I've had it on but haven't noticed any earnings on my graph or balance. What happened? It was paying out consistently 2 days ago..

frigid reef
#

Is sgs-client.exe running in task manger

tight atlas
#

this is everything with s

frigid reef
tight atlas
#

i still dont see it appearing

#

hm

#

ill give salad a reinstall see if it helps

tight atlas
#

update: i am still cursed with this bug

stiff wedge
#

me too right here

#

this is the task manager

wind spear
#

me too

upbeat shuttle
#

In my experience, enabling the CPU and GPU for a few seconds (maybe up to a couple minutes) usually works, and I just disable CPU+GPU after I see sgs-client.exe in task manager

smoky mulch
#

yeah I can't see it either. Is something just flat out wrong with bandwidth sharing? I'd hope not since it's the main source of my earnings

#

I even tried opening it in file explorer

#

also I'm in the US

upbeat shuttle
#

Can you guys try having just Bandwidth sharing and GPU mining enabled, and let me know if sgs-client.exe shows up in Task Manager
If that doesn't make it show up after a couple of minutes, try having just Bandwidth sharing enabled, start Salad, and then enable GPU

I think I could maybe be onto something

#

some other helpful info would be what version of Salad you're on, if you have a compatible GPU, what region you are in (US/UK/GERM)
vpns will not work, and anything other than windows 10/11 64-bit will likely not work

smoky mulch
#

out of curiosity, is that program just used for sharing or does it also find the jobs

hollow fulcrum
thick knoll
tight atlas
#

And my broadband sharing logs straight up disappeared

#

It can't be any antivirus because salad whitelisted itself

#

Latest version, 3060

#

Also tried enabling those for like 10 minutes still nothin

frigid reef
#

At the end of the day it seems to mainly be a issue on salads end so there is nothing you can do till there is a fix, if you really want you can contact #official-support

upbeat shuttle
#

hm

#

yeah at this point I'd just recommend heading to #official-support so they know it's broken af

tight atlas
#

well i just obtained the sgs client folder manually and put it in salad workloads folder it automatically started working bruh

#

salad had an issue with automatically downloading it? bruh idk

stiff wedge
smoky mulch
#

is this not it at the top?

smoky mulch
tight atlas
#

You have it

#

If SGS client still isn't starting that's a different issue

#

In the end it's probably linked to the same problem salad has with detecting/downloading the bandwidth test

smoky mulch
#

is there any way I can force it to start?

umbral nest
#

no

tight atlas
#

yes but you need to open the exe with specific arguments which i do not know of, the only way really get it to work is by enabling gpu in salad for a few seconds which usually tricks the bandwidth miner into starting

upbeat shuttle
#

those arguments can be found in your logs..
which are shown once it works for the first time pain

cedar roost
smoky mulch
#

somehow it randomly started bandwidth sharing but I still don't see the program in my task manager

upbeat shuttle

  • There is a minimum upload speed requirement that is currently ~10mbps in the UK/DE, and ~5mbps in the US.
    If your upload speed sometimes fluctuates below that, that could be a possible reason for why it isn't starting / why you are not getting any jobs.
    (To resolve this, just make sure that your upload speed is a stable 15+mbps to be safe, then try to get it to run another speed test by ||enabling / disabling some resources, restarting Salad /|| restarting your PC.)
    It seems the only way to make Salad re-run their bandwidth test is by restarting your PC.

||- There is also a maximum number of people that can be running bandwidth sharing at any one time, currently on a per-country basis.
So you could try starting it when there's likely to be less people awake to have their PC on Bandwidth Sharing.
Those times would probably be early / late in the day, or even through the night.
Or you could also just get lucky and yoink someone's place right as they stop Bandwidth Sharing troll||
^^ This may no longer be true, according to Jared in a livestream. I'll still keep it in this post just in case though :)

  • CPU mining may not work at the same time as Bandwidth Sharing. Though I can say that bandwidth sharing does work with CPU enabled when you're using the new container workloads.
upbeat shuttle
tight atlas
#

Lol yeah

#

If you have it on and you just drop the folder it in detects and starts the file

#

For me at least

#

(for some reason it wasn't even downloading the workload)

upbeat shuttle
#

@queen patrol ^ could be something to try

#

though you'll probably have to get the exact name of the folder right, which i can't rember exactly

worthy bronze
#

Does anyone know why I'm not earning money with bandwidth sharing?

subtle condor
#

same thing with me, I'm in the UK and I ran bandwidth sharing for around 13 hours and didn't earn anything

#

Glasswire tells me that Salad used around 6.3gb of data though....

upbeat shuttle
#

You'd wanna be looking for the usage of 'sgs-client.exe'

subtle condor
#

it's not there

cedar roost
#

though it still didnt fix it for me catJAMCRY

upbeat shuttle
# upbeat shuttle - There is a minimum upload speed requirement that is currently ~10mbps in the U...
  • It is almost certainly required that you have a compatible CPU and GPU. Not having a compatible GPU may likely affect your 'trustability' rating, or at least how easy it is for you to get sgs-client.exe to start.

