Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[lost sonnet]

nah

our economy feels sufficient here though its falling little by little

The reason is

90% of the indians here are students who wants to try new games/nitro/etc and don't want to use parents money, so we try to earn easy money

even in my case my parents can buy those things but nah

also dont forget the population part

[pulsar arrow]

1 billion bw users moment

[subtle condor]

goddamn

XD

rip all the people who are doing videos calls on my internet downstairs LOL

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice (again)

My wifi struggles to even download a 80gb file

Takes hours

Used to take less time

[subtle condor]

wtf

[peak terrace]

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice (again again)

Wait nvm

I didn't see the right

[peak terrace]

yes

[gleaming shell]

But still
Alive bandwidth sharing

[peak terrace]

it is not doing anything

[gleaming shell]

My sgs client has been long in the coffin

[peak terrace]

that's containers doing that flat bit at the right

it's running but no jobs

[gleaming shell]

Mine is not running, no jobs

Mine isn't even downloaded lol

[upbeat shuttle]

had the same happen to me, leave it for a day and if it doesn't pick back up, try stopping chopping, then starting again

[white knot]

btw any range/exact date 4 anymore countries can have bw sharing available? (ps: ik some countries like japan will have it very soon)

[upbeat shuttle]

We don't have any dates - or even any rough time estimates

I'm pretty sure the pinned FAQ on this goes into more detail

[pseudo fog]

someone could go "BRO I NEED TO STREAM SOME SHIT ON JAPAN ISPS IMA GIVE 5000 JOBS ON SALAD BAMDWIDTH" and itd be available

[upbeat shuttle]

yep

[lost sonnet]

where can i check my data usage

[safe loom]

i have an average of 700mbps but only 40 up

[lost sonnet]

oh

my service provider be trippin

but 40 is like more than enough right

[safe loom]

yea

it’s like 1 high kb 4k stream

and if you’re watching in 4k then you can have like 4 simultaneous streams

which is plenty since most people only have 1-2 4k displays

[pulsar arrow]

happening to me rn

why tf does it stop every 2 days

[chilly peak]

in windows you can search "data usage"

then press data usage again

mine is not as much as others

ofc cause no bandwidth sharing

[lost sonnet]

Thank you soo much

[pulsar arrow]

my bw is back!

[safe loom]

190 gb in steamvr

lord have mercy

[chilly peak]

That’s not that bad

especially since it’s just local connection

[safe loom]

yes it is

i have played like 30 hours of vr

and used like 500mb

[chilly peak]

probably because I use ALVR?

[safe loom]

wha

isn’t that for quests to steamvr

[chilly peak]

Yes

[safe loom]

isn’t quest native to steam??

[chilly peak]

what?

[safe loom]

when i used my quest on link it natively connected to steam

[frigid reef]

ye that is a wireless one though

do you connected wired or wireless

[chilly peak]

you go through oculus then to steam

[safe loom]

link has wireless and wired

[chilly peak]

ALVR is directly to steam

and doesn’t need the oculus app installed

because of that

[safe loom]

i have games on there though

i need to work on reVived

so i can play oculus

[frigid reef]

best bandwidth day in a long time ||since multiple pcs sharing bandwidth on 1 network was allowed||

8.6 dollars in a day

[upbeat shuttle]

nice

bandwidth maxed out?

and how much was containers a part of that

[frigid reef]

i earn about 80 cents a day from containers

also yeah basically maxed out for most of it i think

i kinda dont wanna remote into it as its gonna take up bandwidth thats needed to be shared :3

[upbeat shuttle]

stupid bw sharing died again

[frigid reef]

my jobs now

[upbeat shuttle]

twice now that my internet has went out

for no reason

[frigid reef]

they not happy you getting better internet

[pseudo fog]

im confusing nova and ozua now

[upbeat shuttle]

not bad

[pseudo fog]

ima try to run sgs-client

in an unsupported country

but

i need someone that has bw sharing

who wants to help me

[upbeat shuttle]

uh not gonna work

if you're not in a supported country then either wait or give up

[pseudo fog]

i really dont mind

[frigid reef]

ye so what your gonna do is go to an airport, and get a one way ticket to a supported country

and bam go to that supported country and now you got bw sharing

[pseudo fog]

ok

only one true person can help me

my us referral

[stiff wedge]

Bedwars sharing

[frigid reef]

how you got feb 11th selected its the 9th today

[upbeat shuttle]

w e e k

[frigid reef]

ah

[frigid reef]

ah, i have shared 1.7tb to the sgs-rose gateway this week

[silver cedar]

i wonder if there is a way to force it to download

[thorn lantern]

nice

[silver cedar]

US users have it bad

[upbeat shuttle]

it'll download sgs-client when you're deemed worthy to receive jobs

[silver cedar]

I was worthy at some point

[upbeat shuttle]

if you're far back in the queue, there's not much point downloading and running sgs-client, if you're not gonna get any jobs at all

[hollow vortex]

I get SGS running within 20 mins of starting salad, however the amount of bandwidth i share is complete trash , 10 gigs a day if im lucky - 3 weeks ago i was doing 100-120 gigs a day. huge difference. US here too.

