Josephine Jackson might be right up your alley, sir.

@Williammeke

If your PC has the performance to do all the Scaling of the clips, then it should be fine.

But if you don't have a powerful PC, and you are Downloading 4K clips to Play on a 1080p Screen.
The Software must ReSize Every Frame to fit your Screen. That takes Lots of CPU power.

It's always Best to Download the Clip size that Best Fits your Screen to Maximize Performance.

One Common issue with Down Sizing the Clips is Stuttering Sound.
If you are playing a Clip with Sound, and you Notice the Sound is Stuttering...
Then It probably Means your PC is Struggling to do both, Resize the Clip, Keep up the frame rate, and play the sounds.

The Premium Membership, Unlocks the 4K size, But that Does not Mean you MUST use the 4K size.
Use the Size that Performs Best for your Computer Hardware.

You will still get all the other perks that come with the Premium Membership.
For members who Buy all the cards.
It's a good Deal..

Many XXX Cards again...😒😒😒

Would be great if a filter existed for thickness. Favorite has got to be Katrina Moreno!! Chloe Lamoure, Kyra Hot, and Nekane are the thick ladies I got. Any other suggestions?

@d00bies
I just wish they would stop putting cards that we can not just buy behind those games. Or at least give us another way to buy those Joker cards, so the people who don't have time to waste can just get it and go.

I wish we could buy those Joker cards for 2x or even 3x the price of normal card just so I don't have to waste my time playing these chance games that have been coming up as of late. I just want to grab and go time is money people... ^_^

To be clear,
I don't play the **** scratch game more than one time (10 credit what a sell!!!)
(or maybe use free credits from reload event once... not sure i did). So I was lucky in my unluck, BUT no **** put 600 credit on the table for an event EVER.

"OMG, this one guy payed 600 credits to get one card LMAO".
Not ready to do that EVER or this is what premium is

"oh yeah i can buy one card whatever card it is but...but... cost me 600 credit (59$)"
No way I gonna do that, if premium stay as it is...

No place for 4K show on my hard drive, and if had, no screen to play it so double *****...
"You get a little crown next to your name..."
XD LOL
the best answer to the question so far

@Williammeke: The 4K Card will run smoothly depending on the base hardware independent of the type of monitor. In my case, both Mac 2012 (2VRAM - 8 RAM - SSD - 1080p) and Mac 2018 (4 VRAM - 16 RAM - SSD - 5K) run smoothly.
In 1080p the behavior is quite good.

You can update the Cards as follows:

• Check that you have the latest version of iStripper installed
• Touch a CRISTAL PLUS + Card and in resolution you tell it to go down to 4K, if the option does not appear, vote the CARD and reload it.

I leave you a test with video display at 1080p

Jenny Wild / 1080p Test Resolution

60 is too expensive

@Williammeke

If you already have the show in whatever resolution and want to upgrade to 4k then select that show from your 'my collection', click the resolution drop down on the card page, select 4k (if that option exists) and click ok.

The card will start to download in 4k.

If you want to get all the available 4k cards updated then in 'my collection' select "selected resolutions" and select 4k from the drop down. Shift + click all the listed cards, select 4k again at the top and then click the check mark to start downloading them all. Unless you have a real fast internet connection be prepared to wait a while...

4k cards are roughly a half gigabyte larger than the same show in 3k.

How they play on your machine depends on a lot of things such as, but not limited to: processor and memory capacity/loading and what programs are running in the background when you play them.

Also if you are watching them on a 1080p monitor I have my doubts that you will notice much difference from 3k but your machine will work harder to play them which may result in some stuttering during playback if your machine is heavily loaded or has limited resources or both.

Let's get down to brass tacks, though... As an *****, I have to have each and every card. When we get right down to it, I purchased a Premium subscription in order to obtain Skye Blue's Special Event Card. I strongly feel that those of us who have ponied up for this Premium subscription should be entitled to buy future Special Event Cards outright rather than being made to go through bullshit hoops and obstacles to obtain them. Can you please make this happen, Totem?

Thank you...
I can't see them giving up their primary way of milking ***** like yourself, some of you payed hundreds and hundreds of credits to get 1 card in the scratch card event. From a customer relations standpoint that was super bad (forum posts said it all), but from a fincial standpoint they were laughing all the way to the bank. "OMG, this one guy payed 600 credits to get one card LMAO".

This is a buisness after all...

They just gave you $40 cash...if you buy 365 cards a year. You save 27.5c per card. That is exactly $100 a year that you will save just with the 20% discount. 100-59 for the deal and you just made $41. Totem just gave $41 or 37 free future 4k cards for free! What a deal!

I am happy!!

