Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[subtle condor]

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

I'm reinstalling container 2

GPU workloads doesn't even affect me anyway rn

I got a mobile gpu

which they hinted wouldnt be supported for now

[subtle condor]

yea

[hollow vortex]

well i'll just have to wait for official support i suppose. 😦

FW.IPv6 FORWARD drop , 7426 Attempts, 2023/1/27 16:31:14 hmm lol

[pulsar arrow]

reinstalled salad beta 2

sgs popped up. but no earnings or bandwidth usage

[hollow vortex]

hows the log look ?

2023-01-27 16:59:37.267 -05:00 [INF] {"level":"info","ts":1674856777.2674406,"caller":"logger/timed-logger.go:235","msg":"timed stats","BidirThroughput":0,"ErrorRate":0.2,"TTFB":0,"NGPCsQZ":0,"NGPCsConnected":0,"NRoutes":0,"NNodesWithRoutes":0,"NRoutesLeastLoad":0,"NRoutesGreatestLoaded":0,"NGracePeriodReconns":0,"NHappyPathDisconns":0,"NErrorPathDisconns":0}
a diff message appeared lol

[hybrid delta]

has anyone got a job in the UK?

its almost been a week and i haven't got a job no matter what i try

yes i looked at pinned

[hollow vortex]

whats your log saying

[hybrid delta]

haven't checked the log yet, where do i find it?

How To Find Your Salad Logs!

Here is an up to date guide on how to locate your Log files!
https://support.salad.com/article/180-how-to-find-your-salad-log-files

[hybrid delta]

nvm i found it srry

[hollow vortex]

ok

[hybrid delta]

From what i can see it has successfully pinged a server and was downloading and uploading data

[hollow vortex]

check you bandwidth log

[hybrid delta]

Looks like is has connected to a server and is searching for jobs

[hollow vortex]

there you go , figured out your own issue. no jobs.

[hybrid delta]

alr

[hollow vortex]

anyone else have these errors yet? or what causes them ?

[upbeat shuttle]

nope those are new to me

ayo what

my bandwidth sharing earnings have been maxed out for the past 6.5 hours

which is very strange because exactly during that period, I was using up a solid 20-80 of my 150 download

?remindme 14h check it out?

[glacial fox]

I'll remind you on Jan 28, 2023 07:48, check it out?

[hollow vortex]

lol.

[pulsar arrow]

I haven't gotten any in the past 2 days

so ur not alone

[upbeat shuttle]

I mugged all of your jobs c:

[pulsar arrow]

[upbeat shuttle]

but yeah uhh I'm not really sure why it isn't working

my internet has been maxed out more often than usual lately, so they definitely have less nodes online / more demand than before..

[pulsar arrow]

Yeah, and it seems that salad is not addressing/known about this issue

lots of people earning record levels in #show-off-your-earnings

I was gonna test salads reliability by paying for my gym membership with it

reliability in earnings I mean

[hollow vortex]

i trans mine to paypal . bought some games on g2a lol. worked fine for me.

[pulsar arrow]

that's what I do too lol

I've earned more than 200 so far

60 or so from containers

anyways gn I can't be bothered to cry about an app

[hollow vortex]

same lol.

[subtle condor]

same

[safe loom]

@hollow vortex

how does your librespeed log look?

[hollow vortex]

looking amazing this morning

[upbeat shuttle]

omg i'm so jealous

[hollow vortex]

lmao - like wtf . Im starting to hate salad. and patience is running low. lol

[pulsar arrow]

install beta 2 then ig lol

[pulsar arrow]

true, my trust in them is declining aswell

[hollow vortex]

guess i'll find out monday on what those error messages mean in my banwidth log. havne't got any news back yet other then it was esculatedand sent to the backend team.

[frigid reef]

people: OMG MY SALAD ISNT WORKING WHEN THEY GONNA FIX
me: have you reported it in #official-support
THEM: NO IMA JUST WAIT FOR SALAD TO FIX IT
ME: **HOW ARE THEY GONNA FIX IT IF NO ONE SHOWS THEM THAT THERE IS A GOD DAM ERROR **

have a nice day

[subtle condor]

lmao

[frigid reef]

this has happend to many times

[pulsar arrow]

I NEVER KNEW SUCH A CHANNEL EXISTED

[safe loom]

a third party's software has a bug

blames salad

considering your librespeed is showing 0 speed

im gonna say with confidence, thats the problem

[frigid reef]

[opal relic]

So basically, salad beta 3(I have gpu) + bandwidth sharing = highest possible earning?

[upbeat shuttle]

Yep, once GPU Container Jobs come out, ofc

CPU Containers + GPU Containers + Bandwidth Sharing 💪

[thorn lantern]

hi

[opal relic]

when do u think it'll release

[upbeat shuttle]

At the latest, near the end of March

[sinful stream]

@upbeat shuttle

i need help bro

i dont have a option for bandwidth sharing

?

[upbeat shuttle]

What country are you in?

[sinful stream]

USA

@upbeat shuttle

[upbeat shuttle]

Are you using a VPN or something? I've never seen it get this wrong before

[sinful stream]

No, where would I enable it?

I would also like to setup another container.

[uncut bluff]

in the performance tab

not in settings

[uncut bluff]

2 pcs

[sinful stream]

yeah

what

[uncut bluff]

oops

[sinful stream]

really

bru

ok

[uncut bluff]

yeah

[sinful stream]

CAN i use VM?

[upbeat shuttle]

No

[uncut bluff]

no

[sinful stream]

it is against tos?

