Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[gleaming wraith]

let me tunnel to germany rq

and try bandwidth sharing

[tropic vortex]

can you teach me how to tunenl

[gleaming wraith]

speeds after

[gleaming wraith]

there is a cost in setting up a tunnel too

[tropic vortex]

how do you tunnel

[tropic vortex]

that's alright

[gleaming wraith]

like 20 cent per GB

that's not worth it lol

[tropic vortex]

i still want to know how

[gleaming wraith]

well first of all you need like

another device

on another ip

cos that's the point of tunnelling

[tropic vortex]

how

[gleaming wraith]

then u need to open port 22 on ur firewall (SSH)

[gleaming wraith]

u could use something like azure

[tropic vortex]

Can you give me full step by step instructions :D

[gleaming wraith]

if u don't have one

[tropic vortex]

nope you can't run salad on vms

[gleaming wraith]

mate i'll be having kids by the time i finish

[gleaming wraith]

and we're not doing that

we're just simply setting up a tunnel

salad is still running on ur real machine

oh yeah forgot

[tropic vortex]

we can't use bandwidth sharing on commercial wifi

[gleaming wraith]

azure is datacenter

[tropic vortex]

like the ones azure uses

[gleaming wraith]

in that case u can use a residential vpn on azure

but honestly

a triple vpn

mad

anyways

forget about azure

let's just say u had another device on another residential ip in some country that supported bandwidth sharing

u need to open port 22 on ur firewall and/or router settings

so yk how to access router settings u type 192.168.0.1 or whatever

it varies

then u login with ur user and password

u need to open the port there, it varies from router to router

[tropic vortex]

ya

[gleaming wraith]

i think there's a way on windows without router settings

i don't recall tho

or am sure it even works

[tropic vortex]

alr ;/

[gleaming wraith]

bare in mind this does leave ur network vulnerable

so do at ur own risk

opening ports in general

anyways, if ur on a windows device then u need to install something called openssh server

see google

from there use another device, connect to it via SSH using putty

[tropic vortex]

yep I won't take the risk

[gleaming wraith]

and in putty options

12345 can be anything u want

basically 127.0.0.1:12345 (or localhost:12345) will essentially be a tunnel to the remote device

[tropic vortex]

I've got almost 200k in some investing things online

i don't want to lose tht

[gleaming wraith]

and u can use something like proxifier to route ur traffic to it

basically my advice would be forget everything i said

because the costs will probably be more than the profits

[tropic vortex]

yep

especially if it gets compromised

[gleaming wraith]

my bidir throughput is just 0 now

on my own ip

think bandwidth sharing died

[tropic vortex]

rip

[gleaming wraith]

anyone else?

[tropic vortex]

eh how do you check

[gleaming wraith]

go to C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\Bandwidth-SGS-UK

and ur most recent log

[tropic vortex]

yep, mine is 0 too

[gleaming wraith]

so bandwidth sharing isn't working for u either

[tropic vortex]

yep

I'm in UK

[gleaming wraith]

that's annoying

u sure it still works

[upbeat shuttle]

just wanna remind you guys that latency is also a pretty big factor in if you'll get jobs or not

[tropic vortex]

really?

interesting

so ip tunneling would be a bad idea

[subtle condor]

why might bandwidth sharing had stopped for a few people?

[tropic vortex]

probs less jobs

[subtle condor]

yea, and more users

[idle wing]

Yeah my bidir throughput is 0 too

It was working fine until ~3:30 am for me

Then 0

[tropic vortex]

Same

[tropic vortex]

timezone?

[idle wing]

Cst USA

[gleaming wraith]

not quite because i set up a tunnel and got the same earnings

same country ofc

and all nodes involved have 1000Mb/s both ways

[upbeat shuttle]

I said it's a part in the overall decision

[stiff wedge]

man u didnt have to ping me for that, and yes it still works

[gleaming wraith]

this is just cruel lol

why's it not working for most people now

[frigid reef]

There is most likely just a lot less traffic due to the World Cup ending

[idle wing]

good news it seems like my sgs-client is now using some bandwidth

[stiff wedge]

There’s nothing cruel
Less traffic = less user’s internet needed

[idle wing]

how much bandwidth was used in your case?

[stiff wedge]

Idk lol

[idle wing]

i think it used ~10 gb for ~5 cents or so for me 😭

[gleaming wraith]

F

better than honeygain using 200mb in a day and being paid 4 cent

in a day

not an hour or few hours

[kindred helm]

honeygain was shit to begin with, but now its even shittier

[subtle condor]

^

salad on top 💪

[gleaming shell]

It dosent work on vpn sadly

[peak terrace]

using a vpn goes against the whole point of bandwidth sharing

the thing salad is selling to companies is streaming relays from residential IPs

if you use a VPN that's not a residential IP

[frigid reef]

There are legit residential ip vpns…

[tropic vortex]

would they work on Salad

I don't rlly need one tbh

[frigid reef]

No idea

[tropic vortex]

ah

alr

np

[gleaming wraith]

yes they do

i don't see how it's salad problem if ur using vpn for bandwidth sharing

at the end of the day salad just cares if it's residential ip

which it is

[tropic vortex]

latency

idk

[gleaming wraith]

ok if the latency was so bad maybe the earnings would be slightly lower than without vpn

but it doesn't stop u from getting jobs

[tropic vortex]

not sure, maybe salad promised their client low latency

or smth

[gleaming wraith]

then u wont get jobs simple

or less jobs

[tropic vortex]

no jobs, yes that's what's happening right now

[gleaming wraith]

that's a salad problem

not to do with u using a vpn

[tropic vortex]

exactly, when you use a vpn, you don't get jobs

[gleaming wraith]

no

[tropic vortex]

it is salad's problem, therefore they don't give you jobs

[gleaming wraith]

atm we're not getting jobs

regardless of vpn or not

but if we go back to a time where jobs were coming in hot

[tropic vortex]

because there aren't enough jobs, and likely more users!

