world record connections
wait leon u mostly mine with bandwidth right
So ur saying
u don't always get bw sharing like containers ?
yes
yes
i'm you
your me
sending a ddos attack to your network as we speak
why bw last for 15m and stops and like after 4 hours restarts for 15m
i stink so much that it never comes to me
looks logic
Is anyone earning in the UK? Mines still not come back since salads network went down.
sgs-client is running though
pfffffff
my CPU container is earning me 0.12 per day
Hmmm, pain. When salads API goes down, it always takes soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long for it to come back and start earning π«
Finished the job
Finished abusing my school chr*mebook
Anyways stillw acting for sgs, still not using ho**ygain
got rejected by sgs
i'm sad i don't get other aws servers
that's strange
Why does ho**ygain
what's your internets speed ?
Ho**ygain bad
200ish/23 on a good day
ohh
(Librespeed)
Last reinstall I got sgs client in a day but this reinstall it dosent seem to be to well, it has now been over half a month without sgs
Libresped is 200/23 on a good day
Ookla 300ish/25 on a good day
you're out of luck ;-;
Still not using ho**ygain tho
honipain is bad

i wonder if you can tell when my 2nd pc decided to update even when they were paused
after 5.00
no, actually at 8am :3

π
3070 hasent got a job in like 2 days now but it also runs my bw sharing
3080 always gets a job and thats what you can see earning atm
bw is very low atm
i made a song about xmrig
o
let's hear it
Its a giant text wall tho
then no post here
Then where
#chef-posting then
or take a screenshot of the text wall and post it as an image
I swear bandwidth be giving me joy then taking it away at the same time
be a miner, Infinite joy
j
just not when the strictest mod flexes 25$ a day in ur face
when librespeed use more bandwidth than sgs ;-;
omg we need to creat that
wow two new ip
netflix lol
the film size was 650kb
ultra hd resolution
another day, another report submitted to IPQS to reduce my fraud score
glasswire
i should report IPQS's IPs as being fraudulent
rip
you can't change your ip ?
who say more ?
my ISP can't, they just said I have to turn off my internet for 8+ hours and pray that it changes itself
imagine
lol i connect to the entire world
oof 8 hours ;-;
better then my 24 hr - 1 week off to get a chance
long live to francee
im sorry you are from france
i don't understood that
2 countries = the entire world
fance
this is closer to the entire world
its the speed test
Over the last month
lucky
thats also while dealing with outages and switching it to my other pc
4 KB spike
lol
back to some 1kb/s spikes
i wish htey would just use all of this
send a full screenshot
that was the full screenshot

deduct power costs from that 
ok
hsha
so that's 9 dollars a day in net earnings
then there's salads cut of 10%
$8.10 a day
wdym 10% cut?
and thats without a 3070 container
cant check atm
any guesses
without any gpu containers i can get about 0.08 per 15 minute bar at max, soo uhhh how ever much data that is a day
I'd say I get around 280gbs a day with mine
it's at 160 rn
so if you have 3x my upload
that should be around 600+
roughly
if you were having a job all day on bandwidth
Virgin media losing money on you

