Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[jovial fiber]

but indoor it's crapy

[civic fern]

wait what

i... think it should work?

can't confirm

[jovial fiber]

yeah apparently it work as some says

[jovial fiber]

what?

[civic fern]

nvm, didn't know you were talking about mobile lol

[jovial fiber]

ohh yeah x)

i don't have any router

[civic fern]

although yeah, it should work no problem, as long as your connection is good enough i believe

i would like to test out aswell but i have both download and upload at around 7mbps inside home

[jovial fiber]

oof

my upload sucks

shitty 5G

[civic fern]

at least you do have 5G :D

[jovial fiber]

basicly the same as 4G but with little bit more upload

2023-02-24 19:21:31.625 +01:00 [INF] Upload rate: 7.69 Mbps

raghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[civic fern]

trial and error

[jovial fiber]

although 69 is nice

i need to find the right spot in my apprtement

ther speedtest is fucking bad

on other speed test online i'm way better

[civic fern]

from my logs, inoticed the tester stopping sending data before actually being done

thus making me fail the minimum upload test

[jovial fiber]

bruh

I'M GONNA PASS

[silver cedar]

shit mobile data upload speeds in the US are usually a given

when you combine the fact that phones aren't as good as transmitting and that carriers don't dedicate as much spectrum to upload as download

[jovial fiber]

that's strange if i do a speedtest with a server in france (i live in france) i get around 50mbps down and 16 up
but with a server in frankfurt i get 30 down and <1 up

ahhhhhhh

i'm gonna die

[civic fern]

almost 6 hours and still no throughput...?

either there is literally no bandwidth request in italy atm, or there's something wrong with my system

[jovial fiber]

rip

[low helm]

Hi, i've been asked by many people trying out Salad about the bandwidth feature, and i do not have the answer to this question, so i'll post it here so i can finally answer them lol, Does the Mining feature also has to be enabled for the bandwidth feature to work ? (what i mean by that is this feature)

[pulsar arrow]

yes

and also you have to enable bandwith sharing in the performance tab

Enabling CPU might cause bandwith to stop working, I'm not entirely sure why or what causes it to do that

[upbeat shuttle]

You don't need to have your CPU/GPU enabled for Bandwidth Sharing. You just need Bandwidth Sharing to be enabled, and Salad be Running :)

[low helm]

Alright, thanks for your answer !

Also, about it, do i have to restart the app after enabling the feature?

[pulsar arrow]

no, just run salad

it'll start earning once it finds a job

[narrow tiger]

how do i know if my bandwidth thing is working

[kindred helm]

you read the pins

[jovial fiber]

what if i have read the pins and it's not working?

[civic fern]

but we're able to run either CPU/GPU container with bandwidth sharing right?

[upbeat shuttle]

cpu, theoretically, yes
gpu, yes

[civic fern]

i see

thanks ozua

still waiting for any kind of data transfer :c

[pseudo fog]

just dont cpu mine while bw sharing

Unless u set it low cores

[upbeat shuttle]

CPU mining at all will cause Bandwidth Sharing to not start

[pseudo fog]

Why

[civic fern]

mmm

wait let me try something

but what about after sgs-client is running? can you turn cpu mining/container on once again?

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm

not sure

could try it and see

[civic fern]

i am keeping the sgs-client log updated in real time and just allowed the cpu to work again

yup, container is warming up

i wish there were more italian people here, i could ask them if BW works for them or not

[mighty fractal]

why does the upload speed go down so fast?

[civic fern]

it happens to me aswell, i've noticed that the system stops sending data before the test is over

[mighty fractal]

im italian

[civic fern]

thus, lowering the overall speed

[mighty fractal]

it is not working

[gleaming shell]

My upload sped starts at 40ish then goes down to 25

[civic fern]

download literally has no problems

[mighty fractal]

same

[stiff wedge]

because its librespeed

what do you expect from librespeed

[civic fern]

but upload is where it dips from 15~20mbps to 3mbps

[mighty fractal]

is it bad?

[stiff wedge]

yes

[mighty fractal]

and for that our italians cant get bandwith sharing

[stiff wedge]

we're forced to test our speed with it because no because

[civic fern]

i'm testing the librespeed website

THE WEBSITE ACTUALLY WORKS

BUT THE SOFTWARE ITSELF STOPS UPLOADING DATA

[gleaming shell]

Librespeed bad

[mighty fractal]

we need to contact salad

[civic fern]

that it runs

just doxxed myself

[mighty fractal]

the ip

[civic fern]

yup

[gleaming shell]

I didn't even see the ip lol

You delet too fast

[civic fern]

there's a lil difference in speeds

[mighty fractal]

same

[civic fern]

yeah exactly

[mighty fractal]

i think we need to contact support to make them know about the issue

[hollow vortex]

i run cpu w/ bw and dont seem to have any issues

[upbeat shuttle]

cpu mining or containers

[hollow vortex]

containers w/ gpu/cpu enabled

[civic fern]

yup

i did contact salad support

now we play the waiting game

[silver cedar]

because librespeed is garbage

[vagrant dirge]

Yeah

[hollow vortex]

i been waiting since 1/27 for an answer from them.

[pulsar arrow]

they just sponsored packgod and prob got around 1k+ new chefs on

their support system is inevitable going to get busier

[upbeat shuttle]

yeahh

especially considering the kinda audience that they have..