  • Make sure that you aren't using a VPN;

  • Only residential, non-business IPs/connections are accepted.

  • For the UK beta, it's just the GB part of the UK that is included in this beta - so England, Wales, and Scotland.
    In the same sense, for the US and Germany, it is only for those places - not countries nearby there, like Canada.

  • Check to see if your IP is 'bad quality', which could happen if it was previously used for sussy means, and was then later reassigned to you.
    There are some sites where you can check if your IP is 'bad quality' that you can find by just searching 'IP quality checker'.
    If you do have a bad quality IP, you can just refresh it by turning off your router for like 10 minutes, then turning it back on.

Bandwidth sharing megathread i guess

queen patrol
upbeat shuttle
#

manually creating the folder, and putting the sgs-client.exe file inside of it

#

ofc making sure the folder is the exact right name

queen patrol
#

where do i get it again

cedar roost
#

i can send you sgs-client.exe

#

@queen patrol

queen patrol
#

didnt work

cedar roost
#

yeah same didn't work for me

#

salad support told me to restart my router(s) and try changing to a different internet connection (since I have 2 routers and am using the secondary one)

#

gpu mining at the same time since it can help

queen patrol
#

Yeah guess who's done all of that

cedar roost
#

idk man

#

i guess we gotta wait until its out of beta

brazen sail
#

Not surprised to see everyone else with this issue, they didn’t push a fix out 💀

queen patrol
#

It hasn't worked at all for me

#

Bandwidth sharing is just a myth confirmed..

lavish summit
#

It works for me without any file modification. I installed Salad 1.0 within the past two weeks, in case that changes anything.

upbeat shuttle
#

salad 2.0 😳

lavish summit
#

I fixed it

upbeat shuttle
#

hehe

Howww

#

Just click the bandwidth sharing button under the performance tab if your in an area where it's being tested (aka. US or UK)

#

once we have this file should we put it in the workloads directory?

upbeat shuttle
#

yeah, the sgs-client should be inside a folder inside workloads, named according to whichever region you're in

peak terrace
#

ah that's familiar then

#

i saw that on my PC but it's not showing up on my laptop

umbral nest
#

sgs-client already in my workloads but no work

peak terrace
#

so my laptop has decided to bring it into existence with no external input

#

thats goofy

#

maybe there were no workloads

upbeat shuttle
peak terrace
#

so

#

right from the top

#

Opened salad as administrator (although I don't think that plays an important role), pressed start with GPU mining and bandwidth sharing on, let my laptop mine on gpu for about 10 minutes, and then I noticed the generated money increasing on the salad earnings page, I checked to see if sgs-client.exe existed in the workloads directory under that bandwidth-test-UK folder, and then it was running in task manager

#

I have been testing and trying it all day and it hasn't been working, while my PC worked perfectly fine and would get bandwidth sharing workloads instantly as soon as I started it

#

So honestly I'm not sure what I did that could've made it work

#

Would you be interested in logs files or something?

upbeat shuttle
#

hm

#

to clarify, did you manually create the bandwidth sharing folder to cause this to happen?

peak terrace
#

No salad created it itself, I didn't even download the sgs-client.exe copy you sent because I wanted to give it more time

upbeat shuttle
#

gotcha

peak terrace
#

I also reinstalled salad but I highly doubt that would do much because I had only first installed it earlier today

#

So all the files were fresh

upbeat shuttle
#

you could send over the log files in my dms if you'd like, so i could try to find out what caused it to suddenly decide to work

peak terrace
#

sure

#

discord privacy settings brrr?

upbeat shuttle
#

not sure

#

my dms should be open

#

looks to be on your end?

peak terrace

"Your message could not be delivered. Usually, this happens if you don't share a common server with the recipient or the recipient only accepts messages from friends."

upbeat shuttle
#

All I'm seeing in the logs so far is that nothing seems to have changed, and it just suddenly started working..?

#

which would indicate that some logic is happening at Salad's end

#

though it did start bandwidth sharing almost exactly 10 minutes after Salad started

#

maybe being ran for >10 minutes is one of its criteria

#

It looks like they were also GPU mining for that duration

peak terrace
#

Interesting

upbeat shuttle
#

okay i did some thinking and uhh

#

10 minutes seems to be a recurring time though

#

I was CPU+GPU mining, I then disabled CPU, 10 minutes later bandwidth sharing worked

#

it's pretty hard to tell really what's going on

#

probably because some helpful log info is only being generated on Salad's side

#

current thoughts are maybe 10 minutes after it sees you've met the criteria, and they aren't at the limit for the number of nodes that can run bandwidth sharing at once, then it'll start bandwidth sharing

#

this definitely exhausted my brain, i'll try to have a look at all the logs i have again tomorrow, hopefully some of this was somewhat helpful for anyone lurking

twin vector
#

Is updater2 (Prime-Zeus-Beta) a new like US bandwidth workload?

