Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[safe loom]

salad interacts with workload defs weirdly

my fix is to create a new file

even if the file is deleted salad won’t generate a new one

not sure if that’s a bug or intended

[civic fern]

nnnope

not really

[safe loom]

you should probably open a ticket for that

[civic fern]

yeah... abusing passive gains is a thing but i've opened bw sharing for a single reason

yk... for bw sharing

[civic fern]

yeah, i've done it just now

[upbeat shuttle]

Anyone here on UK-2?

[lime sky]

me

[upbeat shuttle]

is it actually using your bandwidth?

[lime sky]

jk

get pranked

[upbeat shuttle]

[neon blade]

i have seen some logs

[lime sky]

wave to the camera

[neon blade]

i dont remember who it was

i will try to find it

[lime sky]

same

[upbeat shuttle]

WEW I JUST GOT BIDIRTHROUGHPUT

like 3 bytes

[upbeat shuttle]

@frigid reef what are you on?

[wary wren]

[frigid reef]

I’m on uk 3, it gets traffic unlike 2 but still only worth like 80 cents worth, uk 1 is the best

I need to spend more time on uk 3 though to be sure

but uk 2 I never earned anything really

[upbeat shuttle]

yikes

did you just restart chopping to hope for a different server?

[frigid reef]

Not yet but I’m going to soon

I give it a couple days to gain speed

Well 2 days

[upbeat shuttle]

fair

[frigid reef]

Anymore then 💀

[civic fern]

meanwhile IT-2 is broken :D

reported to salad, they promptly shut down my sgs-client

that's a joke, lads. but rly, sgs client is dead

[olive escarp]

yeah ive made nothing in ages

[jovial fiber]

why every country has 2 gateway ;-;

give french a second one lol

[frigid reef]

uk has 3

usa has more i think cant check anymore lost the info

[pulsar arrow]

IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I was gaming so I know my internet didn't go down or anything wtf salad

[gleaming shell]

bru

[pulsar arrow]

poof earnings

hey atleast I have to enough to cash out 5 bucks

[gleaming shell]

rip

[hollow vortex]

us got 4

[calm viper]

Are we witnessing the live nerfing of UK users

[upbeat shuttle]

fr

I'm now earning like half of what I used to a couple months ago

for the same bandwidth

[hollow vortex]

they tryin to get more clients by lowering prices

[foggy wind]

bro when is the bandwith gonna be world wide]

[modern panther]

never will

unless every country wants bandwidth for some reason

[foggy wind]

huh

fr?

i want bandwidth

[naive lava]

• When will Bandwidth Sharing release to My country or Globally?

||Bandwidth Sharing is currently in a limited roll-out beta. (Refer to the pinned messages for currently supported countries).
In the near future, Salad is hoping to expand Bandwidth Sharing to other countries such as India, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Israel, Spain, Somalia, etc.

These countries, and potentially others, have high potential to be added as they either have a high demand for bandwidth traffic, have high average residential internet speeds, or have low average latencies.

Salad unfortunately cannot easily just roll out support to any country. Their SGS (Bandwidth Sharing) customers must first deem it as being worthy to bring support to new countries - The customers are in control. All we can do is wait.

Salad doesn't know when, or what countries will be added next, so we just have to hope and wait for your country to be supported soon. The countries I mentioned above are the most probable to be added soon.||

that's why u read the pins

[modern panther]

pins my ass

im going to spam my dumb question in every channel ever

[naive lava]

uhmm

[civic fern]

the second one, at least here, is broken

it doesn't do anything

[civic fern]

i guess they were done with bandwidth usage?

[pulsar arrow]

this will affect the british economy drastically

[pulsar arrow]

nah it means theres no longer a connection to the gateway

salad keeps their nodes connected to the gateway regardless of whether they have a job or not

[civic fern]

fr fr

[civic fern]

wait, you were disconnected from the nodes?