[uncut bluff]

its prob filled with "how to get free nitro"

or "salad is a scam"

or.. worse

[pulsar arrow]

they have to bring in more people with compatible gpu hardware

[upbeat shuttle]

i feel kinda bad for them

[pulsar arrow]

GPU containers literally wiped off 40% or so people off the eligibility bracket

[upbeat shuttle]

but we've also ensured the hell that their audience is

[pulsar arrow]

true

my bandwith is back let's go

[safe loom]

don’t worry, mark said he’d forward my issue to the high ups, that was 3 weeks ago, he did mean that it would be a while for a response

[safe loom]

shame on jared and max for sponsoring the man ||joke his fans are just have behavioral problems||

[uncut bluff]

yes

[olive pebble]

Have some other people here low bandwidth sharing earnings?

like 0.0006$

[glossy torrent]

why is my upload higher than my download speed?

[glossy torrent]

depends if u hv job or not

[smoky mulch]

I'm not sure if anyone else had this issue but if you find that your speeds arn't what they should be, especially the upload. Check to see if you have some kind of LAN manager preinstalled that is messing with it. I noticed in the log my upload was only like 1 mbps when it should be gigabit both ways, download was, upload wasn't. Then I disabled the LAN manager in dragon center (for MSI motherboards) and both speeds were gigabit

[glossy torrent]

how to detect LAN manager?

[smoky mulch]

it would be part of your motherboard manager. I'm not sure if other mobos have the same issue, but dragon center definitely caused issues

[glossy torrent]

is LAN manager also in laptop or for pc only?

[smoky mulch]

could be, look in it's control software if it has it

[glossy torrent]

can I detect it in logs?

[olive pebble]

Is only Germany in the Beta?

[glossy torrent]

ye

[olive pebble]

Ok

[safe loom]

mines just the server

librespeed is just broken

[wheat bronze]

Updates about Asia(India)??Wating for so long,just running containers.
Contaires made $0.74 but now only $0.54 :<

[frigid reef]

keep waiting

[zealous hull]

Hi can I get bandwith if I'm in india

[frigid reef]

no, wait for it to be available and no we dont know when it will be

[wheat bronze]

[zealous hull]

ok

[wheat bronze]

Bro come in #हिंदी-hindi

@frigid reef Bro when bandwidth will come do we have to update salad or what??

[frigid reef]

no

[wheat bronze]

kk

[narrow tiger]

lmfao

[upbeat shuttle]

Well I know that Germany is still in beta; a 'test net'
I'm not sure if France and Italy started out in beta or as normal

[frigid reef]

straight to normal, no beta

also a test net aka when getting customers they can quickly play around with it there

[shrewd terrace]

Hello,

Is 200ms latency good for bandwidth sharing?

[upbeat shuttle]

mmm I don't think so

Salad advertises a maximum of ~100ms to their customers

[shrewd terrace]

rip

[civic fern]

Update: even after my laptop managed to get sgs-client running, it has been almost... 15 hours? And still no sign of any data usage whatsoever

[frigid reef]

Sounds normal

[upbeat shuttle]

the same was with the UK when it was initially added

jobs were super rare, until they weren't

[civic fern]

oh

yeah, i kinda expected so

weird this is, that only the laptop managed to pass the minimum benchmark test

[upbeat shuttle]

it took like a couple weeks I think, but it should be faster now that they have some experience

[civic fern]

but not my main pc

[shrewd terrace]

I got 90ms in the ndm logs
But the sgs still not starting so no earnings for bandwidth
I tryed everything in the Troubleshooting message, but seems like didn't helped a lot
I have already the minimum requirements

[unique cedar]

can you use bandwidth feature with 2 computers on the same network?

if not, can i still use 2 computers same account but different network?

[stiff wedge]

No

[stiff wedge]

Yes

[olive pebble]

Is this maybe the reason why many germans earn 0.0006$

Or is it because no one need bandwidth from germany

[frigid reef]

yes, earnings will be low as its a test net aka a place where future customers can test out how the sgs performs/works before agreeing on stuff

[unique cedar]

thanks

[olive pebble]

Thanks, now i can tell the germans

:)

[sinful lark]

bruh bandwith sharing kicked in fr

[zealous hull]

How much did u earn after bandwith?

[sinful lark]

i just got it recently

but i've been earning like way more

so its actually pretty good

[zealous hull]

ooh

[low helm]

Seems that... at windows startup you do not earn anything from bandwidth sharing, i will try to turn it off and back on to see if it fixes anything

[pulsar arrow]

turning it off and back on puts you at the end of the queue again

so keep waiting

• reduces your reliability

hence lower jobs

[low helm]

Well it seemed like turning in off and on again made the service running, it wasn't appearing in my task manager before that

[mighty fractal]

i cant even get sgs running

[low helm]

And i started to get something from bandwidth sharing !

So on my side i have to disable and enable the feature again just to get sgs-client running and earn anything from bandwidth sharing

[still tendon]

no, you wait until you get a job to earn anything from bandwidth sharing

[low helm]

That's the thing, i've waited 2+ hours, haven't earned a single penny, then earned something directly and made sgs running just by disabling it.

[civic fern]

which country?

[vagrant dirge]

In Australia you get paid static bandwidth earnings if you don’t get a job (around 0.009 per 15 min)

[low helm]

France

[subtle condor]

@zealous patio damn 😭

oh damn, I haven't tried yet but I'm pretty sure I won't

I have an alright pc

It's because I'm in the UK, where the most demand for traffic is

I didn't get 9?

what

some people do with gigabit connections

which I don't have, but I wish I did tbh because it'd be so cool for bandwidth sharing ngl

[frigid reef]

i have gotten 9 in the past

[subtle condor]

lmao hia Nova

[frigid reef]

now my fraud score is stopping me from getting my bw jobs

[subtle condor]

it's defo more than it costs to have the pc running

[subtle condor]

wait what

me who has 24 TB

[subtle condor]

nooooo

what's your fraud score

[frigid reef]

||the small bars is just containers||

[frigid reef]

89

[civic fern]

oh, you actually got bandwidth jobs?