[gleaming wraith]

no problem if ur using residential vpn

[tropic vortex]

yes, LATENCY BRUH

[frigid reef]

me who is getting jobs

[tropic vortex]

exactly

there aren't no jobs

just less jobs

probably

[frigid reef]

due to the latency of using a vpn it can lead to you not getting the jobs

[tropic vortex]

idk how this guy isn't understanding this lol

nova can you drive some sense into him

[gleaming wraith]

we were talking about if it was possible to get jobs using a residential vpn

i'm saying it is POSSIBLE

[tropic vortex]

Let me set it out clearly to you

[gleaming wraith]

i confirmed it myself

no no

it's fine

[tropic vortex]

basically it increases latency, salad only sells jobs below that latency, therefore your abndwidth doesnt get sold (my theory)

[frigid reef]

no you are wrong, if salad detects it as a normal user its bandwidth can be sold though due to latency it has a less likely chance of getting those sgs workloads

[tropic vortex]

kind of what i meant

i phrased mine badly ig

[gleaming wraith]

u might want to delete that

it has ur ip

[kindred helm]

no way

[idle wing]

ha this is proof I'm drunk atm

[kindred helm]

ip = your credit card information

[idle wing]

fr

even if I don't have one but my future credit card info

[gleaming wraith]

loving the jobs

[idle wing]

same

[tropic vortex]

fr fr

[tropic vortex]

This is pure pain

which is why I don't looking at my bandwidth logs recently lol

[potent elm]

Why in other countries the download is very high but the upload is trash

[upbeat shuttle]

that's how our ISPs cheap out on us

since most people will use more download than upload, they give us less upload speeds to cut out on some costs

[tulip jolt]

plus the avg person doesnt need that much upload

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

[ornate hedge]

Canada when

[upbeat shuttle]

Canada isn't real

next question

[tulip jolt]

define a canada

[analog patio]

What is a Canada?

An ice cream flavor or what

[stiff wedge]

I think it’s a McDonald’s special fries flavour

[subtle condor]

you're calling 100 Mbps upload bad....?

[tropic vortex]

I think he means compared to your upload

[gleaming wraith]

no jobs still?

[frigid reef]

are you in usa?

[gleaming wraith]

uk

[frigid reef]

sussy, what do your logs say?

[gleaming wraith]

0

x 100000000

i haven't bothered checking today

[frigid reef]

anyway im getting jobs, guess you just gotta wait longer

[subtle condor]

💔

[pulsar arrow]

wait for salad to land some contracts with big companies I guess

[subtle condor]

true

[tropic vortex]

nordvpn

lol

[junior shoal]

what if

saladvpn

i mean, its "Possible" in some way, but i dont think it will ever happen

[idle wing]

this is weird asf. I restarted my pc and then bandwidth just stopped giving logs

saw ppl saying to toggle gpu + cpu mining and it still hasn't given logs for ~1 day

[kindred helm]

it's so confusing for me

[tulip jolt]

frfr ong nc

[idle wing]

installed it again and the bandwidth folder isn't even showing up

💀

[tulip jolt]

worst decisiom tbh

[stiff wedge]

Check ndm logs

Is upload speed more than 10

Or 5 in the US

[idle wing]

yes it's 90

2022-12-24 09:57:27.244 -06:00 [INF] Download rate: 309.21 Mbps
2022-12-24 09:57:42.175 -06:00 [INF] Upload rate: 92.33 Mbps

weirdly enough it worked while I was connected to ethernet and when I took it off of ethernet it stopped working

[stiff wedge]

Well then

Keep trying

It is so luck based

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd recommend checking out the pinned Troubleshooting Guide / FAQs thoroughly, if you haven't already

[idle wing]

hm i'm just gonna wait to see if it starts to work

AYYY IT'S ONLINE

[gleaming wraith]

question is if ur actually earning

[idle wing]

don't think so but at least it's online

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[junior shoal]

at first i thought you were doxxing someone

[kindred helm]

[idle wing]

lmaooo

[potent elm]

yes? in my country for the 1 GBPS plan you get both download and upload gigabit speeds

[chilly peak]

well that’s great but 100mbps upload isn’t that bad

[gleaming wraith]

in fact 30 is good

there’s people that live on 1

[frigid reef]

mate some people live on 0

[kindred helm]

yeah sure

[pulsar arrow]

some people live in the negatives, they download

[tropic vortex]

[lavish glen]

in fact i refuse to accept anything lower than 50

[gleaming wraith]

oh we were talking about upload

10 upload is good

30 download is good

[junior shoal]

are you serious?

can you even get bandwidth jobs with 10 upload?

[pulsar arrow]

imagine 10

I got a free upgrade to 22 up

[gleaming wraith]

yes

well

i have 20 rn

but before i had 30 down and 10 up like 3 years ago

[surreal talon]

i average 300-500 up and bandwidth doesnt work for me

[tropic vortex]

rip

[upbeat shuttle]

oof

are you in the US?

[surreal talon]

ye

[pulsar arrow]

explains why

[lavish glen]

no bandwidth sharing

[pulsar arrow]

salad just team up with tiktok bro infinite bandwith jobs

[idle wing]

Or YouTube

[upbeat shuttle]

while that would be really nice, I personally doubt that Salad will attract the attention of bigger companies like Google for some time, at least

[lavish glen]

google is going a littl far but i could see tiktok being interested, miss

[idle wing]

wtf salad used a server where my download was 90 while my upload was 340 mb/s 💀

[peak terrace]

very asymmetrical innit

[gleaming wraith]

bandwidth sharing has been officially fucked in the UK at least

[old compass]

?

i have no problems with it

[gleaming wraith]

UK?