[pulsar arrow]

yes

for a moment

and i lost my job

[civic fern]

oh

[little saffron]

or 3

[calm viper]

Yes salad users represent a large portion of the UK population

Clearly

[pulsar arrow]

ok its back

i wonder if itll stay for 3 days like before

[little saffron]

uk traffic died huh

[calm viper]

literally

[pulsar arrow]

it's not

[calm viper]

it is

:despo

:dppe

[gleaming shell]

Emoji fail

[little saffron]

for me on 6 from 12 devices completly dead

[shadow ivy]

lombardy milan italy

[shadow ivy]

it literally stays for like an hour 4 me

[pulsar arrow]

mines doing ok

[shrewd terrace]

Bro..

Your last 30 days is more than my lifetime

Cuz salad is making me

0.0

[civic fern]

he has good speeds + UK bandwidth sharing

good combination for a... pretty good-looking graph

[civic fern]

you have higher lifetime balance than me, with a third of the lifetime xp

[pulsar arrow]

I'd have more XP, but for a while there was an issue where bandwidth sharing wouldn't give you xp

for like a month or so

or maybe two

[civic fern]

oh right

don't you run cpu container at least?

it's not like it uses lots of resources

[pulsar arrow]

nah it won't break even for me when factoring in power costs here in the uk

[civic fern]

No i mean like-

Since you use your device for bandwidth, adding containers isn't much of an additional cost

[pulsar arrow]

like I said lol, its really not worth it for me, my laptop draws about 15 watts when sgs is on max, I like this number and costs me maybe under 10 quid each month to run it

CPU containers are disgustingly rare

and I also do use my laptop every now and then for work

I know it won't CPU mine or anything

conclusion: I just wrote a bunch of shit that made no real points and I just don't want to enable CPU containers

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[civic fern]

I see

I was just curious lol

[civic fern]

At least you realized that, chad

[upbeat shuttle]

it's kinda the other way around

[civic fern]

Wym o.o

[upbeat shuttle]

enabling bandwidth sharing incurs a negligible increase in running costs

[civic fern]

True but... Both my pc and/or laptop had basically next to no usage when running cpu containers

Only around a GB or ram used, at most

[upbeat shuttle]

ah you do make a point, i forgor that CPU containers atm use basically no resources

[civic fern]

Also when i had the gpu container, it only used around 4GBs of VRAM and 17GBs of ram

[upbeat shuttle]

man it'd be so cool to see jobs that actually used CPU and RAM, and actually paid more than 12-24c a day

[civic fern]

But no core usage whatsoever

[upbeat shuttle]

what gpu?

[civic fern]

That's a fair point

[civic fern]

3060

[upbeat shuttle]

aha that job

yeah i think they configured the job wrong

or they just aboosed the free $5 in credits

[civic fern]

huh

I mean, i did gain 2.60$ a day (2$ for gpu container i believe)

Those 60 cents per day were passive bw sharing

[civic fern]

Love how you refer to it as "that job"

[upbeat shuttle]

the customer/job(s) that jared hyped up that no longer exists

died after 2 or 3 days

anyways there's supposed to be a big update next state of salad

[civic fern]

:D

[little saffron]

When

[upbeat shuttle]

Friday

[pulsar arrow]

47tb

[tardy swan]

57yb

[neon blade]

:D

[pulsar arrow]

"salad is now bankrupt"

"we will be appointing Jared as new CEO"

[tardy swan]

because of me

[civic fern]

500gb

[neon blade]

340gb

[tardy swan]

noooo

not 500 great britains

[civic fern]

[shrewd terrace]

Why have my salad bw earning dropped too much

[pulsar arrow]

ctrl +c, ctrl + v

[shrewd terrace]

No I got a job but like I used to earn $1+ but now it’s just 0.4-0.5 in last 24 hours

[neon blade]

customers dont demand a lot of internet and hence low earnings

[shrewd terrace]

[pulsar arrow]

the pay per gb might have dropped, so you might be making less for the same bandwidth you share

[shrewd terrace]

Yea probably

[neon blade]

or maybe got a low bandwidth job ^-^

because people in india still get more than 1 dollar a day

[shrewd terrace]

Well idk it dropped suddenly and there are random spikes like once a few hours

[frigid reef]

or just sharing less

[shrewd terrace]

Yea same went for me but since yesterday the earnings dropped

[shrewd terrace]

[neon blade]

^

[neon blade]

@green lantern what was your ping when you got sgs?