[upbeat shuttle]

Also this isn't the place for container discussions

[uncut bluff]

No it would simply not work

[sinful stream]

oh ok

i have another pc, it has a i3 820 tho lmao

would it work

[uncut bluff]

Maybe

[sinful stream]

alrigh

[upbeat shuttle]

mmm that might be pushing it

wait i just said this isn't the right channel

[sinful stream]

its 3.0 ghz

i have a laptop as well

it might be even worse lmao

well, why dont i have open for bandwith?

its non existent

@upbeat shuttle

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm

have you first tried simply restarting Salad, or restarting your PC?

[opal relic]

I need automatic way to detect profitable coins

my gpu isnt listed on whattomine (I'm on vm)

[upbeat shuttle]

This post is for Bandwidth Sharing

[opal relic]

okaaay

can I use it without beta , because I really need to use my gpu

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah you can use Bandwidth Sharing in normal Salad (v1.0.8)

[opal relic]

anti VM is only for Containers I assume right?

[upbeat shuttle]

Bandwidth Sharing also does not work in VMs ||()||

[opal relic]

alright guess salad is no go for me

[opal relic]

supported bandwidth sharing countries?

[pseudo fog]

!pins

[sick helm]

How do I find the Pinned Messages?

This channel has a lot of useful information in the "Pinned Messages" section!

[opal relic]

oh .

[opal relic]

[stiff wedge]

Honestly so annoying how I get 40 upload on Speedtest but 6 on librespeed

[idle wing]

Meanwhile I could get 200-300 up on speedtest while librespeed is like “you have 9 mb per second up”

And then randomly it sometimes connects me to a server across the states

[stiff wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/kto-kounotori-kounotoritoken-lbow-storkholders-gif-25676481

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth works for you guys? 🥺

[upbeat shuttle]

yep

my bandwidth has been basically maxed out for the past few days

[subtle condor]

I love getting 3 ghost pings in #show-off-your-earnings

:D

[gleaming shell]

no

[frigid reef]

show graph :3

[subtle condor]

mine is max 0.06 for like 7 hours a day :3

[pulsar arrow]

[stiff wedge]

yeah lol been getting jobs right after sgs client pops up

[pulsar arrow]

bruh

mines been running for days

[frigid reef]

https://tenor.com/view/borat-borat-very-nice-verynice-thumbs-up-gif-25080066

sgs was running for like 4 days with 0 jobs after a error moved it to my 2nd pc been getting jobs instantly

[upbeat shuttle]

👀

[frigid reef]

thats using like 1.8 gb per 5 minutes

3.6 gb per 5 minutes if you count both upload and download together

[upbeat shuttle]

uhh

you don't

[frigid reef]

?

[upbeat shuttle]

that's like saying you go 120mph if you count the car's speed and the earth's speed together

[frigid reef]

im just saying as alot of people use windows usage data and thats how that is shown

[upbeat shuttle]

wait really?

it combines upload and download?

[upbeat shuttle]

i suppose that can make sense in some scenarios, but in this case it's not a good way of measuring data transferred

• unless if Salad pays per mb downloaded and uploaded!

thinking too much

[frigid reef]

ye

[upbeat shuttle]

gonna grab some food

[frigid reef]

true ima grab a snack

[subtle condor]

woah, what's the 24 hours on?

[gleaming shell]

wtf nearly 10 cent earnings

[upbeat shuttle]

yep

[frigid reef]

ye, 1 container, 1 bandwidth sharing

[upbeat shuttle]

just over 1 week left until I get much faster internet

[frigid reef]

not my jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

hahaah i take all of your jobs

[gleaming shell]

i am planning on keeping my laptop on for 1 month straight to see if its my bandwidth sharing broken or something else

[pulsar arrow]

I tried my second laptop and nothin

rip

[frigid reef]

Most likely because I have ran bandwidth sharing for months on my 2nd pc so it has more of a trust rating maybe

[pulsar arrow]

Yeah probably, I used the second one entirely for containers alone

since it was like super low power

[safe loom]

it is actually

[pseudo fog]

limited to 1 ip

but probably would work yeah

[upbeat shuttle]

are you guys talking about the same thing..?

running Bandwidth Sharing in a VM

which doesn't work

[safe loom]

i was talking about containers and bandwidth sharing in a vm is infact against tos

[north kestrel]

can anyone tell me when the bandwidth sharing will available in india

[modern panther]

no

no one can tell you

[hollow vortex]

well tech... it would be 1.8gb in 6.26 seconds at a flat 40mbps ( upload )

[hollow vortex]

would be less if you include your TCP overhead

[frigid reef]

https://tenor.com/view/minion-what-despicable-me-gif-4905187

[idle wing]

anyways dude probably uses more bandwidth in 1 month than I use in a year

[safe loom]

i actually have this same bug

the download doesnt measure but the upload goes down

shoutout them using a us server for au bws

[pseudo fog]

ur ip

[safe loom]

thats a librespeed server ip

[pseudo fog]

ok

[safe loom]

it works fine on other servers

apart from the download speed being low

i wonder why they dont just use fast

they made us use fast when they did the survey before bws release in 2021

could it be possible that its trying to do ipv4 while i use ipv6?

