Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[safe loom]

are you having the librespeed problem?

[hollow vortex]

um no.

[safe loom]

ok

whats your problem?

[hollow vortex]

a problem, that im more then sure you arent able to fix or help with

[safe loom]

ok man

i was asking to see if i had a solution that wouldn't need you waiting for official support

[hollow vortex]

i know - but even the mods dont have a soloution , and haven't seen anyone else have the issue.

[safe loom]

can you atleast say the issue?

ok

[shrewd terrace]

whats the issue

[upbeat shuttle]

damn

[shrewd terrace]

FINALLY

i got a job

only took 30 hours

[shrewd terrace]

so low pay though

less than container

[oak void]

is it allowed/possible to use a vpn for bandwith sharing because i don't live there

[upbeat shuttle]

No

[oak void]

oh ok

[shrewd terrace]

how tf

did i lose the job

when my internet didnt go down and sgs client never closed

[upbeat shuttle]

sounds pretty possible to me

if Salad didn't deem you as being worthy of receiving jobs

[shrewd terrace]

what would be considered worthy

i have 200mbps down and 30 up

[subtle condor]

did anybody elses bandwidth sharing just die?

[shrewd terrace]

yup

[subtle condor]

it would seem that Salads servers crashed...?

@upbeat shuttle anything on this?

I guess there is no much anybody can do now except wait for jobs ;-;

[shrewd terrace]

i dont seem to have any error

mine just stopped

[gleaming wraith]

i'm not getting any bidirthroughput lol

on neither my own laptop nor this

[stiff wedge]

nope mines fine

[upbeat shuttle]

no clue what that is

[frigid reef]

when this happened to me i didn't get jobs for like 5 days till i switched to my 2nd pc

[subtle condor]

wtf alright

it's weird because it looks like some kind of rate limit

[shrewd terrace]

i was getting 4$ a day last week

now 0

[frigid reef]

sounds normal to me

[warped dragon]

why wont salad run the sgs client even after mining and running bandwidth sharing for a long time

like it just wont run it

uk

it was running fine like 2 days ago

damn i used to make a dollar a day or so

same i used to get like 1 dollar a day like 4 days ago now its around 60 cent

[hybrid delta]

I FINALLY GOT A JOB

like 0.6$ per hour

with a cpu container

idk if i did the math correctly lol

ok 0.1$ per hour xd

[shrewd terrace]

for me windows unwhitelisted salad, try whitelisting it again

[hybrid delta]

United Kingdom

[warped dragon]

imma try that rn

[hybrid delta]

idk why its so slow in my room, speeds can go up to 150mbps in my house

[warped dragon]

its still excluded?

u want me to send whole pic of exclutions?

yeah i dont get a noti

the bandwidth sharing app doesnt open tho

[chilly peak]

that isn't the right folder

[warped dragon]

really?

[chilly peak]

you want to whitelist C:\ProgramData\Salad

[warped dragon]

ok

[chilly peak]

this is the installer only

[shrewd terrace]

can someone explain to me why so many of the mods are femboys and/or furrys

[chilly peak]

in salad's settings you can make salad whitelist itself for you in windows defender

[chilly peak]

[chilly peak]

its a joke in the server you turn into one when you join

[chilly peak]

open a file explorer > click the "view" tab > enable hidden items

[warped dragon]

ok

[shrewd terrace]

youre in the queue like me

[shrewd terrace]

enjoy waiting 40 hours

[warped dragon]

i just white listed it and it still wont open the bandwidth sharing app

damn

[shrewd terrace]

look at your ndm logs and see what speed it says

[warped dragon]

how to open that

[shrewd terrace]

C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\ndm

check the latest one

[warped dragon]

ok

it says 35mbps download

[shrewd terrace]

what upload

[warped dragon]

10

to 15

[shrewd terrace]

does the speed decrease at the bottom of the log

[warped dragon]

yes

it goes to 7.5

[shrewd terrace]

i think it should still be enough to start

so idk

try official support i guess

[warped dragon]

ok

[chilly peak]

what country?

[warped dragon]

uk

[chilly peak]

yeah iirc you need at least 10mbps for the uk

and if you fluctuate below it you're really not going to be able to get jobs unfortunately

[warped dragon]

damn

is it ever gonna get lowered to like 5mbps

like usa

[frigid reef]

at the end of the day these are the demands of the customers that are using our bandwidth, so salad cant really just lower the requirement and we cant guess if the customer will ever lower it too

[pseudo fog]

pretty sure theyll keep cryptomining when theres no container jobs

so u can still earn

[frigid reef]

nice bandwidth chat :3

[pseudo fog]

yes

[pulsar arrow]

it didnt

it happened to me a few weeks ago, I had to reinstall windows to fix it

[shrewd terrace]

YES

i got a job again

hopefully it doesnt end randomly

[pseudo fog]

pretty sure they go away when its finished

[subtle condor]

my bandwidth is back now anyway

:3

[earnest sluice]

how can i turn on it

[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!

[frigid reef]

what country are you in

[earnest sluice]

canada

[frigid reef]

Not supported in your country yet

[pseudo fog]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-beocord-no-lol-gif-24435520

no bandwid for u

[earnest sluice]

when it will supported in my country?

[pseudo fog]

No one knows

[frigid reef]

We do not know

[pseudo fog]

Could be tomorrow, could be in 5 seconds
or could be NEVER

[earnest sluice]

hmmm

[shrewd terrace]

13th december 2034 at 8:40 30.283837626776562seconds exactly

[earnest sluice]

why it's so slow?