god dang it I wish I had my internet here sooner
better than mine at least
half bad
i dont consider that ass (imo) (i have ass speeds)
librespeed is ass
librespeed bad
you know your bandwidth is bad when librespeed uses up more bandwidth than sgs client
WHAT
symmetrical speds on cable
actually, higher upoad speeds
i want to switch to fiber so bad
DAYUJM
school wifi
DAMN
i wish bandwidth sharing worked on non residential networks
compared to my ass internet at home, 200ish/23
5/1
500/10=5/1
maxing it out idk
pay for crappy internet
yes its the same earnings, but lets say if you wanna download something it wouldent effect salad or your download speeds as much as you have that extra amount
salad uses download and upload, its limited by the lowest speed
is there some sort of fast internet limit
lets say i have symmetrical 500 gigabit lmao
to my knowledge no
noice
but at the end of the day it goes to a point where its gonna be hard to get a job for all of that internet
How
wdym how? at the end of the day there is only a certain amount of speed that customer needs
idk i only know the container screen
2 binary digits per second/1 binary digit per second on a good day
sgs client scared i got wifi 10 leaks
its technically the same, the customer only requests as much as they need, so if they only need 100mbps they will only use 100 mbps
even if you have 50gbps
so priority are for 100mbp users?
... its a example
:( sorry my dumbness cant comprehend u
just know this, customer has traffic, you have internet, it will only share how much traffic they have
at the limit of your internet
π
well yeah
it's either how much bandwidth the customer needs/wants, or the limits of Salad's gateways
@gleaming shell so mine would be 611/598?
that's the loaded latency
basically your latency can increase when doing something bandwidth heavy
So what exactly does salad use our IPs? If it's not footlocker or google scraping, when what are they using it for to earn money
Can be a sign of poor router performance
Content delivery and stuff
for like Netflix
and VPNs
we're like a relay
Atm bw sharing is used for vpns when they want to access streaming services that are confirmed safe by salad
aw so not content delivery
I think cdns would need a little bit more processing power
to my knowledge no as then that would take up storage
true
ohshit that would mean
imagine needing a 2tb storage allocation for bw sharing
but then we would also have to encode and compress that video stream which would need more processing power
sgs boutta start in a nanosecond
you about to owe salad some money π₯π₯
can someone send me his ndm.yaml file ?
you touch grass omg
frr
I don't pay my internet bills, the bills pay me
@gleaming shell
Wha
do you have your pc ?
yes
Assuming this?
yep
Ok one sec
I'll dm you it
oki
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
rip
wsl
sgs still sgsin
ganna rub it in a lil π
almost uploaded 5 gig in 5 mins lol
still climbing
makes me wonder what they streaming or w.e lol
I am streaming 16k Netflix
omg haj
why dosnt salad sell storage to thier customers would be a nice way again for us
(:
wonder if they maxed out my connection for a full day , how much it would amount to
storage is cheap, and you need to be reliable . its tough to bank off that being a 3rd party.
but raid storage isnt cheap
like if somone wants to store data very safe
or like encrypted on thausends of pcs