#

Been working well enough today and past month

cedar roost
#

salad isnt even trying to test my internet speed anymore

upbeat shuttle
tight atlas
#

Idk man

#

Yup just did it same result

#

Slad pls fix

upbeat shuttle
#

don't forget that cpu mining does not work alongside bandwidth sharing

tight atlas
#

yeah i do it with just gpu same result

cedar roost
quiet brook
#

same issue

umbral nest
#

what is that

#

stealth bomber?

lavish summit
#

When will bandwidth sharing be fixed?

twin vector
lavish summit
twin vector
#

Are you in the us?

lavish summit
#

Yup.

twin vector
#

Yeah not getting anything from it for that long is possible

lavish summit
#

Strange.

twin vector
#

Ehh not really strange

#

Just how it is

lavish summit
#

Eyyyy, Bandwidth Sharing is working for me, again.

umbral nest
#

oh shit it does work now

#

im getting new logs

#

Not too sure what you're asking, but CPU mining will defo not work with Bandwidth Sharing

upbeat shuttle
lavish summit
#

I thought BS was just some internet data movement. Why would that prevent CPU mining from working?

upbeat shuttle
#

some kinda limitation currently in salad

lavish summit
#

Weird... I just checked and you're right...

#

A degraded message comes up that links to an article that doesn't say anything about BS & CPU incompatibility. Very strange.

upbeat shuttle
#

Well it kinda makes sense to me that they wouldn't really mention a temporary bug

lavish summit
#

Oh, you think it's a bug? Seems like a strange bug to me, but ok. I suppose BS is a testing feature.

upbeat shuttle
#

yeah, it should be fixed by the time it's fully released

lavish summit
#

:/

tropic vortex
#

my earnings dropped after i upgraded to a faster onnection?

brisk bison
#

Kept it on for 4 hours still ain't working in uk

#

But my upload speed is averaging 9 mbps

#

So is it not sufficient

#

?

upbeat shuttle
#

Yeah the minimum for the UK/Germany as far as i know is 10mbps

upbeat shuttle
#

For anyone having issues still, I've had good success with
Enabling bandwidth sharing > Starting chopping > Enabling GPU for 3-7 seconds, then disabling it

brisk bison
#

Tried it

#

The file still isn't downloading

upbeat shuttle
#

Have you read through the pins here to make sure you've done everything right + are eligible?

brisk bison
#

I'm 1 mbps off the minimum 😔

upbeat shuttle
#

rip that'd be it then

brisk bison
#

I find it funny tho

#

Idk why

upbeat shuttle
#

you'd preferably wanna be at 15mbps+ in case if it fluctuates a bit

stiff wedge
#

Oh god it's not working again after I restarted my computer

umbral nest
#

ye happened to me too when i restarted my computer lol

stiff wedge
#

yep so ugh

#

u have to delete salad completely and do all the extra downloading stuff again

#

and enabling cpu for a few seconds then it should work fine

umbral nest
#

reinstalling salad worked for you?

stiff wedge
#

Mhm

#

And doing all the enabling cpu and disabling stuff

#

Basically doing everything from scratch again

umbral nest
#

did it take a while?

stiff wedge
#

Nope

#

Almost instantly

umbral nest
#

welp i reinstalled and everything but still not working

#

I also don't see my bandwidth folder anymore

#

welp imma keep it on for a day and it see what happens

stiff wedge
umbral nest
#

imma cry

brisk bison
#

For uk

twin vector
#

You may also get another folder for a different bandwidth workload

brisk bison
twin vector
#

Bandwidth-Test-Beta atleast for me isn't the only bandwidth workload

upbeat shuttle
#

what's the other one(s)?

brisk bison
twin vector
#

I also have a Prime-Zeus-Beta which sometimes runs instead of Bandwidth-Test-Beta

#

In fact prime zeus is the main one that runs for me

upbeat shuttle
#

ah yeah iirc they're testing that too just in the US

twin vector

#

This good?

upbeat shuttle

probably

lavish summit
#

Looks like BS is broken again, at least for me.

gleaming shell
#

mine has been broken

plain birch
#

ive been wondering, does bandwidth sharing work on a vm, that way hypothetically someone can start 3 pcs in one and have all 3 bandwidth sharing? or is there sometime that makes it impossible for sgs-client to run on the vm?