[shadow ivy]

why isnt my bandwidth working?

[hollow vortex]

Have you read the pins? Does your speeds pass the test?

[narrow tiger]

line chef alert

🚨

[shadow scaffold]

pins take too long to read + why is your bio promoting a scam?

[flint galleon]

UAE Dosent work ;-;

[woven sage]

yo is it normal for my sgs client to be dipping randomly

[pulsar arrow]

what do u mean dipping?

[pulsar arrow]

like go away?

[woven sage]

yeah

was playing a gaming

alt tabbed out

and sgs gone

[pulsar arrow]

probably used too much CPU resources and it freaked out and commit die

[civic fern]

i do notice that if you put too much stress on the cpu, a gpu container might die

dunno about sgs tho

[pulsar arrow]

sgs can go freaky aswell

even though it doesn't use much resources

[woven sage]

might be that then

[pulsar arrow]

has happened to me while playing youtube 4k and genshin at the same time

fortunately it was in the beta tests so I got the jobs back really quick

[woven sage]

shld i restaart

or wld it come back by itself

[pulsar arrow]

Uh

try waiting for an hour

or even 30mins

then restart

[woven sage]

aight

[peak terrace]

[south smelt]

do you need cpu to be enabled to make it work?

[gleaming shell]

Pain

[shadow ivy]

how i check

[pulsar arrow]

in your logs, look for the ndm folder

How To Find Your Salad Logs!

Here is an up to date guide on how to locate your Log files!
https://support.salad.com/article/180-how-to-find-your-salad-log-files

[shadow ivy]

it says upload 1200 download 2000 and then ping 542

[pulsar arrow]

that ping might just be ehr issue

100ms or lower is accepted

[upbeat shuttle]

well I didn't say that

I said that Salad advertises less than 100ms latency to their customers, so it's assumed that their cutoff is somewhere around there

[tardy swan]

Salad should advertise brain transplants

[pulsar arrow]

I thought sgs had errored out again but nope it just finished the job

[flint galleon]

i never got a bw job 😢

[green lantern]

48

[neon blade]

@weak river

[neon blade]

Do u have a screenshot of sgs client

[safe loom]

getting level 30 on mee6

[frosty brook]

nothing to show off

[civic fern]

i thought your transfers were way higher than mine

although, that 26MB transfered in 30 seconds is nuts

[safe loom]

my speedtest is 900ms they clearly have no problem with the ping

[glossy pasture]

lucky you, i keep getting low upload speed

[safe loom]

me too

that’s just librespeed

[tardy swan]

An older version of librespeed

[pulsar arrow]

sgs hasn't crashed yet but spikey

[tardy swan]

Lemon

[civic fern]

may i suggest you to use SnakeTail btw?

to have real-time log updates

[pulsar arrow]

alright I'll check it out

[civic fern]

👍

[opal galleon]

the ping isn't the issue, it's salad doing some stupid stuff

they're just thinking that this does not match with the ip but when it does on other servers it's not real

[safe loom]

no shit the ping isn’t an issue when the server is in the US

[opal galleon]

yea but even if I get less ping salad refuses to give me sgs

there's legit no spikes in my internet

it's so consistent

[safe loom]

i’m sure ping has nothing to do with it

speed and country is the most important

[opal galleon]

100/100, india

and India is almost on its way to full release

yet i can't get it

it's been like 2 months and salad support still haven't replied back

[dim wren]

idk how but i get sgs with 2mbps download

[civic fern]

[little saffron]

How that named

[frosty brook]

[frosty brook]

there is issue withcsome isps||(like jio,etc)||

so the only option left is to change your isp

[opal galleon]

yep

[civic fern]

Snaketail

[woven sage]

do isps really affect bw sharing?

[dim wren]

yes kinda

[woven sage]

what does kinda mean

[dim wren]

Jio

i think banned it

[hollow vortex]

ISP provide you a way to access the world web . Of course a ISP can ruin bw sharing , check there tos . They could have banned it.