[upbeat shuttle]

Refer to the pinned FAQs

[safe loom]

bedtime

[upbeat shuttle]

just installed glasswire on my bandwidth sharing laptop.. finally

so I can track this usage better

oh ok glasswire is also limited to 1 month

good enough i guess

[modern panther]

why do you want to know how much bandwidth salad is taking

[upbeat shuttle]

because

i do

[modern panther]

👍

[upbeat shuttle]

I wanna compare how much bandwidth it uses now compared to when I upgrade my internet

other than that I don't really care, since both internet services will be unlimited; no data cap

woah there's like 140 people following this post

[modern panther]

ok

[hybrid delta]

finally got a job for a split second

[upbeat shuttle]

that wasn't a Bandwidth Sharing job 😅

it looks to be a spike that everyone got

[hybrid delta]

oh

ok

im sad

[pulsar arrow]

there's an app called freemeter but it doesn't have individual app usage, but it has like a total one that doesn't reset every month or so

[upbeat shuttle]

oof that unfortunately won't really be useful if it can't track just sgs-client's usage

[safe loom]

except for me who closed salad because i was playing pavlov and didn’t want it to yoink my ram

[frigid reef]

my guess is just the 3.5tb being uploaded

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah I also assume that

like say there's a 5MB bit of data that needs to be sent, you get paid for that 5MB, not the 5MB for downloading it then 5MB for uploading it

[upbeat shuttle]

suppose tracking that one at the top right is what we should be doing

sgs-rose-gateway

[frigid reef]

so basically all 99.999% of the upload in sgs-client.exe

[upbeat shuttle]

easier to look at :)

[frigid reef]

hmmm the top trafic thing i can see being sent to sgs-rose-gateway is akamaitechnologies

[upbeat shuttle]

also I don't think that's exactly right

since sgs-client has to query the site for the data to be downloaded, or something along those lines

[frigid reef]

this is under the sgs-rose-gateway

hmmm nice

[safe loom]

i could never

librespeed is fucking me

[safe loom]

i opened a ticket with salad

so hopefully it speed the process

[frigid reef]

dont worry your gateway will be named another flower

[safe loom]

i want sunflower

[frigid reef]

not one of them yet

[safe loom]

unlucky

OH

poppy

au should be poppy

cause anzac

[frigid reef]

poppy isnt live yet

dont you have bandwidth sharing logs

you can check at the start it should say your gateway

[safe loom]

no, because librespeed is broken

librespeed works in beta 2

doesn’t work in beta 3

[safe loom]

actually a rice hat cat moment

[frigid reef]

i cant find the Australian one

i have found 3 new locations that are linked to a sgs-gateway

[safe loom]

sussy

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth sharing has started working on my second laptop

is my first one blacklisted or something

anyways bandwidth is pullingless than 10mbps atm

I'm gonna wait if it picks up

ok it has started pulling more than 50mbps now

earnings!!!!?

[thorn lantern]

are u using beta 3 or beta 2

[upbeat shuttle]

I personally prefer beta 2 because I despise auto start with a passion

[thorn lantern]

where is beta 2 download

[upbeat shuttle]

#container-beta message

[pulsar arrow]

💀

[frigid reef]

💀

[pulsar arrow]

wtff

[pulsar arrow]

what's your internet speed if I may ask

[frigid reef]

no you may not ask

jk uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[pulsar arrow]

why

[frigid reef]

70mb upload

[pulsar arrow]

damn makes sense

u got 3x my upload speed

[placid cape]

hi how to start bandwidth sharing?

[pulsar arrow]

3x my earnings

[frigid reef]

what country are you in

[upbeat shuttle]

the spike earlier today makes my maxed out earnings look smol ;-;

[placid cape]

Croatia

[frigid reef]

its not supported in your region, please refer to ozuas pinned message on why and what places are supported atm

[upbeat shuttle]

hehe

you had that pretyped

[frigid reef]

[placid cape]

okay so how can i get more earnigs?

[frigid reef]

use other methods that are mentioned in ozuas pinned message in #archived-community-support

[placid cape]

but are you gona add bandwidth sharing into croatia or?

[safe loom]

nah, don’t feel like it

you also didn’t read why it’s not available

[upbeat shuttle]

The pinned FAQs answer your question :)

here I'll fetch it for you

[safe loom]

if you can’t do 10k for a sweep then i don’t wanna hear no chat about numbers :peped:

[upbeat shuttle]

huh

[safe loom]

absolute tune that stems from your country

[upbeat shuttle]

can you speak english (modern)

[safe loom]

an absolute audio form that originates of a continent containing the country of holland

[idle wing]

why is beta 3 so large

[frigid reef]

#announcements message

[safe loom]

atleast it’s not 3.4gb

[idle wing]

would gpu containers take that much space?

[frigid reef]

yes

[idle wing]

god damn

[safe loom]

CUDA uncompressed is 3.4gb

[idle wing]

what's that

[safe loom]

salad has been fortunate enough to decrease it to 1.2gb

[idle wing]

oh that

[safe loom]

too hard to explain but let’s say “gpu container part”

[upbeat shuttle]

stuff that AI / compute people use to do AI / compute stuff

[pulsar arrow]

stuff that's made of stuff

[slim notch]

nice bandwidths

[tight atlas]

I still have no luck lately

No earnings

Can't get it started

[upbeat shuttle]

rip

I've updated the troubleshooting guide and faqs recently, so maybe have another look through them 👀

[frigid reef]

👀 updating them better then jovanns #container-beta ones

[upbeat shuttle]

aww thanks :)

[frigid reef]

like there was a whole gpu container release and he still hasent updated it smh

:3

[kindred helm]

well the beta 3 is close to useless for most people right now

[frigid reef]

mhm but for those that refuse to update :3 i will shoot to the top of the bandwidth sharing list

[upbeat shuttle]

tbh not much really changed

[frigid reef]

there is still a couple things that could be added

[kindred helm]

mods should be able to edit other people's messages
this may be very stupid, i really didnt think before saying this
but i cant see why mods shouldnt be able to edit messages

[upbeat shuttle]

I can see many reasons why

anyways

[upbeat shuttle]

then suggest them :)

[frigid reef]

why are gpu containers not working
why cant i disable autostart
why is container beta download much bigger
READ THE FUCKING ANNOUNCEMENT :3
also that what mot said

[upbeat shuttle]