I must recognize it in an open and public way, those who have doubts, do not have them since the membership is worth 100%
You acquire a Joker (Collectors will thank you and have the Card they couldn't have) 20% Additional Dscto in Downloads, very attractive and somehow you save quite progressively The Card Cristal Plus +. that they already had You can upgrade to 4K at no additional cost. Better resolution Those who have 1080p screens will like this because if a 200% model is scaled (you can even reach 400% with an acceptable resampling), which allows you to appreciate more "detail" of faces and other areas. Those with 4-5K screens will be very grateful.
My judgment on this is pure and objective since I do not work on this and I have no vested interests either. It is the appreciation of a current user.

This captivated me again and I congratulate the Team for that.

I did a video test for you to judge (Be 1080p or 4K users)

https://youtu.be/889O38ZbEko

Note: When making this note, the 4K option has not been finished processing on YouTube, you should enable it automatically in the next 2 hours.

1) When updating the Crystal Clear+ quality shows to 4K resolution and playing on 1080 monitors, will these shows be as fluently as they were before (but more crisp)?
2) How to update to 4K?

It will be a repository for descriptions of shows for people to look at, for XXX content in particular.

can not get Francys Belle f0516 and The Red Fox f0523 to complete. Both keeps aborting. All others have completed and finished.

I have the same problem. I've deleted both the data and model folders folders for the two card and still can not download these cards.

Pay 59$ only to reduce prices such of a nonsens
(no credits, one free card, and still have pay 4/5 of the price on any card I want weekly)
If the premium was accompanied by credits, there would be no problem, but it's not...

Ok, I put rougthly 200$ a year but add an extra 59$ with any credits in the premium to make that 200 become a 219 (200+59-40), I'm out of my annual budget this, for what ?

Plus for optimizing disk space I DON'T download show in 3K EVER, why should I pay to buy 4K which is way much heavy then 1080p show I'm used to take?

Give me just one good reason to by that?
You just argued that a 20% discount with 4k and a free special card is not a huge discount but paying 29% is a great sacrifice. Which is it? If you pay $239 a year the premium will be paid for...so it looks like you are going to come out head by $20...plus 4k.

He doesn't even download 3k so why would he be bothered with 4k?

The price reduction is a good reward for those that buy most if not all the cards on release day or shortly after and get left out of so many tgif offers because of their buying habits so i'm all for that. But for picky buyers it's a bad deal (can just wait for the buy 4 for 3 deal and get 25% offl) so the only real draw is the 4k and placing it behind a paywall is a just ... well ... smh

The Premium purchase seemed like a no-brainer for me and my situation. I buy every card on the day it is released because I am an *****. Here is a breakdown of the math for a Triple Diamond member who purchases the maximum promo credit package (typically 600 credits for $49.99 USD) and who purchases every card upon its release or very shortly thereafter (somewhere in the neighborhood of about 100 of us):

At Triple Diamond level each card is 13.75 credits. If you purchase credits at the full price of 500 for $49.99 USD that comes to $1.375 per card. If you purchase credits during promo periods in packets of 600 credits for $49.99 USD that comes to $1.146 per card. 365 cards in a year at this cost would add up to $418.15 USD.

With the additional 20% savings provided by the new Premium status, each new card should be 11.00 credits for Triple Diamond members. This translates to $0.916 USD in real cost per card when credits are purchased in packets of 600 for $49.99 USD during promo periods. 365 cards in a year at this cost would add up to $334.52 USD. Add $59.99 for the cost of the Premium subscription and your total is $394.51.

So my savings is $23.64 USD for the year. Yeah, that's not much of a savings over time but it IS a savings! And that's not even factoring in the 20% discount on VR videos - you betchyer ass I buy all of those, too! I still have a 1080 monitor and don't download cards in any higher resolution than that but it's nice to know that I will have the ability to download all of the applicable cards to the highest available resolution if I do ever upgrade my hardware. It has been extremely rare that I have raised issues with the support team but it is also nice to know that I would theoretically receive priority handling as a Premium subscriber.

@pumpdude48, thanks. I'll do that now.

oh, lol. Yay...

I also got no premium skin.

@boan000

I answered your other post.

You need to update to 1.2.2.38 first to get the proper pricing to display.

I subscribed to premium and am not getting my 20% discount on any cards. I have not bought any of the new releases so they sould all be discounted from the past ten days. I synched and restarted - even rebuilt. Nothing. Can a Totem team member help please?

(no credits, one free card, and still have to pay 4/5 of the price on any card I want weekly to keep the discount).

@boan000

Edit: you have to have the latest version of the software 1.2.2.38

Update that first and then:

Completely close the iStripper app and restart it. (just the app, not your computer)

That should get your new pricing to show up.

