Discord: one step closer to you

SkyPrivate launched the Discord support channel

 

We know how much you enjoy using Discord and we are totally on the same side with you – Discord is awesome!
As of this month, we invite you on our Discord channel to chat and maybe do business together. This is another chance to build amazing relationships.

 

Why Discord?

Actually, the idea of a dedicated SkyPrivate Discord server came from you, our users.
Discord is easy to use, we know you are familiar with the application and you can get in touch with the support team no matter what dilemma/problem/suggestion/business opportunity you may have.

 

How do we connect on Discord?

It’s simple, you have just 2 steps to follow:
1. Get on the link https://discord.gg/7vcHQAG and create an account if you don’t have already one;
2. Once you will be on the SkyPrivate Discord server, you will receive a message with the necessary details about the server’s rules of engagement and where you can go to look for support: billing, account verification or even suggestions and discussions about possible collaborations.

 

What happens to other communication channels?

We will continue to respond to your emails and Skype chat requests. We’re only taking a step closer to you through Discord.
Go on, tell us what you think about this, below!

FirstChoicePay status at SkyPrivate

There are rumors spreading wider and wider regarding FirstChoice Pay ceasing its services starting today. By the time you read this article, most likely these rumors would have turned into certainty.

This is the general situation, as we gathered from several sources:

  1. As of today, April 10th, 2018, FirstChoicePay is ceasing its services. That is because Choice Bank, the issuing bank of prepaid FCP cards is ceasing its services as well.
  2. As far as we know, the balance on your card is still available for your usage whether you want to withdraw cash at an ATM to go shopping in a store.
  3. We were informed that the balance in your account will be returned to its original source – the company/website paying you.
  4. FCP (FirstChoice Pay) card can’t be loaded anymore and FCP wallets can’t receive payments from companies from the adult industry, like us
  5. The public information is that Paxum cards are issued by the same Choice Bank so this means that the same terms and issues could apply to these cards too. However, the Paxum Wallet should not pose any issues.

To clarify, at SkyPrivate:

FCP has been disabled as a withdraw option in our system.

If your FCP withdraw has been processed but you did not manage to load the money to the card, the funds are returning to us and we will soon credit your SkyPrivate account back too so that you can withdraw it using an alternative method. Rest assured your money is safe with us.

We recommend using the following alternatives:

USA residents

1. Bank deposit via ACH
Fee: $5 | minimum $100 – maximum $3000 per transaction | 3 business days to reach your account

2.International bank transfer (SWIFT)
Fee: $50 | minimum $2000 | 3 – 5 business days to reach your account

3.Bitcoin
Fee: $0.00 (network fee is paid by SkyPrivate) | instant load

non-USA residents

1.ePayments wallet – EUR payout only
Fee: 0.0 $ | instant load

2.International bank transfer (SWIFT) in USD
Fee: $50 | minimum $2000 | 3 – 5 business days to reach your account

3.Bitcoin
Fee: $0.00 (network fee is paid by SkyPrivate) | instant load

4.European bank transfer (SEPA) in EUR
Fee: $0 | minimum $100 per transaction ( 2 business days to reach your account )

5.Paxum Wallet
Fee: $2 | instant load | If you do not have Paxum account register here

What are we going to do in the next 24 – 48h?

  • Credit your SkyPrivate account back with the amount FCP did not manage to load to your FCP card so that you can withdraw it using another method (after the amount is returned to our FCP business account)
  • Gather all useful information we find on this topic in this blog post
  • Get back to you with a follow-up email indicating all the alternative payout options we can offer you so that you can withdraw your money

Skype banning accounts because of SESTA? How to protect your account with Skyprivate

Update #2 May 2nd 2018:

Update #1 April 27th 2018:

Short update about what you need to know related to SESTA and Skyprivate business:

SkyPrivate is not an U.S. company and SESTA will not influence the platform we built for web cam models. Skyprivate will always be adult friendly! Skype only updated its terms of use to add “no offensive language allowed” starting May 1st 2018. The “no pornography” article was in their terms for years, so not this is the big change they added as many models believed. Now more then ever we really believe that using Skyprivate to manage the income for skype shows, having a backup of the paying customers and their spending with you, will protect your professional activity as a cam girl.

For extra back-up against having your skype account banned and losing the contacts, read a detailed post below:

 

Original post:

Everybody that is using Skype for personal and professional activities is now interested if Microsoft/Skype will start banning their account if you do any sexy video calls.

We are trying to assure you that if you prepare yourself a bit, you can stay safe and not be affected. We start by explaining the context but if you just want to skip to the part of how you can protect your Skype account and your list of Skyprivate customers – go to the last paragrah.