[frigid reef]

you just gotta run it for longer

to have more of a chance to get higher usage jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

indeed

it considers how long you've been running it

though I wouldn't expect you to get as much data / earnings as people not in the US

[hollow vortex]

Leaving it run for weeks without a reboot. But yeah ok

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

maybe that really do be the max

[silver cedar]

tell me your ways

the fact you even have it running

[hollow vortex]

just think the jobs are limited and US IPS arent needed as much.

a huge decrease.

[hollow vortex]

idk i just turn on , and bam lol. do nothing speciall

[elder void]

@frigid reef sorry for ping but will there be bandwidth update for Europe

for more countries

[elder void]

😦

i had a vm in London

[carmine shore]

bro i wish canada was on that list 😭

[frigid reef]

i mean the priority list dosent mean anything really

[carmine shore]

ah okay

[frigid reef]

Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Australia were not on the list yet got added before it

[carmine shore]

yeah okay]

[vagrant dirge]

Is bandwidth sharing in Australia officially out?

[gentle osprey]

i think its still beta

someone correct me if im incorrect

[vagrant dirge]

Because salad sent an email about “increased earnings”

[gentle osprey]

on bandwidth or gpu containers

i remember they sent one out for gpu containers also

[quartz whale]

broooo

why bandwidht not in india?

[gentle osprey]

because there isnt a company in india that wants ur bandwidth

maybe soon though™️

[quartz whale]

what does that mean?

[gentle osprey]

what does what mean

[quartz whale]

nvm~

[gentle osprey]

ok lol

[humble sapphire]

how do i get sgs cilent i only have ndm in workloads

[frigid reef]

:O

[upbeat shuttle]

please read through the pinned messages before asking a question

[gentle osprey]

How did u get so much

Gpu containers or bandwidth

[frigid reef]

Read the channel name

[gentle osprey]

Oh

[safe loom]

gonna try a completely bandwidthn't test and see if sgs starts

[peak terrace]

it doesn't run in vms

[peak terrace]

why did you hide those lmao

[vagrant dirge]

I discovered something with the servers

The Virginia one is the problem

[frigid reef]

Nice ip you got there @safe loom

[safe loom]

thats the server ip

you dipshit

[vagrant dirge]

I ran the test today and it uses the Los Angeles server and it was perfectly fine

[safe loom]

now ill paste it back if you dont mind me

since thats not my ip

[frigid reef]

Uhhh for me it shows my ip there

So have fun I guess

[safe loom]

well ive memorised my ip

and thats not my ip

if you check it, its a tpg ip 😨

which is the server im testing through

[frigid reef]

Ah guess it’s diffrent for Australia then

Or something like that idk

[safe loom]

it also uses a different ip each test

an my ip starts with 2

so

i can wireshark the test if youd like

[frigid reef]

Eh can’t be bothered just saying keep an eye out as it might start showing your ip randomly

[safe loom]

im aware, i check ipinfo on all logs before sending them 😊

1 test did have my modem ip though

[vagrant dirge]

Good thing about Australia is after you pass the annoying speed test you get jobs instantly

[safe loom]

indeed

the trouble is the speedtest

:trollstare:

[safe loom]

@gray solstice can we get a troll stare/despairge emote?

[vagrant dirge]

I ran the speed test while moving around the house and it finally moved me to the Los Angeles server instead of the dreaded Virginia server which stops the upload test half way

[safe loom]

im on ethernet

so

i cannot recreate

it seems the the virginia server is infact the rpoblem

[pulsar arrow]

only in virginia

my graph is hideous 🥲

[vagrant dirge]

Yeah

[silver cedar]

I've tried blocking certain servers using the hosts file and the test just doesn't start when I do lo

[safe loom]

you love to see it boys

you really do

[silver cedar]

one day I'll take some innocent US users spot

[safe loom]

not a chance

if you're in US you may aswell give up trying 💀

[silver cedar]

I have been running a container for the past few days so the longer it runs the more likely

although it hasn't downloaded sgs-client since September

[pulsar arrow]

British Empire reigning in Bandwith sharing moment

[pulsar arrow]

Very unpopular opinion but worked for me once, reinstall your windows

try at your own discretion

[silver cedar]

i can try that on a different device when I get home

as a matter of fact I might just straight up pull out my old Inspiron 530s so I can have yet another device

and I'll hook it into the Ethernet to see if it will give decent bandwidth

[safe loom]

@frigid reef

something tells me

thats not right

it also has a bunch of australia ips

and 2 american ones

which im not going to show 👍

[gleaming shell]

The US is really bad rn

And it has been bad

For months

[hollow vortex]

this is usually my host for sgs. normal for me.

