the new version is an improvement or not? So how are they expected to be able to provide meaningful feedback? Come to that how are they supposed to know that any such feedback is wanted?

Apparently .516 has some changes to setting up a new account that they wanted to test- and that only works well with new users. That's why they did not enable auto-update on that build for the rest of us. And also why it's on the web site for new users.

Was it even released? Thre's not a lot of interest in trading those cards at all, is there?

EDIT: I saw it's slated for release next week.

Anything above a few bucks is too much, IMO.

@Wyldanimal

You said something similar 514 - which then turned out to be a beta.

In my opinion If 516 is not a beta then there really ought to have been an offical announcement of that fact by Totem. Leaving it as an almost invisible option for existing users unless you go looking for it is silly.

As far as I can remember Totem did very visibly make an announcemeny for all previous official releases.

The Team needs to get feedback from New Members

The team also needs to get feedback from old users, including those that avoid using beta versions of software. In my opinion feedback from existing users is rather more important than feedback from new users who have nothing to directly compare the new version with.

It is still not entirely clear to me whether 516 is a beta or not (though I lean toward "not").

@Calgon

The full screen scene info box can contain html links 👍I've been using this to link some of my scenes back to their Shadertoy page, which has been a big time-saver for debugging.
For a different project, I want to link to an html file in a scene sub-folder rather than a web address but not sure how to address this. Anyone have any ideas ?

This html syntax works for me:

<a href="file:///C:/PATH/FILENAME">LINK TEXT</a>

V 516 is targeted at NEW signups.
There was no Automatic update from 514 to 516 for this reason.
The Team needs to get feedback from New Members
so this is the reason that 516 is the Download from the Main Page.

@cfrec2

I don't know about that Uniporn banner, but the other one is still available here:

https://www.istripper.com/img/newspromo/melena_oil.jpg?3

@Calgon - In Firefox I use this as my home page

file:///C:/Users/Public/Public%20Accessories/Internet/FireFox-bookmarks-as-start-page.html

and have used similar links to browse folders on my PC.

So I would have expected using the file: protocol like that instead of the http: or https: protocol would work - but it didn't when I tried it in an iStripper fullscreen scene link.

Maybe it's necessary to treat forward slashes in the flename as special characters.