[old compass]

but it is indeed a little slow

yes uk

[gleaming wraith]

are you getting jobs

[old compass]

im getting jobs yea

[gleaming wraith]

wtf

then why am i not getting jobs

i was getting jobs before and now it's just endless 0s

[gleaming wraith]

no then ur not getting jobs

[old compass]

im getting them#

[gleaming wraith]

no

C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\Bandwidth-SGS-UK

[old compass]

thats impossible

[gleaming wraith]

open the most recent log file

[old compass]

bc im still earning from it

[gleaming wraith]

and look where it says bidirthroughput

anything where there's a 0 means no jobs

[old compass]

which log?

[gleaming wraith]

the latest one

date modified 26

[old compass]

cant find that

but i know for sure its working bc im getting salad balance

[gleaming wraith]

Bandwidth-SGS-UK-20221226_[random numbers]

random number after

[old compass]

oh ok

damn its say 0 but im still get money

[gleaming wraith]

how much

[old compass]

and sgs is doing its thing

[old compass]

hold on lemme check

[gleaming wraith]

if ur really getting jobs task manager will say network usage for sgs is abnormally high like 20mb/s

[old compass]

atleast 2 cents every 15 minutes

[gleaming wraith]

wtf

i'm so baffed

scroll down to the bottom of the log

[gleaming wraith]

and check

[stiff wedge]

Stop wtfing I’m still getting jobs

I’m also uk

[old compass]

the only zeros are on errorrate and ttfb

[gleaming wraith]

bidirthroughput anything that's not 0 means getting jobs

sigh

idk why this is happening

it was working fine a few days ago

[old compass]

idk brother

[gleaming wraith]

like 22nd it stopped working

[old compass]

do you run salad 24/7

[gleaming wraith]

no

[old compass]

hmm

are you running it rn

[gleaming wraith]

no

usually i get jobs in like 2 mins

[old compass]

try run it for a bit

[gleaming wraith]

left it for an hour

[stiff wedge]

the point of bandwidth sharing is to be consistent

try running it longer

[old compass]

im still getting jobs

BidirThroughput":16701547.733333332

[stiff wedge]

you'll start getting jobs

[old compass]

thats what it says

[stiff wedge]

like this yea?

[old compass]

yea

@gleaming wraith is the one that currently has an issue with bandwidth

[stiff wedge]

skull issue detected 💀

[old compass]

mines fine

i run bandwidth almost all the time

[gleaming wraith]

which salad version are u guys using

[stiff wedge]

latest?

not beta

[gleaming wraith]

beta 2?

oh

i'm using beta

[old compass]

im using the container beta but im still getting money with bandwidth

[gleaming wraith]

i don't see how that's a problem tho

[old compass]

i know that bc i switch container off when im gaming

so i know bandwidth for sure works

[stiff wedge]

na dont think it is

[old compass]

beta isnt problem

[stiff wedge]

its just funky bandwidth sharing

[old compass]

maybe his computer is skill issueing

[stiff wedge]

yeah

computer going bye bye not being able to download anything

[old compass]

@stiff wedge hows your earnings recently btw

mine have been better

[stiff wedge]

going up and down from yesterday

others are around $0.02 to 0.03 every 15 mins

[old compass]

also how miuch did you earn on your best day recently

[stiff wedge]

around $1.5-1.7 a day

[old compass]

yeah thats what i have

[stiff wedge]

1.7

[old compass]

yea

[stiff wedge]

used to make $5 a day (when its first out lol)

:sob:

[old compass]

what did you used to do

[stiff wedge]

same stuff

there was more jobs

and better jobs

maybe for testings

[old compass]

after my first 4 dollars i was afraid my earnings would be terrible bc no more x2 but its been good

[stiff wedge]

i spent the x2 boost on my old ass laptop

cpu mining

making like $0.05 a day

LOL

[old compass]

well atleast you get x2 up to 4 dollars no matter how good pc you use

[stiff wedge]

free $2

[old compass]

i used to make 1 cent after 8 hours of cpu mining

now i run bandwidth and container and im making a decent amount

i dont really use container often tho

[stiff wedge]

never really mine since jan 2022

not worth it imo

not with container ofc

container is worth

[old compass]

worth what?

i mean containers doubled my bandwidth earning

i use salad to help pay for my youtube premium

[stiff wedge]

container makes more than how much you need to pay for electricity bill

more than how much ur pc actually uses

[old compass]

yeah container gives you a fixed rate of 1 dollar a day atm

[stiff wedge]

so its an up

[stiff wedge]

does it still??

wow

[old compass]

yeah while its beta

hopefully it stays in beta

bc rn the 1 dollar fixed means everyone has a chance for money

but full release and it will be harder

my ryzen 5 will be dying

[stiff wedge]

rip

[old compass]

but rn things are good with salad

[gleaming wraith]

what if i reinstall salad

probably not going to work

[old compass]

its not replacement for job

[old compass]

its worth a try

but as i was saying it doesnt replace a job

but its still a little extra money

[peak terrace]

It's fine for me

[potent elm]

is this good?

[upbeat shuttle]

that's pretty nice, yeah

[tropic vortex]

why do i get only a tenth of my download as my upload

[junior shoal]

did you know its easy to remove that red line, right?

even easier if it was a black line

[tropic vortex]

how?

