Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[shell temple]

oh

umm

idk

to be honest

[shadow ivy]

imma ask suppiort

[unborn mason]

Nothing

[potent merlin]

when is bandwitdh coming in Asia 😭

[white knot]

i got it b4 as u may know but once u restart ur pc there's no going back (if u r in an unsupported country without a button 2 kick start sgs client)

[potent merlin]

no one uses VPN in asia? smh!

[white knot]

unless ur ip fluctuate into other countries dat r available once again

[pulsar arrow]

bw stable earnings are back

[gleaming shell]

sgs client (still) isn't back

Us bandwidth moment

[silver cedar]

what the fuck lol

[gleaming shell]

BRO WHAT

[gleaming shell]

PLS DONT TELL ME THATS BANDWIDHT

[silver cedar]

yum

if it stays consistent it might be a third container or some good bw

[final violet]

ive had bandwidth sharing on for couple weeks now

not even 1 cent

is this normal if im in the us

[silver cedar]

good news (for me)

[silver cedar]

usually it is

[final violet]

dam bruh

[silver cedar]

Sometimes you will get spikes

Only very rarely will you have consistent earnings

[final violet]

where do u live

how u earning .016

[silver cedar]

in Florida

[final violet]

dude how

[silver cedar]

only other possibility is a 3rd container

or just some big fluke

[final violet]

how are u getting any money rly

im in nc

and nothing

ur earning more than i get w cpu containers

[silver cedar]

Do you have multiple machines set up for containers

[frigid reef]

#container-beta

best place for container talk

[frigid reef]

yeah there is alot of users sharing bandwidth in the us and a small amount of jobs

so its a bit hard to get them

[final violet]

:(

[silver cedar]

ok yeah it was some huge fluke

[frigid reef]

:D

[pseudo fog]

nova...

[frigid reef]

also my power died if not i would have got my big jobs still :£

[halcyon juniper]

guys is netherland supported for bandwidth sharing

[pseudo fog]

No

[halcyon juniper]

kk

[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!

[pulsar arrow]

bw sharing still doesn't give xp

[peak terrace]

mee6

[upbeat shuttle]

[peak terrace]

It does for me

[upbeat shuttle]

you sure?

[peak terrace]

one moment

[pulsar arrow]

probably your container giving you the xp

been a bug for a while

[peak terrace]

then vs now

[peak terrace]

No I have BW sharing for a friend on my network and he gets xp as well

Uno momento

[pulsar arrow]

hm

[peak terrace]

this account has never had mining or containers

[safe loom]

yeah nah yeah xp does count

im at 609,325

ill say in an hour

[pulsar arrow]

I'm at 185963

[safe loom]

5 mins later, 609,330

it counts

[pulsar arrow]

5 mins later still the same

are you sure ur not running containers

[safe loom]

yes

maybe it only counts when you have a job

[pulsar arrow]

oh I do have a job

@upbeat shuttle does it count for u

[peak terrace]

If it counts for everyone else then surely it would count for you as well

[frigid reef]

Bandwidth sharing dosent count towards xp yet

[safe loom]

well

it does

so

bad news for you

[frigid reef]

Well it doesn’t last time we were told sooo

[safe loom]

well its currently counting while im speaking

with only bandwidth enabled

so either i have a glitch that benefits me

or it does

[upbeat shuttle]

I can't tell since I'm running containers too

[safe loom]

meen 15 mins suince last message

its clearly counting bro

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

maybe it's changed since we were told then

[pulsar arrow]

mines not 🥲

seems like the only way is to run containers 24/7 on my uni laptop aswell

[shrewd terrace]

yay sgs client refuses to run again

[silver cedar]

whole lotta fail

[neon blade]

@shrewd terrace is 4 hours sleep gppd

[shrewd terrace]

that's half what's recommended-

[neon blade]

wait why am i talking here

i am getting sleepy ngl

[pulsar arrow]

[stiff wedge]

Sleeping is overrated

I bandwidth share.

[gleaming shell]

Imagine

I sleep
Bc bandwidth sharing broken

Well it's not broken I'm just not worthy enought for bandwidth jobs

[safe loom]

i sleep with my bandwidth

cause the only relationship in my life is with SGS

[gleaming shell]

my sgs client left me

4 months ago

[stiff wedge]

my sgs is still with me >:D

[safe loom]

took the kids

[pulsar arrow]

took the gigabytes

stable all the way

[shrewd terrace]

my bandwith is not working

[upbeat shuttle]

could you be a lil bit more descriptive?

[silver cedar]

(their bandwidth is not working)

[upbeat shuttle]

😱

[gleaming shell]

bruh i had to restart my laptop meaning not only did i lose my 2nd container, now its running xmrig and now there goes 4 days worth of uptime trying to get sgs client to download IUWERWERHYW48T9W83EU80W3EYU083UR

[pseudo fog]

bru

[gleaming shell]

br

[pseudo fog]

idk if it does any but

[unborn mason]

sad i restarted my pc after 3 days now i got reset

[gentle osprey]

sad

[silver cedar]

Fre

[shrewd terrace]

guy help my bandwith is not running

[gentle osprey]

You have to wait

Are you in a supported country though?

[shrewd terrace]

ye

[subtle condor]

You could try enabling GPU for 15 seconds and then disabling it

[upbeat shuttle]

Downloading sgs-client manually does nothing, I'm afraid

[pseudo fog]

then

we need to do some bandwidth shitting

[potent merlin]

which is the next country that will be getting bandwidth sharing facility? any idea?