ive done it 200$ in 2 years. not really a money maker. i wont do it again unless its way better profitable.
mh still money
100 dollar per year
better then nothing
prob is the chefs need to stay online 24/7
and dont get paid for the bandwidth , so they can hog your connection all day just uploading shit and deleting it and redoing it lol
yeah , i had to do a 6 month evaluation before i got paid . to see my uptime.
Salad could make bandwidth pay for
Via the gateway
Would be a good for all
imaging rebooting, having a clients business data on ur hard drive , and your pc dont turn back on, or your server fries.
Thatβs bc all data is stored 2x or 4x and split over all chefs + encrypted
So if a data fragment get lost it could get restored
Node to node repair traffic
could work but would mean either really expensive for the customer or really low payouts for the chefs
most cloud storage providers don't charge you for uploading or downloading
so why would they pick salad if they were to get charged for bandwidth
I doubt storage sharing will ever happen for even slightly sensitive files. It'd have to be public or stuff that wouldn't matter if it were public.
I feel like it would work if it were made like a CDN
A good example I had in mind was with some kinda video streaming/hosting platform like Youtube
All* the videos are public so it doesn't need to be encrypted
what if Linus picked sgs as their CDN for their floatpane site
well
floatplane is run on a subscription model, so the videos on it aren't exactly public
I mean can't salad use something to encrypt them
I guess if they encrypted it well enough and maybe split the data between nodes, it'd be hard to reverse engineer and yoink the videos for yourselves
yes but there would be processing power relating issues
you need to encode the video before sending it off
Storj one of the biggest ?
AWS?
GC?
AWS don't charge for uploading
I mean
incoming traffic
only for outbound traffic
storj pays nothing
not necessarily..?
you can't just send raw uncompressed footage lol
not a lot though!
they encode it before storing it on their servers
yes
that's almost what I meant
that encoding would take time and power
so if most sgs nodes were running off low end laptops
it'd take ages to process those
unless Ltt already does the processing and just uploads the file
that's not very much compared to what salad gives you
Creator uploads video to floatplane -> floatplane's servers transcode to the appropriate resolution(s) and audio quality -> these file(s) are distributed to and stored on Salad's nodes (encrypted, fragmented, whatever) -> these files are then streamed to people consuming floatplane videos throughout the world
real
which is why I said this
I proved myself wrong didn't i
but salad gives you what not even a dollar for 1 tb of bw.
what
it does way above that
sgs consumed about 180gigs today
and I've made over 2 bucks
think depends on what cust pays.
I think the per gb prices are set
or depends on region
so far today I've done 196.9gbs and earned 2.13USD
only bw
misread
1.63 dollars*
around 1.2 cents per gigabyte
or I'm just wrong on the math
welp I'm trying it out tonight, I've killed the internet and I'll see if I get a new IP when I turn it back on tomorrow
good luck
pawns.app has 20 cents per gigabyte but still dosent make as much as salad does lol
still better than ho**ygain tho
why are you censoring #########
ho**ygain bad
why does Salad keep retaking the speed test again and again?? I'm not even restarting it
bro????????????????????????
what the fuck is this shit doing
why are you up at 3am
what's wrong with that?
unless youre nocturnal
(he's nocturnal)
oh okay
almost 4am
ya
close enough to 6-7am so you might as well pull an all nighter
I have never tried GPU containers ever
im currently surviving off cpu mining (0.01ish per day) and the extra-low paying container (0.12 per day)
skull emoji
still better than ho**ygain tho
everything is :P
Yeah
Even my nonexistent sgs is better than ho**ygain
Woah my phone keyboard tracking my typing
wtf hapend
intel killer something
that's only for intel killer network card
and another day of waiting for traffic
you run salad on yours?
my pc do be rebooting in the middle of the night
Uh does uk earning dropped ?
just a tiny bit yeah
Gpu container too ?
why does it turn off in the night
yep
I earned 0.025 now 0.015
your container dies in the night, not in the day when it would've been better at all in the day
With a 3060 ?
bandwidth sharing takes ndm tests more frequently than with container on
that was said in an article
let's deviate an ethernet cable to get better speed at speedtest
don't eterhnet cables just decrease ur ping
no because i have crapy wifi
ok
ireland?
update: same ip
i am so close to committing crimes against humanity
i support you
do 24 hs smh
mmmm

I'll see if I can easily connect my network back to my old ISP without messing up all the IPs
sgs is trash anyway 
testing
any tips on how to get bandwidth more easily ?
enable bw sharing, make sure sgs-client is running, leave it 24/7
;-;
Still better than ho**ygain tho
not really, just enable it, make it run, leave it running, its virgin media thats giving me the stress
real
it shouldn't matter
why this π
Bc bad
yeah it's a normal thing I do
I just come here and say "ho**ygain bad"
Petition to ban ho**ygain
fup ?
what is fup
after that it gets throttled/you get charged extra?
thoughts on the internet thing that is crappier than cable
i dont remember what it was called
it started with a D
what
starlink ?
Digital subscriber line
yeah
is there something good to you x)
no
sgs downloading would be good
so bad
never reinstall salad
bad things will happen
also i might have to suffer another few months, it has now been over half a month without sgs
i reinstalled it 2 days ago
got sgs instantly
I TOLD YOU THIS LIKE THE DAY BEFORE YOU REINSTALLED
WHAT WAS IT
that sgs may not download
BRUHH I THOUGHT MY SALAD WAS BROKEN SO I HAD TO REINSTALL BUT TURNS OUT IT WAS NOT AND I LOST MY SGS CLIENT I HAVE NOT SEEN IT EVER SINCE
caps lock
your connection is just at the limit
moment
AHHHHHHHHH
sgs has weird requests scheme it start to give me hope help
you win more than me ;-;

