Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[white knot]

o ic

dats weird then

[white knot]

half of a gb shared in 1.5 hrs roughly

so 7.5 gb everyday...

[subtle condor]

stable !!!!

[white knot]

same but one third of ur earnings

[subtle condor]

just wait until I get gigabit internet 🙂

[white knot]

got it already but low end job

so do my container

[subtle condor]

container has never properly worked for me so I just don't use it lmao

[white knot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[subtle condor]

I mean.... I have a big pc upload so maybe you need to keep it running for long to get the higher paid jobs

[white knot]

ofc i do

[subtle condor]

o

[pulsar arrow]

stable enough!

oh I've hit 300 lifetime

[serene dew]

how can you share bandwidth

[serene dew]

o damn that's sad

[pseudo fog]

everyday

i check salad performance

in hopes to see it

[subtle condor]

are you using beta 3? @pseudo fog

[pseudo fog]

im not in a supported country

[subtle condor]

oh

okay nvm then

[pseudo fog]

i got this

bw sharing app

but it

kinda sucks

lma

[subtle condor]

honeygain?

[pseudo fog]

no

in 2 days

it used

2mb

[subtle condor]

what service?

[pseudo fog]

service?

[subtle condor]

what's the bandwidth sharing app called

:P

[pseudo fog]

uhhh

pawn

[pulsar arrow]

my mobile data is 852mbps down and 300up wtf

I had to stop it from deleting my 30gb allowance

[vagrant dirge]

There are some jobs, but they now end very soon and you have to wait some time to get them

[glacial forge]

where'd all the sharing go i make no money :c

[upbeat shuttle]

jobs aren't guaranteed to be consistent :)

[gleaming shell]

Tbh I don't see the point of bandwidth shating if it dosent use all of ur available speeds

[kindred helm]

Bandwidth shitting

[gleaming shell]

I'm in a supported country but it's super hard to get sgs client to even download here

Gotta get that 540 day uptime

[gleaming shell]

Bandwidth sharting

[gleaming shell]

I live in Fahrenheit and miles

[safe loom]

snitch

[safe loom]

5g

[safe loom]

its 30gb of badnwidth back and forth

on mobile devices you can add data caps for mobile data

its not

[pseudo fog]

why is australia and germany using testnets

[safe loom]

we still have static pay

[frigid reef]

ah okay

[safe loom]

but we have plenty of jobs

[frigid reef]

germany dosent have a customer

[pseudo fog]

then why...?

[safe loom]

i made 4 buckos in a day

[safe loom]

germany is a testnet

australia does have customers

[frigid reef]

idk, most likely had one then dropped out or something

[pseudo fog]

could have invested in India instead and no one would ever complain

[frigid reef]

ah another annoying user

nvm

[safe loom]

germany is probably cheaper to host in

and its central eu

[frigid reef]

most likely had a customer to use the bandwidth then they dropped out

[safe loom]

makes sense

[white knot]

lol i got it without seeing it

jealous right

wait i have a question

[frigid reef]

?

[white knot]

so singapore cant do bw sharing while australia can?

[frigid reef]

Yes

[white knot]

dats a shame

[frigid reef]

the demand the customer needs is in Australia

the gateway is hosted in Singapore for either performance, needs of the vpn company or it was much cheaper

[white knot]

o....

hehe boi

pure luck

@frigid reef

[silver cedar]

AHAHAHAHAHA

I GOT IT

I FUCKING GOT IT

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NO WONDER I WAS GETTING THOSE SPIKES

[white knot]

🙌🙌

[frigid reef]

did you also say how you never enabled bandwidth though?

[white knot]

idk

but i think the devs just gave me right away

[frigid reef]

i get that but if you didnt enable bandwidth that goes against the whole concept of salad and should be reported

[white knot]

i did

and i got the reply

[frigid reef]

... what did you exactly say to salad

[white knot]

maybe after rebooting would show it

[frigid reef]

thats not the point, if you never pressed enable bandwidth sharing then they shouldent share your bandwidth...

[white knot]

lemme send u in dm

[silver cedar]

anyways now that I have bw sharing

it is normal to have low paying jobs at the start?

im assuming it is but idk

well tbf I am in the US

[frigid reef]

is it working - yes, then its normal

is it working - no, then its not normal

hope this helps explain it

[silver cedar]

it appears to be working since there is small spikes in my graph

[frigid reef]

aka there is no normal for jobs the markets are dynamic things can change every day there is no normal really

[silver cedar]

makes sense then

[idle wing]

Nice I somehow got into queue right when I turned bw sharing on (USA)

Although the earns are shit

[peak terrace]

my router did a funny and restarted for a new IP address so now I am starting over again

[upbeat shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485

CJ my beloved

[silver cedar]

i had to wait 2 weeks to get bw sharing :(

[unborn mason]

how long have you waited?

[upbeat shuttle]

I have to wait OVER A MONTH for my new ISP to even get around to installing it

[silver cedar]

2 weeks

[unborn mason]

so you keep bandwidth sharing on and container for 2 weeks straight?

[silver cedar]

basically except for some outages inbetween

[unborn mason]

oh shoot fr i turned off container on my pc i need to turn it back on :/

[silver cedar]

yeah you cant do bw sharing and cpu mining at the same time

[unborn mason]

dont you have to turn on cpu for container to work?

[silver cedar]

but you can use a container and bw sharing at the same time

[silver cedar]

ye

[unborn mason]

so cpu mining is on

[silver cedar]

as long as xmrig is running you wont get bw jobs

[unborn mason]

oh

[silver cedar]

once xmrig stops and vmmem starts you will be able to get bw jobs

[unborn mason]

so when xmrig is off it wont turn on by it self when vmmem is on?

