Thanks, guys!

I'd like to sincerely thank the 14 people who contributed (one who contributed twice) during my donations experiment. I'm very grateful for your support. As I said below, the experiment is now over and I'm no longer soliciting donations... you can download high-resolution and low-resolution versions of Ashton and Mia's strip rock-paper-scissors video without the donation nagging. You can also download Ashton and Mia's strip Operation game as a ZIP file, as well as Mia's interactive RPS. Feel free to distribute them to whomever you'd like. (You must be 18, legally able to own adult content, etc.)

I've learned what I set out to learn. LostBets.com will continue, but there will be no substantial updates for awhile while I build up my library of content and prepare to relaunch as a commercial venture. (As I hope I made clear, there was absolutely no quid pro quo, express or implied, for those who donated... this was necessary to comply with PayPal's policies regarding adult-oriented digital content. Nevertheless, those who were kind enough to donate may find themselves getting a few little extras along the way. If you'd rather I not send email related to LostBets.com to the address of your PayPal account, let me know at once.) Please continue to read this blog (or subscribe to the feed) to stay tuned to future updates.

  3. Hi LostBets,

    I too, would have contributed, but thanks to PayPal I had to have my CC # changed awhile back, and it shows on my credit report.

    A more secure way of billing or a P.O. Box would be preferable~

    Good luck and good wishes~

  5. Are you going to wait until the fall to start your site? I would think that would be a mistake since you currently have people's interest . Several months from now some may have forgotten.

  6. Wow, I had no idea Mia was trying out for Naked News. Wish her luck, everybody, and if you'd like to see her video and vote for her, the link is here.

    Don't worry, I won't be waiting until fall to get started. Still not entirely sure exactly what direction I'll go, but there will be something available as soon as possible.

  7. I really like the way you are developing this idea & did send you a contribution. I am looking forward to see what else you come up with and will more than likely be a regular subscriber! ;0)

    Cap'n.

  8. I'm glad you're not waiting until the fall Red. That would have been difficult to wait that long. I think it's a smart move as well.

  9. In fact, I'm currently taking a break from packing up my gear after another videography session. Got some great footage; I can't wait to import it to the computer and see how it turned out. I don't want to go commercial until I have a wide and deep inventory of content, but today I'm one step closer. Another session or two and I'll be there.