[potent elm]

just hiding the server region :)

[chilly peak]

@upbeat shuttle

https://support.salad.com/article/295-bandwidth-sharing-quick-troubleshooting-guide

doesnt have much but it's there

[stiff wedge]

They didn’t mention why sgs client won’t turn on even though it is needed to queue for job

[upbeat shuttle]

rip, it contains everything I have already

and I have more detail

I'll add it anyways

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth be popping off today

[idle wing]

i literally can't relate when my salad app doesn't even have a bandwidth folder

[pulsar arrow]

oh yeah i had the same problem

i had to eventually reinstall windows

and restart my router a couple of times

but the windows reinstall is probably what fixed it

it started after i reinstalled salad one day

[idle wing]

interesting

[idle wing]

like clean install or just running the iso

[pulsar arrow]

I basically did a clean reset

from the settings

[idle wing]

ah okok

[analog patio]

Wut

[analog patio]

me usin 1gbps mobile data

[potent elm]

mobile data sucks

terrible packetloss and latency

[analog patio]

Wat

[tropic vortex]

That normally happens when you fail lthe NDM test and it never passes

Open your latest ndm log

and tell me the very last number at the bottom

the upload speed

[pulsar arrow]

Why on earth would salad not install the bandwidth folder for failing the speed test

i had less than 10mbps before and it still installed

then one time it didn't

[idle wing]

2022-12-27 10:02:32.461 -06:00 [INF] Upload rate: 88.78 Mbps

[idle wing]

oh wait it's there now

although it doesn't have the logs right now due to a windows update restarting my computer

[gleaming wraith]

btw i figured out why bandwidth sharing stopped for a few people

kinda like container being capped to one

except this is more brutal and blocks u completely on ur account

on my friend’s account it worked great

so i guess there’s limited jobs now

(and in no way am i saying go make alt accounts because salad will probably catch onto that)

[upbeat shuttle]

mmmm

unless if you're intentionally being malicious, I don't think that Salad would do that..

you're placed in a queue, basically. People with better speeds, latency, stability will be prioritised in that queue

there's a different queue for each region - and there may even be different queues within those queues that I do not have enough knowledge to talk about atm

anyways, that's why people in the US have been struggling to get jobs / sgs-client to run, whereas people in other countries have had it easier

there's plenty of supply in the US / not enough demand

[idle wing]

fr

[frigid reef]

Also a lot of the suppliers are still testing/optimising to get the most out of the salad network, so more traffic could come soon - reworded but Kyle said it

[idle wing]

i am so looking forward to that

[upbeat shuttle]

hehe

that'll be nice

less than a month until I can get up to 2 gigabit symmetrical

[idle wing]

wait what

2 gb?

😭

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm not gonna go for that immediately ofc

probably just 450 symmetrical

[frigid reef]

Wanna trade

[upbeat shuttle]

no

L

[frigid reef]

:(

[idle wing]

i think at&t is symmetrical

though it never shows it in the test unfortunately

[upbeat shuttle]

sounds like it isn't symmetrical then :)

[idle wing]

they say it is

salad test btw

it's like ~200-300 download and ~100 upload

~200 if salad chooses a good server

[thin hare]

Any US users having problems with bandwidth ?

I did everything mentioned in the pins, ndm shows ~ 3000mbps download rate

but sgs client doesn't start

infact its not even there in the workloads folder

[peak terrace]

Librespeed is currently down

It only connects to the Amsterdam server and then fails

On multiple devices and both broadband and 5G

[gleaming wraith]

are u residential ip

ipburger.com/ip

check here

if not residential wont work

[peak terrace]

i did not know that site existed

i am glad i know of it now

[gleaming wraith]

it seems salad uses that site

[peak terrace]

Ikea uses a residential IP

[gleaming wraith]

hold on

a shop has a residential ip?

damn

i'ma go set up a raspberry pi in every shop now

running salad bandwidth sharing

[tulip jolt]

most dont i think

[tropic vortex]

?

rlly?

[gleaming wraith]

also did bandwidth sharing stop for u guys

ndm only checking amsterdam

[gleaming wraith]

and bandwidth sharing stopped too i presume

[tropic vortex]

ye obviously

[upbeat shuttle]

mine's still going strong

getting pretty nice earnings actually :3

[tropic vortex]

yep, people who start now wont get it

librespeed servers down

so no speed test

then no jobs

[gleaming wraith]

salad L

they could just use speedtest

[upbeat shuttle]

i feel like there was probably a good reason why Salad used librespeed rather than ookla's speed test

[idle wing]

same

[gleaming wraith]

really? that’s right, to make fewer jobs available to people like us

[stiff wedge]

lmao stop complaining

there are reasons behind everything

[frigid reef]

was most likely due to legal stuff

[tulip jolt]

librespeeds servers are having issues it must be salads fault and trying to save money!!!

[pulsar arrow]

they wouldn't do that since salads revenue is based on us actually getting paid

[worn lichen]

I live in Germany i have 100 download 50 upload 10 ping when I start bandwidth sharing or mining whatever it’s called no application uses any network in the taskbar only salad with 0.1

[ebon shuttle]

this keeps coming up and no sgs client

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd recommend thoroughly reading through the pinned troubleshooting / faqs posts if you haven't already

[thorn lantern]

where is thta ?

that

[upbeat shuttle]

[thorn lantern]

found em

[ebon shuttle]

i need more red arrows

[upbeat shuttle]

Known issue - Bandwidth Sharing not starting in UK/US (and maybe other regions)
Issue seems to be resolved now. Keeping message pinned for a couple days just in case.
||It looks like one (or more) of the speed test servers are currently down, and Salad's logic doesn't know that it should just try a different server..
So far, it looks to be affecting people in the UK.
The logs for people being affected look very similar to this ^^ (See message I've replied to)
Anyone already running Bandwidth Sharing in the UK should be fine, but if you restart it, it'll probably fail to run the speed test.||

[upbeat shuttle]

bet

[gleaming wraith]

u might want to edit that and say what causes ndm to restart. e.g restarting pc, restarting saladbowl service, logging out and back in of windows i think

[ebon shuttle]

that does nothing

[gleaming wraith]

it's not a fix

it's what will stop it from working if it's still working for u

[stiff wedge]

My pc restarted itself for windows update

No more money for me lol

[pulsar arrow]

just disable the auto update

i havent updated since 2021

[stiff wedge]

I did

It still restarted

Got scammed by windows

[pulsar arrow]

dsiable the 3rd option

its in check for updates -> advanced settings

[upbeat shuttle]

oh my

[stiff wedge]

That’s what I did

[pulsar arrow]

a

[ebon shuttle]

what did the official mods say

@upbeat shuttle

??