[subtle condor]

what the fuck

[civic fern]

😳

[subtle condor]

how though

[frigid reef]

sgs

[subtle condor]

wdym

[frigid reef]

how sus your ip is

[frigid reef]

its been marked down as a proxy/vpn

[civic fern]

nova sus

[frigid reef]

due to all the traffic

[frigid reef]

took a while though

[subtle condor]

how has that not happened to me....?

[frigid reef]

yeah you have a silly dynamic ip though

dont you?

https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-ip-lookup-proxy-vpn-test

[subtle condor]

oh wait

[frigid reef]

yeah my isp links the ip to the routers mac address

[subtle condor]

what's your isp

[frigid reef]

virgin media

[subtle condor]

same

[frigid reef]

welp guess you in the same boat

[subtle condor]

Their support sucks and there used to be lots of outages but it's fine now

[frigid reef]

never really had outages

but i need to phone up to see if its possible to get a ip change

[subtle condor]

you need to phone them for that? 😭

[frigid reef]

idk, but online people say that virgin media links your ip to your routers mac address

and you can buy a new router and use that but eh thats a pain

but i wanna try my luck in the next couple of days if i can phone up and get it changed

[subtle condor]

all Ima say is good luck with their support :3

at least you weren't using honeygain I guess

[frigid reef]

oh i did on my old internet plan

[subtle condor]

oh...

[frigid reef]

my god i got put on so many blacklists

[subtle condor]

it gets your IP fraud score higher, because it submits sus traffic

[frigid reef]

i had to appeal on like 30 different websites

[subtle condor]

jesus

[frigid reef]

for salad its really really rare

honeygain lets alot of sus traffic through your network

@subtle condor

[subtle condor]

sorri

[frigid reef]

no bypass filter

bad hugo

[subtle condor]

why is that a filter anyway?

[frigid reef]

wdym?

its nsfw

[subtle condor]

oh true, but it didn't used to be I swear...

oh well whatever

but yea Honeygain is bad

so Salad's partners gets "trusted" ips I guess

[frigid reef]

well if your fraud score is high websites might block you meaning possible websites that salad's customers want to go to wont be possible on your ip

[frigid reef]

https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-ip-lookup-proxy-vpn-test just put in your ip here

its not hard

...

you legit type your ip then press enter

https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-ip-lookup-proxy-vpn-test

https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-ip-lookup-proxy-vpn-test

https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-ip-lookup-proxy-vpn-test

^^^^^^^^^^^^ on the website

right there

in front of you

yes

your not on the right part

if you look at the link i sent

its the part you need to be on

....

[low helm]

yeah

[frigid reef]

my god...

not really

most likely got lucky with the traffic

2gb isnt alot

germany is a test net

aka its where salad runs test/ lets their customers run tests to check out salad

so no real jobs

when your traffic is used for a test you will be paid

[jovial fiber]

does someone know accurately the minimum required speed in up and down ?

[still tendon]

10mbs on up and down I think

[low helm]

approx 13 is ideal

[jovial fiber]

yeah in the minimum they say 10-15 but i'm in between so i was wondering

[jovial fiber]

oof

i'm gonna die 13 pfff

[unique cedar]

whys it been like this for many hours? i tried restarting and rebooting pc.

im using bandwidth only

[jovial fiber]

in fact they use libretest to do speedtest

and libretest is shitty

*librespeed

[unique cedar]

any solution?

[jovial fiber]

https://librespeed.org/

you can test here

[unique cedar]

ok

[jovial fiber]

go in the salad log /ndm/the last file

to see the server that salad use to test

[unique cedar]

ok

[unique cedar]

is it good enough right?

[jovial fiber]

yeah

else you can see speed in the log file where you found the server

[unique cedar]

these are the last uploadings

but sometimes it peaked even 60 mbps

idk why it stopped

[jovial fiber]

you see upload rate, this need to be more than 13

and you have also download rate

their speedtest is broken bruh

[unique cedar]

oh

wellll

[jovial fiber]

i suppose so

because ;-;

why 1.34mbps

[unique cedar]

so no solutions to fix it

[jovial fiber]

have a connection so good than even if it's shitty you have 13mbps upload

;-;

i guess

[unique cedar]

maybe reinstalling salad would help? idk

[lone solstice]

No, try something else

Go in task manager, find the Salad bowl service

[jovial fiber]

if have already reinstalled salad 4 times

[lone solstice]

Close Salad

(the app)

[jovial fiber]

i already restarted salad a lot of times

[lone solstice]

Then restart the Salad.Bowl.service in task manager

[jovial fiber]

but the speedtest salad does is wrong

[lone solstice]

Please read what I'm typing

[jovial fiber]

ok ok

[lone solstice]

This will re-run the speedtest and should give better results

[unique cedar]

which one?

[lone solstice]

None of these, this one

[safe loom]

hi angar

[lone solstice]

Hello

[jovial fiber]

we kill it ?