[hollow vortex]

or 24 hours

[safe loom]

tuff

i accidentally disabled bandwidth and not cpu

lol

went from 5 cents per 15 to 0.002

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth used 800 gigs in 2 days

amazin

[safe loom]

still paying static 60

nvm a job started

LOL

[gleaming shell]

Buying human hearts and limbs from bandwidth earnings when

[pulsar arrow]

wen idnia bendwiti

[safe loom]

no

[gleaming shell]

no

[lost sonnet]

is better Upload speed+unlimited data=More income?

[opal relic]

i used betternet free vpn

and bandwith showed

[shrewd terrace]

where do i get this sgs-client from?

[frigid reef]

? Wdym

[frigid reef]

yes the option shows but even if sgs-client runs salad blocks the connection

[frigid reef]

enable bandwidth sharing if your in a support country and start salad

[shrewd terrace]

i have

in taskmanager is no sgs

[frigid reef]

check out pinned messages then

[shrewd terrace]

i did

theres nothing how i get the sgs

[frigid reef]

#1021501189977813002 message

wow i found it in pins

[shrewd terrace]

i already read it, i dont know what to do

[frigid reef]

whats your internet speed

[shrewd terrace]

40 upload

[frigid reef]

and download?

[shrewd terrace]

100

[frigid reef]

what location

[shrewd terrace]

germany

[frigid reef]

well tbh there is nothing else we know on how to get it to work except whats in pins so just gotta wait ig

[shrewd terrace]

[safe loom]

shouldn’t it be using an australian gateway host?

[safe loom]

even with my shitty tests

it started

[shrewd terrace]

wasnt there someone that put the client manually in the folder?

[safe loom]

so literally all you can do

[frigid reef]

that dosent work

[safe loom]

is wait

[safe loom]

that wouldn’t work

id assume each region has a different config, and maybe even each user

[frigid reef]

hmm i guess they couldent get one/or it was too expensive so it uses the Singapore one

[safe loom]

but it’s using the uk one for me

[frigid reef]

thats not the uk one

[safe loom]

or is that like

[frigid reef]

thats the Singapore one

[safe loom]

do they have the domain in one place and servers in the other

[frigid reef]

that domain is in Singapore

[safe loom]

also yeah singapore has like 90 ms from me, but it’s like 10x cheaper

[safe loom]

why’s glasswire saying uk then

[frigid reef]

possibly because the company they get the servers from is a uk company

but i can assure you its a Singapore server

[safe loom]

hmmm

makes sense

i accidentally disabled it and lost the job

but when i enabled it i got a job back

so my test must be working now

[shrewd terrace]

i had to reinstall salad twice and now the sgs- client is showing in task manager
now i have to just wait to get a job right?

[safe loom]

yeah

which country are you in?

[shrewd terrace]

germany

[safe loom]

ah

[shrewd terrace]

how can i run container with it?

[frigid reef]

just enable cpu when you got the container things enabled

[shrewd terrace]

i thought cpu doesnt work with bw

[frigid reef]

only cpu mining dosent work

[shrewd terrace]

huh? theres only one enable cpu button

[subtle condor]

CPU mining and container are different things

Container beta is a different version of salad which replaces CPU mining with container

[shrewd terrace]

like this?

[subtle condor]

Yes

[shrewd terrace]

thanks

thanks virgin media, most stable isp

[frigid reef]

everyone says this but its better then sky

for me at least

its rare to get a outage

[peak terrace]

I think that's less to do with the ISP and more to do with salad not getting jobs

[shrewd terrace]

internet went down

[peak terrace]

delete the internet

[safe loom]

don’t live in the uk next time 👍

[reef linden]

alright thats it no more bandwidth jobs for me

wtf did I do

[hollow vortex]

not you - its your ISP provider.

[reef linden]

🤔

[hollow vortex]

Just meaning your ISP is known for fraud shit. meaning they don't give a shit what goes through there system cause the laws where hosted is weak/or very few of them and do nothing about it.

[reef linden]

oh ok then

im still unable to get bandwidth jobs

it just doesnt work

idk why

[hollow vortex]

So alot of bullshit goes though your ISP liek scam, spam, and fraud . not meaning you personally doing it.

not sure if that affects anything maybe salad support can chime in and get some info on it

[frigid reef]

germany dosent have a customer but is spun up as a test net atm

[pseudo fog]

my ip score is 0

[modern panther]

my ip score is 1 million (i ddosed everyone on the internet)

[gleaming shell]

What if I ddos everyone that has bandwidth sharing so I can get the bandwidth jobs
ez

[modern panther]

what if i hijacked everyones computer to run salad as my account and turned on everything for maximum profit

🧌

[gleaming shell]

You'll need to make it to where ppl can't use ur account to buy stuff then

[hollow vortex]

you need to log in before doing so. ez

[safe loom]

@upbeat shuttle i’m ecstatic

at the start of the graph is a peak time

and late peak time starts now

5-11

[upbeat shuttle]

oh yeah I've gotta restart bandwidth sharing again

oh i didn't finish doing windows updates before i fell asleep

frick

[safe loom]

tuff

[vagrant dirge]

Mine follows the same trend, but my highs and lows have a smaller difference

[lost sonnet]

How long have we been waiting 💀

an year or less?