#

anyone know^?

upbeat shuttle
#

No, vms will not work

#

I can say for sure as I've personally tried it myself

plain birch
#

i was trying and indeed couldnt get them to work

#

i give up lmfao

#

happy with my pc and laptop

#

lol

worthy bronze
tropic vortex
plain birch
#

i have 3 on my ip at my house and 2 at my friends house

#

pulling in about $3.5 a day

peak terrace
#

it seems as if the payout has been lowered to $0.005 per 15 minutes

#

shame

gleaming shell
#

i get 0 per 15 minutes bc i havent gotten a bandwidth job in over a month for whatever reaason

upbeat shuttle
# peak terrace

oh yeah yikes my earnings went down by roughly the same too

#

@frigid reef yours too?

peak terrace
#

luckily I have six functional computers that form my mini cluster so I can just fire them up to compensate epic

frigid reef
#

dam yikes

frigid reef
upbeat shuttle
#

ruined it

peak terrace
#

i guess so many people started using it that it wasn't profitable for them anymore

upbeat shuttle
#

hmm

peak terrace
#

so i'm down from $1.44/24h to $0.96/24h

upbeat shuttle
#

maybe they're lowering the pay so more people can join in

peak terrace
#

adding more countries

worthy bronze
#

lowered sadly

plain birch
#

so its .250 per 15 per device now?

#

WHYYYYY!

plain birch
#

they used a combined total of like 300gb in the last week on my devices and i only got paid $5.5 that week

twin vector
plain birch
#

i was getting .07 per 15 mintues last night

#

now im getting 0.3-0.035

#

shit went half for sure

twin vector
#

you are probably doing a different workload now

#

or rather job*

plain birch
#

i see

#

so it fluctuates a lot through out the day and over time?

twin vector
#

that's why as an example, Germany and the UK make a lot more than those in the US

plain birch
#

i see thanks for elaborating mr

tropic vortex
plain birch
#

around 400 gb in 1.5 weeks

upbeat shuttle
#

damn

#

you're in the gigabytes and most people are in the megabytes

stiff wedge
#

have a dynamic ip address so cant really check but mines decreased too

tulip jolt
#

yup my earnings halved 😔

stiff wedge
#

only brits halved or also US and germany

tulip jolt
#

im from germany so

#

yes germany too

stiff wedge
#

well not halved but rather a decrease

tulip jolt
#

mine halved from 0.01 to 0.005

stiff wedge
#

i have 2 laptops running and it went from 0.015 to 0.01

tulip jolt
#

shrug could be different for everyone

stiff wedge
#

well i hope they increase it back up

tulip jolt
#

same

stiff wedge
#

if i get 0.015/15 mins ill get like $40 a month

#

thats huge

tulip jolt
#

free moneyz is always gud

stiff wedge
#

now i only get $27 if they keep it at that rate

#

🥲

tulip jolt
#

ill be getting 15$ roughly 😂

#

i dont mind though basicallyyyy free money

stiff wedge
#

gonna go ask my dad to download salad and run bandwidth so i get more mooney

plain birch
#

but still being paid the same as everyone else im pretty sure

#

unless im dumb

tulip jolt
#

hmm i think sgs has used like 100 gigs so far for 20 ish days

plain birch
#

in one 15 mintues it can be 0.071 and another can be 0.025

tulip jolt
#

thats interesting

plain birch
plain birch
#

as long as im getting paid for it 💀

tulip jolt
#

trueee

plain birch
#

on my laptop it went up by 20 gb since that last screen shot

#

from 97 to 111gb

#

lol

#

was like barely 1.5 hrs

tulip jolt
#

i should get more devices

plain birch
#

ive been trying to resurrect the old laptops all over my house lmfao

tulip jolt
#

yeah ive got like 2 laptops that are very old

plain birch
#

they will get the job done for sure

#

as long as they are on, connect to the internet, and remain on charge or so

tulip jolt
#

yup one even is passive cooled so no fan noise

#

btw

#

do you have different ips or just 1

plain birch
#

i have 3 pcs on one ip and 2 pcs on another ip at a friends place

tulip jolt
#

oh i see ty

upbeat shuttle
plain birch
#

i guess so 🫡

stiff wedge

#

only getting 96 cents a day

tulip jolt
#

hooked up another device to the same ip now earning 0.01 per 15 mins

#

basically doubled

upbeat shuttle
#

Bandwidth sharing megathread

tropic vortex
#

used to earn $1 a day

#

now i get $0.01

shrewd terrace
#

mine got halfed, 0,49$ instead of 0,98$

#

Really hoped it would be the other way around,letting us use more of the bandwidth and earn more

tulip jolt
#

i added another device on same ip and get same earnings as before

upbeat shuttle
stiff wedge
#

found a way to actually make it work

#

but i have to go out rn

#

gonna share it here when im back home

#

it works for me in uk but idk others in germany

stiff wedge
#

Needed extra steps

upbeat shuttle
#

what extra steps did you do?

stiff wedge
#

Basically putting the zip file into the _downloads file thinggy in workloads and also putting a file named Bandwidth_Test_1.0.7 or something with the sgs-client inside

#

And also adding a file Bandwidth_Testing_UK or whatever it is called into the log files

#

Then do the enabling cpu and disabling it steps and it magically works

brisk bison
#

@stiff wedge ty so much man I'm now earning finally 🥲🥲🥲🥲

brazen sail
#

still not working L

#

i have the file and everything

#

tried to do what SpookyOzua said

#

no success

slate eagle
brazen sail
#

how have they not fixed it yet lol

tight atlas
#

It's a shame they haven't even fixed these issues yet

stiff wedge
#

tbh i dont think my "method" really works

#

ive restarted my pc and its still not working

#

maybe its luck based 🤷

stiff wedge
#

yup i truly thinks its based on luck
i got it working again..