well keep it running and eventually you will get more
;-;
till eventually your internet cant handle anymore
when i say little request that's 20kb one time every few minutes
(other than just the regulary ping of sgs)
what country are you in?
france
other then keep your bw sharing running without interruptions yeah nothing you can do
my internet is probably not fast enough so other peoples get the job ;-;
sadly
I'm up to about 100 gb( upload ) a day last 2 days . More then the usual 60-80 I get. Hit 1tb upload this month so far
;-;
Why the heck are some salad process still running, even after i shut the app down. Even when i terminate the running services in task manager. It keeps connecting to the gawd dam internet. WHY???? THAT IS NOT OK!!
are we talking about saladbowl here
when i shut you down. You should stay shut down and not be running anything
yes
dose something taking up like 200mb of ram really bother you that much
not sure why you're asking this in #1021501189977813002
also that
tbh i dont know the exact reasons, some mod will probably tell you just now
but i just know that it needs that service
btw, a lot of other apps have services like this, salad's one is just not really optimized and you can notice it more easily
No, but when i shut a program down. It should not keep doing things. Or is that crazy talk.....
crazy talk
you can disable the service
thats not the point
but you need to re enable it whenever you open salad
again, not the point
sigh
^^^ some apps just have services that need to run even in the background when a app is closed
a shut down program should not run anything
it sure would be nice if Salad could close those services when it's quit, but oh well, there's not much that we can do about it
it would also be nice if you could move over to a different channel ;)
it's not closed. I terminated it
example: i have a wacom tablet
i havent used it in 2 months
oh wow what do we have here
there are tons of other apps like these
its not the end of the world
honestly I consider that bloat / poor coding decisions
yes even when terminated, things like adobe, ea and other stuff have processes like this
especially adobe

yes it is. You shut a program down, you have no right to run anything.
also bloat and/or poor coding
please for the love of vegetables move to #community-support
you can disable it though, and thats pretty much shutting it down
if i shut down adobe i need to manually go to task manger and terminate those specific services as well
can salad calculate bandwidth now or what
i dont think so?

salad will never be able to calculate bw sharing earnings due to it not being like any other workload
aka they cant tell how much data you will get in a day
?
now it went to nothing
asking mods here, do we know what causes this? Is it a container issue? or is this the equivalent of being stuck at "calculating" ?
i see more and more people with this
could it be bandwidth related in any way? Perhaps they are testing predicting bandwidth earnings?
sgs client is clearly using data
what is this meant to mean? o.O
please use #community-support for support unrelated to bw sharing
from the 40kb scale, it looks like it isn't using much
That's what it used before
when I earnt around 80c per day from it
if i put mine to that low of a scale it glitches out glass wire
does 1.1.1 change anything about bandwidth sharing :3
You'll probably have to very soon
oh

since v1.1.0's auto updater is still broken
ill do it when it dies
set it to auto scale noob
I just do it now bc may get very good workloads

lol
skull
π
Man I even miss this heart monitor graph
This isn't related to bandwidth sharing, but
Salad v1.1.1 has just released 
This update brings some bug fixes, minor updates to background processes, and 'two new workflows to help chefs stay up to date with the latest version of Salad'.
v1.1.0's auto updater seems to be broken, so you will have to manually update Salad to v1.1.1 here; https://salad.com/download

Thnx
well that was easy
I'm now gonna leave it turned off for 3 days
watch it still not work
knowing my luck it'll give me the exact same IP
and since I have no other options left, I'll probably try it for 10 days
if it still doesn't give me a new IP after that, I'm gonna just give up hope
or another ip but this time in the usa 
it just has to be a supported country honestly
true
updated. whew. sgs came back. Was a bit worried after a reboot.
what gateway?
lemme check
did you install the new version
yeah got it less than 30 minutes
in*
bug fixes real
not even god can fix your ass
damn I still got my job
π€

daffodil
pro tip: turn off your internet
it would be funny if my laptop crashed or salad broke causing me to have to reinstall
are you earning
yeah
wow you finnaly got saved
AND ON A FRIDAY TOO

real
AFTER SCHOOL
now hope your internet stays running
ddoses
11.16pm!
wouldn't matter, I have enough net prob for a few clients. so theres wont matter
6 hours ahead
You die
noo my bw sharing