[silver cedar]

when vmmem is on bw sharing will work, but if xmrig is on then it wont work

xmrig will automatically turn off when you get container jobs

which will allow you to get bandwidth jobs after

[unborn mason]

ok once the xmrig turn it self back on for some reason when i check it the next day ( cpu is mining 50% ~ usage

[silver cedar]

that happens sometimes and that would mean you dont have a container job

and as a result no bandwidth sharing

[unborn mason]

but im still earning when i check the graph

[silver cedar]

the same amount?

[unborn mason]

yes

[silver cedar]

interesting

[unborn mason]

well for the best result i ma keep cpu minnig off

[silver cedar]

keep it on since you wont be earning anything off of bw sharing for a while

it will eventually work anyways as long as you get a container job

[unborn mason]

im not going to be checking often also its my secnod rig running a i7 3rd gen

so i guess im keeping it off

[silver cedar]

one of my only friends

oh damn I just saw it spike to 80 mbps lol

[subtle condor]

sgs-client my beloved

[gleaming shell]

BRO

LUCKY ASS

I STILL HAVENT GOT ONE SINCE OCTOBER 2022

[gleaming shell]

BRO WTH

HOW

YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY

[unborn mason]

they have better gaming chair mate

[gleaming shell]

I STILL DONT EVEN HAVE MY SECOND CONTAINER BACK YET AND THEY HAVE BANDWIDTH JOBS

[unborn mason]

and me still waiting for it to arrive ( waiting for a BW job)

[unborn mason]

they waited for 2weeks to one month

[gleaming shell]

MY SGS CLIENT ISNT EVEN DOWNLOADED YET
(also i restarted both my laptops so now im at the back of the queue which dosent help)

im not even in the queue

[frigid reef]

Gaming chair

[unborn mason]

just golla be chill or wait

[gleaming shell]

im not worthy for bandwidth jobs yet

[unborn mason]

or skill issue idk

[frigid reef]

Nah gaming chair

[gleaming shell]

gaming isp

[unborn mason]

just turn on bandwidth sharing and leave other two option off and wait for 2 weeks for your GAMING CHAIR TO ARRIVE

[gleaming shell]

i probs would have a higher trust rating for bandwdith sharintg if my laptop didnt gsod (windows insider crash) bc of virtualbox back in october 2022

anyways

STILL THE POINT IS YALL ARE LUCKY AF TO GET BANDWIDTH SHARING TO WORK IN THE US I ALSO WAITED FOR WEEKS AND MY OTHER LAPTOP ALMOST HAD A MONTH OF UPTIME AND I HAD TO RESTART IT SO I HAVE TO JUST WAIT AGAIN WR89UEW4RF9P8ERYPEERH

oops caps lock

screw this, im keeping my laptop on for 2 months instead of 1 month

and im not restarting it no matter what

what

[idle wing]

i didn't have it for 9 days straight

[unborn mason]

NO LUCKY YOU JUST GOLLA WAIT HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU!

[idle wing]

well then again they were not kept on for 9 days straight

[gleaming shell]

THATS WHAT IM DOING\

[idle wing]

I get home @ 6 CST and just turn laptop on

[gleaming shell]

imma pause windows updates to my laptop dosent get restarted at 3am and put me at the back of the queue

i forgot im not in a queue

[unborn mason]

just do your thing

[idle wing]

it's just luck at this point

[unborn mason]

ah or maybe internet speed

[gleaming shell]

or if ur isp hates you

[idle wing]

2023-02-16 16:56:10.981 -06:00 [INF] Download rate: 58.53 Mbps
2023-02-16 16:56:26.587 -06:00 [INF] Upload rate: 86.63 Mbps

i have no idea why now librespeed now has slower download for me

used to have trouble with upload

if there isn't any trouble easy 200 up and down

[gleaming shell]

Oh damn that's probs why you have bandwidth sharing working

All I have is 150down and 27 up on a good day

[idle wing]

i used to get 200 up and down

now i don't for some reason

[silver cedar]

oh

[gleaming shell]

what are ur internet speeds

[silver cedar]

1000 down, 40 up

[gleaming shell]

ok i was wondering how you got a bandwidth job lol

[silver cedar]

although librespeed probably reports less

[gleaming shell]

my librespeed tests show 150 down and 27 up on a good speedtest

[silver cedar]

yeah librespeed is ass

[gleaming shell]

same with my chances of having sgs client downloaded

i hate virtualbox and will forever hate it

[unborn mason]

ME; 600 up and down

[silver cedar]

you have a better chance of getting a job than me then

[gleaming shell]

both of you have better chances than me

[unborn mason]

i still need to wait for sgs client to donwload on my pc

[gleaming shell]

same

[unborn mason]

idk if it can run on a i7 3rd gen

[silver cedar]

it can

as long as your device can handle the bandwidth

[unborn mason]

it can handle any computational load that i throw at it

even tho its my second pc and my main pc its running a 5600x and a 3060

[safe loom]

except stable diffusion

[unborn mason]

fr

well it still can handle the bandwidth

[gleaming shell]

my latest sped test is 115/26

dont think im gonna get sgs client to download in a while

[unborn mason]

you might get luck and get sgs client downloaded

[gleaming shell]

Maybe

Low chance tho

[unborn mason]

:/

[gleaming shell]

It will eventually downlosd

Dowpaod

DOWNLOAD

[unborn mason]

welp my dell optiplex is downstair at the router

[safe loom]

i got 500/4

🔥

[unborn mason]

4?!

upload?

