i'm looking through the logs on my laptop because that has old sgs logs
before it stopped working the lines had non-zero values for "BidirThroughput"
as you can see here
but now its zero

yeah the numbers are the data/jobs going through your network
its 0 when you got no job

Jeez it's so bugged. Sometimes bandwidth client refuses to start at all, and when it does eventually start the earnings seem to be low until I mine for like 5 hours straight. I guess ima have to keep my computer on 24/7 for max profit

If the file doesn't exist, you could try creating it yourself, the latest sgs-client seems to be here^
You've just gotta put that in a correctly named folder - I'm not absolutely sure on what it's called for the US/DE, but I know UK is;
UK - Bandwidth-SGS-UK-0.1.8
For the other two I'd assume it's;
US - Bandwidth-SGS-US-0.1.8

I'm sure that Salad will have places with faster average internet speeds in mind 
All we can do is wait and see what happens~

That's probably a grey area - if you wanted to make sure that you're doing everything absolutely right, you could ask your school for permission to do so..
orrr you could do it anyways
upbeat shuttle
well
frigid reef
well containers are not crypto, though it most likely breaks other laws/salad tos
opal echo
Ok
upbeat shuttle
it wouldn't be cryptojacking, but it could still be using a computer for purposes other than those which your school intended for it to be used for
opal echo
I mean the school
Allowed students to use the Mac freely (also safely) when not at school
Like gaming

I personally don't see much of a problem with it then

at the end of the day its a mac, im not even sure containers will work on bootcamp

frigid reef
There wasn't anything new about bandwidth sharing for 2 months i think
Salad told us they were working on the areas that it’s currently available too, brining more companies in for the bandwidth to be used
and they have done that
as in the uk and Germany more peoples bandwidth is getting used

Why are you enjoying this
Your pain is enjoyable :)

I (think) I've got a fix for sgs-client not running/not even being in the workloads folder, I uninstalled salad and deleted the whole workloads folder and reinstalled the salad container beta and now sgs-client actually gets installed when running salad for the first time and it starts too
Before, it wouldn't even start for me even after uninstalling salad and reinstalling it, but deleting the workloads folder fixed it
kinda weird but at least it works now lul
subtle condor
yea, also is there anyway to stop xmrig CPU starting when you do container workloads?
upbeat shuttle
unfortunately not currently
hopefully they'll make cpu mining and container stuff be separate soon
subtle condor
alright cool, because I've started to run salad on my school laptop and when running container xmrig starts and it just thermally throttles 🗿
subtle condor
hopefully they'll make cpu mining and container stuff be separate soon
yea, that'd be cool
upbeat shuttle
hopefully they'll make cpu mining and container stuff be separate soon
yeah and that's not some 'soon™️' thing - I was really expecting this to exist already
subtle condor
same tbh but maybe the devs are busy making other workloads 😳
upbeat shuttle
let's hope so
because whatever those things could be are being prioritised over a number of annoying issues
upbeat shuttle
like the blogs being broken, and the pantry being broken
upbeat shuttle
Still salad is 1000% better than it was 1 year ago
hmm
yeah they've made progress
subtle condor
Shame the store and earning history aren't built into the desktop app too 
upbeat shuttle
it just sucks how slow it is, because their team is still so smol
subtle condor
yeah they've made progress
yes!

This has to be one of the best servers I've been active in, I used to mod some other servers a little bit and it sucked
subtle condor
i swear a couple years ago there was always something bad happening
I'm pretty sure SaladBind brought a lot of annoying people here tbh
upbeat shuttle
hmm
I wouldn't say that it brought annoying people here - it defo brought people that didn't know how to read docs, but I'm pretty sure the annoying people were here regardless of Saladbind
subtle condor
eh, yea I guess so
weirdly, I get a lot of DMs from this server from people asking how I'm earning so much when I post a message in #show-off-your-earnings
subtle condor
I don't really mind it too much, I'm kinda used to getting support DMs from other servers lol
I try to be as helpful as I can
Also, if SGS-Client stops starting again, can I just run it from command line with the machine_id and server_host_port thingy or will I not get earnings?
subtle condor
idk if anybody's tried that lol
upbeat shuttle
I think I've heard of others doing so, but I'm not really sure if it's worked consistently
subtle condor
yea
upbeat shuttle
you're welcome to try it out and let us know how it goes ^-^
subtle condor
I think I start by doing cd C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads\Bandwidth-SGS-UK-0.1.8
Is there any easy way to copy command line from task manager?