[upbeat shuttle]

?

[lost sonnet]

bendwit shering in india

i Mean

wait

[vagrant dirge]

Your waiting for the customer

Nothing that salad can do about it

[lost sonnet]

im new so i just wanted to know since when

im not blaming anyone lol

[upbeat shuttle]

i think my pinned faqs answer this pretty well

[gentle osprey]

soon™️

[lost sonnet]

yeah

💀

[gentle osprey]

there arent any estimate

since salad just waits for a customer

[lost sonnet]

when was bendwit launched

[gentle osprey]

idk

[lost sonnet]

tht waa my only question lmao

[gentle osprey]

i wasnt paying attention for like 2 years

[frigid reef]

September 2022

around there i think

that or august

[lost sonnet]

oh um nice someone said years

[frigid reef]

nah its not that old

[lost sonnet]

Oh then theres still hope

[shrewd terrace]

rip my jobs

[quaint gust]

you get jobs?

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm in the UK

[pulsar arrow]

💀

[safe loom]

pure bandwidth goodness

wild

in just under 24 hrs

[subtle condor]

l

lol

[safe loom]

thats like ~3tb

[safe loom]

yeah well salad has the support of a tech startup

its dogshit

[subtle condor]

wat

[safe loom]

my librespeed has been broken since beta 3 release

and its finally fixed

[vagrant dirge]

Speed doesn't matter in Australia, I'm running a 100/40 plan

[safe loom]

im on min 350/40

but i get around 5-700/40

[subtle condor]

damn just lost 6 days uptime of bandwidth, there was a powercut ;-;

[frigid reef]

all good

[upbeat shuttle]

oof

best strat is to get a laptop and a UPS for the router

assuming your ISP has a UPS for their infrastructure as well

[frigid reef]

If they don’t that’s a bit silly

[subtle condor]

it's fine anyway, it seems to have started back up again :P

might take a while to get any good jobs though

[frigid reef]

hmm are you in the uk

i forgor

[subtle condor]

yes

[frigid reef]

hmm we apparently have more customers then users so it shouldent take long

[subtle condor]

yaay :3

okay well that's good to hear

[frigid reef]

came from bob himself

[subtle condor]

it is doing something, but not using as much bandwidth as it normally does

it normally also averages 700gb per day

oh well, it's still passive earnings so who cares lol

[frigid reef]

yeah when you restart it takes a tiny bit to get back up to normal earnings again

normally for me was like a day or two

[lost sonnet]

time to shift to bendwit supporting countreeyy

[subtle condor]

Yea, like I really can't complain about that tbh

lots of people complain about how little salad is making and stuff like that but they don't realize it's free money lmao

[frigid reef]

also that atm its most likely gonna be the lostwest its gonna be in a while when they setup all the container stuff and get containers we gonna be earning more

[subtle condor]

ooh yea, fair enough

lol bandwidth sharing already is back at full earnings :D

[upbeat shuttle]

it'll ramp up soon

oho i didn't see newer messages

[pulsar arrow]

upgradin to gigabit to steal all your jobs

jk

[upbeat shuttle]

haha same

not jk

[pulsar arrow]

[pseudo fog]

does someone want to help me

[upbeat shuttle]

oh boy do i

[pseudo fog]

:(

[upbeat shuttle]

whart do you need?

[pseudo fog]

bandwdidth shitting attempt in an unsupported country

[frigid reef]

oh boy nevermind

:O

[upbeat shuttle]

do you have an idea for how you'd do that yet?

[frigid reef]

I do :3

[pseudo fog]

im accepting help

[safe loom]

i know a way

it definitely breaks tos though

[subtle condor]

yessir

[thorn lantern]

hi

[pulsar arrow]

hi

[thorn lantern]

whats your eaning

s

?

[pseudo fog]

day 1 of asking who here has bandwith sharing and wants to help me

[thorn lantern]

i do i want to help

How can I help you ?

[pseudo fog]

dms

[thorn lantern]

k

[frigid reef]

Day 1 of saying just move to a support country just not the uk

[thorn lantern]

the guy asked me to show folders but i used his screenshot and sent it back to him

[pseudo fog]

huh?