[frigid reef]

#community-support

[pseudo fog]

Ah what a bandwidth chat

[earnest sluice]

ok

[hollow vortex]

i get use of closed network error often. support is already aware of it

[gleaming wraith]

anyone in uk back to a long chunk of bidirthroughput 0

[shrewd terrace]

i was

back to normal now though

[thorn lantern]

i do

[thorn lantern]

what did u do to fix it

[shrewd terrace]

i waited

[thorn lantern]

for how long

[shrewd terrace]

like 30 hours

[thorn lantern]

i waited for 2 weeks

no job yet

[shrewd terrace]

wow

[thorn lantern]

edit : i got job rn b/c i allowed through my firewall after i reinstalled windows

[sinful stream]

bro

canada bandwidth fr soon

plz

[shrewd terrace]

no

[sinful stream]

why!!

[shrewd terrace]

cuz canada is trash

[sinful stream]

they have it for sweden

😭

and norway

like wtff?

[shrewd terrace]

wtf

they are goated countries

wdyn

[sinful stream]

why they give it to small as countries

how are they goated

lmao

[shrewd terrace]

miles better than canada

[sinful stream]

there giving it to singapore

[shrewd terrace]

still better than canada

[sinful stream]

how tho

[shrewd terrace]

cuz

canada

is just better america

which means is still trash

[sinful stream]

and canada is better america

where are you from

[shrewd terrace]

uk

[sinful stream]

[shrewd terrace]

what

[sinful stream]

shut up innit

[shrewd terrace]

wrong

[shrewd terrace]

For fcks sake

Why did sgs client randomly close

Just as i was starting to get back to normal earnings

Back to 30 hour queue

I love salad

Such robust software

[thorn lantern]

facts

in task manger sgs is using 150 mps

thats my highest usage i saw

[upbeat shuttle]

Salad will use what it needs

[shrewd terrace]

now i got jobs again

but 30mbps max

im getting 0.003 every 15 mins

[thorn lantern]

im gettin 0.05/15min

0.2/hr

uk

btw

[shrewd terrace]

thats what i was starting to get

until sgs crashed

cuz salad is so robust

[thorn lantern]

thats facts

[pulsar arrow]

super level graph

[olive escarp]

whats the minimum download/upload speed

[upbeat shuttle]

[quiet wasp]

must be nice

[gleaming shell]

chain break

[upbeat shuttle]

hehe

I've reorganised the pinned messages a bit

there's now one for Minimum Requirements

which was already there, but now it's got its own section

I've only got one placeholder message left

[frigid reef]

[upbeat shuttle]

oh god #message-log

[upbeat shuttle]

had maxed bandwidth sharing earnings for the past 12h

[frigid reef]

nice

[gleaming shell]

imagine

[idle wing]

finally got a job

[hollow vortex]

16 gig upload from sgs in 24 hrs. poop in the us. i was doing 100 gig a day about 3 weeks ago. huge diff.

[idle wing]

oof

[gleaming shell]

imagine
0 binary digits here since october 2022

[idle wing]

apparently my computer got a "high paying job"

aka .8 cents per 15 minutes

if us doesn't get paid this much, imagine if someone in china was running bandwidth sharing

[quiet wasp]

every time you type, i get depressed because i know i will never get a job, but i foolishly have stayed here in the hopes that it will happen

[idle wing]

i waited ~3.5 hours for a job

[safe loom]

@upbeat shuttle i just wondered if i could unplug my ethernet mid librespeed test and the lug it in boosting my speed back to normal, or atleast above 5mbps

librespeed is so ass

i hate it

[shrewd terrace]

so true

it keeps connecting to virginia usa when im in the uk

it fkcs my upload speed

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm maybe

it'd probably cancel the currently running test, or give the final result as being 0mbps

[upbeat shuttle]

you love to see it

[pseudo fog]

Based Salad user

[upbeat shuttle]

[shrewd terrace]

😔 you hate to see it

[pseudo fog]

thats not too bad

[shrewd terrace]

it is

used to be steady

[pseudo fog]

im like

so excited for brazil bandwidth sharing

[pulsar arrow]

:)

Cityfibre is building gigabit fttp in my neighborhood let's goo

now I can get faster internet for cheaper

instead of relying on virgins network

[shrewd terrace]

come oonnnnn

idk if i should restart salad

i dont wanna go into a queue again

[upbeat shuttle]

?

I don't see anything wrong with that graph..?

[shrewd terrace]

at the end

earnings really low

[upbeat shuttle]

looks like they were low before too

it doesn't look off to me

[safe loom]

i do not love to see it

[stiff wedge]

It’s just a different job with lower pay

Mines gone down as well for a lot but it wasn’t using that much internet compare to the previous $0.02-0.05 ones

[frigid reef]

gonna send div over to unplug your ethernet cable

[safe loom]

me too

[shrewd terrace]

finally normal earnings again

[idle wing]

I just use Ethernet to boost my test and then just unplug it

Cuz I sometimes have to move around with my laptop

only if that spike could last forever

$0.05 spike in us

~46gb used for 24 cents in 13hours

looks like i got a nice job

[idle wing]

I'm assuming this means that the job has been finished?

[frigid reef]

no it means its exiting a sgs read loop

[safe loom]

i use ethernet on my desktops

i don’t own wifi adapters and wifi only belongs on portable devices

[upbeat shuttle]

psst
it runs speed tests occasionally while you're running Salad too :)

[frigid reef]

dont tell them that

[idle wing]

oh fr? I haven't seen that happen to me yet

but then again I don't run bw sharing 24/7

[gleaming wraith]

to those getting bandwidth jobs, are u guys on beta-3?