idk if its sgs or gminer but im not gonna look through in case i kill something
are gpu containers back
mine isnt
Some people get them
it went 2 weeks st8 though LOL
why does sgs rose gateway show the flag of Denmark in glasswire
it would be funny if sgs client worked on my mobile data
(if it were to work, it will only work for like a day or so bc yes i do have unlimited data but it throttles at 50gb usage)
yes st8 no dips
str8
get the unlim data plan
wouldnt matter, 5g has alot of packetloss
I won't have bw sharing skmehwre between 20th April and 10th may
wait
what if i wake up
have fun earning UK chefs
i might be asleep
i suppose an upside of Salad updates is that it knocks ALL of their nodes offline, so the fastest ones to notice and update Salad get the best jobs
WHNE IS BANDWIDTH COMING TO CANADA
refer to the pinned FAQs
exactly why i havent updated yet
getting job after job rn
that's not what he meant, buy alright
it kills any workloads that are currently running and spits out an error message
i guess if it hasn't killed yours yet and you've got good money coming in, that's fair
yeah im getting paid well
just hope that it doesn't try to auto update
most*
it didnβt kill my main pc
workload
i got lucky today with salad
rare occurrence
it seems like there are a few people that are immune / survive a bit longer than most
but those who it does affect, it kills all workloads currently running - is what i meant with that message
funny part - salad downloaded 2 plus gig , lol . so seems like it downloaded the update 2 but wouldnt install .
same here lol
and the only way to get that fix, is to update it....
it was just using data but didnβt install

probably downloaded but failed to install
yeah
dw it might actually work for the next update!

3080 container is back
find out in 6 months !
anyways I've just got sgs client running again on my old ISP so that's good enough for tonight
bw sharing is doing what ever it wants to do
how much per day?
5 dollars a day
nicee
it earns whatever it feels like earning
lol
oh speaking of stupid earnings, i just got a 12 cent a day CPU container job
It exists for you to pull your hair out watching it go down in usage
what the fuck is the point in a 12 cent per day container job
you making a loss on it
waiting for sgs to magically start working again now that I updated salad
eventually being able to stack them
Wait What
thats just mining then
oh yeah didnt notice.
and i very much doubt they'll realistically be stackable in a meaningful way
i dont think there is any gpu containers that are anything below like a dollar
everybody hates them now π
maybe like 70-80c
and then some idiot decided they should remove cpu mining
and didnt even think of a toggle
oh right i should be asleep
ozua does the UN in your name stand for united nations of ozua
no you shouldnt be sleeping but rather developing a salad alternative
U.N. Ozua was her
wat
I'll give you a hint, U.N. Owen
hehe i was too slow
i haveno idea who that is
same
on my laptop
typing on mobile is being painful again
and it's one of those packet stream workloads btw
i'm not risking my backup ISP's quality score to some scummy free credit leecher renting out 1vcpu 1gb containers
how the fuck do these guys even get access to SCE
there should be a an option to opt out of scummy workloads like that
money talks

i suppose i no longer need my dedicated CPU containers laptop
ive straight up just disabled hyperv on my main pc and only left BW on since thats the only meaningful earnings ive been getting (other than gpu mining but that gets fucking annoying)
ive also unplugged two laptops that I was using for cpu containers
i only have one pc thats actually being used for containers now
u dont need hyper V to use salad anymore. Just ssaying.
oh right i should turn it off until i need it again
im thinking about turning off my laptop that i use for cpu containers
well obviously but you are limited to bw and mining
no.
ohhhh you are talking about the full on hyper-v shit
well if you're only getting the 12c job then i would
what I mean by hyper-v is the virtual machine platform
I dont have hyper v , and get gpu containers. lol
its the same shit
you can earn more by looking under your sofa for coins
so true
i should stop talking about containers in the bandwidth sharing channel haha
anyways i should be on break already, seeya next week maybe
bw sharing got me back on spamhaus 
Bandwidth sharing hasn't done a single thing to my ip
same, bw hasnt done anyything to mine.
just a me issue
DAMN, my ip trust score has even gone down lmao
mine is also
but without bandwidth sharing
it might be that stupid ass packet stream workload
i dont even have the packetstream workload
ah yes as bw sharing defo means your sending out spam emails ||when your not as thats not on the confirmed list of workloads||
idk it happened when bw sharing was working again
what if bandwidth shraing sends spam emails under ur ip address
well it cant, as thats not a streaming service
ok
I think you forget the companies can only access allowed websites from salad, this is also in their contract with the company of what exact website they can access
wow the shit doesnt even tell me what happened that im on the list
last time my ip was on the list it did
uhhh is that what I think it is