[safe loom]

yeah the virginia server on librespeed is scuffed as shit

[unborn mason]

dats sad

[gleaming shell]

super fast upload

[unborn mason]

before i switch my ISP i was getong 800/10

[gleaming shell]

Wifi 69 leaks

[unborn mason]

also once i went out and i stayed at a motel 6 their wifi is shit that i cant even watch youtube at 480p

[gleaming shell]

Flashbacks to my old wifi router

It was so ass

I want to destroy it

So badly

[unborn mason]

damn

[gleaming shell]

It couldn't even handle 144p video in my room

And it can only handle 480p on a good day

Hated that thing so much

[safe loom]

my actual upload is 40

and apparently the test didnt matter cause i get sgs without fail anyway

[gleaming shell]

Librespeed sucks ass
Speedtest by ookla gives out more accurate speeds

[safe loom]

society

[gleaming shell]

I lost my 2nd container at 11am today

[safe loom]

i dont ujse container

h

deleted message

[gleaming shell]

Wait that's bandwidth?

[safe loom]

yes

[gleaming shell]

Wait are you in the US or UK I don't remember

[safe loom]

AUS

[gleaming shell]

Oh

[unborn mason]

ohhhhhhhh sgs____client takes for ever to download

[safe loom]

skill diff

[unborn mason]

small price to pay

[safe loom]

was an immediate download for me

[unborn mason]

ngl

[safe loom]

its like 400mb

nvm

8mb

💀

[gleaming shell]

You're downloading it manually?

[unborn mason]

no

automaticaly

[gleaming shell]

Oh

[unborn mason]

im waiting

idk if it works when you ask some one that has it and amek a copy and send you to discord

[safe loom]

my last log for speedtest (feb 10th)

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice (the download)

[safe loom]

its higher rn

that was during peak

[silver cedar]

my last test which was on the 12th

the upload is probably what got it running

[safe loom]

my ip doesnt show on tests, but mods got cooky for me sharing it

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice

[safe loom]

yeah

salad said you need a minimum of 10/10mbps or 5/5mbps in some countries

[safe loom]

h

[vagrant dirge]

I’m pretty sure download won’t go above 50 because of upload speed

[safe loom]

no

ive seen it hit 400mbps download while only doing 15mbps up

[vagrant dirge]

Because my jobs have a 1:1 up and down

[safe loom]

mine dont

skill diff

[vagrant dirge]

Weird

[safe loom]

now that i see this

aren't you complaining how bandwidth sharing wont work?

💀

[vagrant dirge]

Finally bandwidth returned back to normal

[pulsar arrow]

👏

stable stable stable

[silver cedar]

not stable yet, most of my earnings are my containers and you can see the tiny spikes (which are bw sharing)

[upbeat shuttle]

oof

[silver cedar]

basically its barely doing anything

but the fact I even got bw sharing

[shrewd terrace]

I successfully stole your jobs

[thick knoll]

so long sgs i guess ill see u another day

[white knot]

same

[pulsar arrow]

u know your earning good when your 7 day looks like this

[silver cedar]

mine are fucked up lol

[shrewd terrace]

when is bandwidth comng to other countries?

[kindred helm]

read

pins

[pulsar arrow]

hey @subtle condor what're your internet speeds again?

[potent merlin]

if its available in india then will it be available for bangladesh?

Most of the time india becomes the core of south asia by that i mean all the servers of south asia is located in india so will salad bring bandwidth for india only or also for its sourrounding counrties?

[subtle condor]

:P @pulsar arrow

[pulsar arrow]

Ooh damn

Upload is like literally 10 Mbps higher than me

and ur earning double the amount lol

Download is 132mbps for me

[kindred helm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[subtle condor]

I have it running 24/7

that might be why

[pulsar arrow]

I do too

haven't turned off in a week

[subtle condor]

oh

[pulsar arrow]

Prolly lower paying job

I'm earning like 3.6 so it's cool

if I leave on my container 24/7 it should push it to 4$ a day

[subtle condor]

I haven't been keeping up with container updates lately, are GPU containers out?

[upbeat shuttle]

bandwidth channel but yeah, they're out for GPUs with >=12gb of vram atm

[subtle condor]

oh, if I use 2 3060 ti will it work

[upbeat shuttle]

it'll only support one GPU for now

[subtle condor]

alright

[pulsar arrow]

I was waiting for the 4070 but stupid nvidia overpriced it

would've been perfect for the container workloads

[silver cedar]

looks like my bw earnings are slowly increasing

[silver cedar]

woah is my bw sharing starting to put in some work

[gleaming shell]

woah is my sgs client even downloaded yet

no

and i lost both of my containers at 7am =

[gleaming shell]

BRO WTH NEARLY 10 CENTS

[kindred helm]

omg can you buy me minecraft!!

you have a lot of money

[pseudo fog]

Hey can you buy me a 4090TI?

[frigid reef]

no

[gleaming shell]

can you buy me a human heart and 3 limbs of any kind

[pseudo fog]

Can you buy me mental health?

[silver cedar]

bro what the fuck lol

[peak terrace]

if only bandwidth sharing worked on 5G

[gleaming shell]

how does ur speeds go that high

do you use t mobile

[peak terrace]

no

i'm not in america

and I use iD mobile which uses three infrastructure

[upbeat shuttle]

those ping speeds

[gleaming shell]

My ping is ever higher (on wifi)

[shrewd terrace]

when your computer plans a restart and your sleeping

https://tenor.com/view/rage-smash-destroy-keyboard-computer-gif-21886227

dd

[gleaming shell]

That happens to me so much

I just pause the updates now

[silver cedar]

what interesting bandwidth earnings

[silver cedar]

it would be nice if it were making more though considering it's only a tiny fraction of the graph

I would have more to show

[gleaming shell]

I still have to wait for sgs client to download
Which requires patience and not restarting my laptop
Which I dont have

[pulsar arrow]

I'm on smarty and it uses the same 3 network gg

[gleaming shell]

It would be nice if my sgs client downloaded

But it's not gonna happen in a while

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice (again again again again again again again)

(ok this is the last time I'll do that)

[modern panther]

what

[silver cedar]

and then it said its bandwidth sharin time

lo

what a big spike

unfortunately it looks like that isnt sustained because it stopped using that amount of bandwidth

[unborn mason]

damn im so jealous

[white knot]

24.08gb 4 me

[gleaming shell]

Same

Must be nice

[analog patio]

I got inf mobile data heh

[hybrid star]

Bandwidth sharing has never ran for me

Like it doesn’t appear in task manager

[unborn mason]

you golla turn your pc on with bandwidth on and wait for a week or 2 that what i heard :/

[gleaming shell]

yeah you have to wait a while

[little matrix]

And when is bandwidth sharing coming to India 🇮🇳

?