[thorn lantern]

its impossable

[pseudo fog]

oh

smartie

[thorn lantern]

see

[pseudo fog]

if i ever get it to work im gonna shove it on your face so hard

thank you for the sudden motivation

[thorn lantern]

ok

just buy a ticket to the usa

and go there

just going to cost you $500 plus ecomadation and wifi

big profit

[shrewd terrace]

not gonna work

[hollow vortex]

if u can manage to tunnel to a supportive country with a acceptable ping - it'll work.

[frigid reef]

Well im gonna laugh when salad bans you for breaking tos

[pseudo fog]

what tos :)

[frigid reef]

https://salad.com/terms/chefs

[shrewd terrace]

basically useless

[pseudo fog]

which one i meant

[shrewd terrace]

nice recovery

[frigid reef]

one of them, cant be bothered to find it again

[thorn lantern]

good

[hollow vortex]

cant be bothered to help that guy out lol

[thorn lantern]

what your earning rn

[hollow vortex]

about .37 cents average 24 w/ bandwidth US

so poop in other words.

[pseudo fog]

what is a sign taht bw sharing is good and working?

just it appearing on performance, getting jobs or

[upbeat shuttle]

[pseudo fog]

sure

sweet

[stiff wedge]

P

[pulsar arrow]

O

[pseudo fog]

hmmm

i think i did it idk

time to wait 69 hours for bw sharing to calculate next 24 hours

[hollow vortex]

bw sharing doesn't calculate future earnings....

[pseudo fog]

bruv

[upbeat shuttle]

ah I thought I had this answered in a FAQ but I didn't

I've updated the FAQs now to include why Salad can't predict earnings with Bandwidth Sharing

[peak terrace]

the band is not wide enough

it is only two feet wide

small bandwidth

[kindred helm]

the width of the band needs to be bigger

[peak terrace]

40m HF band

good propagation today lads

[upbeat shuttle]

would you like AMMM or FMMMMMM

[gleaming shell]

my biggest flex is that my sgs client isnt downloaded even with 20 days of uptime and having salad running

[upbeat shuttle]

US?

[gleaming shell]

yes, so not that suprising

[upbeat shuttle]

rip

hopefully Salad manages to get more customers there soon

[gleaming shell]

boutta buy a plane ticket to the uk for the bandwidth jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

nO

they're all mine!!

[gleaming shell]

or even better
move to the uk
ddos everyone so i get all the earnigns

[upbeat shuttle]

how about i ddos you 10 minutes after you get bandwidth jobs

(this is a joke)

[gleaming shell]

if i even get the bandwidth jobs

[silver cedar]

me on my way to plant a PC in Australia just for bandwidth sharing

[safe loom]

2 C iirc

7. Try to cheat, game, defraud, misinform, mislead, deceive or trick us in any way in order to accrue more Points/Rewards or for any other reason;
8. Try to fraudulently and falsely manipulate and increase the number of Points/Rewards actually accrued in your Account;
9. Falsely increase your number of Shared Resources in any way;
10. Take any action that imposes, or may impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure;

[subtle condor]

lmao

[gray olive]

how many months it will take to bw will be available to all countries?

[kindred helm]

did you read the pins

"no"

then do it

you also got your answer earlier

[shrewd terrace]

Where can i see this ?

[subtle condor]

Glasswire

[pulsar arrow]

:D

3.72 24h

[upbeat shuttle]

nice

[thorn lantern]

why did you rob my job

i had that same one

[pulsar arrow]

its been this way for the past week

i think

[thorn lantern]

lucky

i get fluctuant

types of jobs

[pulsar arrow]

just wait

theres more demand than supply

so you might hop on a good one soon

restarting just puts you at the end of the queue again

[thorn lantern]

nah i pulled my erthernt cable out

[pulsar arrow]

rip

[small falcon]

why doesn't it come in asia

[upbeat shuttle]

^^

[silver cedar]

what are the chances of getting a job with this test

(in the US)

one of the best tests ive had in a while

[upbeat shuttle]

mmm

well it's impossible to tell

[pulsar arrow]

that should be enough for the minimum required bandwith specs

the problem is getting a job

there's not enough as per the last stream they did with Bob the CEO man

[woven tundra]

About that…

[silver cedar]

so what happens if you force sgs to run through cli

heres a better question what gateways are there

would it even do anything for me if I ran it through cli

[frigid reef]

you just wont get any jobs

as salad themself didnt start it

[silver cedar]

im guessing this is what it looks like when there arent any jobs

[frigid reef]

yep

[silver cedar]

sad

[shrewd terrace]

why does sgs-client keeps stopping ?

[upbeat shuttle]

that's not too descriptive..

[pulsar arrow]

absolutely happy with this shi

the little jumps and drops periodically is me turning off my container on my laptop when I leave with it for class

or when it runs out of battery

[upbeat shuttle]

what speeds?