get fucked
this isnt sgs client but woah
grandmas heart monitor
here is sgs
hes just upset that hes not making much rn
?
i thought sgs died but its still running in task manager so im fine
well letsbe honest your 20 mbps upload is barely enough to stream netflix. so i wouldnt expect much of any BW usage.
true
still something tho but true
i stream nexflix usually its 40mbps or so . thats 4k
HD is like 30ish .
i wouldnt expect much of anything with that.
nerfed=lower earnings
skill issue.
?????
i have 3 4k streams on netflix simultaneously
you download streams
you upload when you're the one streaming, like on twitch
well no shit. but if your a relay, you need to upload it. and if your upload is shit.
forget it, over your head.
my download is 650mbps down 40mbps up
?
Waaaaa
ipscore?
the fraud score
heh its a gpu con. earning nerf as i can c it in #show-off-your-earnings
-30 cents/day
(sry 4 the irrelevance)
thanks
thanks
is 30 mbs enough for bandwidth sharing ?
i get 0.3 cents per 15 mins
should i update salad new version ? does it affect our earning?
the new version is just bug fixes
ohh ok
you'd wanna update anyways
tell me
tell you what
whats the feture added in the new update
This update brings some bug fixes, minor updates to background processes, and 'two new flows to help chefs stay up to date with the latest version of Salad'.

That's all we know
ohh
I think ericka said something about it containing stuff necessary for 'something big' coming soon
any idea when bs comes in india?
no idea still
still going
@pulsar arrow do you have an idea of what you win per gb ?
We get xp from bandwidth now?
or I must be running a CPU container asw
ima check
nope
bw still doesn't give xp
the above SS and the one in #show-off-your-earnings has the same xp
diffrent for each region and client
but it should be about that
i mean not really, really depends on the region
if it's less than 1 cent a gb π
at the end of the day there is no way to tell#
it wont work on mobile data
i will try anyway
If sgs isn' running and doesn't for days. Would that mean that theres something wrong? Everything shows as green otherwise
no
but it means sgs isn't looking for jobs
if it's running it's looking for jobs
thats not what Nova just said
sgs running means it's looking for jobs they confirmed
so if it's not running. then it can't be searching for jobs. I turned one of my PCs on after it not running for a day or 2 and sgs came right up. My other two have been running for a day and no sgs
maybe i was unclear, i meant if sgs is running
right.
But what if it's not running. sgs should start up right away shouldn't it? If everythings running properly
if enough demand exists it'll start up sgs
this is why I hate restating my pc
restarting
or even closing salad
yeah it's a joke. OK theres a reward (Or a punishment, depending on how you see it π ) system for staying active. But restart your ig 1 time or restart the app 1 time and your screwed for hrs and hrs
24tb 
im not even close o that in the US
Bandwidth sharing + containers are broken
200 gig upload didnt even earn me a 1$ lol
was thinking that too
honestly, skill issue, both working for me
yes usually if it works for 1 , its not broken. lol
Did you just react to your own message
doesn't work for you =/= doesn't work for everyone
does it look like i did? i am not sure.
Yeah I know
But itβs infuriating that Vmemm is taking 3,000mb of ram
And not giving what it should
And salad just stopped
go bw!
finally the thingy works
skill issue
sgs only runs for the first time if its running a job
it likely keeps running after theres no job
You clearly have not read what i had said Nova A MOD here, had said.
whagt
when it's doing that, it's just phone home packets, meaning it's looking if theres a job. If sgs isn't running, then it's not looking for a job
which is what i've been talking about
we have the same graph
Yeah, it means sgs is looking for jobs. Thats what you wanna be seeing
just give it time. It can take a while o.O
but is a good sign
im earning from it tho
it's only bytes of data, it would take a long long time to even make $1 from it. Considering you get paid around $1 per 100GBs of data
i make zero from it cuz im from canada : (
theres no way you do 100GBs of data in a day from bytes of data
idk either
somalia bandwidth is just fire
never knew somalia existed until it was available to it
i dont have somalia bandwidth anymore
yeah