[upbeat shuttle]

nope

the ones underlined in my FAQ seem to possibly be the closest, as we've found Salad sgs servers in those locations~

[frigid reef]

Though dosent directly mean the bw sharing location will be in the same one as the sgs server

Aka Australia’s sgs server is in Singapore

[neon blade]

i will die

[kindred helm]

why do people want me to sing a pore

[silver cedar]

tfw singing about porre

[pseudo fog]

BANDWIDTH SHARING FRANCE?!!

[upbeat shuttle]

What country are you in?
What internet speeds do you get? (Download & Upload)

ah it looks like I didn't have this in my FAQs, I've updated it now with this;

It seems to be the UK currently

I don't think it's your firewall that's causing this, but here's a guide that might help. At step 4, tick anything related to Salad.
https://support.salad.com/article/185-how-to-whitelist-salads-miners-in-windows-firewall

There's also this article that you could look through if that doesn't help:
https://support.salad.com/article/186-how-to-unblock-salad-with-your-isp

[upbeat shuttle]

Though again, I think the main reason for Bandwidth Sharing not working for you is this ^^

The additional latency induced by using a proxy will probably be above Salad's limits soo

Doesn't the traffic still have to go back to your PC in the US

[mighty fractal]

italy is now on bandwith sharing!

finally thanks salad!!

i will become rich now

i dont see it starting

what do i do?

[upbeat shuttle]

says who?

[mighty fractal]

i live in italy

[upbeat shuttle]

oho

[silver cedar]

explode

[upbeat shuttle]

Bandwidth Sharing currently doesn't work at the same time as CPU mining, so if you're CPU mining, you'd wanna disable your CPU

[mighty fractal]

but i dont see anything using my network

[mighty fractal]

im on beta

[upbeat shuttle]

Ah

[silver cedar]

so you have a container job running?

[mighty fractal]

yes

[silver cedar]

oh

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd recommend reading through the pinned posts - the Minimum Requirements in particular

[mighty fractal]

my speed is this is this enough

[upbeat shuttle]

That should be, yeah

[mighty fractal]

so what i do???

this is not workingggg

sgs-client.exe is not running pls help @upbeat shuttle

who we should ask to help

where do you live

oh

ok

that is the reason it is not working

<@&702949328263839775> my sgs-client.exe is not running pls help

[still tendon]

wait

you ened to wait

it'll give you a job

depends on market demand

idk

you wait until you get the bandiwdth sharing job

in the meanwhile just run containers

idk

run task manager, sort by network and see if sgs-client is anywhere to be found

[upbeat shuttle]

bruh

[mighty fractal]

no

[silver cedar]

why would you do that for US

[upbeat shuttle]

if you're not in a supported country then it's up to you to read through the guides we've made...

[silver cedar]

USA jobs are ass

[still tendon]

just use containers if you have to

[upbeat shuttle]

there is zero (0) (no) guarantee that it'll work if you're not in a supported country

[still tendon]

why are you using a vm

mate

no shit it's acting all weird

you arent meant to put it in a vm

[upbeat shuttle]

double bruh.

literally the first pinned post

[silver cedar]

well it isn't going to work in a vm for sure

[upbeat shuttle]

"(VPNs and/or VMs will not work)"

and this guy wants to run it with a residential proxy; essentially a vpn, and in a vm

[mighty fractal]

in logs there is not anything

[silver cedar]

can I have a res UK IP pretty please

😃

(💥)

[still tendon]

uk bandwidth sharing isnt as good

[silver cedar]

my ass it isn't as good

US users got it bad

[still tendon]

i had to wait 2 hours once for a bandwidth sharing job which i didnt even notice any difference on earnings

might just be my thing acting up

[upbeat shuttle]

wdym, have you seen how many people in the UK are flexing in #show-off-your-earnings lol

[still tendon]

yeah i think my salad is just acting weird

it always says my cpu is incompatible

ryzen 5 5600x is too weak to run salad containers

[silver cedar]

I've ran containers on my Ryzen 5500u so

[still tendon]

it used to work and now it's acting weird

mate

proxies

do not work

for bandwidth sharing

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm sorry, but I don't have enough free time to help you, let alone to help you do something that goes against what Salad wants

[still tendon]

the logic isnt logicing

proxies block it

salad blocks the proxies

my bad

first off, stop using a vm

tell yourself that when salad just dies on it

[upbeat shuttle]

Btw this is potentially against Salad's TOS, now that I think about it

Might be a good idea to give up, or at the very least be quiet about it

If it becomes annoying, then I'll make you be quiet

-.-

[kindred helm]

why are some people like this

[upbeat shuttle]

I have no idea

[upbeat shuttle]

.-.