[shrewd terrace]

yes

[upbeat shuttle]

I've managed to get jobs on 1.0.8 and beta-2

the version shouldn't really matter, as long as it's 1.0.8 or higher

[gleaming wraith]

bandwidth sharing is taking a shit on me

[upbeat shuttle]

that's pretty rude of it

[gleaming wraith]

back with the consistent bidirthroughput 0

[shrewd terrace]

sgs client its sentient and doesnt like you

[upbeat shuttle]

nevermind, it doesn't..

💪

that's 87 days

[gleaming shell]

BRUH WTF

87 DAYS

i thought 14 days of uptime is high

[upbeat shuttle]

anyways looks like my internet died for a couple seconds so Salad's insanely smart systems decided that I was no longer worthy of any jobs

[gleaming shell]

rip

[upbeat shuttle]

and I still can't even get my second container to work

[gleaming shell]

i instantly got both of my high paying containers back after my laptop gsod for some reason

[upbeat shuttle]

again, thank you Salad for your insanely smart logic

[thorn lantern]

your welcome

[upbeat shuttle]

this is actually stupid because they run the bandwidth test EXACTLY WHEN EVERY OTHER APP ON YOUR PC IS TRYING TO HOG YOUR CPU / BANDWIDTH

[silver cedar]

step 1: restart salad bowl service to run the speedtest again

step 2: win

[upbeat shuttle]

we shouldn't have to manually kill saladbowl to make it work properly

[frigid reef]

pretty sure it starts when salad the app starts, so just turn off auto launch

[upbeat shuttle]

wanna bet it'll still run it anyways

because you can't stop saladbowl and whatever else it spawns from starting

[frigid reef]

i mean when the salad app actually starts this one not the service

[upbeat shuttle]

which i consider to be lazy coding but they'll call it whatever they want

[upbeat shuttle]

I know

[kindred helm]

you can completely disable it though, right?
ive done it before

[upbeat shuttle]

oh yeah it's definitely possible

but it should be along with the option to disable auto launch

[thorn lantern]

yeh that's true

[upbeat shuttle]

epic, if you disable hardware in Salad, it doesn't let you pause chopping until you re-enable some hardware

stupid

[pulsar arrow]

samee

hey @upbeat shuttle is it back for you yet

[upbeat shuttle]

nope

[pulsar arrow]

so its not my problem

ok

[uncut bluff]

when i get new internet i hope i get bandwidth jobs

[pulsar arrow]

salad

[frigid reef]

wdym?

what isnt back yet

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth has stopped

[upbeat shuttle]

i sure hope that it'll fix its shit by the time I upgrade my internet

[frigid reef]

mine works

[pulsar arrow]

sgs client is still runnin tho

[pulsar arrow]

thats a step drop

[upbeat shuttle]

oh yeah you absolutly stole my jobs

[pulsar arrow]

steep

[frigid reef]

[frigid reef]

wdym thats a normal drop for me

[pulsar arrow]

oh

alr then ima wait

[upbeat shuttle]

funny and all but I'm now earning 10x less because Salad is stupid

[pulsar arrow]

fr

did u restart salad

just when im having record earnings

[frigid reef]

did a error message pop up when your earnings died

[upbeat shuttle]

I've been focusing on fixing my second container so I don't remember

[upbeat shuttle]

just said Salad had some issues connecting to the internet

[pulsar arrow]

my bw logs havent updated

[upbeat shuttle]

no actual error message in the app, just that notification from like 2pm

[pulsar arrow]

since 7pm

oh wait nvm

wait what the date says 2023-01-30 at the last line of the latest log file

[upbeat shuttle]

I give up on trying to fix my second container, I'm gonna try working on the bandwidth sharing one

[frigid reef]

something like this? with massive github links ofc

[pulsar arrow]

and yeah it does say error rate

my internet is fine

cmon salad dont maark me as unreliable

[upbeat shuttle]

I've had two bits of throughput so far

so it at least works

it's just Salad's stupid matrix

[pulsar arrow]

uh

my logs last line stopped updating since the 30th of last month

theres nothing of the more recent dates

[frigid reef]

if your not getting anymore logs while sgs-client is running then something is defo wrong

[pulsar arrow]

OK IT CREATED ONE JUST NOW

wtff thats weird

so apparently its stopped since 11:19 am

but ive stopped earning just now

after 11.19am its saying no bw throughput

[upbeat shuttle]

gotta lova that Salad still hasn't figured out how to make the predicted 24h say anything other than 'calculating' when running bandwidth sharing

[pulsar arrow]

last line of my latest log

[frigid reef]

No it does work, just when cpu is enabled it dosent work

[pulsar arrow]

i swear if i have to reinstall windows again cus of this

[frigid reef]

i think

[upbeat shuttle]

huh

[frigid reef]

i have had it work with gpu at least running as the same time with bandwidth sharing

unless your talking about it on its own

[upbeat shuttle]

salad cannot predict bandwidth sharing earnings - they know this - so they should make the predicted 24h say something other than 'Calculating...' when just bandwidth sharing is running

[thorn lantern]

hi

[frigid reef]

me waiting for that team kyle said salad is getting this year to start working on stuff thats actually good for the user

[thorn lantern]

check thorugh your network firewall i changed it it nows works for me

[upbeat shuttle]

oh so their current team is working on stuff that makes the user experience horrible, i see

[pulsar arrow]

i alr had it let thru firewall

[upbeat shuttle]

gonna clarify that was a joke

[frigid reef]

ha funny i get it, you saying its a joke is the funny part 💀

[thorn lantern]

are u sure about that

[pulsar arrow]

yes and i checked

[thorn lantern]

well thats an f

i have a job

a low paying one thougj

though

[upbeat shuttle]

i give up, i'm just gonna wait until tomorrow and see if salad figures out how to work again

[thorn lantern]

well thats a loss in earnings

[upbeat shuttle]

indeed it is

so much for their "trust system" which is supposed to factor in stuff like these

[thorn lantern]

salad should let us see a list to see where we are in bandwidth job postion

[upbeat shuttle]

and I've seen people disconnecting their ethernet to use wifi and it continues without any problem

[thorn lantern]

u do that

[upbeat shuttle]

salad should treat us like we know a bit more than a literal toddler

[upbeat shuttle]

?