[dim wren]

are u indian?

if not

Jio is an affordable isp

in india

[dim wren]

my isp is local doesnt have any tos

[frosty brook]

yes it could ruin your bw

[flint galleon]

lol

[pulsar arrow]

LETS GOO SGS ERRORED OUT AGAIN

FOR NO APPARENT REASON

And salad support won't respond

[hollow vortex]

Been there done that lol

[civic fern]

ggs

my discord was having a stroke and about to die

[safe loom]

i love this piece of art <3

[upbeat shuttle]

piece of aut

[safe loom]

has throughput but doesnt pay me

its not even stuck on calculating

it has calculated

[civic fern]

Typical sgs user

[safe loom]

calculated 3 cents

[naive lava]

rip bw sharing

[gleaming shell]

dead sgs

oh its dead

you said it dosent pay

[peak terrace]

bad

[gleaming shell]

nvm

[peak terrace]

me when open image in new tab to preserve it from deletion

[gleaming shell]

i guess you get early access to my earnings post textwall

[peak terrace]

i am in the uk by the way

[dim wren]

@frigid reef everyday at a certain time my ip changes so i get logged out of salad from the chrome but im still logged into my app

shit asked it in wrong channel

[pulsar arrow]

I love how Ericka ignored my reply

[upbeat shuttle]

[gleaming shell]

flashbacks to the day i got my roblox account banned so i contacted roblox support twice just to be ignored both times

[pulsar arrow]

United Arab Emirates

it's a country

[civic fern]

oh, thanks

no need to send anything then :D

[quartz whale]

https://tenor.com/view/ronaldo-supersayan-gif-6174963

[tardy swan]

ok

[upbeat shuttle]

you don't have to send the same gif to half the channels here

it was maybe funny the first time, not the 700th time lol

[quartz whale]

yea i was

bored

.

[quartz whale]

12*

[upbeat shuttle]

[quartz whale]

the time where salad bowl service used more data

than sgs client..

@crude charm

[shrewd terrace]

What to do if I lost 2 jobs due to pc shut down and not getting another

I used to get within a few minutes sgs

[tardy swan]

waiting

[shrewd terrace]

What to do

[tardy swan]

wait

[shrewd terrace]

Did it affect my trust score ?

[tardy swan]

maybe a little bit

[queen rampart]

dont worry it should pop back on after some time

[shrewd terrace]

It’s been hours

[queen rampart]

salad is probably making sure you are going to be online for a few hours, instead of shutting down again and again as happened previously

[shrewd terrace]

Hmmmmm ok

I hope I get a job

I will update in 2 hours

But it its more than 10 hours ig

[quartz whale]

ok guys

what is

a

"trust score"

and how to find that

[neon blade]

not implemented yet

dont bother

[quartz whale]

no but i

heard ppl

talking abt it

what is it?'

[neon blade]

not implemented

it means that if u do fraud with salad

your trust score will be lowered

[quartz whale]

oh demn

[neon blade]

and it may decrease the chances of containers and bandwidth

[quartz whale]

what does "fraud"

mean

[neon blade]

we dont know that yet

[quartz whale]

ohoo

ok

[neon blade]

tho i might know some example which im unsure of

like messing with containers

[quartz whale]

o

[shadow scaffold]

so it may not actually exist

[neon blade]

^

@shadow scaffold

[shadow scaffold]

oh

[shrewd terrace]

Got my job back after few hours

But it’s a low paying job

[upbeat spear]

albania

[civic fern]

idk, i sent all the logs to salad support anyway

hope they understand more than me

got no answer back yet

[frosty brook]

Restarting again and again

[hollow vortex]

When I spoke to Ericka about this in my logs months ago she says it's a hiccup to not worry about it too much .

[glossy pasture]

btw, i think i have fix for low librespeed upload speed, but you need to modified the ndm.yaml to add some command

[upbeat shuttle]

what command

[glossy pasture]

--upload-size 1000

[upbeat shuttle]

the default is 1024

what difference would that make?

