25mm long catheter is just enough for me, so I do not dare to pull farther. And apparently, I'm getting use to this cage. Almost no chaffing anymore, and if I do not do any weird moves or bends, the catheter does not bother me.
Already enrolled again in two apps: QIUI and Lockink. (I have two key pods - so, one key goes to QIUI, another one to Lockink). This time, I set up "active immediately" for Lockink, let's see if this is the culprit. Though, my vote application is not yet approved by the mods.
Fun!

Properly received 7h 20 minutes for QIUI (while I was sleeping, caged). The time on the key pod properly extended automatically.
Lockink - I'm not sure what actually happened. I got 2 hours from the voters, though I'm not sure if the time increased and when.
What I discovered is that Lockink operates in a different time zone - CET +7 (compared the App logs). And moderators are off during the night in China, so plan accordingly.
In my new test, I entered deadline as Jan 30 @16:00. So, I should get some extra hours at 09:00 in NL. The post was approved very quickly, and I already have 3 votes.
Another possible Lockink bug is related to the "forced unlocking". 2 such unlocks per months are allowed without punishments, for the 3d time the punishment is 1 day, 4th - 3 days, etc.
I "forcefully" unlocked once, while the pod was connected (I added the negative funnel to the catheter part), and, a couple more times, when it was not connected. And the logs show me, that this month I unlocked 4 times already. Will try to do the "forced unlock" again. Let's see if it works...

I unlocked ahead of time again and again. Still no "punishment". What's the point, then? Need to check if QIUI works as advertised.
Edit: contacted customer support. Let's see if it brings anything.

Another thing - apparently, the Lockink Geo-location feature works only in China...
Locking and QIUI have different implementation of the random timer.
In QIUI you assign 8 values (x days and/or y hours and or z minutes) to 8 boxes, and QIUI chooses one box for you.
In Lockink you specify the minimum and the maximum amount of days/hours/minutes, and Lockinl chooses a value from this range.
Aha ... QIUI understands punishments like the following: if you opened "forcefully" (before the timer is expired) twice, it will not allow to LOCK again during 1 day! Their logic is - if you use emergency release too often, you can not estimate your abilities, and need time to rethink them.
This is great, but it defies the "inescapable bondage" idea....
I could not set up a new timer in QIUI with the following error: "Within the first time limit" (the reasons are above),. But the keys got locked by the referendum decision! 😂
I received 555 (!) minutes in total (37 votes) or 8 h 45 min.
But again, if I can unlock it at any time.... What's the point?
This is what I received from Lockink:
Lockink Wrote:The system allows forced unbinding of the owner, forced cancellation of timers, and forced operations. The first two forced operations incur no penalty. Starting from the third forced operation, a penalty period is applied: the first penalty is 1 day, the fourth is 3 days, and the fifth is 7 days. During the penalty period, forced operations are disabled and will only resume after the penalty expires.
Yes, this my understanding as well, but this is not working.
Guess what? The Lockink customer support is brilliant! They responded in the app and fixed the "forced unlocking" issue! They remotely reset/unbound the devices. When I connected them back, I could forcefully unlock only 3 times, for the 4th one I have to wait for one day (or until the timer expires)!
Brilliant! Now Lockink has a huge advantage over QIUI!