I think your best bet would be contacting #official-support and letting them know that you may have found a potential bug/vulnerability

[subtle condor]

bandwidth sharing crashed :P

[silver cedar]

epic bandwidth increase

[upbeat shuttle]

a magician never reveals their secrets~

good thing I'm not a magician
I'm in the UK and have relatively decent speeds, and I have good uptime / stability

I've got a PC and laptop running GPU and CPU containers respectively, but I honestly doubt that they're even earning me anything

I should probably just turn the PC off until GPU container workloads actually get better

mmm yeah

No, not for bandwidth sharing

I answered that in #community-support :)

you.. did ask

[pulsar arrow]

mine crashed 2days ago but now back

don't restart salad

it'll work itself out

you can't

it'll still show the bw sharing options if you use a vpn

just won't earn you anything

[pulsar arrow]

or a proxy

[pulsar arrow]

nova with the 9$ a day

[shrewd terrace]

what app is that

[shrewd terrace]

i get the same

[pulsar arrow]

glasswire

[shrewd terrace]

ty

[pulsar arrow]

CPU is the container

and GPU is GPU container

they haven't separated them yet

wdym parameter

just enable it

in the performance tab

there are very few GPU jobs atm, so don't expect much if you have a compatible gpu

[upbeat shuttle]

You enable the container environment in the Settings, then you disable / enable your CPU / GPU in the Performance tab

It'll prioritise container jobs, but if there isn't a container job available, then it'll mine crypto

[pulsar arrow]

send ss

that's not... what you enable them

in the main tab

on the top

you'll see a performance tab

yeah your good to go

hit start

huh

strange

reinstall?

there's like a guaranteed 0.50-1$ if it works

ye

containers do not work on VM

I'm not sure about datacentres

pretty sure datacentres use multiple instances on a single machine which would make it a VM

so it prob wouldn't work

I just said VMs don't work

doesn't matter how it's made

it won't earn you much

maybe a few cents a day

because of crypto mining

but nothing else

[subtle condor]

it says degraded lul

[pulsar arrow]

if you don't have a container job, it'll mine crypto

[subtle condor]

dude stop trying to run Salad in a vm lmao

[pulsar arrow]

goodluck

[subtle condor]

you're gonna try and get yourself banned

:)

[hollow vortex]

got a nice job going finaly , 5 minute click 1.3 gig and climbing

[pulsar arrow]

us picking up

[hollow vortex]

guess we'll find out the most i did was about 3 months ago - did a total of 2.3 TB in 30 days

[sinful lark]

is there a way to maximise my bandwith sharing earnings

[subtle condor]

run it 24/7

[pulsar arrow]

if the us can get higher demand than supply, you'll be making some real cash with your gigabit lol

it'd be better than the UK

[hollow vortex]

yeah im waiting . lol

[pulsar arrow]

I can't let that happen!

[shrewd terrace]

wait you’ve got a limit on your bandwidth

or is that how much you’ve done

[pulsar arrow]

unlimited bandwidth

or do u mean something else

[shrewd terrace]

yeah like do you have unlimited bandwidth

[pulsar arrow]

Yes

my ISP doesn't have a cap

[shrewd terrace]

aaaahah alr

[shrewd terrace]

same

[sinful lark]

why does my ndm log upload start at like 100 and goes all the way down to 5?

[kindred helm]

pog

[upbeat shuttle]

frenchies and italies are now added pog

[hollow vortex]

pog?

[pulsar arrow]

Baguette moment

[gleaming shell]

woah new supported regions

[subtle condor]

FRANCE!!!!

[hollow vortex]

no we need more jobs in the US lol not somehwere else

[gleaming shell]

EXACRLY

WEXACTLY

EXACTLY*

[hollow vortex]

and now my sgs just died. this is sad. lol

[pulsar arrow]

keep it running

[hollow vortex]

barely breathing, that job lasted about an hour LOOL

[gleaming shell]

my sgs died a long time ago
4 months later, still not worth to have sgs client downloaded lol

[hollow vortex]

going on 6 days uptime my friend

[pulsar arrow]

a

[gleaming shell]

im planning on keeping my laptop on for 2 months

[pulsar arrow]

wish I had your internet here

the upload speed value is terrible here

with gigabit you only get 150 up

[hollow vortex]

that is still decent

[pulsar arrow]

with my current provider you only get 50 up for 1 gig down

[pulsar arrow]

nah lol, I'd have preferred if they gave me 500 down and like 350 up

[upbeat shuttle]

alrighty there's the pinned messages updated - back to watching animu

[pulsar arrow]

[shrewd terrace]

wrong

who cares about the us

[upbeat shuttle]

well

maybe people in the US

[gleaming shell]

i live in the us

sucks here

will literally move to the uk for bandwidth jobs

[pulsar arrow]

we welcome you

to go back so we keep our jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

:)

true brit.

[pulsar arrow]

[upbeat shuttle]

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[gleaming shell]

but i will need to break in to someones house and get their wifi password tho

and im not even worthy enough to have sgs client downloaded so i dont think i would be getting jobs easily lol

[pulsar arrow]

go on vacation

boost our gdp

pay for it with salad

ez!

[upbeat shuttle]

the british economy 💪 💪 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

[gleaming shell]

i will swim over to the uk

[pseudo fog]

amazing

but

were s fucing INDIA BANDWIHTD

[gleaming shell]

boutta walk 4000 miles just for the bandwidth jbs

[pulsar arrow]

just jump

[pseudo fog]

"Hi everyone, we heard you wanted more bandwidth jobs"

ON INDIA

[gleaming shell]

instructions unclear, am now here

[pulsar arrow]

bw sharing on the moon next

no india

[gleaming shell]

bandwidth sharing on this one crater when

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth sharing inside the sun when

[gleaming shell]

when water cooled sun

[upbeat shuttle]

AND I WOULD WALK 4 THOUSAND MILES, AND I WOULD WALK 4 THOUSAND MORE

[still tendon]

when solid update for gas giants

like honestly i want to walk on them

they look walkable

[still tendon]

im british innit

mans got a shank

run me your ps

ill ching you

[white knot]

yeah yeah its rlly available on proxima centauri planets when

[stiff wedge]

gg France and Italy

[civic fern]

yeah but it is not running anything atm

is it like containers, where i need to find a job first?