[neon blade]

are you thinking to force change servers

[neon blade]

because this seems like a joke you must hadn't mean it

[glossy pasture]

nope, it just change the upload size, it greatly improve the speed for me, from only few Mbps to

[neon blade]

what the

@upbeat shuttle what goofy ah magic is this

[neon blade]

how much were your speeds before

[glossy pasture]

2-5Mbps

my upload is 200Mbps

[neon blade]

perhaps your speedtesting server changed?

and you got more upload?

[glossy pasture]

nope, same virginia server

only that one server giving me low ping, other is high as 200ms++

[pulsar arrow]

a

48tb

man wouldn't it be awesome if salad never crashed amidst a 7 cent job

woohoo

pain

[safe loom]

that would just change the amount of data used in the test

which like ozua said

is 1024

by default

so limiting it by like 24 bytes would be silly

[glossy pasture]

yup, but it greatly improve the upload speed

for me atleast

[waxen pollen]

try setting it back to 1024 and see what the result is

[glossy pasture]

check before.txt

[waxen pollen]

so i'm guessing the before is after you set it back to 1024 then? not a screenshot of what it was before you changed it to 1000

[safe loom]

he means by setting --upload-size to 1024

[glossy pasture]

before.txt is using default 1024

[waxen pollen]

Yeah i mean, set it back to 1024 and run lightspeed again to see what it says.

[safe loom]

he means

changing

the argument

to exactly 1024

not the default but manually set to 1024

[waxen pollen]

I mean set it back to default again and run lightspeed.
Then put it back to 1000 and run lightspeed again.

It could just be a fluke result or something changed that you cannot see.

[waxen pollen]

hmmm, interesting. What does it say if you set it back to 1000

does it still show as improved

[glossy pasture]

yup

[waxen pollen]

IK mine can have some dodgy results at times. One time it will show a not grate speed test, even though 1 device has 200mb and the other device having 1gb, and i'll get crappy earnings. but most of the time, it shows the correct results.

[waxen pollen]

hmmm, get that 🤔

I'm not going to mess with mine as i'm earning. But i wonder what someone else would see

[safe loom]

oh my

god

hes right

[glossy pasture]

lucky you, i didnt get sgs because im on unsupported country

[safe loom]

it measures my speed perfectly

770 40

no fucking way

@upbeat shuttle

brothers a genius

[waxen pollen]

😄

[safe loom]

sorry for doubting dawg

some things sound to stupid to be true 💀

[waxen pollen]

ahh fair. I'm lucky being in the best paying country. UK, but it can half go up and down at times

[naive lava]

what huh what how when what's going on

i wanna know

[hollow vortex]

Have a few ppl under me that from the UK , they also say the pay is much better

[safe loom]

loom at my log

its the same way you do the server thing

[naive lava]

okayy

[waxen pollen]

read above and you'll learn it

[safe loom]

what an absolutely goofy way to fix it, im sure the salad team isn't going to punish users for it

[waxen pollen]

honestly, it makes a change. On any other BW paying apps, the UK always has crap earnings.

[naive lava]

so u got ur actual speeds

in librespeed

[naive lava]

ok cool

[safe loom]

yeah

[naive lava]

guess this is where it started

intense reading

[glossy pasture]

i done alot of research oon this

[naive lava]

ayoooo

interesting

[naive lava]

ill try it now with my best server

[safe loom]

i did it on the virginia server

[glossy pasture]

let me guess, virginia server?

[naive lava]

no fk it's amsterdam

im Indian btw

[safe loom]

gonna run sgs with those speeds

lemme see if it actually affects earnings now

[glossy pasture]

good luck!