[upbeat shuttle]

?

[ebon shuttle]

what did the offical mods say about the bandwith issue

[upbeat shuttle]

ah I haven't had a response yet

[frigid reef]

pretty sure most staff are out of the office till next year

[ebon shuttle]

😡

but next yearis tmr

[stiff wedge]

But tmr is 31/12

[stiff wedge]

Somehow I got it work

[pulsar arrow]

im glad i decided not to restart my pc yesterday

im getting tons of revenue from bandwidth

prob cus lots of people are having issues with bandwidth

[upbeat shuttle]

hehe

I had to plan my network upgrade today around making sure that my laptop doesn't get disconnected

[pulsar arrow]

[idle wing]

how much are you getting

[upbeat shuttle]

atm with 2 containers and bandwidth sharing, I'm peaking at 6.7c/15m

[idle wing]

damnnn

so like ~6.5 dollars a day

if it keeps on being at peak

[upbeat shuttle]

it's averaging out to be roughly $5 a day

up until a couple days ago, it was just $2-3 a day

[pseudo fog]

cries in Brazil

[pulsar arrow]

has anyone heard from the Devs about the librespeed issue

[stiff wedge]

Nope but I got my sgs client running

Idk how lol

[tropic vortex]

wdym that does nothing

they make ndm restart

[pulsar arrow]

damn, I was tryna set up another device on a diff ip but couldn't do so

[pulsar arrow]

it does make it restart but salad keeps reconnecting to the same broken servers

[gleaming shell]

does anyone here have a bandwidth job in the us

everyone seems to be in the uk

[upbeat shuttle]

bri'ish gang

[stiff wedge]

and im getting jobs lol

[pulsar arrow]

u in the UK?

[stiff wedge]

yeah

im so lucky

[pulsar arrow]

can I see ur ndm logs by any chance lol

I wanna know if it switched to a different server

[stiff wedge]

theres nothing there

[gleaming shell]

damn, im here suffering in the us
no bandwidth jobs in months

[stiff wedge]

the last time it tested was 4/11

[gleaming shell]

boutta move just for the bandwidth jos

bs

jobns

[pulsar arrow]

salad could pay for the ticket

[pulsar arrow]

lmfaooo u got really lucky

[stiff wedge]

ikr

hope librespeed or whatever its called get it fixed soon

[pulsar arrow]

my logs are filled with 'failed to connect's

[stiff wedge]

lmao gg

[pulsar arrow]

oh well atleast one ofthems working

shouldn't get too greedy

[stiff wedge]

:P

shower byebye

[pulsar arrow]

bye

[subtle condor]

Same, I thought librespeed would auto switch the server if it fails to connect

[pulsar arrow]

still hasnt been fixed and salad support says the 'exact' same what ozua said

[stiff wedge]

salad website support kinda mid

i asked 2 different people for the sgs client not running problem

and they both answer me the same thing which is i have to be in those countries and need to have it enabled

and both of them cant type good english

lol

[pulsar arrow]

ye samee

they took so long to realize i knew shit about salad and actually look into the matter

[subtle condor]

how are you guys having bad experiences with Salad support!? For me they responded within less than a day and were professional and they fixed my issue :3

[upbeat shuttle]

suppose there's different levels of skill

and if they can actually be bothered to learn the support guides they're given

particularly with discovering new issues that aren't documented yet - in which case they should move the ticket to higher level support

[pulsar arrow]

hire me salad

[subtle condor]

That's fair enough, still never had any bad experiences with the support lol

[pulsar arrow]

still no fix to the issue

I thought there was a London server aswell, why would it not connect to that since I'm closer to that than amsterdam

[idle wing]

same

[hollow vortex]

2022-12-30 18:35:02.411 -05:00 [INF] Selected server Amsterdam, Netherlands (Clouvider) (ams.speedtest.clouvider.net) is not responding at the moment, try again later

how come it says this?

[upbeat shuttle]

It's a known issue - at least to us - and we're awaiting a response / solution from Salad

[hollow vortex]

im in the US , not the UK as the pinned message says

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

well that's definitely the same error message that people have been saying

[idle wing]

it mentions (and other regions) which definitely does

[upbeat shuttle]

indeed

[idle wing]

although all I've heard from are UK and US

don't know about other regions where bandwidth is supported

[upbeat shuttle]

I haven't heard anyone from other regions complaining about it not working

yet

I'll add the US to the pinned message just to quell any future people

[idle wing]

only if they could fix it

[pulsar arrow]

Yoo it's fixed

librespeed works now

salad switched to London servers for the speedtest

[stiff wedge]

gg

[upbeat shuttle]

for real?

[upbeat shuttle]

@ebon shuttle @tropic vortex @hollow vortex ^^
Is it working for you guys now too?