[civic fern]

Tried to give a little peek at the troubleshooting section, although at this point i'm just gonna wait for tomorrow to retry

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd recommend looking at the Minimum Requirements section first

then the FAQs, then troubleshooting

I should probably redo the order of the pins at some point heh

[civic fern]

:3

Anyway, yas, i do meet all mininum requirements without problems, what might be possible is that... Perhaps it's "too new" atm?

As i said, i'm gonna do a better check tomorrow regarding all salad-related things

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah maybe

[civic fern]

Although, i didn't understand if either cpu or gpu must be on while bandwidth is enabled

[upbeat shuttle]

I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a bit of time before everything is mostly running as normal on Salad's end

[civic fern]

Fair

Imma update tomorrow after proper testing

[safe loom]

pretty sure it’s A thousand miles

[upbeat shuttle]

I hope you forget to eat your five a day and you shatter

[safe loom]

eat what

[upbeat shuttle]

your five a day

veggies and stuff

[upbeat shuttle]

this is the mandela effect i swear

you can imagine so many different things

a thousand, five hundred, five thousand

[safe loom]

or the british

a fousand

[hybrid star]

sgs-client never starts for me

[pseudo fog]

just

dont make it not start

[hybrid star]

figured it out

[pulsar arrow]

gg

sgs has hit 7tbs

[gleaming shell]

sgs has not downloaded

Imagine

[safe loom]

almost a tb

[silver cedar]

i should check my pc lol

lol

[narrow tiger]

im assuming usa isnt supported yet?

[silver cedar]

it has been supported for a while

just earnings are ass

source: im from the us

[final torrent]

I have bandwidth sharing enabled but I don't think it's making a difference for me

[silver cedar]

oh god I stand corrected

for now

(see: the end of the graph)

[safe loom]

it is

[narrow tiger]

yeah

[safe loom]

theres just not a ton of demand for supply

[narrow tiger]

bruh

are better jobs coming to the us

[safe loom]

we hope

[silver cedar]

who knows

[safe loom]

but they're trying to get more demand and more supply

[narrow tiger]

whats the next 24hours for bandwidth alone in us

[silver cedar]

i cannot answer that

[narrow tiger]

i tried bandwidth i couldnt tell if it had gotten a job yet or not

[silver cedar]

it is wildly inconsistent and most of my earnings are coming from containers

[narrow tiger]

so i assumed it was goofy

[narrow tiger]

oh

[narrow tiger]

can i just use vpn then to the uk and get jobs

[safe loom]

no

[silver cedar]

depends if you have residential ips

[narrow tiger]

oh

nvm

[silver cedar]

latency also matters

and the speed

[safe loom]

vpns have database ips, and they have high latency with 0 support for dual tunneling

[silver cedar]

but if you can get all three of those

then it could be possible

[safe loom]

sgs client itself is a "vpn tunnel"

[silver cedar]

thinking about how I failed to set up a router vm with a vpn for several other vms but failed

so I just made the host use a vpn

[safe loom]

?

[silver cedar]

something unrelated to salad

[safe loom]

if you flash a router with openwrt you can use openvpn

[narrow tiger]

i host my own open vpn

[silver cedar]

i never tried openwrt on a vm since it seemed like a pain in the ass

[safe loom]

why a vm?

[narrow tiger]

for at school

[safe loom]

its built to be ran on routers

[silver cedar]

wanted to setup a network of vms

not physical devices

[narrow tiger]

yeah i had an old one

[safe loom]

like its based on a router support basis, theres no universal image for it

most wrt software does that

but if you want a server to be a router you use pfsense

[silver cedar]

i used opnsense and pfsense and they worked for a while (until they exploded)

[safe loom]

user error

[silver cedar]

i was able to get away with using windows server as a router (shit idea)

and also artix linux

opnsense is nicer than pfsense it seems (at least until it randomly breaks)

(with no user input)

[narrow tiger]

can i use multiple vms to run multiple cpu containers

[safe loom]

no

[silver cedar]

No

[narrow tiger]

is it not allowed

[safe loom]

vmws dont work at all with containers

[silver cedar]

it just doesnt work

[narrow tiger]

why

[silver cedar]

and is against tos anyways

[narrow tiger]

whats vmws

oh

[safe loom]

wont work, against tos, will get you banned

[silver cedar]

but you can set up multiple machines

[narrow tiger]

whats in tos that doesnt allow it

[silver cedar]

honestly idk what part of the tos says it

[narrow tiger]

bruh

[silver cedar]

i just know its against the tos though

[narrow tiger]

why

[silver cedar]

something something unfair advantage (???)