@chilly peak ^^ suggestions for additions to the pinned containers troubleshooting guide :)

[chilly peak]

fine

[kindred helm]

and here it should be added " /xmrig is running instead of vmmem"
since some people see 0.01 cents in the next 24 hours from xmig, so they think that containers are working, but not giving out much money, so they also just ignore this message in pins

[frigid reef]

[kindred helm]

:BLELE:

[stiff wedge]

helo people from the uk

anyone uses hyperoptic

[upbeat shuttle]

huh

[stiff wedge]

https://www.hyperoptic.com/

[upbeat shuttle]

oho

[stiff wedge]

yeah

its coming to my town like santa

[frigid reef]

1 gig both ways for £35 wtf

[stiff wedge]

and its pretty cool

and cheap

[chilly peak]

[stiff wedge]

and its pretty reliable (i think)

heard that they have different operating line from other providers

just wanna know if anyone uses it and see if its anywhere good or if it'll disconnect all of a sudden like virgin

[frigid reef]

skill issue ngl only time my virgin cuts off is when my dad forgets to pay it 💀

[upbeat shuttle]

It's apparently london-area only, I think

[stiff wedge]

virgin cuts internet in our town every 2 weeks bruh.

[stiff wedge]

ye but its coming to my area really soon they say

[upbeat shuttle]

oh nice

I'm getting zzoomm in like just over a week

450mbps symmetrical

[chilly peak]

i dead ok

[chilly peak]

done i guess

[near karma]

i've had bandwidth sharing running for a week

i havent made anything

sgs-client is running

everyone constantly asks me that

[kindred helm]

is sgs-client running

[frigid reef]

just wait longer

[humble sapphire]

why does my computer use ndm instead of sgs when i have 200 download and 40 upload?

[hollow vortex]

ndn uses libspeed which is there speed tester. why them and not another? who knows. sgs is just there platform that others connect to and use your bandwidth

[humble sapphire]

how do i unblock it in firewall

i try to type in C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\ndm but it doesnt let me

in the path:

[hollow vortex]

no idea? what makes you think its blocked?

[humble sapphire]

it doesnt run

it worked a few days ago

[hollow vortex]

then your speed test may not have met the requirements for it to run . check your ndm logs what it say for your last test

[humble sapphire]

it says it ran 10 mintues ago

but my salad is on right now

[hollow vortex]

what does it say ? in your NDM log ?

[humble sapphire]

upload rate : 37.22

16:25

[hollow vortex]

and your download?

and your ping?

[humble sapphire]

241

20 ms

[hollow vortex]

should be fine then. how long sinse you booted up?

[humble sapphire]

5 mintues

[hollow vortex]

wait 30 .

[humble sapphire]

ok

tysm

[hollow vortex]

takes me an avgerage 15 mins for sgs to pop up. sometimes sooner

[humble sapphire]

it didnt work i think

[pulsar arrow]

try a different device

had your same problem

switched devices and it immediately started working

[opal relic]

no way around bandwidth sharing

no Proxies? Socks 5? Nothing ?

[upbeat shuttle]

huh

[opal relic]

Im not in supported countries

[upbeat shuttle]

unfortunate

[opal relic]

...

[upbeat shuttle]

even if you could manage to get a proxy or VPN to work, the latency would increase significantly, potentially above salad's maximum acceptable latency

[opal relic]

not if I use strong one

I didn't try yet

[pulsar arrow]

Update: I reinstalled windows on my main laptop, and now sgs client works

crazy how you have to go to such lengths because sgs client is stubborn

[hollow vortex]

You were having an issue? I'm still waiting for salad support to email me back . I did do a clean install of windows and kept my files , but w.e reason I'm getting a error msg on sgs logs and no one knows lol

[pulsar arrow]

that's really weird

Try connecting to a different network

or a different device

[hollow vortex]

Don't have another Device or I would've been tried that.

[pulsar arrow]

borrow a frien's laptop or something?

[tulip jolt]

while youre doing that borrow their life savings

[hollow vortex]

Ain't worth that extent . Lol

[rancid sky]

yes

[near karma]

I don’t use my old PC, only my new one

Im not switching devices

[safe loom]

^^

we shouldn’t have to switch devices/reinstall windows for a librespeed bug

[idle wing]

no fucking way people are making 7+$ just from bandwidth and container

how

i need to move

US bandwidth is ass

[pulsar arrow]

united states of no bandwith

jk bro I understand your pain

[idle wing]

it literally is that lmao

i need to set up salad and run it on my desktop all day but i'm too lazy to and I might forget about it

the cpu is pentium

[frigid reef]

correct i only made 5.5

[safe loom]

no ducking way people are making money from bandwidth sharing

[idle wing]

literally makes more money from bandwidth in one day then I do in like 1 month

[pulsar arrow]

oh your earnings dropped from the 9 cents every 15 mins?

[pulsar arrow]

my bad

itd be so satisfying to hit that 1$ mark

I mean 0.1

[kindred helm]

literally hacking

[hybrid delta]

someone give me a job istg

[upbeat shuttle]

heheheuhueuaheuahehauhe

past 24h is $4.73

[idle wing]

bruh

i gotta move

[safe loom]

hehehehehehe last 24hr is $0 :hollow:

[pseudo fog]

guys

when idia bedwid

[safe loom]

no

[upbeat shuttle]

it'll be added when people stop asking for it

[subtle condor]

@sharp hearth it's Glasswire, a bandwidth sharing monitor

[kindred helm]

LETSGO

[opal echo]

Japan bandwidth is enabled?

[kindred helm]

Uh no?