[silver cedar]

woah

[frigid reef]

AYY GIB MY JOBS BACK

[gleaming shell]

GIVE ME SOME JOBS

NO

GIVE MY THE CHANCES TO EVEN GET SGS CLIENT DOWNLOADED

[frigid reef]

[silver cedar]

how evil of me

[gleaming shell]

IT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN EVER SINCE MY LAPTOP CRASHED BC OF VIRTUALBOX

i hate this thing

[silver cedar]

imagine the world if sgs-client maxed out my bandwidth

[gleaming shell]

it would be nice for you

[hybrid star]

i've had it on for ages

[gleaming shell]

but i would be internally screaming as there are more ppl in the us getting higher bandwidth jobs

[safe loom]

i wait 1 second or 2

[gleaming shell]

i wonder if the bandwidth sharing trustibility rating thing applies to the device only or the account

[gleaming shell]

must be nice

[safe loom]

it is lol

[gleaming shell]

ive been suffering here since october 2022

virtualbox<<

[safe loom]

just uninstall virtual box

ion get it

[frigid reef]

watch that be stopping sgs-client

[gleaming shell]

i havent gotten sgs client to download in such a long time that i dont even know if my bandwidth sharing is broken or if im not worthy enough for bandwidth sharing

[silver cedar]

take this fresh copy for absolutely no reason

[frigid reef]

legit unless salad starts it, it wont help

[gleaming shell]

Imagine if this is a 50 petabyte zip bomb lol

[silver cedar]

would be a real shame if it was

lol apparently honeygain gets your ips credibility fucked

[frigid reef]

can confirm my ip got put on many black lists, took me a week to find them all and apply to get unbanned from many websites

[unborn mason]

i can see this peice of art in my dream man

[unborn mason]

btw what dis for?

[shrewd terrace]

finally consistent earnings

[pulsar arrow]

I forgor to turn on container 💀💀

[pulsar arrow]

OK, try resetting ur pc, in windows reset thing, do a cloud download, select remove ALL, including personal files

If u can afford to do this

[upbeat spear]

what is bandwidth sharing

[modern panther]

read pins

[upbeat spear]

is this country limited? im in albani

a

[modern panther]

check pins

for country supported

[upbeat spear]

kk

thx

[upbeat shuttle]

[pulsar arrow]

[white knot]

if i got it b4 even after restarting my pc there should be a way 2 turn it on again even if ima in an unsupported region as the devs gave me the access

[upbeat shuttle]

huh

[white knot]

i lost sgs client since i restarted my pc

in an unsupported region

so dat means ima unable 2 find the bw sharing buttons

[upbeat shuttle]

what happened before was likely just a mistake

[white knot]

idk tho

u may check my chat history here

[upbeat shuttle]

my best guess is that your IP used to be used in Australia, then it was reassigned to you

[white knot]

i ip checked yesterday and its in my region

[pulsar arrow]

Whyyy

that wasn't very smart

[white knot]

ik

[pulsar arrow]

you got that on some pure chance

[white knot]

an update forced my 2 do so

i can't get rid of it

[pulsar arrow]

You can disable updates

in windows

[white knot]

i mean i could but i always want 2 update my pc 2 the latest so... yep

[upbeat shuttle]

you can pretty safely have your PC be a couple months out of date and still be perfectly fine

[pulsar arrow]

Have it your way ig lol

[upbeat shuttle]

I think my laptop that's running Bandwidth Sharing has been running for 3+ months now

[pulsar arrow]

lost out on something good fr

[pulsar arrow]

I haven't updated since... ever

[upbeat shuttle]

or I might've restarted it recently idk, but it definitely hit over 3 months before I did

[pulsar arrow]

except for windows 11 but yeah

[white knot]

imagine auto locating my ip 2 aus again

in a passive way

or even uk

[silver cedar]

wow bw sharing is a lot better than I thought

(im gonna steal all yo jobs)

[uncut bluff]

can’t steal mine if i have none

[silver cedar]

☹️

ok what is going on here its only been 2 minutes LOL

[subtle condor]

Are you sure you pinged the right person? I don't make $8 a day..... @zealous patio

unless you're really far up the channel or something

which message are you talking about?

ah yea

[silver cedar]

oh I see this page has it correct

for some reason the graph is wrong on my laptop lol

[subtle condor]

I live in the UK, and my speeds are 536 down and 36 up

it's pretty crazy yeah

[silver cedar]

UK has best per gb for some reason

US has it wack per gb it seems

[subtle condor]

UK has more sgs demand and customers

If I had gigabit internet I would

I should start using containers to make even more too 🙂

If I could actually get it working

Not really sure, it just doesn't wanna work with bandwidth

Sgs-client never starts when containers enabled

[gleaming shell]

us has it really bad

its very hard to keep my laptop on for weeks or even months

bc something always breaks and i have to restart it

or it crashes

or windows updates

[upbeat shuttle]

yeahh this is why I have 3 laptops and 1 PC

schewpid salad

just because there's a very small number of CPUs with enough L3 cache for xmrig to max out all the cores, and that can cause sgs-client to crud itself, we can't CPU mine + Bandwidth share..
and because Salad has yet to separate mining and container workloads, it often gets confused and thinks that we're trying to CPU mine + Bandwidth share when we're NOT and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

huh

that's not what I meant

[uncut bluff]

bruh they still haven't allowed cpu mining with bandwidth sharing?