[safe loom]

its a major bug

[lone solstice]

Yup

[safe loom]

support is aware of it

[unique cedar]

how do i restart salad bowl in task manager

[lone solstice]

Same as the steps I've just described:

• Go in Task Manager
• Find Salad.Bowl.Service
• Kill it

[unique cedar]

oh ok

[lone solstice]

The service will restart by itself

[safe loom]

automod caught me cause i missed the s in restart lol

[jovial fiber]

but

i've already done that in the past

i know my upload is at the limit

[safe loom]

salad recommends doing it if you're having problems with bandwidth sharing. each time salad bowl starts it runs a test

[jovial fiber]

but the speed given in download are wrong

[lone solstice]

Doing this reruns the speedtest, doesn't mean it will give you the speeds that enable bandwidth sharing if it fails.

But for me for example, left image is when my PC boots normally and the speedtest runs
And the right image is when the salad bowl service is restarted

Which is still way under my theoretical 700 mbps speeds

[jovial fiber]

wtf

[lone solstice]

But at least fixes it

[jovial fiber]

sad

i have 12mbps upload on speedtest.net with luck

oh

[lone solstice]

Yeah, that might not cut it with the speedtest being as crap as it is

[jovial fiber]

i get 11mbps upload in salad

[safe loom]

librespeed does me dirty too much

[jovial fiber]

but i guess i need more ;-;

[lone solstice]

It does innit

[safe loom]

every server with librespeed except for virginia reads the correct speeds

[lone solstice]

Try to leave it running, with 11 mbps, if you fill the other requirements (clean residential ip), then it might work

[lone solstice]

Well, not France it doesn't

I'm 620 mbps under

[safe loom]

i had a test with just under 10mbps and ive had it running for over a week now

[jovial fiber]

agree

[safe loom]

they should just use fast speedtest

[jovial fiber]

anyway thanks guys

[unique cedar]

maybe its because of auto start why it wasnt working

i had it set to 10 mins

[lone solstice]

Perhaps, but I'd guess there's a reason why they decided to use this

[safe loom]

autostart doesnt affect bandwidth sharing except for starting salad after you go afk

[unique cedar]

oh ok

[safe loom]

better be good

[frigid reef]

most likely legal reasons

[safe loom]

well i understand that for oakla because of their licensing

but i feel like they couldve made their own speedtest and it would eprform better

[jovial fiber]

they could take two chef and run speedtest between them

uh no that don't work

[safe loom]

well that wouldn't work

one user will have slower speeds than the other

so it would just cap out

speedtest servers are usually 2.5/2.5gbps or 10/10gbps

[jovial fiber]

yeah yeah i just realized that

i hope this sgs client will be downloaded ;-;

does someone know where the sgs-client exe is located ?

[pseudo fog]

programdata/salad/workloads/bandwidth-sgs-CountryHere-0.1.8

[jovial fiber]

oh thanks, sadly i don't have the folder bandwidth ;-;

[unique cedar]

my bandwidth is still stuck

[jovial fiber]

rip me too

[upbeat shuttle]

HEHE

[frigid reef]

yeah 85+ means they suggest websites just block you

75+ is highly likely vpn/proxy traffic

uhh idk any else

[upbeat shuttle]

I think mine was like 71 before

some websites made me do a simple lil captcha and i was on my way

[low helm]

app name ?

[civic fern]

i've tried to do that multiple times aswell, but to no avail

[upbeat shuttle]

glasswire

though I think with one of their recent updates, so many things became paywalled

like seeing beyond 24h network activity

they also paywalled dark mode

@chilly peak what was that glasswire alternative that you mentioned before?

[low helm]

time to get a keygen

[chilly peak]

portmaster

[civic fern]

wth-

[chilly peak]

make sure to disable some of the defaults like "force block incoming connections"

[subtle condor]

LOL

[chilly peak]

see this is why glasswire L

[subtle condor]

I pay for it with salad so it's okay :D

[chilly peak]

foss >>

[subtle condor]

Glasswire is privacy friendly though

[low helm]

portmaster seems better overall

[subtle condor]

o

[frigid reef]

new ip, new internet or just got put back down?

[subtle condor]

Portmaster is actually quite cool ngl, it has a lot more to it

[upbeat shuttle]

it looks like I got a new IP at some point during the 10ish times my internet died

[frigid reef]

💀

i hate vm :(

people have the same ip for years but they still call it dynamic 💀

and there is no way to force it

[upbeat shuttle]

if it's tied to the router.. then get a new router

[frigid reef]

alot of people say its tied to the mac address of the router

some people also say that you need to just have your router off for a very long time aka 1 - 7 days at a time

[unique cedar]

guys when i restart salad bowl it earns for like 1 minute then it stops

[pulsar arrow]

worth it if it fixes salad

[frigid reef]

well im not the only person in this house soo its not really an option

[safe loom]

so wouldn’t it give you a new one if you setup a new router?

[frigid reef]

it would, but then it would link a ip address to that router meaning every time this happens i would need to buy a new one, unless there is a way to get a new mac address what i dont think their is

[safe loom]

you hate to see it

what if you installed openwrt on a router and spoofed the mac address?

though that would make it complicated

[frigid reef]

indeed

[safe loom]

boycott vm

[frigid reef]

well when they increase the price what they are doing very soon it does give a legal thing to get out of the contract but my family dont want to go through the pain of setting shit up again

[jovial fiber]

hmm

i have a problem

[frigid reef]

nice same

[jovial fiber]

let me finish ;-;

[frigid reef]

or just start with the problem :D

[jovial fiber]

nah ;-;

i restarted salad, i get correct speeds in the speedtest but the folder containing the sgs-client thing doesn't show up

[civic fern]

huh

[jovial fiber]

yeah

[pulsar arrow]

wait a bit, it'll either download it or you can reinstall salad

[upbeat shuttle]

what country?