[gleaming wraith]

yep it is

UK

[upbeat shuttle]

:o

[gleaming wraith]

@subtle condor is bandwidth still not working for you?

like bidirthroughput 0

[hollow vortex]

seems to be

[subtle condor]

Yeah, it is actually 😅

now that it works Ima just keep my pc on lmao

It was running container for the whole night, but I enabled bandwidth sharing and it's actually working :D

happy happy happy

[hollow vortex]

9tb bandwith?

[subtle condor]

Before, when it was working consistently that's how much bandwidth it'd use in a month lul

[hollow vortex]

I noticed - rebooting : lib does a speed test when not even running salad lol.

[hollow vortex]

suppose to have 1 gig, i got jippped haha

[gleaming wraith]

it's quite annoying

just eats into ur bandwidth unnecesarilly

they could just do it every time u toggle bandwidth sharing

[hollow vortex]

dont care that much sinse im not capped. but.

[gleaming wraith]

trying bandwidth sharing then?

since containers aren't working

[hollow vortex]

yeah, waiting for official support to email me back on my logs.

[gleaming wraith]

hopefully it gets fixed

[hollow vortex]

hope so.

[tropic vortex]

yep it is uk

[idle wing]

works for me

in US btw

did it ~5.5 hours ago

although the folder still doesn't show up

[hollow vortex]

well bandwith sharing is working.

so do you get paid for how much data is transferred or for how long they use your bandwith ? what determines the price point.

[subtle condor]

How much data I believe

[hollow vortex]

need an option we can set our own price per gb 😉

[upbeat shuttle]

We get paid for the amount of data, yeah

[hollow vortex]

looking about 2cents a gig

[idle wing]

if and only if salad would install the bandwidth folder

then again I'm in US so that might be something that affects it

[hollow vortex]

bandwith folder? what u mean

[pulsar arrow]

salad doesnt even install the required bandwidth sharing files for them

[hollow vortex]

i cant find anything on the pay rate - for data- is that in the works?

[idle wing]

yse that

[hollow vortex]

shows in mine

[idle wing]

it might be bc i'm in US and there aren't many jobs in the US

though I have no idea either

[hollow vortex]

^^^^^ im in the us - if you see my bandwith text file says US . ......

just means you haven't picked up a bandwith job - so no logs need to be created

the dude using mine atm been going for a few hours st8 lol

[idle wing]

hm ok

idk it ran for like 5 days straight one time without creating the folder so-

[potent elm]

can anyone tell make how much approx. SB i can make every 15 minutes with these speeds?

[gleaming shell]

Woah
Actually working bandwidth sharing in the US?

[idle wing]

depends on how many jobs you get

[gleaming shell]

I'm in the US with potato speeds so I can't get any bandwidth jobs

[gleaming shell]

Faster upload then download

cool

[idle wing]

2022-12-31 04:23:14.474 -06:00 [INF] Download rate: 365.42 Mbps

2022-12-31 04:23:30.081 -06:00 [INF] Upload rate: 94.25 Mbps

i have these and still don't have any jobs

[gleaming shell]

I'm definitely not gonna a get a job anytime soon then

[idle wing]

i got jobs like once

it was for ~5 hours

made like 3 cents and somehow sgs shared over 10 gb

[gleaming shell]

I've only gotten a bandwidth job twice
And that was when it was still in beta

[idle wing]

then never again it happened

[gleaming shell]

I haven't gotten a job since October

[idle wing]

i think i got one 2 weeks ago

[gleaming shell]

I got one over 2 months ago

[upbeat shuttle]

iirc, it'll vary depending on the region and supply and demand

which is probably why they haven't given an exact pay rate

[thorn lantern]

i got one today

i roughly earning 5-6/15 min plus conatiner

[idle wing]

noiceee

[hollow vortex]

yeah, the pay for gb of data seems lil weak imo

[hollow vortex]

got about 6 cents for around 6.5 gig .

[thorn lantern]

how can u check

the amount u sent

[hollow vortex]

might not be 100% accur - check network details - list what apps/programs use and how much data - when u notice u got a bandwith job - check ur earings - and just eye up 1 gig and see what the difference is -

[hollow vortex]

such as libspeed example .

[thorn lantern]

are u on task manger or what

[hollow vortex]

i also use killer app, to monitior speeds - no windows feature

[pulsar arrow]

Better than me probably if you get lucky with jobs, im earning 3-4 cents every 15mins

what region are you in

[hollow vortex]

when the log shows you you got a bandwith job - but no data is being transferred - normal?

[tulip jolt]

are you earning

[hollow vortex]

no - so i took a look at my logs -

[tulip jolt]

what region are you in

[hollow vortex]

its there - active - but no data transferring . US

1st is the first one - second is just a few mins ago.

[tulip jolt]

i suggest you look at the pins for more info also it looks like some people in US are also having problems getting jobs

[hollow vortex]

apparently you didnt understand _ Currently HAVE a JOB - just not transferring data atm.

[tulip jolt]

you know it creates logs even if you dont have jobs right

go into the log and check the bidirthroughtput and check if the number is zero if its zero then it means you are not sharing data

[hollow vortex]

gotcha- so why create log ?

[tulip jolt]

because its good for troubleshooting

[gleaming wraith]

bidir throughput 0 means no jobs

[idle wing]

Does the bandwidth sharing usually create a textfile when you start it or when you first get a job

[gleaming wraith]

when sgs client starts

so not necessarily when u get a job

[idle wing]

ah ok

time to wait

hm this is a problem. In C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads, sgs-client is not seen there.

I'm assuming it installs itself sometime or another

[gleaming wraith]

go on ipburger.com/ip and check ur ip type

it needs to be residentials

[idle wing]

yeah it's residential

[gleaming wraith]

USA?

also if you just started it give it a few mins

[idle wing]

although why tf does it say I'm in Missouri?