[upbeat shuttle]

for context, it isn't possible to CPU mine and run Bandwidth Sharing at the same time

[uncut bluff]

like why bruhhhh

[gleaming shell]

i have a feeling i would be the last person in the us to get a bandwidth job (if i even get sgs client downloaded)

[gleaming shell]

or maybe you

[subtle condor]

understandable

I might get 2 cheap office pcs so I can run 2 gpu containers

[ornate hedge]

Why no Canada 😦

[idle wing]

US has it really bad tbh

Like even with like 200 down 100 up the earnings are still shit

Can’t even make 1 cent per 15 min consistently

[gleaming shell]

~150 down and ~20 up on a good day here, sgs client wont even download
really does suck here in the us

my potato speeds dont help either

[unborn mason]

just golla wait for a job and sgs client will automatily download thats what i heard

[idle wing]

Probably only getting 1 cent every 75-150 minutes

My graph rn

[unborn mason]

as i said you didnt got a job:/

[idle wing]

Huh???

I wouldn’t be earning if I didn’t have a job…?

[unborn mason]

me dont have sgs client yet:/

how long did it took you to get sgs client?

us

:/\

[silver cedar]

new set of spikes lol

[unborn mason]

yeah

[gleaming shell]

must be nice

it would suck if windows update randomly restarted ur pc lol

[silver cedar]

:frowning4:

would blow my brains out ngl

[pulsar arrow]

🥹

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice (again again again again again again again again)

Ok ik I said it was my last time but I kinda lied

[hollow vortex]

turn your gpu on and cpu on after bandwidth starts - no issues here

[pseudo fog]

ozua on their way to make a rig of bandwidth sharing modems

for salad

[shrewd terrace]

like what?

[quaint gust]

after waiting for 2 hours i got a badnwdith sharing job finally

took long enough

[potent merlin]

is salad aiming to bring bandwidth sahring to all countries if possible?

[pseudo fog]

yes

[potent merlin]

will it be available in the next update like full update not beta

[upbeat shuttle]

no ETA atm

[peak terrace]

[silver cedar]

p

[pulsar arrow]

Daaamn

[subtle condor]

me asf

[pulsar arrow]

Bought nitro for the first time with salad!!

[gleaming shell]

2 hours? Must be nice
Been waiting since October 2022 here

[silver cedar]

job :cerealspit:

[unborn mason]

it took me 3 days and no bandwidth jobs yet

[pulsar arrow]

I'm stealing them all

[peak terrace]

it stopped

logs are full of errors

funny funny

"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond."

[pulsar arrow]

your internet prob crashed for a bit

mines still fine

or if ur not in the UK, ur corresponded sgs might have an outage

[upbeat shuttle]

UK here, my earnings are still going strong

sounds to be a 'you' issue

[frigid reef]

Indeed

[pulsar arrow]

I hit my highest earning today

4.40

then it dropped back to the normal 3.60

a day

[shell temple]

is sgs bandwidth?

in taskmanager

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah

[shell temple]

kk

[upbeat shuttle]

nice, my earnings have bene rather mid today

$3.38 atm

I suppose it'd be a bit much to ask for it to max out my bandwidth 24/7 😅

[pulsar arrow]

oh damn that seems really low for you

u used to get like 6 or 7 iirc

[upbeat shuttle]

iirc my max is like $4-5

[shell temple]

i dont leave my pc on 24/7 otherwise i think my earnings could be better

[pulsar arrow]

oh it'll pick up sooner or later it

[upbeat shuttle]

and if my new internet were to finally be installed, it'd be much higher >:(

they've taken a solid month now

[pulsar arrow]

if it doesn't, then I'm in trouble, since it'd mean supply is catching up with demand

[upbeat shuttle]

we just have to do a lil bit of trolling to certain parts of the UK :)

[pulsar arrow]

ddos everyone

[upbeat shuttle]

what do you think of sinking wales and scotland under the ocean

[shell temple]

@upbeat shuttle is it true jobs are prioritised to people that have had salad running longer? i always have slad running on and off because i dont run it or leave my pc on 24/7, was wondering if that would be why i dont always have a job. I know ur not guaranteed a job anyway, but i just seem to get like 1 a week which seems quite low

and its normally on a weekend when my pc and salad has been running for longer

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah more uptime/stability looks good to Salad :)

[pulsar arrow]

is this some british inside doodad (I'm a recent immigrant)

[shell temple]

kk

[gleaming shell]

boutta keep my laptop on for 2 months straight

[pulsar arrow]

I believe in u

[gleaming shell]

imma keep my laptop on for 2 months straight to see if my bandwidth shating is broken

wish me luck

bc im not gonna restart my laptop

[pulsar arrow]

imagine it doesn't

[gleaming shell]

i will ddos everyone

[pulsar arrow]

scream

[shell temple]

@upbeat shuttle how do bandwidth jobs work if i leave salad running with gpu/cpu disabled

does it still class as reliable uptime even when im doing nothing cause i have no job

or not

if u know

[upbeat shuttle]

It works just as fine

I've got one of my laptops dedicated to just Bandwidth Sharing rn

[shell temple]

kk

ty

[upbeat shuttle]

[upbeat shuttle]

oh it's nothing, we just all have a mutual strong hatred for eachother 😌

[frigid reef]

[idle wing]

It seems like they do care for higher speeds cuz like if I have a super good bandwidth test, something like 180 down 90-100 up, I get jobs decently fast

[frigid reef]

ofc they care

[upbeat shuttle]

there's many factors that play into if - and how many jobs you get

[idle wing]

Should def list all factors fr

[unborn mason]

i dare you to stop bandwidth sharing for 2.68 seconds

[white knot]

damn i should be gaining 3.4 per day if my sgs client still working with my gpu container

[peak terrace]

my ip address changed yes

[white knot]

[silver cedar]

i dare every US user to stop sharing for 5 seconds

[peak terrace]

me when dynamic ip address

[gleaming shell]

if you have bandwidth jobs in the us i consider you lucky

[gleaming shell]

that would be easy for me

(and a bunch of other ppl)

[pulsar arrow]

no :)

[white knot]

bro dats worth not even one tenth of a cent

[idle wing]

I somehow got a 1 cent per 15 min job it seems like

[white knot]

tf

[upbeat shuttle]

well

bandwidth sharing earnings aren't static so that's very much subject to change

[white knot]

9.6 dollars per day....

