Knowing that some models have sold videos on streamate using mediafire links, I asked about this site.

The response was

Bottom line, these two rules MUST be followed:
1. No exchange of personal information (no private emails, no #s, no
addresses)
2. Do not take the member off site

So, if you are selling pics and sending them through our mail system or
giving out direct download links for videos, that is okay. However if
either of the above rules are broken, a suspension/termination and forfeiture of earnings may occur.

What I'm getting from that, is that the member needs to be able to click the link and have the download happen automatically... so, not sure if these would fall within the rules.

I don't know if any ladies here have tried selling videos through streamate using camredeem. If you have, please let me know? Personally, I can't risk my place on streamate to try this without knowing other ladies have been successful. I'm pretty sure they'd give a warning, but I'm not entirely sure...

Ive used it several times and Streamate has not had an issue with it. No warnings or anything either.

I just had a question! I signed up here recently and have used it to send some codes, which have been redeemed now (all by "guests" so guys without registered access). This means they've downloaded the videos and I can delete the codes, right?

When I go to delete, it says "WARNING: If you delete this code it WILL revoke access to it's files from guest!" -- that just means they can't redownload, right? Just want to make sure!
 
This looks awesome! I've done business online for quite a while and for my non-adult stuff I always used Pulleyapp.com which is AMAZING but they only work with paypal so that is a no-no for camming. I've wished for something like that for my videos for years!

I'll go check it out!
 
Okay, so I just did the whole shebang to try it out and I like it, its very simple and I cant tell you have thought about the details for a long time.

I have a question regarding the tickets: once you start charging for the service, the only way to use your site will be stocking up on tickets? or will there be a flat rate as well? I am currently paying around 40 dollars a month on the site that hosts my videos, and I wouldn't have a problem paying for a similar fare for camredeem because I like the system. However, it would be quite bothersome to go ticketwise, even if it might be cheaper. It's just the whole idea of buying them over and over again that is annoying. Maybe you can do a 1-click-buy button type of thing like Amazon? I can't imagine pulling out my card every time.
 
How i can have more space for photos and videos?
 
Hi, mired. Do you know yet what the different price options will be (I remember you said the cheapest bundle will probably be $5)? I know we have about a week left of this free trial period, and I plan on paying for one of the price bundles when the time comes.

I signed up under the trial, didn't seem to work though.

Edit: Made another account, that one worked. Not sure why the first one didn't. Didn't even let me activate the first try. Weird.
 
Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to post a quick note about charging on CamRedeem. For the past month we have been undertaking a ground-up redesign of the site that will streamline the look and feel as well as improve a lot of functionality. In light of the fact that we are probably a few months out from completing this enormous task we have decided that we will be postponing our plans to charge for the site until the redesign is complete. I will be posting on here again shortly to outline some of the improvements / changes coming with this enormous update, but I just wanted to post here quickly to alleviate any concern about needing to pay today or any day in the near future. At this time our best estimate is some time this fall. Hopefully we will complete the revamp around the end of the summer, and give it a month or so of burn-in on the live site before we flip the switch and actually start charging money.
 
Thanks so much! I am loving your site!
 
Okay, I have a question!

I used the promo code to share a video with a bunch of people (I selected up to 30 redemptions). When I logged in a couple days later, the video has gone from ~50 downloads total to 930. Do you have any idea what's up with that?
It's pretty much just a teaser video so I'm not fussed about it but damn that number was alarming to see, haha!
 
I understand that if our customers make a Camredeem account, the videos they have from us are archived for them. Does that mean I can delete them from my account or does their archive simply allow them to access them as often as they wish from MY account?

If you delete the video you will revoke access to the customers who created accounts. The idea there was that we never want the model to not have control of her content. If you delete something it is gone off our our site forever. We are however, revisiting customer accounts, and will probably be disabling this feature in our next major update. As a trade-off we will probably allow people 72 hours instead of 24 hours to download their files when they redeem as guest (the only way code redemption will be possible). We listened to e-mail feedback, weighed the pros and cons, and came to the conclusion that the very nature of our site is disposable codes rather than user accounts. If anyone here feels this change would be a mistake by all means feel free to let your opinion be known.

I love this, actually. This, and the fact that each customer gets a different link for the same video...I think it's awesome.

As a periodic redeemer, I like the site as well; I think you've done a good job and I've never had a problem getting videos from the site.

My only comment/complaint would be renaming the files. I purchased a set of videos one time from a model and ended up with a folder of <guid>.wmv files that give me no indication what the videos are about. Would be great if you would preserve the model's name for the videos in the download.

I too have been having issues with the number of downloads vs codes actually being sent out.

Have you been having it in the past week or so? We pushed an update that should have resolved the counting bug. User accounts are still able to download files more then once (until we disable them), but the differences in those cases should be negligible.