[gleaming shell]

For me sgs client eventually installed automatically (2 months ago tho)

[gleaming wraith]

if it doesn't start then toggle on and off cpu

[idle wing]

i'm not even in Missouri

[upbeat shuttle]

I am pretty sure that will not work

[frigid reef]

yes that dosent work

yes it runs, but no one has got jobs while running in that way

[idle wing]

oh

imma just delete that before someone follows the guide and comes raging in like: "I FOLLOWED THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO GET SGS-CLIENT.EXE RUNNING AND IT AIN'T GIVING ME JOBS"

[upbeat shuttle]

hehe

[idle wing]

i don't feel like dealing with that shit even if I'm in the wrong

although my question is that would salad app (not cmd) use the downloaded sgs-client if it activates

[upbeat shuttle]

it doesn't matter if sgs-client.exe exists or not - if it isn't there when Salad decides it's time to start working, it'll just download it

[idle wing]

ah ok tyty

[upbeat shuttle]

downloading sgs-client isn't the issue - the issue is getting Salad to recognise that your PC and network connection is suitable, which then assigns you the bandwidth sharing workload

[gleaming wraith]

better jobs bc of new year lol?

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

maybe, maybe not

definitely not as many jobs as when the world cup was on

though yeah, I'd probably expect an increase in jobs when there are worldwide events going on

especially ones that can be shared / watched online

[hollow vortex]

Does salad only allow 1 client to be connected to you at one time? If so - Some improvments to allow more then 1 client per IP would deff benefit those who have fiber 🙂

[upbeat shuttle]

You used to be able to have more than one PC per IP, but this was changed because people were abusing it / it was causing the network to mess up

I get what you mean, in that one PC may not be able to achieve the full potential of your ISP's speeds, but this was a change to serve the many, rather than the very few

[hollow vortex]

understandable - maybe a change in the future if the client base for bandwith demands are higher to please those who are buying the service.

[upbeat shuttle]

mmmm

I think you'd be better off upgrading your PC's networking capabilities to be able to handle what your ISP is providing, than hope that Salad will revert an intentional change to improve their network

[hollow vortex]

i have 1 gig fiber, i dont use 3/4 of it. on any giving day

[upbeat shuttle]

Ah well then any standard PC should be able to handle up to gigabit

[hollow vortex]

but what i am saying - or asking - Does salad allow you to have more then 1 bandwidth job at a time?

[pulsar arrow]

even WiFi too on modern devices

[pulsar arrow]

I haven't seen anyone do that, so I'd say no for now

[upbeat shuttle]

You are only able to have one device per IP, from what I've seen and personally tried

[hollow vortex]

not referring to 2 pcs same account /ISP . talking about receiving 2 or more highbandwidth jobs at one giving time ( simitaneiously )

[gleaming wraith]

that would probably be conflicting

and difficult to improvise

[hollow vortex]

how so? just more " incoming , and out going connections .

[gleaming wraith]

limited jobs

[pulsar arrow]

It could work, with two different accounts on different ips, since multiple container does work that way

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm not quite sure what you're asking.. If this isn't the answer you're looking for, then you'll have to explain what you mean a bit more

[hollow vortex]

I get that if its limited , but wasn't my question lol

[upbeat shuttle]

Remember you're not allowed multiple accounts lol

[pulsar arrow]

Same account, different ips on different machines

that's what they're asking

[gleaming wraith]

also it seems bandwidth sharing isn’t contributing to xp

at all

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah I already said that'd work

[pulsar arrow]

it should...

[pulsar arrow]

okay nice

[upbeat shuttle]

Though it seems they said that isn't what they were asking..

[gleaming wraith]

well it’s not

still stuck on 0xp

[pulsar arrow]

weird

are you getting earninfs

[gleaming wraith]

yep

maybe it’s only working for container idk

i’m not running container on my home laptop

[pulsar arrow]

no I've been doing bandwidth before container and I've gotten xp

[gleaming wraith]

8 cent but can’t even make a 5p donation lol

[pulsar arrow]

xp updates after like a set time I guess then?

[gleaming wraith]

no that’s dumb

[hollow vortex]

So lets say you " @upbeat shuttle are running salad bandwidth enabled " me and @gleaming wraith " are requestiong to use your bandwith at the same time , is it possible ? Or would one of us get directed to another " user to use there bandwidth "

[gleaming wraith]

waited several days

[gleaming wraith]

you can’t take multiple jobs at the same time

[pulsar arrow]

contact salad support since the CEO did say that xp would be used as a sort of 'trust system' in the future

in a stream

[hollow vortex]

its what i was asking, and why not if said client is stable and could handle i t:) and if that will come in the future.

[hollow vortex]

im also not getting xp for bandwidth sharing .

[gleaming wraith]

ur not getting jobs tho

i am

[hollow vortex]

I got a job earlier .

[pulsar arrow]

I've racked up 100k of xp with bw sharing alone

[hollow vortex]

they used 6.36 gig of my data. and no xp.

[pulsar arrow]

salad does use some bandwidth even if it means your not getting any jobs

[hollow vortex]

yes but not under sgs

[upbeat shuttle]

Assuming I've understood your question right, only being able to provide your bandwidth to one client at a time sounds quite inefficient, so I assume it is definitely capable of handling jobs from multiple different clients.

[pulsar arrow]

it like sometimes spikes to 10-15mbps and then goes back to 0

[gleaming wraith]

the spikes mean jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

Are you looking at the right XP? (Lifetime XP, not Season XP)

[pulsar arrow]

nah I'm currently getting about 50mbps stable on SGS client

[gleaming wraith]

if it’s going to 0.1 then it’s checking for new jobs and no new jobs

[pulsar arrow]

ive got no earnings somedays but sgs keeps spiking every 20 seconds or so

yesterday was gold I made 6 dollars

since nobody could do bw sharing cus of the crashed speedtest servers

[hollow vortex]

yeah its what i was asking, salad allow ME personally to get 3 jobs at once

[pulsar arrow]

Hopefully they implement those soon TinCan

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm just getting more and more confused

I'll just leave it at this - Salad isn't dumb, it'll use as much of your bandwidth as it wants to - which is often as much as it can.