[safe loom]

if you got a vm to work, and managed to make it run, salads flag system will detect you "limiting your cpu" and ban your account from container workloads

[safe loom]

2 c9

[safe loom]

falsifying shared resources

[narrow tiger]

yeah but i would be setting my vms cpu to a specific one

like virtual box

[silver cedar]

ultimate solution: faked core 2 duo vm using qemu

[narrow tiger]

yeah ik

[safe loom]

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;

[narrow tiger]

thats literally my idea

but its a whole different cpu

[silver cedar]

this probably has a higher chance of working given that you use nested and spoof some other things

doesnt matter as long as you use kvm

[narrow tiger]

and salad would be detecting it as a whole nother cpu

yeah ik

[safe loom]

it wont

[narrow tiger]

but its techbically different cpus

qlso

also

[safe loom]

salad has imposed a multitude of safeguards that we dont know about

[narrow tiger]

what if i just got some cheap ass windows 10 laptops

and ran salad cpu containers on them

[silver cedar]

you can do that

[safe loom]

well another big thing is that container jobs are somewhat limited

[narrow tiger]

its the same thing as using qemu

[silver cedar]

but the more devices

[narrow tiger]

but cpu containers support most cphs

[silver cedar]

the less of a chance of you actually getting a container job on them

[narrow tiger]

cpus bruh

not gpu

for cpu containers you get then instantly

gpu containers take YEARS

[silver cedar]

cpu containers you can easily get one job

[safe loom]

the matrix (workload system) will guarantee you 1 available job, but you have a very low chance to even get a second 1, let alone more than 2

[silver cedar]

but the chance decreases exponentially

[narrow tiger]

but anyways wouldnt it be like the same concept

of getting cheap laptops

vs qemu

[safe loom]

you used to be able to do that, before the limit

[silver cedar]

cheap laptops arent vms and are generally more performant

[narrow tiger]

oh

for accounts?

[safe loom]

yes

[narrow tiger]

welp

[silver cedar]

dude I would be making so much more then if this still was the case

[narrow tiger]

cheap laptops as in like 2gb of ram cheap

[safe loom]

well go back in time before december

[narrow tiger]

vms would be faster

[silver cedar]

nobody told me salad had this shit

i stopped using it for months

[safe loom]

needs to be able to support virtualization and run windows 10/11

[narrow tiger]

but that only happens if you try getting two cpu containers right

cause i have two device

s

[silver cedar]

see right now I have 2 containers

[safe loom]

it happens for everyone

[narrow tiger]

and one of then trying to get a gpu

and other cpu?

[silver cedar]

but I have more devices than container jobs

[safe loom]

you can easily get 1 cpu sharing workload, but the matrix will put you in a queue like state for the other devices

[narrow tiger]

gr

thats goofy

[safe loom]

no

[narrow tiger]

yes

[safe loom]

because when they added that salad was paying out of their pocket

[silver cedar]

bandwidth when the band is wide

[safe loom]

salad is still paying out of their pocket for their xmrig workload, but the rest are real customer workloads

[narrow tiger]

oh damn

yo 30 mhs

yay

and 250watts

bruh

[safe loom]

salad when when salad

[final torrent]

I have environment container + bandwith sharing still I ain't getting much

[safe loom]

is your container working properly?

[narrow tiger]

use cpu container and leave it on 24/7

[final torrent]

I have cpu enabled

[narrow tiger]

and not gpu right

[final torrent]

yep

[narrow tiger]

are you using your pc while it mines

if you leave it on all day it would probably be more profitable too

and turning off sleep mode

[final torrent]

I got environmental container yesterday and it predicted i should get 60 cents by this time but I have max only got 6 cents

[final torrent]

nope I just got on

[narrow tiger]

it probably turned off

[final torrent]

so what do I do to fix?

[narrow tiger]

did it turn off tho

[sinful lark]

Ay why tf my bandwith sharing not working

it was working this mornin

[final torrent]

Nup, it was on the whole time

[narrow tiger]

its inconsistent

[narrow tiger]

then i have no clue

👍

[safe loom]

just leave it alone 👍

[sinful lark]

how do i maximie my earnings

with bandwith sharing

[frigid reef]

Have bandwidth sharing enabled, press start on salad and leave it on for as long as possible

[wicked yoke]

@fair fern will bandwidth sharing ever come out in US and Canada?

[safe loom]

it has

well not canada

but

its in US

[wicked yoke]

Oh well I’m in Canada

That sucks

[safe loom]

you'll have to wait

[wicked yoke]

But it will come out in Canada right? 🙏🏼

[safe loom]

we hope

[wicked yoke]

I look forward to it

[safe loom]

but we wont know when and cant confirm if

[wicked yoke]

Alright thanks 🙏🏼

[safe loom]

🤝

[wicked yoke]

I won’t raise my hopes up 😭

[frigid reef]

At the end of the day, salad is wanting to expand to as many countries as they can but are limited by what the customers want to purchase, Canada will eventually be able to share bandwidth we are just unsure on when

[empty plover]

any chance bandwidth sharing will come to asian countries?

or global release ever?

[frigid reef]

please refer to the message above yours

but to add onto it, yes there is a chance, just not sure how long it will be

[empty plover]

Ahh okay..

i have a really good interent (1000mbps) after hearing it doesn't support my country im jus

🥲

[frigid reef]

yeah, in the uk the $ per gb is pretty high, with only 70mbps i can get up to 9 dollars a day. (btw this reflects to only the earnings of the uk and no other country)

[empty plover]

Ahh i see

hopefully soon on asian countries, thx for the info btw

[frigid reef]

np, happy to help

[silver cedar]

you should let me borrow your ip

[frigid reef]

[glossy torrent]

India has such a high demand, that it will reach $ per hour every day lmao

minimum*

[frigid reef]

if it had such a high demand then it would be supported already

[glossy torrent]

there are no refunds for purchase with salad bal r thr?