[safe loom]

since my download was only around 100mbps on the test

[safe loom]

good catch dude

thats wild

[upbeat shuttle]

default 436/339
1000 - 422/32

[naive lava]

uh huh

[pulsar arrow]

troll

[upbeat shuttle]

removed the 1000, got 435/52

[safe loom]

--upload-size value Size of payload being uploaded in KiB (default: 1024)

[upbeat shuttle]

maybe the server just shat itself

[safe loom]

it bumped my data usage on librespeed to 1gb a test though

💀

[pulsar arrow]

what server are you connected to

[upbeat shuttle]

london

[safe loom]

try server 54

la

[upbeat shuttle]

either way, it's above the minimum, and that's all that matters atm

[pulsar arrow]

maybr it works only on certain servers

[glossy pasture]

maybe, because i get virginia server everytime i restart salad bowl

[pulsar arrow]

imagine needing to go through these loopholes to get a valid speedtest

salad moment

[naive lava]

hahahaha "hope devs gonna fix it in the future" -salad

[pulsar arrow]

British users can't imagine

[naive lava]

[pulsar arrow]

London server W

[naive lava]

uh lemme do some tests

intense multitasking

[calm viper]

where do i add this in the file

[pulsar arrow]

in the file

[glossy pasture]

check @naive lava guide on changing testspeed server

[naive lava]

oh this?

How to force librespeed cli to use the server that works the best for you :
1 ) Go to https://librespeed.org/ and try different server, find the one where you get better speeds
2 ) Go to https://librespeed.org/backend-servers/servers.php and with the country, city and provider find the id associated to your server
3 ) Go in the salad workload-definitions folder on your pc ([Drive]:\ProgramData\Salad\workload-definitions) and open ndm.yaml with notepad, find the line : args: "--ipv4" and add --server with the id
You get something like : "--ipv4 --server 49" for id 49.
4 ) Save the file, if you have permission problem save it to another name (like ndm1.yaml), delete the old one, and rerename your new file to ndm.yaml.

[glossy pasture]

yup2

[naive lava]

cul ok

[waxen pollen]

anyone from you UK tried this and seen any difference?

[glossy pasture]

maybe add that command too on your guide, it will be easy for other to check it

[jovial fiber]

i'm gonna beg for credit lol

[naive lava]

btw it's not my own guide lol

[naive lava]

hmm forgor

[jovial fiber]

x)

[naive lava]

oh it's urs

damn

[calm viper]

like right at the top of the file or?

thats what i meant

[pulsar arrow]

ion know

[jovial fiber]

we need Ozua to put it in the pinned

[pulsar arrow]

u shouldn't have to

London server should be working right

seems nice

[jovial fiber]

yay

[waxen pollen]

So UK users shouldn't need to do this then right?

[naive lava]

[pulsar arrow]

as far as I know, no

I think it's for the India and other regions

where the speedtest servers are crappy

[jovial fiber]

only London Cloudvider one

[waxen pollen]

thats good to know then. I don't need to interupt me earnings

we need to make a revolution

[naive lava]

the what

[jovial fiber]

i'm not saying that because i'm French

[naive lava]

wha 💀

[jovial fiber]

do you know the French Revolution?

[naive lava]

yesh

[jovial fiber]

nice

we are known worldwide for that

that's kind of sad

[naive lava]

[jovial fiber]

anyway we need to revolt against bandwidth sharing

[naive lava]

oof my best server is tripping rn

[naive lava]

librespeed*

[jovial fiber]

whatbis going on ?

[jovial fiber]

SALAD

[naive lava]

yes ig

[naive lava]

idk im trying the --upload-size 1000 trick by @ syahpian

[jovial fiber]

i don't think it works

[naive lava]

for him and cyph, it did

[jovial fiber]

speedtest are just inconsistent even done on the same server

[naive lava]

lemme try virginia

[naive lava]

#1021501189977813002 message read from here

[glossy pasture]

well, i guess 1000 only work on virginia since that the server i default on testing everytime i restart salad

[jovial fiber]

i've already read

[naive lava]

cul

[jovial fiber]

did you try multiple times to check if it works ? and alternatingly

[opal galleon]

if ur thing works

i will kiss you

if it gets me sgs

[naive lava]

cyph almost did

[opal galleon]

holy

[naive lava]

[opal galleon]

damn

[glossy pasture]

other server ping is above 200ms, only virginia giving me below 100ms

[jovial fiber]

yeah i was not talking about the server but checking that your trick work by doing multiple speedtest with and without

[naive lava]

doesn't work for me in virigina

neither in amsterdam server

cul my life sux ig

[glossy pasture]

oh, yup, i try it so many time

[opal galleon]

ye didnt work for me either

my ip shows im from EG

[naive lava]

[opal galleon]

egypt

[naive lava]

salad fix ur shit quick plsss

[opal galleon]

fr

[naive lava]

are u?