[thorn lantern]

have you tried that method

[upbeat shuttle]

huh

that's not a method

[thorn lantern]

oh but have you tried that though

[pulsar arrow]

why would that work

[upbeat shuttle]

no because logically it shouldn't change or do anything

though i suppose salad's logic is far from solid currently

[pulsar arrow]

sgs client has disappeared wohoo

[thorn lantern]

so it may change it who knows

[upbeat shuttle]

I'll let it run as it is until tomorrow

[thorn lantern]

k

[upbeat shuttle]

that'll give it a good ~20 hours to maybe work

[thorn lantern]

i once gave it 2 weeks

[pulsar arrow]

im gonna wait a max of 3 days tehn reinstall windows

while trying to troubleshoot

since thats always worked for me

not a super important laptop so idc

i mean files

[upbeat shuttle]

make sure you save your logs, they might come in useful in the future idk

[thorn lantern]

how much have times have your reinstalled it

[pulsar arrow]

ye ill note that

2

[thorn lantern]

f

[upbeat shuttle]

gonna go watch some anime so i forget about all this

[pulsar arrow]

reinstall might be the solution for me here

sgs client is pinging for jobs way less often

what i mean by that

sgs client usually uses like a bit of data and goes to the top of task manager like every 2 seconds

now its doing that every 4 or 5

i know its not a valid reason

but last time(s) i observed the same behaviour

and whenever i got it working, it still does that sort of frequent pinging

ok ignore this doesnt make any sense

but ill keep it as a solution for myself

[peak terrace]

it do be saturating my upload bandwidth

[pulsar arrow]

@upbeat shuttle has it come back

sorry for ping

[frigid reef]

yes its still going

still got ozuas job

[pulsar arrow]

damnnn

[upbeat shuttle]

it's come back

[upbeat shuttle]

truly the one (1) ((uno)) time that I've seen the 'let it do its thing' actually be true

man this anime truly has a ratatouille reference

[subtle condor]

WOW

[upbeat shuttle]

actually wait no, I had to restart chopping so I didn't really leave it to do its thing..

[gleaming shell]

must be nice

[subtle condor]

yessir

[frigid reef]

nice

atm i dont wanna remote into mine as its maxing out still

[gleaming shell]

what if i fly to the uk for the bandwidth jobs

[frigid reef]

i will kick you out

[subtle condor]

fair enough, I'm playing cs comp while running it and my ping is at 100 xD

[frigid reef]

you not stealing my jobs

[subtle condor]

it's normally at 30

[gleaming shell]

im probs gont gonna get any jobs bc of the trustablility sytem thing idk

[pulsar arrow]

Salad is now running libre speed tests from a us server

wtf.

[pulsar arrow]

it's actually an issue with beta 3

beta 2 works flawlessly

until it doesnr

[upbeat shuttle]

sounds like a beta issue that I'm too stable to understand 💪

[frigid reef]

it chooses uk every time for me without fail

sounds like a skill issue

[subtle condor]

^

[safe loom]

it only runs a test when you start salad

[safe loom]

my librespeed is still too broken on beta 2 to run bandwidth sharing

on beta 3 it doesn’t measure download and upload just goes down the more the test runs

on beta 2 it measures the download almost correctly but i still have the upload issue

it lowers under 5mbps

[gleaming shell]

I get accurate speed tests but my sgs client dosent even download

Still gotta wait until we collide with the Andromeda galaxy

[woven tundra]

What software is this

The one used to monitor network activity

[upbeat shuttle]

glasswire

[kindred helm]

Today's sponsor!

[peak terrace]

bandwif

[peak terrace]

if I didn't spend any balance and was earning at the rate at which I currently am I could have $1500+ every year

[upbeat shuttle]

not bad

[safe loom]

you're alex

[upbeat shuttle]

easy money laundering--

[safe loom]

how do you put money in???

[upbeat shuttle]

buying a PC

[mossy skiff]

when

[upbeat shuttle]

never

[mossy skiff]

omg

[idle wing]

imagine earning enough for a pc

[gleaming shell]

Buying a pc using salad so you can use the pc you bought to buy another pc

[pulsar arrow]

the cycle continues forever

[hollow vortex]

in the meantime reality kicks in and realize you'll probably make less as time goes on as more ppl will be using salad to make passive income.

[frigid reef]

but then you realise there will also be alot more companies signing up to use salad

also more methods to earn

[gleaming shell]

As long as you're earning more than your electricity cost you'll eventually get enough pcs, it's gonna take a while tho

[hollow vortex]

then take a look at other companies that do similar projects = passive income becomes lower as it will grow more then companies using there services.

[frigid reef]

well no one done it like salad though

[pulsar arrow]

meanwhile salad the company in the background:

[hybrid delta]

money money money money money money money money moneyyyyy

[upbeat shuttle]

you stole my jobs?!