I buyed some ingame stuff thinking it was the whole game

[safe loom]

no, unless the reward is irredeemable you cannot refund it

[neon blade]

Yeah there are hungry chefs but no hungry companies here

[glossy torrent]

i didnt redeem it

its a code

[frigid reef]

yes but at the end of the day you still have it, so they cant confirm if you use it after they refund you or not

[glossy torrent]

i will just have to give it away ig

[woven tundra]

So you can’t have a container while bandwidth sharing?

<@&702949328263839775>

Hello?

[naive lava]

u can

[woven tundra]

Cuz I’m in Italy for vacation

And I see the option

It’s enabled

But it doesn’t do anything

[naive lava]

tried reinstalling?

[woven tundra]

I don’t think I should

Since

I’m leaving Italy tomorrow anyways

I was here for ski

Today’s the last ski day

And then I’m gone

[naive lava]

xd

[woven tundra]

17h road ahead

Is 30mbps enough for bandwidth sharing?

It’s hotel WiFi

[naive lava]

yup

[woven tundra]

Like look

And it’s been on since it got released

[naive lava]

nais

[woven tundra]

Not nice

That’s a container not bandwidth

[civic fern]

Yup, same here

But i do live in Italy

[frigid reef]

you gotta wait to get a job

[civic fern]

I am starting to think that the upload speed is killing my chances at getting the bandwidth thingy running

Downloads are at 100~mbps, while upload reach 20mbps top

[naive lava]

i think you're good

[civic fern]

Testing at uni with my laptop i guess

how to get banned from university's wifi

[naive lava]

💀

[modern panther]

🗿

[modern panther]

no reposting

monkey

ok

[civic fern]

I've checked the logs of the download/upload test, and at this point i'm wondering which server is being used for such tests

i know for a fact that my upload speed is enough, but the log says otherwise

[modern panther]

skill issue

its actually compensating for the fact that ur internet will be slowed down over long distances

so cope

[civic fern]

dude are you in this server only for trolling or what

[modern panther]

nah

ur internet is ass

[kindred helm]

im here to what

[modern panther]

ur here to what

[kindred helm]

he asked if youre here for trolling, or for what

im personally here for what

[modern panther]

i am also here to what

ngl

[glossy torrent]

ur not receiving s job then

[pulsar arrow]

the test server location is shown in the ndm logs

[frigid reef]

People sharing bandwidth in the uk, are you seeing your ip fraud score getting higher?

[jaunty solar]

Hey I didn't found my answer here. What's the minimal windows requirements for bandwidth?

[pseudo fog]

Read the pins

If ur lazy, its 10mbps down and 10mbps up

[frigid reef]

well its any supported windows version with a internet connection

[pulsar arrow]

not really no, and your score will always change due to your IP being dynamic and changing every now and then

[pseudo fog]

and 7+

[pulsar arrow]

so you might have gotten a bad IP when it was randomly assigned to you

[frigid reef]

||its alot more common in the uk to have a static ip address||

aka virgin media is known for this

[pulsar arrow]

oh

mines low risk

fraud score 12

[pseudo fog]

Got 0

If it goes up with bw sharing im so gonna

[pulsar arrow]

[frigid reef]

this is what im looking into

[pulsar arrow]

my contract with VM ends in a year so I'll switcheroo to another isp

new IP that way ez

[pseudo fog]

"Hey you! Have you thought no power usage from Salad was not degrading your PC?"

"Well it degrades your IP"

Cant even bandwidth share in Ohio

[jaunty solar]

Thanks so windows 10 and higher

[zealous hull]

how to download the bandwith sharing ?

[pulsar arrow]

Well I have a dynamic ip

[zealous hull]

wait im in india

[modern panther]

read pins

[zealous hull]

will it work

[modern panther]

no

[frigid reef]

no

[zealous hull]

no?

damn

[pulsar arrow]

just do ipconfig /all in CMD

and find DHCP enabled

if it says yes

[frigid reef]

yeah im getting mixed information from online

[pulsar arrow]

you have a dynamic ip

if it's no, you have a static one

[pulsar arrow]

Yeah I saw multiple sites say this so I just tried it

[frigid reef]

ah it is, but why my ip never change

[upbeat shuttle]

TWO people that didn't read the pinned messages

[frigid reef]

ok ima try and get a new ip

[upbeat shuttle]

good luck

[pulsar arrow]

your going to restart your router

rip sgs

[upbeat shuttle]

dw it starts basically immediately in the UK :)

at least, for most people

[frigid reef]

getting shit earnings anyway atm

[pulsar arrow]

yeah mine crashed this morning and the moment I moved my mouse, it started sending through 60mbps

[frigid reef]

as you can see

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

[pulsar arrow]

earnings have been going down slightly for me too

less consistent

[upbeat shuttle]

my IP score isn't that great, but I'm still getting the usual decent earnings

oh yeah that reminds me, I've now been waiting over a month for my new internet to be installed

[pulsar arrow]

there's a gigabit guy in #show-off-your-earnings

he's probably stealing our jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

who

[civic fern]

sorry nova, how do you check for fraud score?

[pulsar arrow]

#show-off-your-earnings message

[upbeat shuttle]

[pulsar arrow]

that's not his most recent msg but his top earning

[frigid reef]

That’s how much I earn maxed out

[pulsar arrow]

daamn

[civic fern]

which pin exactly?

[pulsar arrow]

so either salad has a point of diminishing returns in bandwith, or he has less than gigabit and is similar to yours

[pulsar arrow]

https://www.ipqualityscore.com/ip-reputation-check

[civic fern]

... hot damn, 93?