[pulsar arrow]

it won't download until it determines your bandwith is needed

[upbeat shuttle]

^^ yeah that too

[jovial fiber]

france

[pulsar arrow]

earnings on max :D

[pulsar arrow]

could be because it's new, demand is just starting to rise

just wait a few hours

that's what I'd usually do before jumping to reinstalling it

[warm patio]

murica

[upbeat shuttle]

^^ yeah it could take a couple days, up to maybe some weeks for demand to finally pick up after a country has been added

[jovial fiber]

oh i see

[jovial fiber]

i'm too impatient

[warm patio]

me too 😭

[jovial fiber]

btw guys do you have an approximation of $/GB ?

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm

note that this was over a month ago, and I am in the UK, which seems to have better pay per GB, and more demand overall

[pulsar arrow]

more bandwith users on salad = less pay per gb

unless it's not dynamic and is set

I think

[upbeat shuttle]

we'll never really know

[pulsar arrow]

I'll ask on next state of salad with Bob

or the next one

[unique cedar]

why are my earnings stopped

when i restart salad bowl it earns for a minute then it stops

[kindred helm]

i stopped them for you

[frigid reef]

Well for bandwidth you earn when you have jobs so you just gotta wait

[unique cedar]

ive been waiting more than 2 hours

same thing

[jovial fiber]

0.0145/GB ;-;

[frigid reef]

ok wait longer

People can go days before earning

[unique cedar]

is it broken or something

[frigid reef]

In usa months

[frigid reef]

No this is just how it is

[unique cedar]

ive been earning a lot yesterday

today quite nothing

[frigid reef]

Ok you had jobs yesterday, and today you had none, this is just how it can be

[jovial fiber]

ok i think i'm gonna stop using bandwidth sharing as i have only 200GB per month it's not worth it

[frigid reef]

Yeah unless your on unlimited then don’t share bandwidth

[subtle condor]

200gb per month wtf

[jovial fiber]

i don't have a router only my phone it's cheaper

[subtle condor]

interesting

[jovial fiber]

only 20€/month

[warm patio]

my sgs client is literally non existent

i cant find it in task manager

[humble sapphire]

I get fast ndm speed log but librespeed doesn’t turn on how do I fix this?

[jovial fiber]

wym by fast ?

[humble sapphire]

250 download 50 upload

[jovial fiber]

oh ok

just wait so

[sage surge]

How do I enable bandwidth sharing?

[pseudo fog]

[sage surge]

There is no option

[pseudo fog]

Then no bw sharing for you

[sage surge]

[upbeat shuttle]

Then you're probably not in a supported country ()

[sage surge]

Damn

Where the list?

[pseudo fog]

On the

!pins

[sick helm]

How do I find the Pinned Messages?

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

[sage surge]

Plus why my pc showing degraded

[pseudo fog]

Cuz its degraded

[sage surge]

Damn.

[civic fern]

i mean, you're right, it is pretty new

i've been running bandwidth on my laptop for 1 day and still nothing

but doesn't mean i'm gonna lose hope

[pulsar arrow]

👍

[subtle condor]

my dad is paying £25 for 556 down and 36up

[shrewd terrace]

virgin media isnt that cheap

[subtle condor]

it is though

[shrewd terrace]

ive got virgin media and im paying like £30 for 350mbps

[subtle condor]

it'll go in a few months

hm

[shrewd terrace]

how tf do u get it so cheap

[subtle condor]

my dad bargained with them on the phone when the contract was about to end, he said he was going to change provider if they don't put the price down and they did

lol

[shrewd terrace]

well thats one wahy

[subtle condor]

it works almost every time, except once. Where they had an offer for Volt Gig1 for us but it came with extra fees for a phone sim plan and he asked them to remove the sim from the plan but they said no

💀

[shrewd terrace]

lmao

the sims are so overpriced

i pay £20/month for unlimited 5g data

[subtle condor]

it's speed capped, no?

[shrewd terrace]

nope

[subtle condor]

are you sure?

what provider is it?

[shrewd terrace]

smarty

[subtle condor]

ah

Nevermind

[shrewd terrace]

lmao

[subtle condor]

Vodafone offers the same plan but it's speed capped to 2 Mbps

had it once, never again

[naive lava]

2mbps damn

[kindred helm]

meanwhile i can get 100+gb of data for 5$ per month

[subtle condor]

I don't need lots of mobile data, because I go outside to socialize and not just scroll through social media lmao

[naive lava]

meanwhile me having 50mbps for around $7/month

[naive lava]

noice

[upbeat shuttle]

such a scam

[kindred helm]

for real

[pulsar arrow]

I get unlim 5g for 17 💀

but I don't need that much

[civic fern]

my "unlimited 5g" is 500GBs

[subtle condor]

I'm able to get sgs-client to start with an download of 5 on the ndm log lmfao

[civic fern]

wat

[silver cedar]

eheheheheh

[gleaming shell]

bruhh im here not having sgs client to download with 120/22

[unique cedar]

could someone explain what sgs client is

[upbeat shuttle]

it's what Salad uses to share your bandwidth, basically

[unique cedar]

i dont see it in my task manager

[upbeat shuttle]

moved around the pins a bit

should indicate the right order for what to go through a bit better

[final torrent]

someone help, my earnings are freezing overnight. Is there any change in settings I need to do?

[upbeat shuttle]

with Bandwidth Sharing?

?