[hybrid delta]

revenge

[silver cedar]

one day I'll suddenly get bandwidth on my pc

[gleaming shell]

Same

[silver cedar]

it will just take a really long time since I'm in the US 💀

[hybrid delta]

just pray

[gleaming shell]

It has happened before for me but then VirtualBox made my laptop crash on October of 2022 and I never got sgs client to even download after that

[upbeat shuttle]

good jobs are coming back

[frigid reef]

nice mine are back too

also i hate how im always only 0.001 cent away from 0.1 per 15 minutes

[upbeat shuttle]

it's interesting to compare bandwidth sharing earnings with others 👀

can see the trends in network usage increases

[frigid reef]

yeah i always get high earning jobs between 3pm to 10pm normally

[hollow vortex]

yes they are. lol

[subtle condor]

This whole server is just an advertisement for glasswire at this point lmao

[hollow vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-gif-25288613

[upbeat shuttle]

this sellout was sponsored by Glasswire

[subtle condor]

I actually brought Glasswire because of Linus

[frigid reef]

brought? why buy

use free version

[subtle condor]

Firewall

[frigid reef]

hmm okay

[upbeat shuttle]

Glasswire is the tool that shows you which apps are slowing down your connection in realtime. It's used by security pros to monitor for malware, block bandwidth wasters, and detect suspicious activity. Get 25% off by using code LINUS at the link below.

[frigid reef]

where the link

[chilly peak]

portmaster is foss

and yes firewall

[upbeat shuttle]

below

[chilly peak]

below

[frigid reef]

im not going to the fake country Australia to get a link

[upbeat shuttle]

TO THE LAND DOWN UNDER

[silver cedar]

guess they stole your jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

iirc they're in the US, and I'm in the UK so I don't think I specifically stole their jobs ;)

[silver cedar]

US

there is hope for me

I just hope my other two containers come back in the middle of the night again

like they did before

one of my high paying ones died because I moved the mouse on the pc

and then I intentionally killed a 20 cent one because I want a higher paying one

even better: sgs-client downloads and runs

[gleaming shell]

It will eventually happen with mine too

I have 2 containers and I am waiting for sgs client to download

I'm trying to not restart my laptop

[pulsar arrow]

resist the urge

[gleaming shell]

My main laptop is at 2 days I think
My other laptop is at 14 days i think

[peak terrace]

could get a little nuc or something with that

[gleaming shell]

Could buy a crappy laptop

[safe loom]

hasn’t arrived on the ship yet

[safe loom]

so start salad manually instead of using auto start

[silver cedar]

yeah I learned that lesson

[gleaming wraith]

autostart is so shit

causes more problems

[pulsar arrow]

if 'autostart' autostarts, shouldnt it keep running

there's nothing about an autostop

[quaint gust]

if i had to guess, that's when the schoolchildren come back home from school and then they start to consume social media and so there's more demand

[pulsar arrow]

look at that beautiful graph 🤤

yesterday's sgs client breakdown cost me about 1.5 usd but that's fine

it took me a reinstall to fix it tho

[safe loom]

check out mine

[idle wing]

lmao same

[gleaming wraith]

how u get salad working on ur phone

i can't even log in

[stiff wedge]

sounds like a skill issue

[gleaming wraith]

skill issue hm?

[stiff wedge]

?

[safe loom]

ios or android?

[gleaming wraith]

ios

[stiff wedge]

why cant u get salad on phone

use safari

[safe loom]

go to salad.com/earn

then click the share icon at the bottom

and then add it to home screen

[gleaming wraith]

request desktop app

oh

[safe loom]

won’t work

[gleaming wraith]

kk i'll try soon thanks

[safe loom]

salad has a “min width” for desktop view

[gleaming wraith]

i know

it sucks

[safe loom]

if you have an iphone x or higher, turning it horizontally will let you use the full webapp

[stiff wedge]

na it doesnt

i have 11

[gleaming wraith]

can't even use dev tools with the website at the same time

[stiff wedge]

never works

[safe loom]

or should i say 6” or bigger screen

[safe loom]

11 has a low dpi

it’s really is lower than most of the other iphones

[stiff wedge]

kms

[safe loom]

also make sure you are requesting desktop

[stiff wedge]

whats that

[safe loom]

it’s a setting in safari under the share icon

or it’s a default setting in settings

but it just reports your phone as MacOS

so it thinks you’re on a mac

[gleaming wraith]

so it just changes the user agent

[stiff wedge]

ill have a look

[safe loom]

yeah

i’m pretty sure it’s a setting in all webkit browsers

like chromium, firefox, opera gx

opera gx is chromium ish but the mobile app isn’t iirc

[stiff wedge]

i give up

safari kinda goofy with salad website on my phone

[safe loom]

tough

[stiff wedge]

i already have it bookmarked or wahtever its called on my phone so its fin

[safe loom]

well i works on my iphone 7

so me personally

i’m balling

[frigid reef]

what one are you going to

[stiff wedge]

?

[frigid reef]

are you going to salad.com/earn or app.salad.io/earn

[stiff wedge]

dw its fine i have it on my phone ages ago

lok

[frigid reef]

ye thats normal, you can only see your earnings graph on the phone

[stiff wedge]

ik

[peak terrace]

beloved

[peak terrace]

iphone moment

[safe loom]

indeed

android too cannot use the store on mobile

except for certain devices

[frigid reef]

Ratio

[peak terrace]

all my android devices at least have a means of loading the desktop version of a site built in

[safe loom]

natively?

without tomfoolery with screen display?

salad has a minimum width of 840px wide

most phones don’t have that

[pulsar arrow]

it is possible

Chrome has a feature

[uncut bluff]

ayo now @neon blade can see ur balance

[pulsar arrow]

portrait and horizontal

this is so convenient that I haven't used my laptop to buy stuff from the store in like 2 months

[peak terrace]

built into chrome yes, it runs the website at a virtual resolution of usually three times that of the mobile one

safari on my iphone does not have such a feature

and even on third party browsers it doesn't ever work

[safe loom]

then it’s not native you dipshit

[peak terrace]

??