[frigid reef]

Could be or he just isn’t getting as many jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

"Your IP should ideally have a good quality rating" in the minimum requirements

[civic fern]

whoops, thank you :D

[pulsar arrow]

oh I checked my ip with another site

this one shows 0

[civic fern]

fair that i'm not getting anything atm lol

fraud score 93/100

[pulsar arrow]

oof!

hey atleast you might get lucky with gpu containers

[civic fern]

although, this isn't my home net, i tested with an outside net lol

gonna test it out once i return home

[pulsar arrow]

💀

prob why

public/open WiFi is always bad

[civic fern]

yup

never trust open wifis

[pulsar arrow]

[upbeat shuttle]

UK + relatively good internet speeds

[frigid reef]

i got the same ip

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm sorry to hear that

[frigid reef]

dam rip, sorry to hear that

[upbeat shuttle]

the pay per GB varies between country, and it also fluctuates/changes over time

France is still new, so its pay could very potentially increase from now :)

[pseudo fog]

We all were told we'd get up to 1$ a day

Every country

[kindred helm]

[upbeat shuttle]

@shrewd terrace I swear I told you to stop talking about breaking Salad's TOS here. As this is Salad's discord server, that ain't gonna fly here. Don't do this again.

[glossy torrent]

did i say smthing that broke the rules?

im sorry anyways

[upbeat shuttle]

dw it was just them, but I purged the entire conversation

[glossy torrent]

which country has highest users

?

[upbeat shuttle]

for what, Salad? Bandwidth Sharing?

Containers aren't Bandwidth Sharing

[glossy torrent]

ye

[upbeat shuttle]

We don't really know

[glossy torrent]

like some mod said india had 2nd most users of salad, which one is 1st

[safe loom]

@hollow whale wanna tell us the funny numbers

[mighty fractal]

im sad bandwith sharing does not start becouse the upload speed is too low what i can do?

[upbeat shuttle]

If your internet speeds don't meet the minimum (10mbps down/up) then there's nothing you can do, other than upgrading your internet with your ISP

[mighty fractal]

sad

but in speed test.com it is 20mbps up but in the salad one is 8 why?

how i do that?

ok seems right

[mighty fractal]

the startup thing makes sense that is the problem i thing

[safe loom]

in australia the minimum seems to be 5mbps btw

my sgs starts with 5mbps upload tests

[mighty fractal]

we need to know the minimium in italy

[safe loom]

probably 10/10

salad said its 10/10 but is 5/5 in some areas

[mighty fractal]

oh so i give up

[upbeat shuttle]

The minimum is typically 10mbps, with very few cases where it's 5

[mighty fractal]

sad

[pulsar arrow]

my sgs client is dying

damn maybe i am right about uk bandwidth being saturated

or going to

the packgod sponsorship probably let in tons of brits

[civic fern]

Ok i understand why my net isn't passing the 10mbps speedtest

it's because the server it picks for the test is absolute crap

speedtest.net response

log file

the thing is, at the start of the uploading test, it is able to stay over 10mbps

[frigid reef]

dam apparently even though it says that DHCP is enabled, my ip address is not changing at all

[pulsar arrow]

real

[frigid reef]

apparently virgin medias dynamic ips are very very sticky and unless you get really lucky the only way to get a new one is to buy a router and put the isp given one into modem mode

[civic fern]

[pulsar arrow]

your up is 3mbps

prob wont work

[civic fern]

...

[civic fern]

.

[pulsar arrow]

yes i get what ur saying

the speedtest servers suck on salad

unless you get lucky with a good server

[civic fern]

alright at least someone else gets it lol

[pulsar arrow]

ye

[civic fern]

although, i don't think it's salad's fault

[pulsar arrow]

my bandwidth is dead

[civic fern]

the server is Italy (GARR); sponsored by Consortium GARR

i guess that's the benchmarking server they're using?

[pulsar arrow]

probably

[civic fern]

but the problem is, due to how the speedtest goes, you either have fiber at home with 1gbps connection, or the upload rate is always gonna dip too low

[pulsar arrow]

yeah

i had the same issue when mine kept connecting a nottingham based server

[civic fern]

task manager gives a little spike in uploading speed, and then seems to stop completely without the test being over

[pulsar arrow]

it was slow af and didnt have much upload bandiwdth

eventually, i just kept restarting until i got the london one

[civic fern]

it interrupts uploading way before the test is done

god...

so it doesn't seem to be a server problem... i guess?

[pulsar arrow]

it might be

the server being bad

[civic fern]

...wait a minute

lemme pull out the laptop

it did pass the test with the university connection for whatever reason

lemme check those logs

ooooook

the laptop passes the test just fine

i'm starting to think it's my repeater at this point, since my laptop is directly connected to the modem atm?

nnnope still same result

at this point it is something to do with my pc

but i don't know what

oh well, as long as it does work at least on one device

[silver cedar]

librespeed is ass

[gleaming shell]

yes

Libraspeed bad

Libte*

[silver cedar]

what would have happened if salad used speedtest-cli

[gleaming shell]

libresperd*

[gleaming shell]

Probs more chances for me to get sgs client to download

[gleaming shell]

4th attempt now to correct this
librespeed*

I wonder if other crappy dark web bandwidth sharing apps can affect trustabIlity rating