OK, I bought a premium subscription and got the joker card for a free card, but none of the 20% discounts are showing up, and I haven't bought any of the past ten days'new releases. Can somebody on the Totem team help please?

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering - your EFFECTIVE discount over a YEAR is about 8% once you take into account the extra $59 you're paying - ASSUMING you purchase EVERY card for a YEAR.

Your "discount" will be MUCH LESS than that if you don't buy all the cards, or indeed could be negative unless you plan to buy over 215 cards in the next year (about 20 cards a month).

So, not really that much benefit for the customer - but a lot of "Free Money" for Totem.

Be informed about your purchases.

HEYdude thanks for responding minora lips im looking for

OK, I folded. I bought your damned PREMIUM membership, but only because I figured:

1. I buy every card anyway, so I'm no WORSE off for the next 5-6 months
2. I wanted the Skye Blue card, and the only way to get it is a JOKER (included)
3. After 5-6 months, I will start SAVING money / credits - a total of about $40/yr

I still think the deal stinks for most people, and I really think that Totem should go with something much simpler than all this JOKER card and PREMIUM stuff.

Just reward people for being loyal, and updating their collection. Do away with all these scratch cards, slot machines and other silly things. Do this instead:

1. Issue a new "Monthly Exclusive" card EVERY month in addition to all the regular cards
2. Announce the exclusive card at the start of the month, but don't release it until the 15th of the month
3. Offer people the Exclusive card for FREE with any 12 or more cards purchased in that month (perhaps Talent of the Month?)
4. Once the Exclusive card expires, place it back in the store for a 30% premium after the end of the month
5. Make additional "Special Event" cards separate, and price them at a 30% premium (e.g. Halloween, Xmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, July 4, FIFA, F1, whatever) on release

This way, it would be:
1. Straightforward to obtain exclusive monthly cards, simply by being a regular purchaser
2. If you missed a month of the FREE card, or you don't like at least 12 shows, you could always purchase that card anyway
3. You could always purchase "Special Event" cards whenever you want
4. By regularly buying 12 or more cards every month, you'll get a BONUS, rather than having to pay a PREMIUM (a very different feeling for customers)
5. People who don't want to buy EVERY card are still happy, because they can always buy 12 cards they actually WANT
6. Cheaper for Totem to implement, as the discount would be 1/13 (about 7.5%), rather than the 20% discsount with PREMIUM

If Totem did this, I think lots of people would be happy with that. I also think it isn't necessarily incompatible with the other promotions - like slot machine, scratch card, etc. These could be another way to "WIN" the exclusive card instead of buying shows you don't want.

Really, it's not that hard to imagine or implement, I think. Much better thant this scheme.

Still, I now have kept my collection up to date, and I look forward to having the discounts in 5-6 months time.

You guys must be breaking Totem's servers downloading shows in 4K. I tried to "update" a couple of cards, and the update ***** in a few seconds.

I downloaded my entire collection to 4K that is available and can not get Francys Belle 0516 and The Red Fox 0523 to complete. Both keeps aborting. All others have completed and finished.

I am happy!!

I must recognize it in an open and public way, those who have doubts, do not have them since the membership is worth 100%

@Gorfa91 Thanks for the info.

Also found an answer by @Celine in another thread about this.

@2manychoices this is recurring. Please be careful to choose a payment processor you trust and that has web portal for subscription management.

@Celine Can you address the concerns of those like myself whom have collected almost every card to date on how we can obtain "Special Event" Cards?

The way this system is now, you are actually punishing your longest standing and loyal supporters. I could buy this "Premium" subscription and be able to buy this event card. What happens when you implement another Event card?

Now I have a subscription that doesn't allow for me to make a direct purchase of the desired card, I can't participate in the Loot Box/Lottery to obtain a chance at a card. This actually needs to be address and stop overlooking this issue cherry picking post to address concerned patrons.

If nothing else those above 4000 cards should be granted the ability to just buy the Special Event Cards simply due to the fact they can't participate in even obtain the cards through any available means.

Can you address this issue for us please.

I far as I can tell; nobody has answered my question from 10 hours ago. Is the subscription recurring or not? I've had problems with recurring subscriptions in the past and much prefer the one-shot transactions of buying credits. Please let me know. Thank you!

So the offer says......
"This offer gives you the following :
20% discount on the new cards during the 10 days following their release,
20% discount on VR 180° clips during the 10 days following their release,
Unlock of the 4K resolution of the Crystal Clear+ quality shows,
Priority response from the customer service,
Highlighted profile and Premium skin!
This offer is available for $59 per year"

1. Is the the 20% savings off of the platinum card pricing or the original card price. Trying to do the math. $60 would buy approx 600 credits.... How many cards would I need to but to make this proposition a value.
2. Not interested in VR content at this point. I believe the tech has years to go before it will become more mainstream.
3. OK 4K resolution, now we can see hair folicles.
4. Priority response eh.... You had to go there.. I have 6 tickets in an open status aged 8 plus months. 4000+ cards purchases. But for $59.99 you'll answer my question...