#

Apparently this is how it works but I had it on for a whole month and nothing happens lol

twin vector
#

I thought that it was known that it will only run when you actually get a job/workload

stiff wedge
#

Na tbh I don't think that's how it works

#

or it only works like that in the US but not UK and Germany

twin vector
#

Just in uk and Germany they have more “jobs” you can actually use

stiff wedge
#

I live in the UK and had it opened for over a month, nothing happens

#

After I do the enabling CPU and disabling it thing it works fine giving me $20 a month

slate eagle
#

bandwidth is still in beta or its just shit overall

upbeat shuttle
#

Still in beta

plain birch
#

has it decreased even more? it went from 0.48 per 24h to 0.24 per 24h for me (per device)

upbeat shuttle
#

uhh it hasn't decreased since like a week or two ago

#

check that your devices still have sgs-client.exe running

opaque tundra
#

Oh, I made a ticket but I might aswell ask here. Does Salad need to be unpaused in order to get bandwidth sharing to work? I'm asking because despite it being paused, it made calls to librespeed and the according website. I'd be good to know so I don't need to unpause it every time I boot up (autostart doesn't really work)

stiff wedge
#

Yes

#

It has to be running

#

You can just turn off gpu and cpu mining anyway and turn them back on if you decided to mine

upbeat shuttle
#

Librespeed is just the speed test to tell how fast your internet connection is. It runs this test sometimes

opaque tundra
#

Yeah I know, I had to unblock the site it was using because MB detected it as riskware

slate eagle
#

so randomly it just turned on at 7 am today

#

after not working for a few months

#

it finally decided to work

upbeat shuttle
#

pog

slate eagle
#

but i have a feeling once i stop mining

#

its gonna never come back

tulip jolt
#

nope

#

have faith

tight yacht
#

What's the reason for limiting it to a certain region?

upbeat shuttle
#

Just so they can test things, making sure it all works as it should with a limited number of people

tight yacht
#

Isn't a full scale test more effective for gathering info?

#

Also as far as I can tell they've been testing for months

tulip jolt
#

i dont think theres enough demand for certain countries to test

peak terrace
#

i am hoping the bandwidth sharing pay doesn't get lowered again

tulip jolt
#

i dont think it will

#

also you can use a second device on same ip and ear 0.01 per bar

#

at least it worked for me

tulip jolt
#

before it was .01

#

wait

#

💀

#

forget what i said

slate eagle
#

nvm tf

Try using your gpu instead bc maybe your internet is not allowing tbh idk what Im saying but it is what it is

I've completely stopped getting earnings from Bandwidth sharing, what can I do to fix this? My internet is 100mbps

gleaming shell
#

Took over a month for me to get a bandwidth job

tulip jolt
#

yeah you have to have lots of uptime for jobs

peak terrace
#

bandwidth sharing has literally just stopped

#

on both my pc and my friend's

#

my friend's pc

#

this is new

#

new sgs client dropped 🥶

upbeat shuttle
#

heh my earnings just died too

#

perfect timing as i was experimenting with it, so now i have multiple things that could be broken

peak terrace
#

it's never taken this long to get a bandwidth workload before

twin vector
peak terrace
#

no like before an hour ago I'd get a workload the minute i enable bandwidth sharing

twin vector
#

just how it can be

#

no idea if it's broke or meant to be doing that for you

#

but I can go days without getting a workload from it

peak terrace
#

the sgs client got updated

#

that has something to do with it

upbeat shuttle
#

I'm also having trouble heh

#

Unless if they've changed the way it works, sgs-client.exe isn't opening no matter what I try

#

nvm, it opened

#

just did the usual enable and then disable gpu after a few secs

#

..despite trying the exact same thing already lol

peak terrace
upbeat shuttle
#

It's my trick ^-^

#

hmm

#

i feel like it might've just fixed itself

#

since it did just roll out a new version, maybe it was just taking some time

#

new logs are now being created in 'Bandwidth-SGS-UK'

peak terrace
#

its running for me as well

upbeat shuttle
#

pog

peak terrace
#

friend reports it working as well

#

seems to be restored

#

now lets hope the payout hasn't been further reduced

#

payout seems the same

update: the pay has increased from $0.02/hr to $0.024/hr
nvm it didnt

also to get the most earnings, should I be using both bandwidth sharing and GPU mining or just bandwidth sharing?