[silver cedar]

they do

salad hasnt fucked up my ip score though

actually it went down lol

[gleaming shell]

then im uninstalling honeygain the

honeygain bad in the first place idk how i installed it

if it does affect my trustability rating it could be why my sgs client isnt downloading

[stiff wedge]

na it doesnt matter

i have honeygain way before salad and i still make loads with salad

[gleaming shell]

oh

well at the end of the day i just want sgs client to download lol

[stiff wedge]

keep doing the speed test thing

it should once u get both upload and download above 10

[gleaming shell]

they usually give out the same speeds, 120-150 down, 20 up on a good day

meets the minimum requirements but idk if the ping is affecting it

does seem high

[stiff wedge]

ping does

[gleaming shell]

(compared to others)

[stiff wedge]

if librespeed chooses a shit server

it gives u high ping

[gleaming shell]

librespeed sucks

[stiff wedge]

and then u get more packetlost of whatever its called

and ur speed goes down

this is literally my ndm log i had to do it this many times to get the upload over 10

[gleaming shell]

btw are you in the us im curious

[stiff wedge]

uk

[gleaming shell]

oh

im in the us

[silver cedar]

i had to rerun the test a few times before I got what I thought was a good enough test

[stiff wedge]

it should work the same

[silver cedar]

then I just waited a few days and sgs finally downloaded

[gleaming shell]

i think its my ping or upload speed affecting my chances of sgs client downloading

[stiff wedge]

thats probably it

[silver cedar]

i got like a ~39 mbps upload on my last test

[stiff wedge]

thats good

[gleaming shell]

Bc all I get is ~20mbps up on a good day and I think my ping is pretty high so yeah

Could be why my sgs client isn't downloading

[gleaming shell]

do you restart your pc often

or is it always on 24/7

[silver cedar]

24/7

[gleaming shell]

could also be why you have sgs client and i dont

i restart my laptop too often

i had to restart it a few days ago bc i needed to uninstall something

my trustability rating is probs so bad rn

[pulsar arrow]

my banwidth is awful

it jumps to 20 mbps then go back down

Barely ANY earnings

[civic fern]

Bandwidth sharing has been active for 1 hour, and i've yet to see anything happen at all

[gleaming shell]

imagine

mine jumps from 0mbps to 0mbps

no earnings

[pulsar arrow]

real

[gleaming shell]

jeaoifjeirjerfi3f3erif0oewpcjimvn bihoierfpk

[pulsar arrow]

@upbeat shuttle are your earnings affected as well

[gleaming shell]

just move to the us so you get no bandwidth jobs so you dont have to go through the pain of seeing ur bandwidth sharing getting very ba d jobs

[pulsar arrow]

I'd rather push through the pain

[silver cedar]

did my job like die then come back lol

[pulsar arrow]

my stable earnings

[civic fern]

Is anyone able to translate log language

[upbeat shuttle]

no bandwidth is being shared

"BidirThroughput" aka Bi-directional Throughput (of data; packets) is the important one to look at

[civic fern]

got it

it has been like this for 2 hours

[upbeat shuttle]

well as long as it's running, you'll eventually get jobs

[civic fern]

i hope :D

[warm patio]

damn nice

what's your bandwidth speed?

[upbeat shuttle]

150 down, 25-30 up

[warm patio]

in like mbps?

huh thats odd i have 300mbps down and around 200mbps up

guess i mustve closed it too many times or something

[pulsar arrow]

what region are you in

[warm patio]

east US

[upbeat shuttle]

ah yep that'd explain it

[pulsar arrow]

us region doesn't have much demand

[upbeat shuttle]

there's a lot more demand for the UK than the US, meaning the pay per GB is higher here

[warm patio]

;/ so do i use a vpn or something?

[pulsar arrow]

vpns don't work

they have datacentre ips

[silver cedar]

you need a res proxy but those cost money lol

[pulsar arrow]

not guaranteed, latency would be too high

[warm patio]

i mean if thats the case whats the average pay per GB in us

[pulsar arrow]

best option right now would be to keep it running, in case demand rises or someone else leaves their job

[pulsar arrow]

don't know

nobody does I think

[silver cedar]

jack shit

thats what it is

lol

[warm patio]

im just chilling with my 11c/d earnings

[pulsar arrow]

run containers, would be profitable

[warm patio]

it dont work

might have to restart

[pulsar arrow]

containers are dynamic asw

but there's a lot more consistency to it

ultimately depends on demand

also we're still in beta for containers

[warm patio]

k then ill try it out

[pulsar arrow]

#container-beta feel free to ask/read the pins, lots of useful stuff there

[idle wing]

us graph be like:

[civic fern]

at least you have a bandwidth graph :D

i've been at 0 bits of throughput for 3 hours

[jovial fiber]

the process for bandwidth sharing don't want to start ;_;

[civic fern]

check the benchmarking logs, it might have to do something with that

[jovial fiber]

yeah

i have 23mbps download and 11 mbps uploa

[civic fern]

do the logs say so?

[jovial fiber]

yes

[civic fern]

[jovial fiber]

do bandwidth sharing work on mobile network ?

[idle wing]

ig true

160 down 90 up

[civic fern]

i mean, i do have 100 down 20 up. and sgs-client is indeed running

but the logs show 0 bits throughput

so, nothing is actually happening :D

[jovial fiber]

rahhh

sadness

[civic fern]

guess it's too early for Italy

[jovial fiber]

if i go down in the street i have 400mbps down end 200mbps up