That happening to me too, I fixed it by removing the workloads folder and reinstalling salad

I don't wanna start an agurment so let's end it here anyway.
subtle condor
For manually starting sgs-client?
stiff wedge
na
subtle condor
Or just making it work on general
subtle condor
Do you have the bandwidth folder in the workload folder?
stiff wedge
yeah ive put it manually
i got it working by adding all the files it needs
like the workloads one and the logs one
stiff wedge
i got it working by adding all the files it needs
and did this
will tell if it works
upbeat shuttle
you didn't add the arguments required
stiff wedge
how do i add them
upbeat shuttle
you need at least server_host_port and machine_id, which can be found in your logs when Salad starts sgs-client
upbeat shuttle
welp
subtle condor
welp x2
upbeat shuttle
you can only get your machine ID when Salad starts it at least one time
subtle condor
you need at least `server_host_port` and `machine_id`, which can be found in you...
or, if it's easier, in taskmanager
stiff wedge
if it does how to i set them up
upbeat shuttle
the same as it shows in the logs
uncut bluff
wait does manually starting it work?
upbeat shuttle
something like sgs-client.exe -machine_id {id} -server_address {address}
uncut bluff
as i have my machine id
subtle condor
-machine_id xxx -server_host_port sgs-rose-gateway.salad.com:443 was mine
uncut bluff
stiff wedge
oh wait lemme try something
subtle condor
Has everyone had success with manually starting it though
stiff wedge
Has everyone had success with manually starting it though
its still missingn
but its in the log files
i think the problem is sgs-client.exe is not reading what is in the logs file
or maybe its not even starting
uncut bluff
something like `sgs-client.exe -machine_id {id} -server_address {address}`
it said invalid syntax when using -server_address so I changed that too -server_host_port and it looks like its working now
i will leave it running and see if i get any jobs
stiff wedge
i got it running by enabling and disabling cpu like we all know
you just have to keep trying

is there a way to start bandwidth sharing via cmd?

there is, but it won't help if this is whats happening

Does bandwidth boost earnings? (I don't really understand what is it)
upbeat shuttle
yeah you earn from sharing your bandwidth
bold flicker
how?
upbeat shuttle
If you're in the US, UK, or Germany, you'll see a toggle to enable bandwidth sharing in the Performance tab in Salad
gleaming wraith
is there a way to start bandwidth sharing via cmd
subtle condor
yes
subtle condor
you can run it from command line, but you'll need the machine id
gleaming wraith
i’m thinking, do you even need the salad client installed
because there’s things like saladbind
they just fetch ur config details and use a custom miner and pool
subtle condor
yes you do, because you need to get machine id from running bandwidth sharing from salad
upbeat shuttle
You still need Salad to initially generate your ID
gleaming wraith
you can run it from command line, but you'll need the machine id
what are the parameters
subtle condor
something like sgs-client.exe -machine_id {id} -server_address {address}
gleaming wraith
where do we get the server address from?
subtle condor
You can get them from taskmanager or process explorer or something
upbeat shuttle
And if Salad ever changes the address that it uses, or decides to change your ID after a certain period of time, you'll be a bit screwed
subtle condor
yea lol
gleaming wraith
And if Salad ever changes the address that it uses, or decides to change your ID...
that’s fucking shit

sgs-rose-gateway.salad.com:443 is this your server host port?

mhm
gleaming wraith
yeah then probably same region = same server host port
gleaming wraith
did you allow sgs-client through firewall?
also which version of salad are you on
gleaming wraith
Why are you asking that
because my earnings with bandwidth sharing weren't as high as everyone else
chilly peak
How much
You can check the bandwidth sharing log files and at the top should be the command salad is running
Just put that in cmd
gleaming wraith
0.00165 in 15 mins
gleaming wraith
You can check the bandwidth sharing log files and at the top should be the comma...
it says connected to server on 2nd line
and at the top the parameters
but that's in the logs
gleaming wraith
my salad earnings don't seem to be showing
sgs-client is using less than 1mb
and i've whitelisted it in my firewall
chilly peak
how long have you been waiting for
gleaming wraith
like 10 mins
chilly peak
you aren’t going to earn immediately
You earn as jobs are available and assigned to you
so some days you will get more jobs, some less
gleaming wraith
you aren’t going to earn immediately
i waited 30 mins once and sgs-client wasn't even in my workloads folder
chilly peak
but you’ve said you got the log files now right? So you have it now

- I've just experienced first-hand that the bandwidth speed test that Salad uses can sometimes just pick an absolutely awful server to test your speeds. Check your latest logs at
C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\ndmto see if it meets the minimum speeds - 10mbps for UK/DE, and 5mbps for US.
If the final result ('Download rate' and 'Upload rate') is not above this minimum, sgs-client.exe will not start. The best way to make Salad run this test again is by restarting your PC, as Salad only runs this bandwidth test on startup, and maybe at random every couple of hours.
If you have too many applications set to launch on system startup, this may negatively impact your speed test results. Try disabling some of them - especially ones that use your network, like Steam, Discord, Spotify, your browser, etc.