[upbeat shuttle]

?

redo your maths :)

[white knot]

wdym

[silver cedar]

10 cents

[upbeat shuttle]

1c/15m = 4c/h = 96c/d

[white knot]

0.01?

rlly

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah you did 10 cents here

they said 1 cent

[white knot]

i messed up

with the term 角 in chinese

so 1角 = 10 cents

[upbeat shuttle]

hm~

[idle wing]

nvm looks like it finished/ lost it

[upbeat shuttle]

:)

[idle wing]

yeah

although imagine if it was like a huge company (aka social media companies or smth like that)

[gleaming shell]

i feel like one day my bandwidth sharing will come back alive without me realizing it then i restart my laptop

[safe loom]

Speed
Connection
Uptime
Trust Factor
IP trust
Location
Ping

and probably more that salad hasn’t said to prevent reverse engineering

like peak customer job time, who the customers are, best paying customers

all that stuff on the other side

[glossy torrent]

if my IP is fluctuating between 2 servers, will it affect my earnings?

[glossy torrent]

???

[quaint gust]

im dumb but like out of curiosity why is reverse engineering bad

im sorry if that was a dumb question

[pulsar arrow]

because that would lead to abuse and misuse of the system to get more jobs

which would affect actual reliability of salad

if they find out how the trust system is calculated

[silver cedar]

imagine a world where these spikes were actually stable earnings

[pulsar arrow]

don't have to imagine, livin the dream

[gleaming shell]

Imagine

[silver cedar]

speak of the devil

[frigid reef]

indeed

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice

[gleaming shell]

Slowly going up

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd like to thank my internet for not dying today

truly a legendary move by my ISP

[gleaming shell]

I'd like to thank my internet for bring ass

Being*

I swear I just saw a star reaction for a split secons

Seco d*

SECOND*

[peak terrace]

secons

[gleaming shell]

Samsung keyboard moment

[peak terrace]

s*msung

gboard when

[safe loom]

the people able to reverse engineer it would be able to abuse their findings into getting better jobs and could possibly leak it to other people to get better jobs

which could fuck with salad

[gleaming shell]

Uh oh I accidentally said the s word

[near karma]

Are there ANY JOBS AT ALL

ITS BEEN LIKE 3 WEEKS

NOT A SINGLE ONE

[gleaming shell]

SAME

ITS ALSO BEEN WEEKS HERE FOR ME

AND I CANT EVEN GET SGS CLIENT TO DOWNLOAD

[near karma]

MY SGS CLIENT IS RUNNING

BUT THERE IS NOTHING HAPPENING

[gleaming shell]

THATS WOULD PROBS BE THE SAME FOR ME WHEN MY SGS FINAKLY DOWNLOADS

[peak terrace]

you guys are making my ears hurt

[near karma]

please help me

<3

what if its my router or whatever blocking something

[safe loom]

what country are you in?

[near karma]

uk

[unborn mason]

the only solution is to get a globol electric outage

[south gyro]

how do you get sgs to run? The only thing that runs on mine is the librespeed thingy

[unborn mason]

just turn on your pc enable bw and wait thats all i know

which puts you in qeue

[south gyro]

bUT task manager says that it isn't even running. Will it still work?

[unborn mason]

well people told me that when you got a job after the queue sgs client will automaticly download also here is a copy of sgs client for nothing

[south gyro]

oh ok I was very confused because I didn't see an indication if it was working and all it told me was to look for sgs which wasnt running and I couldn't find anywhere. What is that librespeed thing, is it the test to see if your internet is good enough?

[unborn mason]

librlkasdjfl;ksadgj speed thingy is the internet speed test

[south gyro]

Ah now it all makes sense thank you very much

[unborn mason]

np

[humble sapphire]

I get 240 download and 40 upload but when I run bandwidth sharing it doesn’t run how do i fix it?

I already tried white listing it

I tested my speed with ndm

[silver cedar]

my daily earnings have been slowly increasing thanks to bw sharing lo

im up to 1.84 a day

[gleaming shell]

nice

my earnings are really ass rn

i got my 2nd container and its the low paying one,

and my 1st container is the medium paying one

and obviously my sgs client is still 6 feet under

[humble sapphire]

Why do i have ndm instead of sgs it’s like very unreliable

[silver cedar]

because ndm is the speedtest not bandwidth sharing

[humble sapphire]

But why does it still use ndm if it is slower?

[silver cedar]

it runs a speed test to see if you meet the requirements for sgs jobs

[shell temple]

should sgs be using 0% cpu in task manager?

is that normal

i had bandwidth job between like 9pm yesterday and 3am this morning but now its gone and i have normal earnings

but sgs is still open in my task manager

[tulip jolt]

sgs should use cpu?

[frigid reef]

If you got a lot of traffic going through It, it may use a couple %

[exotic surge]

yo guys i just downloaded this thing, but how do i earn money????

[pliant condor]

i've been running salad with bandwidth sharing for sometime now and nothing's working. can anyone please help me with this

[tight atlas]

📌

[pliant condor]

doesnt work i tried

[tight atlas]

is SGS client running

[pliant condor]

noo

its not

i tried doing that in the pins

but there's not even a folder named bandwidth-sharing in the salad folder

[pseudo fog]

thank you,

p57333

[tight atlas]

what are your speed test logs

ndm it's called I believe

[pliant condor]

8.5

sometimes it goes up a lot too

but the last one is 8.5

[tight atlas]

your upload ain't good enough or the servers are just slow atm

[pliant condor]

i downloaded the sgs client
anything i can do with it?