[unique cedar]

why's my update rate ~4 even though speedtest shows this

its high at the start but then it goes down

download rate is 60 mbps

[final torrent]

yes

like i have environmental containers on as well

and cpu ofc

[unique cedar]

@final torrent from what i read here you shouldnt be using CPU together with bandwidth share

[upbeat shuttle]

CPU mining won't work.
CPU container workloads should work.

[final torrent]

So Im confused, what do I turn off?

[sinful lark]

I finally got bandwidth sharing its actually insane

[final torrent]

@unique cedar@upbeat shuttle these are my current settings, do I need to make any changes?

[upbeat shuttle]

That should be good

[final torrent]

then why is my earnings freezing overnight i dont get it

[final torrent]

maybe theres a change that needs to be done in my windows settings like sleep settings or no?

[upbeat shuttle]

That could be worth looking into

I've gotta brb, it might be worth checking out the pinned troubleshooting guide(s) in this post and in #container-beta if that doesn't fix it

[final torrent]

alright

this is my sleep settings

thanks anyways tho

[final torrent]

I might have found the problem, I'm unable to find 'sgs- client' under background processes in task manager

[modern panther]

means you dont have a job

you need to wait for a job

[final torrent]

huh

[modern panther]

yes

[final torrent]

elaborate

[modern panther]

you have to wait

for money

ok

[upbeat shuttle]

funky bandwidth sharing earnings

[sinful lark]

can i run bandwith sharing on 2 laptops

[upbeat shuttle]

If they're on different networks, sure

You can only run one device on Bandwidth Sharing per IP (per ISP) ((per household))

[final torrent]

@upbeat shuttle do you know how I could possibly fix this?

[pulsar arrow]

woo

[sinful lark]

h ow do you see t hat on glasswire

[pulsar arrow]

there's a usage tab on the top row

[pulsar arrow]

I think

[sinful lark]

ah alright

bandwith sharing is actually very good

[pulsar arrow]

true

[pulsar arrow]

I believe your in australia

[sinful lark]

i can only mke up 1 dollar a day tho because i am in au

[sinful lark]

yeah :(

[pulsar arrow]

yeah

wait until they get customers on

France and Italy got lucky and got customers right away

[sinful lark]

Yeah im pretty sure they have some customers

[pulsar arrow]

Aus might have less bw sharers, and u might earn a good buck or two when they get customers

[pulsar arrow]

oh, I thought it was still a rest net

test

[sinful lark]

yeah they have some but i can only earn up to a dollar max

which isnt too bad

[sinful lark]

wdym

[pulsar arrow]

that could indicate a test net

they're still awaiting customers and is now testing Australia's bandwith capabilities

[sinful lark]

Oh ok

[pulsar arrow]

and they pay you to be a test canditate

same happened with the UK in like the first few months of bw

[sinful lark]

this is how much i earned with it so far tho

not bad

[sinful lark]

ah aright hopefully they get more clients soon

[pulsar arrow]

if your earning 0.015 every 15 minutes you'll make 1.44 dollars every day

[sinful lark]

not even bad fr

[sinful lark]

im tryna save up to get sons of the forrest

[pulsar arrow]

ye

bandwidth on too

top

nicee

I'm directly cashing out to paypal

then to my bank account

[sinful lark]

ohhhhh okk

[final torrent]

How do you check that, also for me in task manager sgs- client ain't even there

[final torrent]

Same I'm Au too

[pulsar arrow]

glasswire

free app

[final torrent]

What about the task manager thing

[vagrant dirge]

Not true, I get 2.5$+ with bandwidth in Australia

[safe loom]

let’s take a break from bandwidth sharing for a second

[sinful lark]

huh how tf

is 6 cents in 50 good

[final torrent]

How?

My earnings have frozen again, please help!

[brittle nimbus]

where do i see the bandwith button? i installed the newest version

[uncut bluff]

in the performance tab

[brittle nimbus]

i dont see it

[uncut bluff]

are you in a supported country

(pins for list of the supported countries)

[brittle nimbus]

oh

if im in ireland does it count as uk for the bandwith?

[uncut bluff]

Don't think so

[brittle nimbus]

ok ty

do you think they will be adding more countries?

[pseudo fog]

They will

France and italy got added less than a week ago

2 days ago fr

[brittle nimbus]

oh damn alr

[civic fern]

Italy seems to be not working atm

[final torrent]

should this be enabled or disabled for more earning?

[true halo]

shouldn't matter.

[final torrent]

@true halohelp with this pls- #community-support message

[true halo]

i directed you here so you can ask others

[final torrent]

no one really replied when i asked earlier

[true halo]

and?

[final torrent]

i mean they said to check the sleep settings, but they all are set to never

[true halo]

Is your issue with bandwidth sharing?

[final torrent]

I'm unsure, the earnings just freeze overnight

thats the problem

[true halo]

then why are you in here? I meant to redirect the other guy

I redirected the other guy here so they can ask their quite simple (to someone who understands the bandwidth sharing system) question.

Your question is probably for #community-support or #official-support

So go there please, and don't ping me

[final torrent]

would u be able to help there or nope?

wow k

[true halo]

i might, i am not obligated to help

[final torrent]

ik

alr

[true halo]

so don't expect someone to help, just because they talked to someone else

[final torrent]

u kept on replying to my msg?

[unique cedar]

yuh

[civic fern]

And spoiler, it won't magically start working today

Since today's sunday

And no one works during sunday

[unique cedar]

are your upload rates extremely low aswell?