[pulsar arrow]

135-140/22

can't verify the download as it keeps jumping around

[upbeat shuttle]

oho just a bit lower than me; 150/25 or 30 idk

task manager says like 30-35 but i swear it's supposed to just be 25

[pulsar arrow]

I wish virgin would give me higher uploads

mine was 10up when I signed up for it, then they gave me a free upgrade to 22

[upbeat shuttle]

average ISP, cheaping out on upload

[pulsar arrow]

yes and also, I had like new fibre installed by city fibre in my rooms

for free ofc

and BT and everyone else only gives 1gig down/185up

idk why

it's supposed to be gigabit both ways

[tight atlas]

Why does it work on my PC but not my laptop anymore? What did they change?

No earnings despite client running

[upbeat shuttle]

after how long?

because I've noticed that it takes a good couple of hours for earnings to start ramping up

[upbeat shuttle]

like this

[tight atlas]

Like 12 hours running

Also my pc took like 15m to start earning

So idk

[upbeat shuttle]

what speeds does the latest ndm log say, on the laptop?

[tight atlas]

Iirc it passed those tests

[upbeat shuttle]

maybe it's not managing to get as much speeds as on the pc

[tight atlas]

I don't see why not, they're both connected with cat5e

Also it has same speeds on speedtest website

I'll boot it up and check ndm logs now

a solid 70 download and 20 upload

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

[tight atlas]

in this ss are the bars before the spike just container?

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

[tight atlas]

and you had bandwidth running that long before it decided to work?

[upbeat shuttle]

and it'd been running for a couple hours before the earnings actually started

[tight atlas]

mmm

[upbeat shuttle]

heh

[tight atlas]

ill give it 24 hours this time then ig

[upbeat shuttle]

*sgs-client was running but not receiving any jobs

[tight atlas]

ye

[shrewd terrace]

I am also running it for 12 hours with no earnings

[upbeat shuttle]

there's supposedly more demand for bandwidth than supply in the UK atm, so it theoretically shouldn't really be difficult to get it working

[tight atlas]

idk if my pc is in some priority or smthn

it doesnt take my pc long

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

maybe it's deemed your PC as being more stable/reliable/idk than your laptop

also make sure that you aren't running it on your PC at the same time as on your laptop

since one device per IP

[tight atlas]

i aint even running salad on it just to be sure so yeah

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm

i have a theory

[tight atlas]

well the bowl service still runs :/

[upbeat shuttle]

maybe there's some customers that have a higher minimum than we're used to; 10mbps

[tight atlas]

💀

[upbeat shuttle]

?remindme 1h contact internet ppl

[glacial fox]

I'll remind you on Feb 13, 2023 06:06, contact internet ppl

[modern panther]

for what

[upbeat shuttle]

been waiting since thursday for a pretty simple response from them about the new internet installation

[shrewd terrace]

Well the .exe was running but then stopped after like 4hours (I had gpu disabled and was playing games)

I let i run over night for 12hours(gpu enabled and doing nothing). This time it didnt stop but there are still no earnings from bw (or its so low that i cant see a difference) It used 6MB shows Glasswire

(Germany, 100download, 35upload)

[upbeat shuttle]

ah I remember Bob saying something about there being no actual customers for Germany yet; it's just a 'test net' or something like that

so you might not see your bandwidth being used, but you should be seeing static earnings on some level

[shrewd terrace]

Oh.. and do you know why it stopped the first time? In general salad pauses sometimes.

[pulsar arrow]

maybe it's running out of resources

like when ur playing games, it's running out of bandwidth or the computer becoming too slow to process the traffic from sgs client while you game

it's a theori don't quote me

[hollow vortex]

More US bandwidth demand salad! Lol

[pulsar arrow]

just wait for YouTube to become a customer ig

but then again they have their own infrastructure for content delivery

[tight atlas]

holy shit!!!!

my laptop is finally earning

[upbeat shuttle]

!!!

[pulsar arrow]

?!1

[upbeat shuttle]

at those speeds you should get like $3-4 a day max I think

[tight atlas]

also does better upload = more earnings?

or is it just download

[tight atlas]

perhaps theres less queues at this time

[upbeat shuttle]

well both upload and download matter

[tight atlas]

i guess upload would matter most since its streaming stuff or smthn

[upbeat shuttle]

but you've gotta download the stuff first, in order to upload it

[tight atlas]

welp, wasted potential from my download speed if my upload is only 20

[frigid reef]

its limited by your slowest one, they are as important as each other

as you download the content then instantly upload it

[tight atlas]

indeed but then its still using like 40mb/s download sometimes so it could be wasting it

though it could be doing other stuff with the download idk

[frigid reef]

where are you checking this?