I mean i dont think so

[opal echo]

Huh

I just say handwidth configuration screen

Saw*

[pseudo fog]

ooh

around Never?

thats kinda close

[opal echo]

What's the difference between bandwidth sharing and bandwidth usage

[kindred helm]

Bnadwirsth sharing is you, sharing your bandwidth with a company
Banana usage is how much your internet is being used

[opal echo]

Ok

[kindred helm]

I think

[upbeat shuttle]

You'd wanna set that setting to 'maximum earnings', unless if you're on a limited data plan.. which barely anyone is on nowadays

[pulsar arrow]

or... just get off bandwith so we get all the jobs

[hollow vortex]

Day 4 waiting on salad support to find a solution to my errors on bandwidth log 💤😴

[pulsar arrow]

Salad support is literally someone copy pasting replies

When the speed test servers crashed before, I got the reply thay speedtest servers were down and salad logic was this and that

When I contacted them yesterday, the person behind the screen literally coped and pasted the exact same message despite being a totally non related issue

What a trollin

[hollow vortex]

Lol!!!!?

[frigid reef]

Welcome to 90% of support for companies

[hollow vortex]

They really need to cut the scripts . And actually put little more effect into support.

[hollow vortex]

Facts

[hollow vortex]

More like 99%

[pulsar arrow]

nah they deal with a lot of people so they gotta have a generalized response

[south veldt]

is it smart to use 2 gpus, my cpu, and bandwidth sharing at the same time or would bandwidth slow down my other parts

[opal relic]

quick help here,, I can't find one to answer

any possible way to pass through gpu from vm to another vm?
"nested virtualization"?
With intel VT disabled

[idle wing]

i'm pretty sure bandwidth should not slow the amount of workloads you get so it should be fine if you do run all of them

just note that if you're going to run cpu use containers and not cpu mining

cpu mining (iirc) does not work with bandwidth

[hollow vortex]

Salad won't run on a VM - salad uses VM for there processes. You need a physical PC with windows .

[upbeat shuttle]

also not the right channel for this kinda question

[peak terrace]

[kindred helm]

oh that is the 30 day graph

almost had a stroke

[frigid reef]

i wonder if you can tell when my bandwidth sharing stopped working

[upbeat shuttle]

:3

[frigid reef]

you got more then me in 24 hours

[upbeat shuttle]

£:

[frigid reef]

ngl hate my family when they get home somehow they use like 20mbps of upload LIKE HOW

[upbeat shuttle]

rip

[shrewd terrace]

tf 2 australias?

[upbeat shuttle]

dupe bug

will be fixed in next patch update

[shrewd terrace]

ok thanks

[hybrid delta]

give

me

a

job

i want money

[frigid reef]

no

[gleaming shell]

same

I'm probs the last in the queue lol

[hybrid delta]

i haven't had a job in over a week

[gleaming shell]

I haven't had a job since October of 2022

[hybrid delta]

damn

[gleaming shell]

And I'm planning on keeping my laptop on for a month straight to see if my bandwidth sharing is broken

2 laptops*

[gleaming wraith]

i'm trying to do some crazy stuff with getting salad bandwidth sharing working on a non residential ip and i've managed to get sgs running

using a residential vpn obviously

i just can't get jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah that's what happens

you might be able to get it to run, but you most probably won't get any jobs

[gleaming wraith]

OH YEAH

BOOM

not the best bidirthroughput

but i am fucking proud of myself

numbers r improving

the traffic is going through 2 locations lol

since i can't directly connect to residential ip

[gleaming wraith]

increasing exponentially

dude the earnings are better than when i run bandwidth sharing on my laptop

[idle wing]

wtf

[subtle condor]

hmmm

[gleaming shell]

Wtf

Im here not even being able to get sgs client to download

[gleaming wraith]

it's crazy

[gleaming shell]

And now there's ppl getting jobs on it on a non residential ip

[gleaming wraith]

it's not exactly non residential

the computer is on a non residential ip

but traffic being rerouted to residential ip

[gleaming shell]

Oh

[idle wing]

whazza what

like a tunnel(ish)?

[hollow vortex]

wow i'll be damned

over a week ive gotten a weird error message - and today - seems to be working ?????

maybe they fixed something on the backend

[gleaming wraith]

yes

SSH tunnel

to my vps hosted on azure

which is connected to residential vpn

bc of network restrictions i can't directly connect to residential vpn but i don't think it'll make a difference lol

it's crazy

sadly it seems i can only run bandwidth sharing on one ip regardless

[hollow vortex]

but youre paying for azure , so is it really outweighing the cost ?

[gleaming wraith]

azure for students

not paying for anything

[hollow vortex]

ahh ok

[safe loom]

the islands above australia

like papa new guinea

[shrewd terrace]

how dare you forget the existence of samoa

[safe loom]

i ain’t even know samoa was in oceania

but alr

[tight atlas]

So how do I fix SGS client running but no earnings

Is my laptop just too bad now

[hollow vortex]

Read pins dude.....

[hollow vortex]

Most common questions been answered 5000 times .

[hollow vortex]

If sgs is running , and you're not sharing bandwidth ... I bet that would mean you have no job..... Hmmm

[hollow vortex]

A slight chance , you're getting errors in your bandwidth LOG. Perhaps take a look at those.