[civic fern]

On my main pc yes, for whatever reason my laptop is fine though

I've been running sgs-client on my laptop for 3 days at this point

And still 0 traffic detected

[jovial fiber]

rip

i support you

[pulsar arrow]

(unofficial and completely optional troubleshoot, from me) try reinstalling windows

on your computer that doesn't work

if you can

[civic fern]

yeah- no

sorry but i really can't at the moment

also, i did reinstall windows not a long while ago

like, last month

[safe loom]

that’s a last resort step

and it may not even work

[pulsar arrow]

why you apologizing to me ☠️

[pulsar arrow]

worked for me twice

[shrewd terrace]

Hi

How do I know if bandwidth sharing is running?

[pulsar arrow]

you'll see sgs client in your task manager

[shrewd terrace]

Im pretty sure only gpu and cpu is being used and containers

Lemme check

It’s not there

What should I do

[civic fern]

check the logs

it might be that your connection failed the benchmark test

[shrewd terrace]

Also is it possible to tell ur system to do gpu container workloads and when no jobs found do cpu?

And what should be in logs?

[civic fern]

i don't thing so

think**

[civic fern]

when you open the logs folder of salad, there should be another folder called "ndm"

that's the folder that keeps the connection benchmark logs

and check if both upload and download are at least over 10mbps after each section

[civic fern]

be sure to check the last output message of either download AND upload, not the in-betweens

[shrewd terrace]

Oof downloads 50mbps upload is like 4

[civic fern]

exactly

same here for my main pc, thus no sgs-client

[shrewd terrace]

I mean crawled down from 40

No I mean 60

[civic fern]

once again, same here lol

i've noticed that it just stops sending data during the benchmark

that's why it dips down that fast

[shrewd terrace]

Weird

Doesn’t windows limit data?

[civic fern]

yup, although my laptop passed the test no problem...

[civic fern]

i don't know

[shrewd terrace]

Im pretty sure it does and u gotta manually do that shit to unlimited it

It could be ur isp

I’ve seen isps limit speeds on some ports

[civic fern]

nono, as i said, my laptop passes the test no problem

but i wanted my main pc to do ti

it**

not my laptop

[shrewd terrace]

Mine limited my ms flight sim download and had to use 1.1.1.1 to get 50 mbps

Without 1.1.1.1 it was like 2mbps

[civic fern]

what-

[shrewd terrace]

1.1.1.1 is like a vpn

But you don’t chose where u are

And it’s free

And fast

[civic fern]

you mean DNS...?

[shrewd terrace]

Both lmao

It’s a vpn too

[civic fern]

[shrewd terrace]

1 tab open and chrome takes half a gig of ram

AUUUGHHH

wonder why my curve is like this

i wonder what i did to make it go like that

randomly up and down

[civic fern]

damn

[civic fern]

they need to track every single move of yours

[shrewd terrace]

anyways whats ur balance

i started like yesterday

so uhh\

0.54

WTF IS THIS

[modern panther]

among ass

[shrewd terrace]

i cant tell if i want

[unique cedar]

dang on my laptop it works fine

on pc upload speed is super slow

[still tendon]

amazing game

i bought it myself

among ass 2: butt warfare is also equally amazing of a game

[shrewd terrace]

ur joking right

[pulsar arrow]

it's salad's hired speedtest servers being naughty

or sponsors

[still tendon]

im not

mums

i have them both

no

you stab with a knife up their ass

[sinful lark]

Is there a way to increase my bandwidth earnings

[shrewd terrace]

no way u wasted bal on that

anyways what is ur bal?

[still tendon]

its honestly a good game

[shadow ivy]

it's only 30p

lol

[still tendon]

on my mums life if id have a steam deck id download that first thing before a trip

[shadow ivy]

it takes me like 4 hrs to get 30p so not bad

[shrewd terrace]

sucj bri

[still tendon]

"not bad"

30*6=180

$1.80 every 24 hours

i only get $0.60

[shadow ivy]

lol

[shrewd terrace]

how many days r u mining straight brodda

[shadow ivy]

i don't mine straight

i mine like 8 hours a day

[shrewd terrace]

i mined overnight so i could get enough for fun with ragdolls

and its uhhh

[shadow ivy]

cuz of autostart fucking up my overnight

[shrewd terrace]

sold out

[shrewd terrace]

ah mine works completely fine

[still tendon]

i just run it all the time

[shrewd terrace]

one downside is that i hear HCJVHVHVHVHVHVHHVSVJFJVKVJFVJFJVJVJFVJVFJ all the time while i try to sleep

[shadow ivy]

if i ran it all the time i would probs be able to get like $50 in a month

[shadow ivy]

msi afterburner

just turn down ur fans

[still tendon]

vmmemwsl only uses like 50%-60% cpu usage which doesnt really affect me

[shrewd terrace]

no

i turn up to the max

[still tendon]

thats how fires are started

[shrewd terrace]

true

[shadow ivy]

no mate,

listen

[shrewd terrace]

no but hardware slows itself down

[shadow ivy]

bro no

[shrewd terrace]

money is better than sleeping at night\

[shadow ivy]

lmao

[still tendon]

its fine for what i use it for

[shadow ivy]

only when u get like more then 90

temp

[still tendon]

tmnf runs on my potato laptop at 70fps normally, it's a sacrifice of 30fps for money

[shrewd terrace]

i open my window to make my room freezing cold

is among ass multiplayer?