[little matrix]

Bruh @tight atlas will vpn work with it, and what is sgs client, u ghosted me 😦

[tight atlas]

Vpn won't work, SGS client is the bandwidth sharing exe that runs when you're earning

[tight atlas]

Easy way to force the test to run again is to force end the salad bowl task and open it again via task manager

[pliant condor]

doesnt work bro i tried

[pulsar arrow]

salad ruined my perfectly straight graph

[pseudo fog]

be happy you have bw sharing

[stiff wedge]

Dude freaking read the pins no one is ghosting you

[stiff wedge]

Force end all the salad stuff except the salad bootstrapping thing

That works for me

[tight atlas]

Ye

[pliant condor]

can anyone help me, its been like 5 hours and bandwidth sharing still isnt working

[tight atlas]

are you not aware that your internet speed doesn't qualify? there's nothing you can do

[pliant condor]

i connected to my 5g network

my internet speed is good now

well over 50mbps

[stiff wedge]

What does the log say

[pliant condor]

but still nothing

[pliant condor]

100+

[stiff wedge]

You need both upload and download over 10

[pliant condor]

this speed is fine right

[stiff wedge]

Have u tried the turning on cpu and turning it off

[pliant condor]

everything qualifies whats the problem

[pliant condor]

yeah yeah everything off

[stiff wedge]

Restart salad

[wind spear]

if you can, try turning gpu on for a few seconds

that works for me

[stiff wedge]

Right click the icon and quit salad

And then open it again

[pliant condor]

already done

[pliant condor]

how many seconds

[wind spear]

idk i just do it until sgs client starts

[pliant condor]

sgs client never starts for me and theres not even a folder in the workloads folder of salad

idk how to fix that

[wind spear]

oh

idk then

[pliant condor]

😦

[stiff wedge]

Don’t think you can really fix it

[pliant condor]

yep

[stiff wedge]

Its really based on luck

[pliant condor]

ANYTHING else that i can try

?

[stiff wedge]

Not really

Stop running salad

Clicking the ⏸️

And then putting it on again

[pliant condor]

doesnt work

[stiff wedge]

And then do the cpu thinggy

Repeat

[pliant condor]

yeah yeah containers will work but i want bandwidth

[stiff wedge]

Until bandwidth files downloads

That’s how we get sgs client working

Enabling cpu and disabling it

While bandwidth sharing is enabled

Right after you start running salad

Not sure if you can’t get containers and bandwidth run together

[upbeat shuttle]

@pliant condor What country are you in?

[upbeat shuttle]

Ah CPU + Bandwidth is a bit of a hit or a miss - In theory, CPU Containers should work alongside Bandwidth Sharing just fine, but CPU Mining + BW does not work. And as there is currently no way to disable mining workloads yet, it could quite easily get confused in the first few moments when Salad runs CPU mining, thinking that you're trying to CPU mine, and doesn't work.

[pliant condor]

i tried a lot of fixes but it still doesnt work

[pliant condor]

us

no fixes atall work

[upbeat shuttle]

Ah oof

Others in the US have had difficulty in getting Bandwidth Sharing jobs

It's just because there's not much demand for nodes in the US from Salad's customers

[halcyon juniper]

i noticed one thing that during salad installation, the bandwidth usage setting is available to all without any problem

[upbeat shuttle]

Indeed

it's not just on about Bandwidth Sharing - it also applies to container jobs and probably some other minor stuff

[halcyon juniper]

ah ohk

[upbeat shuttle]

tbh it's kinda a pointless setting, since I'd bet a mere handful of people are actually still on limited data internet contracts

[halcyon juniper]

yeah

[quaint gust]

i havent seen this screen at all

[upbeat shuttle]

It's part of the onboarding process for 1.0.9 beta 3 iirc

[quaint gust]

how do i ge tthis

i need this bandwidth usage menu

[pseudo fog]

You dont

Essentials only pretty much turns off bandwidth sharing

[quaint gust]

oh

sadge

[halcyon juniper]

installation process

[hollow vortex]

Even tho 5g might be fast there is also a lot of packet loss with 5g .

[silver cedar]

bandwidth making a slight impact as per usual

[gleaming shell]

You're a lucky one

Having bandwidth jobs in the US

[silver cedar]

most of my earnings are containers though

idk where the good jobs are at

[shell temple]

if i leave GPU and CPU turned off as they are very power hungry and leavee bandwidth enabled over night even if its not earning 24/7 i'll prob get a bandwidth job eventually during the night right?

also, does this look normal?

2023-02-21 19:16:35.000 +00:00 [INF] {"level":"info","ts":1677006994.9993265,"caller":"logger/timed-logger.go:235","msg":"timed stats","BidirThroughput":0,"ErrorRate":0,"TTFB":0,"NGPCsQZ":0,"NGPCsConnected":0,"NRoutes":0,"NNodesWithRoutes":0,"NRoutesLeastLoad":0,"NRoutesGreatestLoaded":0,"NGracePeriodReconns":0,"NHappyPathDisconns":0,"NErrorPathDisconns":0}

just cause at the end im pretty sure thats an error

[gleaming shell]

no jobs i think

[shell temple]

oh okay makes sense

[gleaming shell]

im not sure
havent even got sgs client to download in months

perks of living in the us i guess

[shell temple]

mine is running in my task manager

just

i dont think im earning from it

my earnings normally increase shit tons

[gleaming shell]

are you in the us or uk idk if you have said it before

[shell temple]

yeah

[gleaming shell]

if youre in the us youre lucky to have sgs client

[shell temple]

i usually get bandwidth if i leave it on for a few hours

normally does take a few hours tho

3 or 4 hours

job normally lasts 5 or 6 hours

make about 2 dollars or something

maybe more

[gleaming shell]

damn the only bandwidth salad takes up is the inaccurate ass speedtest on startu

startup*

dumbass school chromebook keyboard

[shell temple]

rip

[gleaming shell]

im probs not gonna get sgs client to download in a pretty long time and tbh if it does download i wont realize it and i will end up restarting my laptop and then never seeing sgs client again lol