How much for downloading the pictures and videos when you purchase the model rather than having to manually download the zip, extract, copy to a folder stucture and catalog?

How much to make 1000 credit button always available so that we don't get nailed for additional transaction fees?

5. No value in a highlighted profile/skin unless you live in the forums.

So I guess it between 1 and 4 for me...

Will there be an "UBER PLATINUM PREMIUM Whip cream" offer that will let us but the Special Event Cards Plus all of these features and Even faster tech support?

The is purposely both serious is some inquiry and cheeky in other observervations....
Don't lose your mind!

@Gorfa91 I guess two different users accessing that page within 30 mins frame was too much :)

@Dfner well it is even dead now... two concurrent access => DDOS attack :-)

@Wyldanimal: It's still VERY shady.

That form (
https://secure.netbilling.com/gw/native/selfservice1.2?111830671378:ISTRIPPER) asks us to fill in at least 3 fields of information, but in the purchase event only two of them were required... email-address and card number. So no luck there. It also says that if I have forgotten my "login information" (which was not even part of payment procedure), just email address is enough. Well, entering my email address only (the same used in the purchase) creates error message "No account found based on submitted information".

Found several 1/5 star reviews of Netbilling and I can understand why.

I'm not in the process of cancelling my Premium membership, but it would be nice to know that if I wanted to, there would be an actually working way to do it. I'm sure Totem's customer support would get this sorted, if I wanted to cancel and make sure that no more billing took place, but such payment processors and their utterly disfunctional net service really irritates me.

I doubt that they would care about that as this offer is for the whales who to be fair get left out of the tgif's so it's a good deal for them (just the extra % off is a good deal for them).

Nope, we actually have a discount level so high that extra 20% discount (so price 11 cr) is assured by previews discount that shows up randomly for everybody over their usual discount level so it really does not matter for me personally. BTW I am certain they excluded newest cards from that discount so it will negligate that effect or we would purchase for 8,8 in that given moment :lol -> but then it would take really long time to cash in the difference.

Regarding 4K resolution I agree, making another step in settings makes whole lotta work somebody must do and it has to be paid but I'd rather increase a bit shows price level than this. Not everybody uses over FHD screen. Not everybody needs 4K but it should be in range for everybody at price not extra subscription. Keep in mind few years ago some users ***** about problems with 4-5 FHD shows played at once with issues on not so bad PCs. 4K will require a really really top notch PC to have smooth 7-8 shows like some used to have. Then it isn't for everybody really. Perhaps in few years with more modern machines.

Not everybody has a fancy setup like mine - where for instance I would prefer to be able to assign shows to be displayed on certain screen I assign or on set of them.

I also agree that scalling 3K to 4K is very close really - you need to put your eyes close to the graphic grade screen to notice the details sometimes ;)

Regarding amounts of data required nowadays it should be in requirements 4-8 TB 7200 rpm fast HDD to have a space for them and smooth playback so this hobby becames even more expensive :lolz

@Dfner
So, why are you still here?

That was actually Ullubu's question, not mine that you answered to - just wanting to put that straight. I already posted on this matter earlier.

@Z22 - I am almost certain that an ex-QA team member has told us that they do look at all of the resolutions.

Your distaste to Totem's business policies won't change the fact that there will be more hot models here in coming months that you can't avoid. You'll be back :)The fact is that those models can be watch on other websites in 4K, even in VR if I want and I don't have to pay extra cost if I want to download the highest resolution or be a premium member.

It is $4.92 a month. That is half a meal when you eat out. Or half a movie. Once a month. You then get 28 cents off of each new card you buy. You get a free special event card which was worth a ton of money to many people. And you get 4k forever. If you buy 18 new cards a month you make all of the money back. If you buy 14 new cards a month then you basically spend $1 per month for 4k...It is a thoughouly fair deal. An amazing deal for collectors...basically them giving money away to people who would buy all the cards anyway, and a fair deal for selectors like me. Even if you do not have a 4k monitor there are plenty of full screen scenes that play girls in a very immersive setting at 4k size so these new cards look great.

@Dfner

Yes true this is "Back to the future..." web pages of the 90's in Netscape ;-)

Usually I do not care about the payment processor with Totem because buying credits is one time purchase, but this time I sould have pay attention.

Anyway customer support is usually efficient so I do not worry :-)