[safe loom]

if you’re using the setting to artificially change screen size it’s not native

[peak terrace]

chrome gives you the option to load the desktop version of a website and safari does not

[peak terrace]

did i say it was?

[safe loom]

safari does indeed

[safe loom]

yes

[peak terrace]

chrome on android does not give the option to run websites at the native display resolution

[safe loom]

then it can’t run them natively

[peak terrace]

but it can increase the virtual resolution that the website can see so it can scale as if it were on a desktop or at least a higher res display

[safe loom]

therefore they equally can’t run the site

without what i said under “natively”

without and any screen display tomfoolery

[peak terrace]

yes they can

[safe loom]

that’s not native

[peak terrace]

I know

But it's the desktop version of the website

[safe loom]

so it can’t run the site

[peak terrace]

As compared to the mobile version

[safe loom]

you can use the desktop site on iphone and it works?

[peak terrace]

On my 6s running iOS 15 it didn't work

[safe loom]

what’s your point here

[peak terrace]

But there again it has a tint display

[safe loom]

the 6s doesn’t have a big enough display

[peak terrace]

That in my experience iPhones do not load desktop versions of websites properly

I have a 6s+, should test that

[safe loom]

that also does not have a big enough screen

[peak terrace]

it's the size of my android physically

but with a 16:9 ratio display instead of 20:9 like my android

[pulsar arrow]

it doesn't depend on your screen size

it just virtualises it

unless iPhones are stupid

I've never used one before

[peak terrace]

well it is kind of, if your android phone is set to have a lower DPI in settings then everything gets smaller and desktop versions of websites load with higher virtual resolution

it sort of depends on how the scaling is set on android

[pulsar arrow]

h

[safe loom]

what?

it depends on pixel density

[peak terrace]

this

[safe loom]

the smaller screen the smaller pixel density

[peak terrace]

it is a function of resolution and size

[safe loom]

6in screens usually have enough pixel density for it to be larger than 840px wide horizontally

[idle wing]

wow starting bw with containers do be getting those jobs a lot faster somehow

[upbeat shuttle]

epic

[hybrid delta]

give me my jobs back >:(

[upbeat shuttle]

no >:)

I have reclaimed my jobs!!

[hybrid delta]

for now...

[stiff wedge]

lucky u my max pay is only $0.03

[gleaming shell]

imagine

i dont get jobs

ez

im trying to not break anything so i can keep my laptop on for a month straight

[gentle osprey]

cool

[pulsar arrow]

the Nottingham speedtest server is destroying my upload speeds

why won't it connect to fking london

it starts at 20mbps then quickly drops to 3

when I restart the test it connects to Germany for some awful reason

beta 2 btw

[safe loom]

that’s happening with everyone

mine start at 80 and drops to 5

[hollow vortex]

mine starts at 50ish and drops to 5 sometimes LOL

[shrewd terrace]

Which one of you stole my jobs

[pulsar arrow]

me

[gleaming shell]

not me

I'm not gonna be stealing jobs for a while

[shrewd terrace]

Gib them back

[shrewd terrace]

Gonna steal my jobs back

[upbeat shuttle]

maintaining my jobs

[frigid reef]

mine are being sussy again

[hybrid delta]

now its gone >:(

[peak terrace]

what is your upload speed

I have 32mbps and get the exact same amount

[upbeat shuttle]

150 down, 25 up

in theory

[peak terrace]

I have 150/32

[upbeat shuttle]

it seems like I'm actually getting like 30-32 upload 👀

if task manager is to be trusted

[frigid reef]

no

[upbeat shuttle]

I'll run a speed test the next time my bandwidth sharing dies

[peak terrace]

Ookla speed test says 29mbps but task manager says 32mbps

our broadband package is meant to be 150/32

[upbeat shuttle]

I wouldn't be surprised if task manager is a bit inaccurate

[gleaming shell]

Wtf I have a bit faster download and upload and I have gotten a job in months

Us bandwidth sharing moment

[upbeat shuttle]

rip

[peak terrace]

imagine not being bri'ish

[kindred helm]

i dont have to imagine that 💀

i seem to leave a trail of dead chats whenever i type

[subtle condor]

I live in Nottingham 🙂

[frigid reef]

@upbeat shuttle why you ddos me

[upbeat shuttle]

:)

[frigid reef]

But fr my whole internet just died for 5 minutes

[upbeat shuttle]

same thing happened to me a few days ago

I just stopped and started chopping and earnings started coming back after a couple hours

[frigid reef]

yeah i wonder what earnings are bandwidth and what is container

[upbeat shuttle]

hehh

Bandwidth Sharing really carrying 💪

[frigid reef]

yeah without it im getting 0.005 per 15 minutes

[upbeat shuttle]

hopefully this new internet will be installed in a couple days

[frigid reef]

hopefully i get a job you cant steal by then

[upbeat shuttle]

I can steal any jobs >:)

[frigid reef]

about to run the whole of uk bandwidth sharing by yourself

[upbeat shuttle]

not all of it yet

only going for 450/450 to start with

[frigid reef]

ah ye forgot you cant get the 2000/2000 without digging stuff up right?