[shell temple]

what are the actual earnings like in the us

[quasi nest]

For bandwidth? For me it’s 0.50¢-1$ a day

[shell temple]

damn really?

i wonder why its so different

i can get 2 or 3 dollars in a few hours

[quasi nest]

But I have 1gig down and 50mbps up

The upload probably kills the earnings

[shell temple]

i have 1 gig down and 40 up

😂

[quasi nest]

I assume you’re in the uk or somewhere else

So they probably have more demand so they pay more

[shell temple]

yeah uk

seems like a lot of people in UK get good bandwidth earnings

[stiff wedge]

its alr for me

i max out just under 0.03/15 minutes

[shell temple]

oh damn

[quasi nest]

Yeah they have demand but less people sharing bandwidth than in the usa

[shell temple]

my average per 15 min with bandwidth is like 0.06 - 0.08

[stiff wedge]

i only have bandwidth

and my internet is shit

[shell temple]

yeah makes sense i guess

[stiff wedge]

its like 70 down 20 up lol

[stiff wedge]

damn

i live in a small town so theres no full fibre

fttp

[shell temple]

tbf thats always been with cpu container too

i've never tried

onlpy bandwidth

[stiff wedge]

neither

[shell temple]

i think im going to tonight

[stiff wedge]

good luck

dont burn your cpu

[shell temple]

haha

[shell temple]

I left gpu cpu and bandwidth on last night

and made like

1 dollar 90 or so

ddnt really get a bandwidth job

[stiff wedge]

wow.

[shell temple]

i dont think

[stiff wedge]

only gpu and cpu uses lots of electricity

thats why i stopped

[shell temple]

yeah i think im not gonna leave GPU/CPU overnight

[shell temple]

https://gyazo.com/76ddd080c0292ac55d8d4c0e5d66f159

you can see where i had my bandwidth tasks last night

[stiff wedge]

i think i lost £20 from mining with salad last year

[stiff wedge]

thats crazy bro wtf

thats like 0.05

[shell temple]

yeah

shame that job didnt last very long

[stiff wedge]

oh wait is that only bandwidth

[shell temple]

where it is about 0.01

is

gpu and cpu only and no job

the huge peaks are the extra from bandwidth

[stiff wedge]

wish i have full fibre

with salad bandwdith sharing it can pay my internet and food for a week

[shell temple]

about 0.01 of that is cpu container + gpu mining andthe other 0.06 or so when it was peaking was all from bandwidth

[stiff wedge]

and electricity just to power my pc

[shell temple]

where do u live

oh UK?

[stiff wedge]

mhm

[shell temple]

ye gpu / cpu isnt worth it for us rn

i only use cause i dont pay the leccy

lol

[stiff wedge]

cheeky

im gonna go get ice cream bye bye peoples

im just gonna delete this in case someone wants to nuke me

[hollow vortex]

Lol mine runs within 15 mins of turning on.

[silver cedar]

see

[shadow ivy]

east of england bandwidth

everyone else makes so fucking muc

much

i make 9 cents a day

[shell temple]

i mean im NE

and make quite a lot]

its prob ur internet not location

[shadow ivy]

my internet is literally fine

[shell temple]

whats ur upload

lol

[shadow ivy]

doing test rn.

52mbps

[shell temple]

https://gyazo.com/fe38f9e2ad2083451afcf6d43b4bd469 i've literally just gotten another bandwidth job and my earnings have gone back up to a minimum of 0.05 / 15 min

[shadow ivy]

bruh nah what

so whats urs

mine 52mbps

i make 0.09 cents per day

u make like 2$ per day

[shell temple]

i have fibre

1 gig

[shadow ivy]

what's fibrew

yeah

same

[shell temple]

idk exact upload

[shadow ivy]

do ookla speed test

[shell temple]

its 1 gig down like 40 or 50 upload

[shadow ivy]

virgin media?

[shell temple]

i dont wanna do a speed test whilst i have a bandwidth job xd

yeah

[shadow ivy]

yo lmao

we have same shit

1gb, 50 upload

[shell temple]

are u over ethernet

[shadow ivy]

yup

[shell temple]

not sure then

cat6 all set up properly?

or cat7

[shadow ivy]

tf is a cat

[shell temple]

like

cat6 or cat7 ethernet cable

[shadow ivy]

oh yea

how would i be connected to ethernet

if it wasn't

[shell temple]

nah just cause older ethernet cables have slower transfer speeds

idk then

its not ur location tho

cause im in the NE

[shell temple]

check task manager and check if sgs client is actually running

[shadow ivy]

zgpu app?

[shell temple]

thats probably about right bandwidth doesnt run 24/7 i think ur just struggling to get a job

[shadow ivy]

i found

sgs

how do i see

how much traffic is being used

etc

[shell temple]

jobs get allocated to people who leave salad on for longer they get prioritised

[shadow ivy]

or bandwidth

ok but why does my salad stop randomly

tho

like

i leave it on overnight

at £1.08

check in the morning

paused and £1.09

[shell temple]

umm u can use glasswire to track ur network or u can look at salad logs and if u are getting what looks like an error u are just not getting a job

u might just be really unlucky

[shadow ivy]

what about

the paused stuff

[shell temple]

if u pause salad it resets

[shadow ivy]

no

[shell temple]

like the timer

[shadow ivy]

.