 

 

  • Why Skype and many other major services like Reddit and CraigList are now banning anything that is related to legal “adult entertainment”?

Because of SESTA.  Because U.S.A. politicians, in their attempt of controlling sex trafficking (that is something illegal) created  collateral damage for the legal acting adult-industry businesses and any american user-generated online platform like Reddit and Craiglist.

Because now any american website has a liability for ALL the content that is found on its servers. This means that if somebody uploads a content that is illegal (minors, sex trafficking, etc) on Google Drive; now Google Drive is exposed to a very big legal risk; and not just the person that posted that content online.

To protect their own businesses you can see 2 types of reactions:

  • some companies just closed down their entire services/categories used by individuals (like CraigList did for example) or
  • updated their TOS (terms of usage of the service) to allow them to INVESTIGATE and then BAN the account holder and his content.

 

  • What did Microsoft/Skype say and what will they do?

Microsoft/Skype reaction was to update their own ToS: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement/upcoming.aspx

What they did was to modify the terms so that they have the right to investigate your account and content when you are flagged (by other users or algorithms – maybe).  In an interview by The Register A Redmond spokesperson sent the following answer:

We are committed to providing our customers with safe and secure experiences while using our services. The recent changes to the Microsoft Service Agreement’s Code of Conduct provide transparency on how we respond to customer reports of inappropriate public content.

The keywords here are : “customer reports” and “public content”.

 

  • What Microsoft/Skype can technically do and how does this influence the work of Skype cam-girls?

We expect that Skype will add new methods for its own users to report other Skype users. We know that Skype video/audio calls & text are encrypted but not yet end-to-end encrypted. This means that people can not access the content of your video/audio call but Skype can investigate and find on its servers when and for how long you had skype calls with another users. And until end-to-end encryption will be available by default, Skype can access a skype video/audio conversation if they start to “listen” from the start of the call (this means that you were reported and they are listening to you in particular. We assume.). We also expect Skype – considering the NSA scandal from the past –  not to start to record billions of skype to skype call-hours on its servers, because technically and business wise  this does not make sense.

In a nutshell this means that we do not expect many things to change for Skype and its users – technically. Just that they are covering themselves legally and upgrading the reporting mechanism.

 

 

  • How can you protect your Skype related cam-girl business? What can you do ?

Before May 1st nobody can predict how Skype platform will react and what will be the impact of any new change. But if you are a Skyprivate.com cam girl that is building a strong business using Skype you have at least the following back-up for the worst case scenario if you get your Skype account banned:

  1. be sure you have a skyprivate.com account if you are not registered already – because all the payments, transactions and history of your calls with paying customers are saved on our own servers and Skype can not delete/ban this information. We are not an american company and we are adult friendly.
  2. be sure that from time to time you also do a back-up of all your own skype contacts. you can see a tutorial about exporting your skype contacts here. The list of the contacts can be imported in any new skype account you want to create in the future.
  3. even if you skipped step no. 2 above, in the worst case scenario where your skype account gets banned by being reported, you can create new skype account and then change your username (Skype ID) in your Skyprivate account
  4. as an extra safety measure you should set in your Skyprivate account to not have your Skype ID publicly displayed in your profile. This way, only members that are premium and have credits can see your skype ID. This translates in lower chances in having your skype ID reported by freeloaders to Skype.

 

In conclusion we say to all our models that use skype for live-camming:

Do not worry too much about the new Skype terms if you keep doing legal activity, if you do not share your skype ID all over the internet publicly, if you do a back-up of your contacts and if you’re using Skyprivate for billing.

We at Skyprivate, do not expect many things to change for Skype and its users – technically. Just that they are covering themselves legally and upgrading the reporting mechanism.

 

 

We will update this article after May 1st with any developments about this matter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Skype, new Skype Translator

Chances are you’ve used Skype Translator at least once.

SkyPrivate models benefit from this useful perk when it comes to interacting with members that do not speak languages that they know.

Recently Skype did a couple of changes to its interface and launched a new version. We tried to play with the translator and noticed it works a bit different than in the previous version.

In the previous version, as instructed in the Skype support section, you would simply activate it.

Now, you would have to add it to your conversation, as if it were another Skype user, the Translator. This leads to the creation of a new, dedicated chat room with the users in the first one and the translator. We know, it might be a bit annoying to do that but it works well. However, we rely more on the text chat version for now,.

We did a small tutorial for you to follow if you want to activate Skype Translator in the new Skype. Let us know if you have any questions.