[shadow ivy]

fan 81 = 49
fan 82 = 49
fan 83 = 49
fan 84 = 49
fan 85 = 60
fan 86 = 70
fan 87 = 80
fan 88 = 90
fan 90 = 100

[shrewd terrace]

i kinda wanna uhhh

pay

but also

not

[shadow ivy]

less temps doesn't mean better performance bruh

[still tendon]

only by steam remote play sadly

[shadow ivy]

if ur gpu is running at max, its running at max

[shrewd terrace]

AUUGHH

[shadow ivy]

my gpu runs 1545 and 2000 mhz

if its running at max at 84 degrees

if i change temps that wont do shit

it'll still run at 1545 and 2000 mhz

[still tendon]

steam remote play does work when it wants to

sometimes it doesnt

[shrewd terrace]

2000 to 1770 mhz for me

[still tendon]

local one-device multiplayer is a thing you cant take for granted nowadays

[shrewd terrace]

i use steam link when i wanna game and im not at home

true

[shadow ivy]

i know how to overclock my gpu and it stay the same temp

and my cpu

so

4.3ghz - 4.5ghz
1545mhz - 1641mhz
2000mhz - 2200mhz

and have it do no harm

[shrewd terrace]

how do i see my level

[still tendon]

my cpu i could overclock by quite a bit

[sinful lark]

Is there a way I can increase the amount of money I am earning from bandwidth sharing

[shrewd terrace]

and do i get bonus?

[still tendon]

bequiet! is just too good

[shadow ivy]

cuz of turbo

[shadow ivy]

no

[shrewd terrace]

no

[shadow ivy]

get better internet

lol

[shrewd terrace]

buy a gpu or something idk

[shadow ivy]

containers

[shrewd terrace]

yeah

gpu containers take long to get

[shadow ivy]

how can u tell when u got a container

and what is it

i've never understood

[shrewd terrace]

oh look at task manager

[still tendon]

vmmem

[shadow ivy]

??

[shrewd terrace]

vmmem should be taking like 8 gigs of ram

when u have one

[still tendon]

look in task manager for vmmem

[shadow ivy]

o

[shrewd terrace]

its different for every container

[shadow ivy]

so gpu = vmmem

?

[shrewd terrace]

biggest one i got was like 10 gigs

[still tendon]

i had vmmem taking 4 gigs of ram before i downloaded salad doing nothing

i had to go to cmd and manually shut down wsl

[shrewd terrace]

thats container virtual machine

[still tendon]

my kali linux wsl vm is cool but like

[shadow ivy]

ok

what is the bandwidth

container name

and cpu too

[shrewd terrace]

its same for both

[still tendon]

they dont tell you i dont think

[still tendon]

sgs-client

[shadow ivy]

so the more gigs

[shrewd terrace]

to see what container ur doing on gpu or cpu look at usage

[shadow ivy]

the better

?

[shrewd terrace]

no its just how big the program ur running is

its like

[shadow ivy]

and why does it make more money for whatever reason?

[shrewd terrace]

since companies are willing to pay thausands for a few gpus

thats why

[shadow ivy]

so what does the vmmem

[shrewd terrace]

and ur things just mine crypto while waiting for jobs

[shadow ivy]

do

[shrewd terrace]

so if the client wants to put malware into the container

it wont infect ur machine

since

vmmem is virtual machine

[shadow ivy]

yeah but

[shrewd terrace]

so computer in computer

[shadow ivy]

so basically

ur gpu

is working on a vm

where ppl can use

[shrewd terrace]

yeah

[shadow ivy]

ur gpu

for a vm

[shrewd terrace]

with permission of course

yeah

to run like

[shadow ivy]

cool

[shrewd terrace]

ai image generation

or like

rendering

[shadow ivy]

i wisht here was a way

to see

[shrewd terrace]

most companies keep it private

companies dont like when users see what they running

u could dig thru ur ram and try to find it

but that would prolly get u banned

i mean u dont even know if chat gpt could be running on your gpu rn

[shadow ivy]

im on my laptop rn

so no

cuz its a chromebook

[shrewd terrace]

god damn

chromebook is amazing

soo guud

[shadow ivy]

what

[shrewd terrace]

sarcasm

[shadow ivy]

it has a dual-core , bettre then urs

[shrewd terrace]

yes yes so good

[still tendon]

i actually ran salad on my chromebook once

you need to go into the linux vm inside of chromeos which you can enable in developer settings

[shadow ivy]

this is a schl chromebook

so i can'

t

[still tendon]

oh

sadge

i have some data i dont want to lose on my chromebook and i dont trust salad with it on a chromebook

it has no fans

[shadow ivy]

just use bandwidth on chromebook and leave it in school like hide it

lol

[upbeat shuttle]

guys.. remember what this channel is for

[still tendon]

oh yeah

sorry

i never get bandwidth sharing jobs

[shadow ivy]

ur on same internet probs

[still tendon]

this one time it took me 2 hours

and i didnt notice anything

might as well be running containers only

[kindred helm]

i forgo

[frigid reef]

Won’t even work lmao

[shadow ivy]

Why not

[still tendon]

bandwidth sharing is in 1.0 i think

you cant get 1.0 on linux

unless wine

[frigid reef]

First of all, salad is for windows only, 2nd of all schools have a business ip, salad needs a residential one to share bandwidth

[still tendon]

would salad work on linux with wine?

[frigid reef]

Try it and see, that’s all I can say

though it will be limited a lot

If it does work

[upbeat shuttle]

https://tryitands.ee/

[still tendon]

i dont have a linux machine

live boot

then get everything i just did go poof

[low helm]

I've been trying to make sgs-client run but the process never started at all compared to yesterday's attempt

[still tendon]

what if i ran salad in wsl

i have a kali thing with wine already installed on it

[low helm]

Does it run only if i'm no longer in the queue ?

[still tendon]

if you see it running but no network usage then i think it's in a queue for a job