[upbeat shuttle]

Well you've got sgs-client running, which is probably the most difficult bit

I'd say to check out the quality of your IP and whatnot with the links here ^^

[upbeat shuttle]

I don't think this is the case, as I've still got my laptop running Bandwidth Sharing, and I don't see any reason why Salad would bump up the 'minimum requirements' to run Bandwidth Sharing

[tight atlas]

Let me clarify I've gone through all of that hence why I'm asking

There isn't a reason why it shouldn't be earning

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm

I wonder if we've hit the node limit in the UK now too

[hollow vortex]

That there is not a job available . Location wise also has a impact

[hollow vortex]

Maybe , good question to ask

[upbeat shuttle]

well, to correct myself, it's not exactly a 'limit', it's more like supply finally meeting demand, so it becomes more difficult to get in

[tight atlas]

Will it just start earning then if I leave it running

[upbeat shuttle]

perhaps

[tight atlas]

Assuming I am in some queue of sorts

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

since it's already running

[tight atlas]

I'll give it 12 hours then

[upbeat shuttle]

I had that kinda happen to me before, a power cut killed my internet for a few minutes and it took like an hour or two for it to start giving me jobs again

[tight atlas]

Alright

It never used to do this it usually let me earn instantly but I'll wait and see

[upbeat shuttle]

I hope this doesn't happen to me when I upgrade my internet in a week

[hollow vortex]

I got jobs in less then 15 mins of starting salad last night after a week of getting errors in the log.

[frigid reef]

@upbeat shuttle my 2nd container died and bandwidth jobs died too

[hollow vortex]

Cuz mine started working 🙂

[frigid reef]

oh mine still works

[hollow vortex]

Stole your jobs 😊

[frigid reef]

no ozua did

[pulsar arrow]

did bandwith usage go down

mines been unstable but quite 'bandwidthy'

[frigid reef]

ye

[pulsar arrow]

rip

[frigid reef]

as you can see

[pulsar arrow]

ah

oh right I forgot to reinstall glasswire

[safe loom]

This is Mark from Salad Support. How are you? I understand that you want to know more about bandwidth sharing. I am here to discuss this matter and help you out.

bro only needed to tell me this

not explain every variable on how bandwidth sharing works

wait

wrong thing

First off, I greatly appreciate the log files you provided. I can escalate it but it will take some time for me to get a response from our higher team. I will write down everything you need to know for bandwidth sharing so I hope you have time to read it.

this was the only paragraph i needed

[upbeat shuttle]

hi mark

[safe loom]

hi ozua

atleast he told me the important bit first, before the next 7 paragraphs all explaining bandwidth

also

some regions require a minimum of 5mbps up and down, others require 10mbps up and down which is subject to change

like the only thing that relates to my problem

[frigid reef]

ngl should send the 7 paragraphs to my dms so i can fact check it

also to actually see if there is something in there that we missed

[safe loom]

h

[upbeat shuttle]

to me too :)

[frigid reef]

ngl only 1 error, that it allows to bandwidth share and cpu mine at the same time

but tbh really good explanation

seems like Ericka is doing some good work at salad

[peak terrace]

salad has become my savings account

[upbeat shuttle]

your savings account has a 4 digit password

[kindred helm]

💀

[peak terrace]

surely there is a limit to the number of incorrect codes you can enter

if not then that would make it extremely easy to brute force

i could brute force it with a python script made in 10 minutes

[pulsar arrow]

fr

don't share emails guys

[peak terrace]

i mean

my email is already out there

[upbeat shuttle]

there's ofc a ratelimit

I'd assume on many different levels

like IP, device, account

to prevent brute forcing across like a botnet

also - I'm assuming at least - there's a new code generated for each login attempt, so the chances of brute forcing it is 1/10,000 every time

[frigid reef]

there is security measures in place

[stiff wedge]

t

[humble sapphire]

is ndm: { "id": "ndm", "status": "WORKLOAD_STATUS_FAILED", "detail": "RunFailure:1" } a error code when it doesnt run?

[modern panther]

yes

[humble sapphire]

How can I fix it?

[modern panther]

idk

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm

haven't seen that one before

probably best to contact #official-support with your logs so they can check it out

or if you cba like I probably would, you could see if it just fixes itself after a while

[safe loom]

[random ore]

is bandwidth sharing ever gonna be available in romania?

[random ore]

ty.

[shrewd terrace]

sgs client isnt running after restart

[frigid reef]

[shrewd terrace]

i did

[pseudo fog]

gays wen idia bedwidkflt

me weit so log

[quiet wasp]

is this for real? so should i just uninstall then?

[shrewd terrace]

my logs are showing that the upload speed is 20-40mbps at first then a few lines down it goes to 1mbps

google speed test show 35mbps as it should be

[hollow vortex]

so either 2 things - the test server is ovewhelmed with traffic - or something else is using your ur network to slow it down when libspeed runs

[hollow vortex]

suggest re running it till you get a decent test - what i do happens to me at times

[shrewd terrace]

yeah it just fixed itself, but sgs client still isnt running

[frigid reef]

@upbeat shuttle slowly getting my jobs back

went from 2.9 dollars a day back to 4.2 again

[golden magnet]

Bro i want to do 4$ a day.

Give me ur IP so i can use VPN

Or else..

Man the GIF doesn't work on the serv

Now i look like a psycho

[shrewd terrace]

is sgs client supposed to be running if you are in the queue?

[peak terrace]

thats not how it works

[peak terrace]

yes

[golden magnet]

Would've loved tho

😭

[shrewd terrace]

found the issue

for some reason windows defender un-whitelisted salad

[sharp hearth]

a easy lifetime fix is don’t have shitty defender

Use the old noggin 0 viruses pass

[shrewd terrace]

true

dont wanna risk it tho

[near karma]

im actually so tired of this bs

its been like

a week and a half

since i've had a bandwidth job

maybe 2 weeks

theres no way its not a glitch

[silver cedar]

how do you get one in the first place lol

i have it enabled on multiple pcs and the only one that has sgs-client even downloaded is my main pc (a version from september of last year)

[near karma]

everyone feels like such a smartass when they ask "is sgs-client running" or "is sgs-client installed"

it drives me insane

[pulsar arrow]

I had the same issue

sgs client was running and no jobs

I eventually tried another device

then after I found out that the other device worked, I reinstalled windows with full personal data erased and cloud download

and then installed salad beta 2 and the usuals

it started working after 15mins

[pulsar arrow]

if you CAN afford the time to backup your files, and reinstall windows, that'd be my best advice to you

u can do it easily in settings, they do everything for u

[silver cedar]

how did you get sgs-client running in the first place

[pulsar arrow]

just run salad?