[upbeat shuttle]

2 gigabit doesn't require digging up stuff

[frigid reef]

ah i thought you said it did

[upbeat shuttle]

you might've confused things heh

2 gigabit would require me to get a 2.5/5/10 gigabit capable router

[frigid reef]

hmm i thought you said something about digging up the drive way thats why your not gonna get it

i must be crazy

[upbeat shuttle]

and swapping out the nvme drive on my bandwidth sharing laptop with a 2.5 gigabit NIC

[upbeat shuttle]

I might've mentioned that they might need to dig up some stuff in order to get the cable to me, but I think we've found an alternative route :)

[frigid reef]

ah okay

[silver cedar]

I wonder if I would have gotten bw sharing if I had like a gigabit upload

like I have gigabit download but only 40 max upload

but I'm in the US

[small falcon]

When is salad bandwidth coming in asia

[upbeat shuttle]

refer to the pinned FAQs

[hollow vortex]

img having 1200 down 40 up and not even making 20 cents a day . in the US lol

[pseudo fog]

Prove them wrong, BW Sharing gods

[hollow vortex]

well unless you make it out of cardboard or some sort cheap product , hes correct lol

[pseudo fog]

you could save

[shrewd terrace]

that would take like 100 years

[pseudo fog]

Not rlly

[shrewd terrace]

yes really

if you earn $5 a day thats like 1700 a year

is gonna take 100 years for a house

[pseudo fog]

i thought houses were much cheaper

[shrewd terrace]

wrong

[vagrant dirge]

If you look at the speed reported in task manager, it seems like the test stops working half way

[safe loom]

you can check the logs and see it yourself

!logs it’s under “ndm”

[sick helm]

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

[vagrant dirge]

It get what you mean, what I’m saying is that the server doesn’t receive anything halfway during the test hence why the speed suddenly drops

[shrewd terrace]

My container setting dissapeared?

I have the newest beta (beta3)

[kindred helm]

Wait i forgot
What's the name of this thread again

[shrewd terrace]

Bandwith sharing faw and troubleshooting

ah shit

wrong one, Sorry

[idle wing]

The Uk people could technically pay their rent by using salad

[frigid reef]

very funny

[safe loom]

or their internet bill

free internet

[frigid reef]

no i can pay mine

[safe loom]

baller

[pulsar arrow]

stealing jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

nice

looks like that's basically maxing out your connection!

[gentle osprey]

How fast is your internet?

[frigid reef]

my guess would be somewhere near the 20-30mbps

[pulsar arrow]

yep, around 50mbps of throughput in sgs client

[pulsar arrow]

132/22

[pulsar arrow]

although I'd earn more when demand is higher

like around 0.045-5 before it crashed

but this is fine enough for me

[pulsar arrow]

@neon blade

[neon blade]

?

[pulsar arrow]

u pinged me

or replies

[neon blade]

Yes I did

[pulsar arrow]

and u deleted it

so yes

[neon blade]

I thought the sentence didn't make sense

[lost sonnet]

my pc is directly connected to wifi with unlimited plan, so how will it affect my wifi? will the videos come in my history? also it wont slow down my wifi/damage it by any means right?

[pseudo fog]

Just like when you download smth, it slows doen

down*

And wym by damage?

btw, it uses a vpn for bw sharing and iirc you cant really see the vids too

[lost sonnet]

does it slow down even when i have quitted salad? like not permanent right? because while downloading 2-3gb files the full thing slows down but it goes back to normal if we cancel/pause/complete the download
so yes im familiar with it

[pseudo fog]

Yeah it cant do that

Unless u have a limited usage

[lost sonnet]

so it does use my wifi

[pseudo fog]

Bandwidth is wifi

[stiff wedge]

Wdym mean by using vpn what

[pseudo fog]

it just creates a vpn

[lost sonnet]

EhuhUM

[stiff wedge]

Bandwidth sharing is basically using your ip address as a proxy that big company uses to download/upload stuff or do researches

[lost sonnet]

does it use my wifi or not? and how does it use my internet?

[stiff wedge]

So having it on and getting jobs your wifi will be slowed down

[lost sonnet]

ic

if i turn it off my wifi should get back to normal right if its unlimited plan

[stiff wedge]

Mhm

[lost sonnet]

also unlimited ones have no other risks etc right

[stiff wedge]

No don’t think so

[lost sonnet]

Ok thx ill try later

[pseudo fog]

If its ACTUALLY unlimited then no probs yeah

[stiff wedge]

^

[lost sonnet]

im paying for unlimited 😊

[pseudo fog]

Aka 7 trillion?

[lost sonnet]

dude how much will salad even use for maximum?

Like its not gonna use the whole internet data

[pseudo fog]

ofc nto

[lost sonnet]

so then i think its enough

i get 240mbps speed

and the company cant say nothing as they named it unlimited

[pseudo fog]

upload?

[lost sonnet]

dont know that

[subtle condor]

two ghost pings #show-off-your-earnings :P

[upbeat shuttle]

heh

[thorn lantern]

mine crashed once and getting random jobs then they disconect

[hollow vortex]

Making 34 cents with container on top, pretty shit. Almost don't pay to run it at this point .

[pulsar arrow]

I get the frustration bud

[hollow vortex]

I'll leave it run for another month or so. But don't see any improvements. Not ganna waste anymore time on it as it will barely pay for itself running lol

[gentle osprey]

Wow almost like mine

[chilly peak]

well earnings will be changing when containers fully release, it's still a beta

[hollow vortex]

I know , aswell with bandwidth running. I'm just saying .

[hollow vortex]

100% aware.