upbeat shuttle
#

Well, your GPU mining earnings and bandwidth earnings will both count, soooo

stiff wedge
#

And got a little spike

#

Wonder if earnings are back up hearteyes

stiff wedge
#

$0.022 from 2 devices

#

I lied

grave jacinth
#

ok so when is it coming to asia

#

so I can exploit my ISPs unlimited data plan

stiff wedge
#

Nvm it back to $0.023

stiff wedge
#

They got rid of the word “Testing” in the files

grave jacinth
#

hey also I have a 100mbps+ connection on my phone but 14 mbps connection on my computer using the same wifi

#

2.4 ghz on computer

#

is there any way I can connect my phone to the computer and use the wifi through my phone

stiff wedge
#

Is it mobile data plan?

grave jacinth
#

its a proper router and a wifi

#

not mobile data

stiff wedge
#

Use LAN

grave jacinth
#

meh its less but its still far to connect using LAN

stiff wedge
#

Idk pretty sure a normal lan cable would be fine

grave jacinth
#

not mobile data

stiff wedge
#

Google can help you 👍

grave jacinth
#

idk what to search

#

it just shows results for setting up mobile hotspot

#

ok I somehow made it work using usb tethering

#

doubled from 14 mbps to 29 mbps

stiff wedge

#

bandwidth sharing stopped for the past 2 days

#

any fixes?

tropic vortex
stiff wedge
#

Try restarting the salad app

pulsar arrow
pulsar arrow
tropic vortex
#

that normally fixes issues for me

peak terrace
#

ay yo wtf

#

I think by default you only get a base amount of money back

#

but when you get an actual bandwidth sharing workload it spikes up

#

this is my theory

#

yyyyup

#

it do be sharing bandwidth

gleaming shell
#

bruhh im here still earning like nothing bc my gpu is weak and my bandwidth sharing isnt working

gleaming shell
#

probs around 62 times idk

upbeat shuttle
#

what country?

stiff wedge
peak terrace
gleaming shell
#

im in the us and im probs not gonna get a bandwidth job in a very long time

peak terrace
#

looks like its flattened out

#

it must be waiting for another job

#

this is a slightly older image but yeah

upbeat shuttle
#

oof

#

what's your internet speeds supposed to be?

pulsar arrow
#

110 down 10 up

upbeat shuttle
#

oh ooff

#

that's barely meeting the minimum heh

pulsar arrow
#

it worked though

#

all this time

upbeat shuttle
#

nice

pulsar arrow
#

I used to get 0.00750 every 15 mins before it was cut

peak terrace
upbeat shuttle
#

as far as I know, 10mbps for UK / Germany, and 5mbps for the US

tight atlas
#

poggers earnings (container workloads and bandwidth)

#

guessing you have the same profits too ozua

upbeat shuttle
#

:)

#

it's pogging

peak terrace
#

off topic but what does this signify (it says original author)

upbeat shuttle
#

peaked at 6 cents / 15 mins

tight atlas
#

i made the post : )

upbeat shuttle
peak terrace
#

oh

#

this is new information

tight atlas
#

and ozua stole it by renaming it

#

and invading pins

peak terrace
upbeat shuttle
#

:)

#

it had a bunch of info already and it'd be a waste of time to repost all of it

stiff wedge
#

I’m still out so hope it doesn’t update the system again until Saturday lol

pulsar arrow
#

it's an older image

gleaming shell
tight atlas
#

yoo did bandwidth sharing become dynamic? i'm making even more now

upbeat shuttle
#

well a bit of both

#

it looks like actual jobs are coming in now :)

#

for the uk and germany, it looks like Salad set a static earning rate for us

#

plus whatever we get for actually sharing bandwidth

tight atlas
#

im getting salad profit vibes from back when mining was good lol

#

i mean theres not much power consumption at all on these new features

upbeat shuttle
#

yep

#

well with the container stuff, that'll defo change once they roll out some actual workloads

peak terrace
#

will the salad cloud containers be a separate thing from bandwidth sharing

upbeat shuttle
#

Yep

#

They already are heh

peak terrace
#

good

tropic vortex
#

i'm not sure how that is related in the slightest possible way

peak terrace
#

I was thinking along the lines of "would I be able to do just bandwidth sharing without also having cloud running"

#

If they were combined as one thing that you can enable and disable

upbeat shuttle
#

Yep by the time they're actually released, you should be able to have your CPU, GPU, Bandwidth, Containers enabled in any combination :)

plain birch
#

tf is that container thing? do they pay you for extra space on your drives used or sumn like a cloud?

#

or am i missing something

upbeat shuttle
#

That'd be some kinda storage sharing - which Salad is not working on atm

#

It's just running Saladcloud workloads, like training AI to take over the world, in its own little area, like putting it in a plastic container

plain birch
upbeat shuttle
#

Well it's already open for Senior Chefs here, and I'm pretty sure will be opening to more people soon ;)

plain birch
#

is it better than bandwidth sharing per 24h? 👀

upbeat shuttle
#

It's really hard to predict how much we can earn with it - Especially as it's not even fully released yet 😅

#

If you have a good CPU and/or GPU, then you're likely to earn good money

tight yacht
#

wish I had BWSharing, I would love to put my ISP into bankruptcy

brazen sail
#

when will this thing work...