[silver cedar]

well unfortunately it wont even bother downloading sgs-client

[pulsar arrow]

Ah, yeah, I reinstalled windows when I had that problem too 💀

idk it's up to you

don't quote me on this

[silver cedar]

i dont think its my installs problem considering ive tried on 5 different systems

same connection though

[pulsar arrow]

is your internet up to the spec?

[frigid reef]

whats your internet speed

[silver cedar]

i get 40 mbit/s upload and 1 gbit download

[pulsar arrow]

hmm

[frigid reef]

whats your ip trust/quality rating

[silver cedar]

0 - Low Risk

using that link in the troubleshooting whatever anyways

[frigid reef]

what country are you in

[silver cedar]

US

[pulsar arrow]

Ah explains why

US region has a terrible rep for Bandwidth sharing not working

Mainly low number of jobs and such

[silver cedar]

well that sucks

[pulsar arrow]

Ye, if you were in the UK, you'd be earning more than me

keep running salad though

might just strike luck

[silver cedar]

well on the bright side I do have 2 containers working

now imagine if I could get 3

[upbeat shuttle]

basically impossible

[near karma]

probably wont make a difference

when i installed salad, i never changed any setting, app, bios option or anything

except virtualisation

but it was working even when i enabled it

i doubt that will fix anything

does windows 11 and windows 10 matter

[upbeat shuttle]

nope

I've managed to get Bandwidth Sharing working on both Windows 11 and 10

[near karma]

so whats the problem

[upbeat shuttle]

All of my knowledge is stored safely in the pinned messages

[near karma]

i've read them

like

4 times

and followed the instructions

[pulsar arrow]

Your only options is the official support

[near karma]

kk

[quaint gust]

how fast would an internet connection have to be for you to get a bandwidth sharing workload?

[upbeat shuttle]

[safe loom]

mark has forwarded my logs to high team

i just know the solutions i was provided from the high team will not work

i can get bandwidth sharing on beta 2 and earn 60 cents, but containers won’t work, in beta 3 i can use containers but no bandwidth sharing

it’s a mess

although i might troubleshoot beta 2 containers and see if i can just use beta 2 for now

[sinful lark]

I have no sgs folder

[safe loom]

could you give more information

like country, internet speeds, whether you’ve read the pins

[sinful lark]

Alright im in australia

and i have 78 mbps download

then

11 mbps upload

@safe loom

[safe loom]

hmmm

can you go to your logs folder and send the most recent “nbm” log

[frigid reef]

what version are you on

[sinful lark]

beta

[frigid reef]

please dont post your ndm log it has your ip in it

[sinful lark]

oh sorry

[frigid reef]

or at least remove your ip before posting it

just keeping you safe

[sinful lark]

what do i do to send it then

[frigid reef]

just remove your ip from the file before sending it

[frigid reef]

beta 3?

[sinful lark]

yep

[sinful lark]

my file said 78 mbps download and 11 mbps download

upload*

fort he last one

[sinful lark]

is it something wrong with beta

[safe loom]

hmmm

[safe loom]

what are your speed if you use speedtest.net if you don’t mind me asking

[frigid reef]

hmm idk really

[safe loom]

and no, there’s no major user wide issue currently

only a couple handful of people have issues with beta 3

[sinful lark]

my upload speed way faster here

[safe loom]

hmmmmmmmmmm

@frigid reef i’m starting to see something

[sinful lark]

what

[safe loom]

from the bandwidth team themselves

-wait for a spot
-restart salad to retake a speedtest
-restart your router and leave it off for 2 minutes to assign a new ip (which i don’t think works if you use nbn)

also nice upload crikey

[frigid reef]

what location is your speed test server

[safe loom]

LA

[frigid reef]

i have a feeling the servers they using dont have a Australian one

[safe loom]

i’m thinking that too

[sinful lark]

yeah but i dont have the bandwith folder in workloads?

[safe loom]

but it gets a slightly correct ping for being in la

[sinful lark]

it says my selected server is virginia

united states

[safe loom]

try turning on cpu or gpu for a few minutes

and see if sgs pops up

[frigid reef]

at the end of the day it could just be market demands and that stuff

[safe loom]

actually

mine might be virginia

is it “sponsored by riverside”

[frigid reef]

you can see the list of servers they can use here https://librespeed.org/

[safe loom]

no

[sinful lark]

yes

[safe loom]

these ones are different servers

i know because those servers work

[sinful lark]

it makes my selected server riverside rocks

[safe loom]

although my download speed is halved, my upload is perfect

[safe loom]

that’s not avaliable for me

this could all be fixed if they’d just use fast

ong

[sinful lark]

also

it didnt pop up

so idk what to do

[safe loom]

you’ll just have to wait

did it work in beta 2?