[pulsar arrow]

He means relaying multiple streams of data from different sources at the same time for different services

[hollow vortex]

sgs dont use a dime on my end unless i have a job - even searching for a job.

[gleaming wraith]

you know what i find really odd

[upbeat shuttle]

That's hard to say, as we don't really have any in-depth details as to how Bandwidth Sharing works currently

[hollow vortex]

lol , okay sounds good

[gleaming wraith]

i stopped getting bandwidth jobs on my main account so i made another one to diagnose problems (not to cheat since i can’t redeem anyways nor did i use my referral code) and i got jobs

what’s puzzling is why am i not getting jobs

i stopped getting jobs at a similar time to a few other people

[hollow vortex]

demand isn't there?

[gleaming wraith]

clearly there is if it works on another account

[upbeat shuttle]

I don't feel like the account is the issue - more likely that you changed something else at the same time as you changed accounts

[pulsar arrow]

Prob yesterdays server crash getting resolved

[hollow vortex]

perhaps ping changed, or something

[gleaming wraith]

i reinstalled salad too and it didn’t work

funny how salad doesn’t have a log out option

[stiff wedge]

restarting pc?

[gleaming wraith]

been there done that

[gleaming wraith]

there’s no obvious config file either which stores the credentials

[stiff wedge]

also u cant have more than 1 account

[gleaming wraith]

deleted the token text file but that didn’t log me out

[gleaming wraith]

i know

[stiff wedge]

have u checked ur ip

[gleaming wraith]

yes it’s fine

[stiff wedge]

maybe its blacklisted on several websites?

[upbeat shuttle]

because you shouldn't ever have to log out

[gleaming wraith]

residential, not blacklisted

[stiff wedge]

lmao then idrk what is happening to you

[gleaming wraith]

i’ve been cursed

[stiff wedge]

im so not bothered to read previous messages

is sgs client running

[gleaming wraith]

yes

[hollow vortex]

i've hadnt had a job in hours - but im not really conconerned at this point. I see in my log file its searching for jobs.

[gleaming wraith]

bidirthroughput 0 on main account

[stiff wedge]

so its 0 in logs

hm

[gleaming wraith]

but fine on the new one

but i’m not getting xp

[stiff wedge]

bruh u dont need xp

[gleaming wraith]

so that means i can’t redeem anything

[stiff wedge]

oh

try stopping it and starting again

[gleaming wraith]

mate i have

[hollow vortex]

yes lifetime xp

[stiff wedge]

and also

my xp isnt increasing as well

[gleaming wraith]

i ran it several times, got jobs, got money

[stiff wedge]

its been stuck on 448,646

[stiff wedge]

for a week

[gleaming wraith]

does container increase earnings?

i mean

xp

[stiff wedge]

try

[gleaming wraith]

my laptop will turn into a heater if i try use containers lol

[stiff wedge]

try it for like a minute

and see if it goes up

[gleaming wraith]

i’m on my phone

[stiff wedge]

do it when u can ofc :skull:

[gleaming wraith]

i set up a little office with a bunch of pcs running salad

when i get back i’ll try it there

which is another week

[stiff wedge]

anyway

where can i get a raspberry pi

[gleaming wraith]

ebay?

[stiff wedge]

na hate ebay

[gleaming wraith]

ebay’s pretty nice for second hand stuff

just don’t go for the multichoice buys

[stiff wedge]

ye

ik

[gleaming wraith]

those ones love shitting on u

giving u the wrong configuration

right i’m off to bed

gn

[stiff wedge]

gn

[ebon shuttle]

nope

wait

it worked

yes i am so happy

[upbeat shuttle]

poggers

[ebon shuttle]

yes sir

[ebon shuttle]

thank u

3 nights i couldnt sleep

but now i can

[ebon shuttle]

how do u do that

[hollow vortex]

run libspeed exe but u could aslo look at ur log files

[ebon shuttle]

thx

[subtle condor]

YAY

[potent elm]

India ik its not there but i was wondering how much money i can make

[pulsar arrow]

were not sure about the rate so we don't know

atm more data shared = more Earnings

[gleaming wraith]

it fixed for u??

wow

[gleaming wraith]

fixed for me too

well uh

[subtle condor]

yeah, it is once again making almost 3.4$ a day

I don't need container anymore

[gleaming wraith]

welp

used to be like 2 cent

[subtle condor]

it will go up

just leave it on for a while

[gleaming wraith]

oh damn ur right

[hollow vortex]

for some reason librespeed jips me - only says my DL speed is 50 mb/s lol but yesterday it said i was 900 sigh lol

[subtle condor]

mhm

[reef linden]

imagine getting bandwidth jobs

[hollow vortex]

sgs hasn't downloaded sinse i did a fresh install and got container working 😕

[gleaming wraith]

u got container working? nicee

[hollow vortex]

yes lol finally

[gleaming wraith]

reinstall of windows huh

welp

ultimate cure to every problem but it’s a big sacrifice

[hollow vortex]

yep wsl was stuck on installing

Only reinstalled windows kept all my personal files.

cause i was too lazy to grab my external to back them up .

[hollow vortex]

dont see 2x earnings tho .

[gleaming wraith]

on ur dashboard it will say 1 cent on the graph with container

but ur earnings will actually be 2 cent when u check ur balance