#

where can I find the Bandwidth folder again?

stiff wedge
#

Bro nah what is this over $1 half a day

brazen sail
stiff wedge
#

Try doing the cpu or gpu trick

brazen sail
#

I found the workloads folder and theres not even a bandwidth test! That's convenient!

peak terrace
upbeat shuttle
#

jeez the amount of bandwidth I'm seeing it using now in #show-off-your-earnings

#

it's definitely working!!

stiff wedge
#

Truly crazy how much I’m getting from it

upbeat shuttle
#

oh my

#

just remoted into my other pc and sgs-client is absolutely bandwidth sharing!!

#

windows 11 doesn't wanna tell me how much data it's used :/

stiff wedge
#

I can’t check cus I have a dynamic ip address :(

#

But I do think it is working VERY FINE

#

I’m making over $2 a day now

tulip jolt
#

my bandwidth dun be sharin 😔

subtle condor
#

Use glasswire guys

#

Also question, if I am running just bandwidth sharing and Salad says degraded but sgs-client is still using bandwidth and doing workloads. Will I still get the earnings right?

#

It says degraded and that all hardware is incompatible but sgs-client is still running and doing workloads

subtle condor
upbeat shuttle
#

If sgs-client is running, and bandwidth is being used, it's working

subtle condor
#

yea, I thought that

upbeat shuttle
#

Salad just messes up detecting if everything's working fine sometimes

subtle condor
#

maybe because the GPU is incompatible because it's only IGPU

#

not sure though

upbeat shuttle
upbeat shuttle
subtle condor
#

Nope!

#

They have a premium subscription that adds cool features but other than that. The app is completely free

upbeat shuttle
#

oh pog

subtle condor
#

It's also a extremely privacy friendly company 🙂

pulsar arrow
#

oh I use it on my phone, never knew they existed over on windows

subtle condor
peak terrace
#

my IP address changed and it seems like i'm getting no more bandwidth sharing workloads

upbeat shuttle
#

Is your new IP good quality? (See my comment on this in the pins)

peak terrace
#

its just sorta dead

upbeat shuttle
#

ah if it's running then that's a good sign

peak terrace
#

its running but i've got no workloads as you can see

#

rebooted the router at about 6 which is where it became flat

#

my old ip started with 72 and this new one starts with 90

upbeat shuttle
#

I'd just say to give it some time, since it probably has some stuff to verify and whatnot

peak terrace
#

i let it run overnight always so i'll wait

upbeat shuttle
peak terrace
upbeat shuttle
#

I've updated the pinned messages a bit

#

lmk if I'm missing any new data, which I probably am

tropic vortex
#

that's very helpful

peak terrace
#

i have never seen it use such little ram

peak terrace
#

gonna reboot

peak terrace
#

It is the morning

#

Still no workloads

frigid reef
peak terrace
#

I let it sit for like 9 hours and nothing changed

frigid reef
peak terrace
#

Before it would instantly start getting workloads when I enabled it

#

Like within the past week

#

It's never taken this long before

frigid reef
#

same happened to me, i had to wait a whole day before i got one yesterday

peak terrace
#

awfully goofy ahh

#

it just stopped when I got a new IP and hasn't gotten any workloads since

#

And this new IP is a good quality one

Both have stopped with the workloads

subtle condor

Is it worth the effort lol 😝

tulip jolt

yes

subtle condor
#

time to buy a stock cooler then ig

stiff wedge
#

Anyone experiencing slow internet right now / when bandwidth sharing is on?

#

It was normal yesterday but it started going bye bye this afternoon

upbeat shuttle
#

Bandwidth sharing.. does share your bandwidth

subtle condor
#

lmao

stiff wedge
#

Well I have a few bandwidth sharing apps and they all work the same, doesn’t slow my internet down

slate eagle
#

could somebody send a copy os sgs-client latest version

upbeat shuttle
tropic vortex
tulip jolt
#

news to me ong

subtle condor
#

same !

tropic vortex
#

mind blwing really

tropic vortex
#

does it run bandwidth sharing

tulip jolt
subtle condor
#

probably not unless you put it in the salad workload folder, but even then I don't think so

tulip jolt
#

i dont think at least

subtle condor
#

yea

#

I thought that

#

lol my network is being slow lmao I wonder why

#

lets see if it can overtake Operagx :troll

#

572 gb though damn

upbeat shuttle
#

hm~

#

i wonder if we could calculate roughly how much we're getting paid per MB

subtle condor
#

I think Nova said once

#

lemme find their message

upbeat shuttle
subtle condor
#

tru

#

ugh can't find their message, but I earn they said once

#

they were also saying there is no limit for earnings on bandwidth sharing, because you make money per mb or something like that

#

my ISP has this package, should I buy it!?