[sinful lark]

noope

why tf is it making me use virgina servers

[safe loom]

hmm

idk

i thought that to myself a while ago

[frigid reef]

because its most likely the closest available server they have

[sinful lark]

idk it just wont make the bandwith folder

for some reason

[safe loom]

you’ll just have to wait

[frigid reef]

Ik unless you try the stuff in pins there is nothing we can do about it

except wait

[idle wing]

meanwhile librespeed be like: 200 download 11 upload

BRUH WHAT

[silver cedar]

librespeed had me down to 3 mbps upload once 💀

(i actually have 40 mbps upload)

[safe loom]

real

librespeed sucks

forgor to blackout my ip in fast

[modern panther]

why can't we see your ip 😭

[safe loom]

because

i didn't have my vpn enabled

big guy

[modern panther]

😭

[shrewd terrace]

does the uk have a queue rn

i lieft it overnight and havent got a job

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah there could be now

[quartz whale]

yo

whats dis

[upbeat shuttle]

the place for Bandwidth Sharing stuff

[quartz whale]

whats that now?

[upbeat shuttle]

the name is pretty self explanatory 💀

[quartz whale]

:|'

[upbeat shuttle]

the pinned messages have a good explanation :)

[quartz whale]

mhm

does it have an impact on yo income?

[upbeat shuttle]

screaming

yes

[quartz whale]

screaming?

[upbeat shuttle]

i internally scream every time someone doesn't read the pinned messages

[quartz whale]

hm

k

[subtle condor]

[shrewd terrace]

@quartz whale your discord profile is almoat as cringe as novas

[upbeat shuttle]

[shrewd terrace]

cope with what?

[safe loom]

copium

[frigid reef]

lets just move on at this point

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

[pulsar arrow]

[tight atlas]

an update on this: absolutely no earnings and my throughput is always 0 (assuming it has anything to do with why im not earning)

might boil down to an issue with my laptop so i'll test on pc

hate to see it stop working

[frigid reef]

seems like you just waiting for jobs

[tight atlas]

well i gave it 12 hours

is that enough or are the queues just massive now

[frigid reef]

i have waited like 48 hours in the past before getting any jobs

[tight atlas]

zamn

alr then

[pulsar arrow]

earnings dropped a teeny tiny bit, but still good enough

[mossy skiff]

hiw

[upbeat shuttle]

I sometimes doubt the intelligence of Salad's load balancing systems or whatever you wanna call them

[frigid reef]

the matrix

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm getting my bandwidth maxed out and endie can't get anything after 12 hours

[frigid reef]

and im getting low usage

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm not complaining, but I sure will be once this eventually goes away

[pulsar arrow]

close salad

[shrewd terrace]

@upbeat shuttle you know, something really cool happens if you type taskkill /f /im sgs-client.exe in cmd

[upbeat shuttle]

good for you

[frigid reef]

dosent work

[shrewd terrace]

😡 why

[frigid reef]

got bandwidth sharing and a container on its own dedicated pc

[shrewd terrace]

well

the cool thing only happens if you do it on that pc

(its really cool)

[frigid reef]

ah sadly cmd/powershell are both disabled on that pc

[shrewd terrace]

why

[frigid reef]

its a pc meant for serious things only not funny things

[shrewd terrace]

i see

in that case

turning your router off works as well

[frigid reef]

ok done, now what

[shrewd terrace]

now i stole your earnings

[pseudo fog]

earnings stolen
rekt

[frigid reef]

cap, ||got a backup router ||

[shrewd terrace]

🤬

[pseudo fog]

if you are able to start salad again in 10 seconds

U keep job

[frigid reef]

cap

[pseudo fog]

not cap

[shrewd terrace]

test it nova

[frigid reef]

ok i will ask staff

as many times my salad has died and came back in 10 seconds and lost my job

[pseudo fog]

atleast for containers thats my experien

dunno how BANDWI works

[frigid reef]

last time i checked this is bandwidth chat....

[pseudo fog]

wen idia tho

[frigid reef]

2 months after people stop asking

[pseudo fog]

shit

its coming in the 23rd of january of Never

[frigid reef]

2 months after people stop asking
also check pins

dont be nsfw/suggestive

@shrewd terrace

[shrewd terrace]

🤬

[modern panther]

🤓

[shrewd terrace]

say that to nova not me

[modern panther]

you

[upbeat shuttle]

[pulsar arrow]

We need a live counter of how much salad balance has been spent by the entire userbase

wrong channel

[frigid reef]

umm on this page https://salad.com/community/portal

clearly states 6 million salad balance has been paid

970k items redeemed

[pulsar arrow]

yes I know that, but i was suggesting a more detailed view

clearly that's a rounding up of numbers

[frigid reef]

hmm true

[pulsar arrow]

those years of compute have been the same for a while

[frigid reef]

i dont think so

[pulsar arrow]

I do

I remember the number

it's like a summary that's not been updated for a while

so salad might have more rewards redeemed

[frigid reef]

here is it on september 23rd

[pulsar arrow]

ah well, it'd just be a cool feature

September

dman

damn

guess i was wront

[frigid reef]

pretty sure they update the number every month or so

[pulsar arrow]

but like imagine a discord counter on the top of the channels that updated every 20mins or so

[frigid reef]

#salad-feedback-old

[pulsar arrow]

ok gn thanks for the info

[upbeat shuttle]

a discord counter..?

[frigid reef]

Yeah an api that updates the channels topic to the numbers and such

[upbeat shuttle]

oh that

yeah no that's not gonna happen

[frigid reef]

yeah i just rather them not get told anything in the reddit

[upbeat shuttle]

the higher ups are super keen on cutting down the number of channels, even though what we have right now is basically as good as it'll get

so I highly doubt they'll even consider adding channels that do nothing but show stats that very few people will realistically care about

[frigid reef]

could just add it to something like #fresh-redemptions

[upbeat shuttle]

mmm

even if we could find a good spot for it, that'd also require work done by the devs, who assumedly have their hands very full currently

[frigid reef]

ye, im fine as it is by the numbers on the website being updated every month or so

[hollow vortex]

its been a week since i last heard about my official support email - been over 4 days since i last asked about an update aswell -