I'll reup one of my videos and see what happens when I start sending new links.
 
Last time we exchanged emails---I believe it was not possible for me to get the amount of space I needed.
I just wanted to know if this has changed at all?

I currently have 153files and increase each month.
 
Hey mired!

I don't remember if this has been addressed, and I didn't see an actual faq on your site...

If a purchaser doesn't have an account, and redeems his code, but the download is interrupted, (say, internet or power is taken out by a thunderstorm), does he get to pick the download up where it left off? Or can he redownload? Or would the model need to spend a new code for him?

I asked it earlier. The same code will work within 24 hours IF it is from the same IP address. If using a VPN and it connects from a different IP address after restarting a computer, you have to get a new code. I found out that part the hard way. I created an account after that.

Is camreedem having problems? I can't upload today. This is the first time I've had a problem and wondered if it's me or them!

(I'm hoping Cmaredeem will answer this)
 
I'm hoping this thread is still being monitored by mired. I've a question about possible future improvements that may be planned for the site.

It seems quite a few models have been using the site for video hosting now. As a member with an account created there I've amassed a few videos now from several models (around 230 videos currently). The area we have to look at the files lists each video by file name and a few possibly have a brief description, if it was entered by the model. There is no way, i've found, to look for videos specifically from 'Model A' or 'Model B.' It's simply a long continuous list of file names, many of which are named the same. As you might imagine titles like 'dildo sucking' would be used by more than one model.

So the questions I have are: will there ever be a way to sort files by model? Or sort them by date the redeem code was utilized? Also could there be a way to bulk download multiple files at once by checking more than one or all at once?

This bulk download is especially a problem. Currently if I buy say 10 videos from a model not only do i have to click to download each one individually, but at the time I do that all 10 of those are now mixed in with the full list of the rest of the videos on my account. So I have to find them in the first place, which entails specifically remembering the names of just those videos to discern them from the rest. That's where sorting by redeem date or by model would be HIGHLY desirable. If I could sort them so all of today's bought videos were at the top at least I could know which ones they were.

Just some thoughts for the members side of things.

I've been using camredeem for quite a few months now and definitely love it. I'm hoping to hear back from Mired about some of the issues though as I've been having some of the same ones (downloads that are well within size range taking hours when it takes literally maybe five minutes for the same vid uploaded to c4s).

I am not sure if it is appropriate to post this here or not, but there's no "marketplace" type forum, and it's camming related so this is the best place I can find. I hope this isn't considered "spam".

We have just started a new service called CamRedeem.

We specialize in providing a quick, easy, and safe way to send your files to the members who tip you for them. Never worry about someone sharing your link, and never have to deal with sending someone 8 links one after another when they buy all your videos.

Features

  • * Send multiple files in one link
    * All links can only be redeemed once
    * Very easy-to-use interface
    * Store 10 files (more can be requested) up to 1GB in size
    * We designed the site specifically for cam models.
    * 100% free during the beta period (at least until next year sometime)

We think the site speaks for itself when you use it, and we hope some of you will check it out.

Check us out at http://camredeem.com.

NOTE: Updates to site noted in this post later in thread viewtopic.php?p=228022#p228022

I have been using camredeem for several months now. It's pretty decent. Although the site is ugly, I like it for it's simplicity. It is the easiest file sharing site I have ever used. Atleast for videos. For some reason there is always an error when I try to add photo sets though. But I don't know if it's worth paying for. Especially since there are so many free sites that look much more professional. Now if some major improvements are made, then maybe. I can definitely say that if it's more than $0.05 per ticket, then I won't pay for it. If I can get 100 tickets for $5, then yes. Any less than that and you can eat my shit. No offense.

If it ends up costing more than 5 cents per ticket then I will go back to using opendrive. I already have 100GB of storage and unlimited file sharing with no limit on file size for 5$ a month. It's what I used before I started using the Beta stage of camredeem. More space than camredeem. Bigger file sizes than camredeem. Does everything camredeem can do and more. Right now the ONLY thing camredeem has over opendrive is utter simplicity and the fact that it's free. As soon as camredeem costs money, it loses 90% of its appeal. And if it ends up costing more than opendrive (and I sell around 100 videos a month), it definitely isn't worth it.

Ideas for improvement:
-get rid of the ugly pixelated graphics. you're trying to get young women to pay you money to host their porn. Either make it look cute or make it look boring and professional, but whatever design ideas you have going on right now don't do it for me (or anyone else here for that matter lol)
-It would be awesome if files were listed in some kind of order. alphabetical, most downloads, date added, what ever. because they show up in a very random order. It's annoying looking for a certain file the way it is.
-I don't know about this 20 file limit being mentioned, but right now I've got over 30 videos on camredeem, if a limit is implemented or i start being charged for extra file storage then I will not use camredeem.