tulip jolt
#

idk when i used bandwidth it was a fixed graph i dont think i ever got a real bandwidth job

upbeat shuttle
#

yeah now they're starting to actually use our bandwidth :3

subtle condor
#

you can see using task manager because sgs-client will be using network

upbeat shuttle
#

so we (UK/DE) get static + actual bandwidth

subtle condor
upbeat shuttle
#

same

upbeat shuttle
subtle condor
#

it used like a gig a week

tulip jolt
subtle condor
#

now it uses 90 gig a day

upbeat shuttle
#

wait £150 a month is pretty good for 10 gigabit, is that symmetrical though?

subtle condor
#

no

#

it's a ISP that's owned by farmers

#

it's in a very remote area

tulip jolt
#

coming to give you a cookie

subtle condor

upbeat shuttle

hehe

#

I still haven't managed to find what the upload speeds are for it

subtle condor

do you want me to DM you lmao

#

I'll find old sceenshot because I'm not home

upbeat shuttle

oh damn not bad

subtle condor

that's wifi tho so there might be a bottle neck

upbeat shuttle
#

unlike @frigid reef's trol

subtle condor

I wish I could setup my main pc there with salad because I'd be rich 💀

subtle condor

I'm stuck with a shitty virgin media connection atm

frigid reef
subtle condor
#

what's your upload 🥺

frigid reef
#

on average around 50 to 60 though they told me 70 3HC_cry

subtle condor
#

frigid reef

but i get 1 gig download

subtle condor
frigid reef

like bruh

subtle condor
upbeat shuttle
subtle condor
#

we only have the 500 package

#

is it worth it Nova

frigid reef
#

try and find a better company tbh

subtle condor
#

I wish B4rn is where I am atm

frigid reef
#

i would say its better to get something like 500/100 then to get 1 gig with 70 upload

subtle condor
#

true

upbeat shuttle
subtle condor
#

correct

frigid reef
upbeat shuttle
subtle condor
#

b4rn is really good actually

frigid reef
#

zzoomm is better

subtle condor
#

expensive hm

#

well

#

actually

#

not bad nvm

#

I'm stupid

upbeat shuttle
#

yeah zzoomm is poggers

#

at least, compared to the current monopoly that's going on

tulip jolt
#

vodafone is best wdym

subtle condor
upbeat shuttle
#

it depends on where you are ofc, but I'm pretty sure openreach has an absolute monopoly over the uk

subtle condor
#

it does

#

correct

upbeat shuttle
#

oh epic over 1k openreach employees are on strike

#

anyways

subtle condor
#

yea

#

how do I convince my parents to upgrade the package lmao

upbeat shuttle
pulsar arrow
#

say the magic word

upbeat shuttle
#

show 'em the money it's earning
if that doesn't work, you could offer them some of the money to cover some of the additional cost

subtle condor

My parents keep telling me to get a job

#

I'm 13 though

upbeat shuttle

subtle condor
#

can I cancel at 5.5 months :troll

tulip jolt
#

i think they make u go in q contract with them

subtle condor
#

ye ye

#

same as most ISPs

frigid reef
#

there is loads of broadband companies in the uk that offer good speeds the sad part is they are all very small and not available in alot of locations

upbeat shuttle
#

I hope that free 6 months offer is still active when I'm able to get it klees

subtle condor
#

they are all in remote areas, mostly country side and stuff

#

and owned by farmers

frigid reef
#

not really

subtle condor
#

no?

#

oh

frigid reef

and i mean very small

subtle condor

tropic vortex

on ethernet

#

then they chanegd it

#

and asid

#

we promise you 20

#

im upgraidng me wifi

subtle condor
#

maybe your router is giving you a bottle neck, because I changed my old shitty wifi router with a more expensive netgear one and it made everything better, including ethernet speed

subtle condor
#

yea

frigid reef
subtle condor
#

in Salads logs or in the mining logs

frigid reef
#

whats the difference

subtle condor
#

true

frigid reef
#

its in salads log folder so its salads logs

subtle condor
#

o my hash has defo dropped a lot lol

#

eh

#

soon I just won't gpu mine at all

#

and then 65w powerdraw ez profit

#

(maybe)

#

Also (prob a stupid question) but is there any easy way to make the mining software's window visible

frigid reef
#

that isnt possible unless you run the miner yourself

subtle condor
#

ow oki

#

does salad add launch options to the miner to hide the window or something

frigid reef
#

idk how they do it

subtle condor
#

yea

#

I think they should add an option for advanced users only that makes the console visible again

#

because it's easier than checking the logs if yk what I mean

stiff wedge
#

Wish I have my 1000mbps back

#

I used to have FTTH before I moved country

And it was cheap

can't remember the trex port

4067 i think

peak terrace
#

If you check in the log it tells you

subtle condor
#

I'll try later

peak terrace
#

At the top of the log where it initialises

though that's assuming that Salad configures the miners, let alone trex, to have the web interface enabled