[tight atlas]

task mngr

[frigid reef]

where in task manger?

that actual process network usage or the performance network usage

[tight atlas]

right beside sgs client it tells you what it's using at this moment

[frigid reef]

yeah thats download + upload combined im pretty sure

[tight atlas]

huh

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

[frigid reef]

so yeah its using 20mbs upload + 20mbs download

[tight atlas]

[frigid reef]

earning bank ngl

[silver cedar]

step 1: make bank off of sgs-client from September 6th forced through cli

(it is actually making nothing)

[frigid reef]

ye, i told you it wouldn't

[silver cedar]

the occasional sgs read loop closed

that is all

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice (again again again)

[safe loom]

my task manager says 1000mbps

but i certainly do not have that speed

download, maybe, heavy maybe

upload, not a chance

[earnest sluice]

how can i earn with bandwidth sharing?

[upbeat shuttle]

check out the pinned messages

specifically the FAQs; Frequently Asked Questions

[kindred helm]

[subtle condor]

Has everyone's earnings died lmao

[vagrant dirge]

Yeah in Australia aswell

I haven’t got any jobs in 48 hours

[full pagoda]

It’s clean

[subtle condor]

£350 ☠️

[shrewd terrace]

average mining rig

[safe loom]

i have

[vagrant dirge]

Pretty low paying jobs though

I normally get between 3 - 4 dollars a day

[upbeat shuttle]

this is new

[safe loom]

looks wicked

[safe loom]

not really

those are pretty good paying jobs

and i dont have speeds like other people

ping is nuts tbh

considering the server is a 2 hour physical distance

thats crazy

[idle wing]

they are so right for not including the USA

[safe loom]

thats because those 3 countries have tons of demand for data

from the sgs customers

bob said us doesnt have much demand, and that germany is a testnet with no actual customers currently

[idle wing]

i'm not very surprised by that

[gleaming shell]

us bad

[idle wing]

prolly taxes companies on the amount of KB companies share bandwidth by basing their servers in the US 🤣

[safe loom]

?

what

ive read that 4 times and im still confused

[frigid reef]

same

[safe loom]

my conclusive traanslation

"probably taxes companies on the amount of KB the companies are shared because they're basing the servers in the us"

closest guess

[hollow vortex]

he also said hes going to work on a balance so the US gets more bandwidth

[frigid reef]

he said thats jareds job

[pseudo fog]

jaredo

[safe loom]

doesnt seem like my problem

im in a superior country like the rest of the world

[hollow vortex]

didnt ask if it was your problem, nor do i care if it is.

[safe loom]

If anyone from Denmark or Sweden is sharing bandwidth please dm me

[idle wing]

more or less

i phrase things like shit

it made sense in my head at the time

[safe loom]

[vagrant dirge]

Seems like there are barely any jobs in Australia

[safe loom]

i’m having consistent jobs

what are your speeds

[vagrant dirge]

100/40

But no jobs

I'm just getting static earnings

[safe loom]

what’s the closest major city?

i’m near melbourne

[vagrant dirge]

Sydney (in it)

[safe loom]

and i’m getting jobs after job with 650/40

[safe loom]

you should be receiving jobs

ig you’ll just have to wait

the static pay isn’t bad though

[vagrant dirge]

Weird, because it stopped two days ago (I guess I got a job at 6 today)

[safe loom]

i haven’t been able to run bws for weeks

[vagrant dirge]

It's around 0.09

[safe loom]

hmm

the static pay has been 0.60 for me

[vagrant dirge]

Hmmm

[safe loom]

check your speedtest logs

[vagrant dirge]

It passed

[safe loom]

they’re in the “ndm” folder

[vagrant dirge]

50 down 15 up

[safe loom]

better than my last one

[vagrant dirge]

Because I got a job this morning for an hour

[safe loom]

500/5 💀

[safe loom]

ig you’ll just have to wait for jobs

[vagrant dirge]

I guess I got lucky with mine

[vagrant dirge]

Normally I get jobs instantly

[safe loom]

the server my test uses decreases upload speed while the test is running

[safe loom]

yes but it may be out of rollout period now where we have to wait in the queue for jobs

i don’t know much info about the queue other than the better stable connections with higher speeds will be placed higher in the queue

[vagrant dirge]

I'll just wait and see

[safe loom]

when containers actually works

damn the 30 day is at 69.20

is the container just that tiny bump lol

[upbeat shuttle]

heh looks like it

Bandwidth Sharing >>> Containers

[shrewd terrace]

jobs stolen again

why is mine so unstable compared to others

[quaint gust]

you get jobs?

my salad just died

I've had a relatively low number of jobs today

[hollow vortex]

Still waiting to see my trust score 👀

[peak terrace]

prindle

[safe loom]

just isnt true

[safe loom]

i dont think the trust system is even implemented yet

and even if it was

you wouldnt be told your score

that would be managed by "the matrix"

or the service that provides you with workloads

[frigid reef]

:3

[hollow vortex]

And it would be nice to know what my score was.