[thorn lantern]

f i am earing 3.40 not to flex (uk)

[thorn lantern]

mine 260/25

[gleaming shell]

Imagine
I'm earning 0 cents in months

[thorn lantern]

u so rich

btw have tried it to go though the firewall

it worked for me

[gleaming shell]

I feel like my bandwidth sharing isn't broken
I think I'm just very far down the queue

[hollow vortex]

I'm 1200/40 get no where near that . Us has shitty paying jobs lol

[thorn lantern]

f

[thorn lantern]

then come to uk with your boardband

[hollow vortex]

Lol

[thorn lantern]

i have a question can you use you own isp internet to bandwith share ?

[upbeat shuttle]

huh

[hollow vortex]

You're doing it now , lol just under salad and not your own company

Most bandwidth sharing companies are stationed outside the US cause the US has strict isps

[reef linden]

looks like im not able to get bandwidth jobs anymore

[pulsar arrow]

u aren't running CPU contains with bandwith are you

[reef linden]

am I still able to get Bandwidth jobs with a fraud score of 43?

[frigid reef]

we dont know

[reef linden]

is that high tho

[frigid reef]

idk

[upbeat shuttle]

Mine's at 58 with ipqualityscore.com and it's still working perfectly fine :)

'low risk proxy connection'

[frigid reef]

mine is 0

[safe loom]

i’m not checking mine

[safe loom]

be like a credit score check, cost +15

[reef linden]

and what about this

[safe loom]

how you blacklisted from a fish

[frigid reef]

look to be ip blacklists for spam filters

[reef linden]

well i didnt do anything

[safe loom]

prob some site you’ve clicked on at some point

[hollow vortex]

I am

[frigid reef]

have you used honeygain in the past

[pulsar arrow]

oh you are, container doesnt work with bw

[frigid reef]

it does

[hollow vortex]

It does lol

[safe loom]

you could also be in an area where malicious activity happens, so quality isn’t as good there

[pulsar arrow]

wha

damn

[safe loom]

cpu mining doesn’t

cpu sharing does

[frigid reef]

its only cpu mining that doesn't work with bw sharing

[safe loom]

official name for containers

cpu amd gpu sharing

[reef linden]

only for a short period of time

[frigid reef]

most likely why then

[safe loom]

that’ll do it

[reef linden]

wait fr

how can i remove these frauds

[frigid reef]

uhhh get a new ip

[safe loom]

don’t think you can, other than ^ getting assigned a new ip

depending how your internet is setup you can power off your router for ~2 minutes and it may change your ip

if it’s a dynamic ip setup

[pulsar arrow]

highest in a day

[safe loom]

one could wish

[limpid stump]

how do I get a better server

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice

[full pagoda]

Blacklisted

Damn

[limpid stump]

still a question

[reef linden]

well i should be fine

[full pagoda]

Define fine*

[safe loom]

you don’t

[limpid stump]

you don't seem to be helping anybody

[safe loom]

i just did

you can’t change it

[upbeat shuttle]

you can't change the server that the speed test thingy connects to

[safe loom]

the default speed test servers for librespeed do not include most locations

so it chooses the closest

which is why, infact, you don’t

[limpid stump]

Doesn't restarting your computer reset the server

or find a better one

[safe loom]

no

it resets the test

and the test will select the closest server

[limpid stump]

I live in cali not virginia

[safe loom]

well virginia is the closest server

[limpid stump]

more like Virgin-ia

[safe loom]

me personally, i live in australia and my speed test uses virginia

tough luck

[limpid stump]

time to move to virginia

[safe loom]

why

it’s only for the speedtest

after the speedtest it has no effect on bandwidth sharing

[limpid stump]

to be closer to the server

o

but my speed from speedtest.net is 36 up and in the salad speedtest its 6 up

[safe loom]

i’m aware

salad is also aware of the bug

and i’m sure the bandwidth team is looking into it

it seems to be a bug with the librespeed cli test itself

which is why you won’t have the issue using fast, oakla or any other speedtests

[lost sonnet]

190-220 mbps

[limpid stump]

WHAT

UPLOAD??!!!

[lost sonnet]

its showing that

2

[limpid stump]

I ONLY HAVE LIKE 35

[frigid reef]

ok

[lost sonnet]

Nova its Okay right?

[frigid reef]

ye thats very good

[lost sonnet]

Cool

thx

[lost sonnet]

how tf is your down 704 and upload 32

[limpid stump]

I don't have a single idea.

[upbeat shuttle]

ISP cheaping out

[lost sonnet]

Which website are you using

[limpid stump]

www.speedtest.net

speedtest.net

https://www.speedtest.net/

[frigid reef]

pretty common ngl

[lost sonnet]

try fast.com or www.speed.io

[lost sonnet]

oh

[frigid reef]

alot of isps give really high download and really low upload

[lost sonnet]

Hm

[lost sonnet]

doesn't sound good

[upbeat shuttle]

just added this to the pinned FAQs

[frigid reef]

tbh you never really need that much upload

[limpid stump]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kiss-gif-25376137

[frigid reef]

anything like 30 is fine for like 95% of people

[lost sonnet]

ya lol its my first time checking upload too

[frigid reef]

more like 15mbps tbh

[lost sonnet]

ic

[frigid reef]

:D

[lost sonnet]

dam

i cant run for like more than 3 hours/day barely earn anything

[frigid reef]

yeah bandwidth sharing is good for people that can run for many days at a time

[lost sonnet]

Yup waiting for it to come in India too..

[frigid reef]

i swear everyone is from india here

[lost sonnet]

lol

[upbeat shuttle]

also just added another one;

Will Bandwidth Sharing slow down the internet speeds for other devices on my network?

[lost sonnet]

i know the reason

But why spoil the fun

right

[frigid reef]

because your economy isnt the best and salad provides a very easy way to earn decent money
