A plain guide to the HUD: what the money question means, and how clients, dancers and club owners use it.
Don't worry: we are not taking money from you. Saying yes only lets you pay from the HUD when you choose to, and it is how you confirm that you agree to a payment.
When you first wear the HUD, Second Life shows a box asking whether this object may take Linden dollars from you. It looks alarming, but it is the standard box Second Life shows for anything that can pay on your behalf.
The HUD needs it for one reason: when you choose to pay a dancer, your own HUD sends the dancer their share and the club its share at the same moment. Nobody holds your money in between.
It only ever pays when you ask it to. Every payment first shows a confirm screen on the HUD with the exact amount and who receives it, and nothing is sent unless you tap Pay. If you never buy or tip, not a single L$ leaves your account. You can switch that confirm step off in the HUD's Settings if you prefer one tap.
The one exception is Keep going. When you start it, the HUD tells you it pays the same amount again every minute, and it carries on until you press End or your balance runs out.
You can say No to the first box. Everything that is free still works: free play, friends, the dancer side and the club owner side. The HUD asks again only when you try to pay for something.
Wear the HUD. It finds the club you are standing in by itself and shows three choices: I'm a Dancer, I'm a Client, and Club owner. Friends is underneath.
The three buttons at the top right are Friends (it shows a number when someone is waiting for your answer), Language (the globe) and Settings, where you change the size of the HUD, move it to a corner, refresh it or hide it.
If a screen is longer than the phone, tap the up and down arrows under it, or drag the page with your pointer.
Choose I'm a Client and pick a dancer from the list. Her page shows the tip buttons, the club's menu and, if she offers it, toy control by time. Pick one, tap Pay on the HUD, and it starts.
For toy control the dancer has to accept first, and her toy is checked before you are charged. You then see your time counting down. STOP silences the toy at once and End finishes the session.
If the HUD says you do not have enough L$, nothing was paid. Add L$ to your balance and try again. Changed your mind? Every payment screen has Cancel.
Choose I'm a Dancer at the club you want to dance at and tap Ask to dance here. Write a few lines about yourself. When the owner accepts, your dancer screen opens by itself.
Your HUD starts as a tip jar: tap Clock in on Home and clients can tip you and buy from the club's menu, with big tip buttons on your page. No toy needed.
Want toy control too? Slide the small Lovense switch next to I'm a Dancer to ON (it is also on Home), then open the Toy tab and scan the QR code with the Lovense Remote app. Requests appear at the top: Accept or Decline.
You are paid straight away: your share of every payment arrives the moment the client pays, and Home shows who paid, who is with you now and how long they have left. Free play lets clients control your toy without paying while you are on shift.
Lovense is off until you switch it on: slide the small Lovense switch next to I'm a Dancer to ON. Then link your toy once: open the Toy tab and scan the QR code with the Lovense Remote app on your phone. The HUD shows the toy's name when it is connected.
Clock in on Home and clients at the club can pay to control it. Switch on Free play to let them play without paying, or slide Lovense back to OFF to take tips only.
Every person has to ask first. The request shows at the top of your HUD: Accept or Decline. Open Friends to see who has control now, take it back with Revoke, or Ban someone.
For friends only: switch on Friends off shift and choose one friend, some friends or all of them. They can then reach your toy while you are clocked off, as long as you wear the HUD.
Those friends play for free and find you as Friends only, also in the club's dancer list. On a club's land, that club's owner decides whether toy control is open while you are off shift; if not, the toy buttons are greyed there and friends can still tip you. Anywhere else it is open.
Open your club at a NOXEN Subscription Terminal. Touch it for a 14-day free trial on Starter, once per avatar (your Second Life account needs payment info on file and to be at least 30 days old), or right-click it and pay a plan: Starter up to 5 dancers L$1,800, Club up to 10 L$3,500, Venue up to 20 L$6,500 a month. Before the trial ends, pay a plan at any terminal to keep your club.
Stand in your club, open Club owner in the HUD and tap My club is where I am standing now. From then on everyone standing on that land gets your club in their HUD.
On the club page you set the price per minute, each dancer's cut, your menu of services, the tip amounts and the landing point where visitors arrive. Every payment is split on the spot: the dancer gets their cut and you get the rest.
People who ask to dance at your club show in the HUD under Club owner, with what they wrote. Accept or decline there. Your dancers are listed below with their settings.
Your land, your rule: a dancer who is off shift can let her friends control her toy. Under Club owner (or on the club page, Services) switch Friends may control an off-shift dancer's toy on your land Off, and on your land toy control is only open on shift. Tips and the menu always work.
You have your own one-person plan: L$750 a month at a NOXEN terminal. On its screen pick DJ / Singer, Host or Dancer and how long (6 months 5% off, 12 months 10% off), then right-click the terminal and pay the total it shows.
Want to try it first? Touch the terminal and choose DJ/Host trial: 15 days free, once per avatar (your Second Life account needs payment info on file and to be at least 30 days old). Before they end, pay at any terminal to stay live.
In the HUD choose I'm a DJ / Singer, I'm a Host, or I'm a Dancer and then Dance on my own. Write a short line under your name about tonight (up to 80 characters) and tap Live here: everyone with the HUD in this region sees you and can tip you. On your own, every tip is yours.
A club can invite you. Accept in your HUD and you show as Works here at that club; tips given there are shared, you keep the share the owner set for DJs, hosts or just you. Your Home shows tips today, who tipped you and your top tippers with the crown.
You run yourself from your Home: your own menu (up to 8 services, with your call link), your tip buttons, and as a dancer on your own Lovense toy control at your own price per minute. Clients see all of it on your page.
Share with partners: up to 3 people get a part of what you get (all together up to 90%), every time you are paid. The client's HUD pays them at the same moment; at a club, the club takes its share first.
Your own web page: your Home shows your code and lets you set a password. Log in with both at clubs.noxensl.com/me to change everything there too and see your sales of the last 30 days.
Dancers choose I'm a Dancer: with a club's code, by asking the club you stand in, or on your own. At a club you dance under its plan; leave it in your Account tab and you go on your own with your own plan. Already registered? The HUD takes you straight to the right screen.
Open Friends with the button at the top of the HUD. Add someone from a dancer's page, from the list of people nearby who wear the HUD, or with their Second Life key. They get a request in their HUD and can add you back. Your list shows each one as Pending or Accepted.
Your friend list shows where each dancer works and whether they are on shift. Tap a dancer to tip or play from anywhere, or press Teleport to go to their club. Remove or ban anyone; a banned person cannot pay you or add you.
Dancers can stay reachable for friends while clocked off: one friend, some friends or all of them. They can also share a private place so friends teleport there instead of the club.
You never have to go back or reload: when a dancer clocks in or off, switches Lovense or changes her menu, the page you are on follows within seconds. Club owners see new requests, sales and their dancers' changes the same way.
Nobody controls a toy without the owner's yes. The STOP button is always on screen during a session, for both sides. Revoke ends someone's session within seconds, and Ban keeps them from asking again.
Dancers find all of this on the Friends screen, under Who controls your toy: who is asking, who has control now, and who is banned.
NOXEN never asks for your Second Life password or your Lovense account details, and you never type payment details into the HUD.
The HUD says there is no club here: you are not on a club's land, or the owner has not set the club's location yet. Go to the club, or use Friends to reach a dancer from anywhere.
The toy stopped responding: keep Lovense Remote open on your phone and tap Reconnect my toy in Settings. You only need a new QR code if the app was closed or logged out.
The screen looks stuck or empty: open Settings and tap Refresh the screen, or take the HUD off and wear it again.