[safe loom]

go be a salad engineeer then ???

[hollow vortex]

No thanks.

[safe loom]

its not something you should worry about

[hollow vortex]

But would be a nice feature for them to add.

In your opinion.

But didn't ask for it.

[safe loom]

lower trust score means, less uptime, less stability, lower availability
high trust score means, high uptime, high stability, great avilability

[hollow vortex]

Lol..... Yes I already know.

[safe loom]

well im using some educated guessing and words from salad employees, that you wont be seeing a "Trust Score" statistic

[hollow vortex]

You're not telling me anything I don't know....

[safe loom]

then you should know it likely wont be added

😊

[hollow vortex]

Well don't think your in the position to be making educated assumptions . Lol

[safe loom]

🗿

ok man

ok

well i don't think you're in the position to tell me you didn't ask for my opinion after i tell you a common sense answer to something you said that may confuse other users, and to inform you that you're waiting for a feature that likely won't be added . Lol

[upbeat shuttle]

we won't be told our 'trust score'

that'd allow people to reverse engineer exactly how it works, thus opening a potential for a malicious user to try to fraud Salad

[upbeat shuttle]

epic maxed out bandwidth is back 💪

[pulsar arrow]

oh what the

oh nvm it was just a container mini spike ig

cus nothing big on glasswire

[pulsar arrow]

they ruined the perfectly straihgt graph by gibing me a spike nooo

[peak terrace]

i have crossed the 10TB mark

[upbeat shuttle]

though that's counting both ways :v

[peak terrace]

for me it absolutely is true, I make literally 10x more with bw sharing than containers

and it uses less power as well

[upbeat shuttle]

yep

for now, at least

bw earnings could eventually go back down, and containers could actually become stable

[peak terrace]

for now it's saturating my network happily and giving me >$4.50 a day

[upbeat shuttle]

nice

I'm hoping for my new internet to be installed sometime this week .-.

it's been almost a month since I signed up for it now

[peak terrace]

salad has just become so good for me that I casually use it to get things on amazon now

[upbeat shuttle]

hehe

[peak terrace]

i bought a wireless charger and screen protector for my phone the other day with salad all thanks to bandwidth sharing

[upbeat shuttle]

I might actually start paying off my debt again thanks to Salad

[safe loom]

i said containers >> bw isnt true?

the open side of the thing means greater on that side

[peak terrace]

ignore that message

it's almost midnight and have literally just come back from the airport

before it was like 22-23

daaamn

they mustve increased my up speeds then

and down too idk don't wanna disturb bandwidth atm

[silver cedar]

even though we are paying for 40 up it will occasionally reach 42 or 43

most of the time it's like 40-41 though

[fresh magnet]

is it possible to run both bandwidth and container on the same pc?

[frigid reef]

Yes

#show-off-your-earnings message @upbeat shuttle is bw sharing available in Hong Kong now

or does hk mean something else

[upbeat shuttle]

first I've heard of it

you could maybe ask them to elaborate in lobby if you wanna

[white knot]

yes it does mean hong kong

[pulsar arrow]

Oh wow, that was unexpected and unannounced

[white knot]

ye

but the company who needs my bandwidth isn't in hk tho

and also i bet Singapore can also bw sharing rn

what more surprisingly is dat it released even earlier than gpu container

even tho its 12gb 3060

[pulsar arrow]

Yeah lol, I was just wondering if there was some sort of announcement I missed

@upbeat shuttle can you confirm with uhh, the overlords

or I'll ask in the next state of salas

salad

[white knot]

but bw sharing button isnt shown

its also in #chef-posting

[pulsar arrow]

whaa

is sgs client running

[white knot]

yes ofc

[frigid reef]

are you using a vpn?

so it basically recognized me in aus

but ima not

[frigid reef]

you sure you got no vpns or anything like that

[pulsar arrow]

bidir throughput shows 0

[white knot]

yes

[frigid reef]

just means he got no jobs atm

[pulsar arrow]

hmm

[white knot]

but sgs clients is on

[frigid reef]

so did it just randomly show bw sharing in the performance tab?

[pulsar arrow]

definitely strange but keep it running, you might make a good amount

[white knot]

nope

not even once

[frigid reef]

so it just randomly started sgs-client

[white knot]

ye

[pulsar arrow]

can't imagine the latency from hk to aus

[frigid reef]

please report this bug to #official-support

[white knot]

ok

done

so is this considered as a good sign?

in terms of earnings

[white knot]

with dat i predict i gonna earn around 2usd per day

bro stealing jobs without vpn/proxy even tho the country/region isnt available

lol

[frigid reef]

pretty sure Australia is still a static pay with no jobs atm

[white knot]

then its singapore then

i got jobs mainly from there

even some r from the us

Australia's sgs-gateway is hosted in Singapore