[jovial fiber]

lol he just have a bug only for him

[naive lava]

sed

[jovial fiber]

but even with good speed i get no job

[naive lava]

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day has been ruined

[jovial fiber]

i'm jobless

[jovial fiber]

^ i wonder why this emote is on this server

[naive lava]

in fact, the most popular emote

is

[opal galleon]

mo

no

it shows france sometimes

sometimes egypt

sometimes lebanon

never india

gay salad

[naive lava]

lmao

[jovial fiber]

international passport

[naive lava]

fr

[upbeat shuttle]

it's in the 'grey area' of being allowed, since it is modifying one of salad's files

[opal galleon]

tbh nto really salads files

librespeed is open source i believe

[upbeat shuttle]

'ndm.yaml' is one of salad's files

[frigid reef]

yes, but its librespeed what is placed within salads files and used by salad and only salad.

[opal galleon]

hmm true

[opal galleon]

ah alright

[safe loom]

0 earnings

fantastic piece of software

[opal galleon]

atleast you got sgs

[safe loom]

real

why did you get termed?

[opal galleon]

i said im 14 year old but instead of the 14 it was 11

then account disabled

then i put a appeal

and then they ignored me

till my account go poof

also i need my alpha testers role

[safe loom]

💀

[safe loom]

can you show me a reward redemption before june 1st 2022?

[opal galleon]

yes one sec

[safe loom]

@upbeat shuttle

task

give man the alpha

completion reward = 10 pushups

[opal galleon]

ez

[safe loom]

not for ozua apparently

💀

[opal galleon]

@safe loom is an email fine or redemption reward

[opal galleon]

💀

[safe loom]

either

any proof that you used salad before june 1st

[opal galleon]

alright hold up

@safe loom

[safe loom]

i bless this man with the finest alpha tester role available (i dont have manage role perms)

[opal galleon]

real

[naive lava]

oh yeh i forgor about that
well unless you're dumb, ig it's fine

[civic fern]

Well... One could argue that .yaml files are made in order to be more readable for humans

[naive lava]

what the hell is the context

[civic fern]

If it was a .json, then i could get it but it's a .yaml

[tardy swan]

what even was that raffle

[naive lava]

it's not hard to edit a .json file

[civic fern]

The file you modify in order to get a static server for the speedtest

[naive lava]

im asking the context

[civic fern]

Well... One could argue that .yaml files are made in order to be more readable for humans

[tardy swan]

what year

i guess 2022

[civic fern]

Wym the context

[naive lava]

like all of a sudden you're speaking of .yaml files

[civic fern]

I saw you replying to a message and i gave you my pov

[naive lava]

icic

[civic fern]

.

[naive lava]

mhm

[opal galleon]

idek

[tardy swan]

i have it too and i have no idea

[opal galleon]

also thanks to anyone who gave me the role

appreciate it

[tardy swan]

i gave you it

[opal galleon]

ye some old shit

[opal galleon]

fr

[tardy swan]

you're welcome

[opal galleon]

👍

[gleaming shell]

For some reason this doesn't even work on my laptop

It dosent take the speedtest

Then when I change it back it stays broken and still doesn't take the speed test and I have to reinstall salad to fix it

But then a salad reinstall means default values which means shit speed tests

[frigid reef]

Just don’t mess with the files

[civic fern]

Community support be like: don't mess with the files

Dew it :3

[jovial fiber]

mess with the files

that's the only way to have decent working software

at least for bandwidth

[gleaming shell]

Yeah if I don't mess with files I just get shit speed tests that get worse and worse every time I restart

[jovial fiber]

I get less than a Mbit

[waxen pollen]

I find that happens to me too from time to time. Either a reinstall or just restarting my pc fixes it.

[gleaming shell]

well atleast i got a decent speedtest this time so now i wait for sgs

[waxen pollen]

Yikes, i just realised i need $7.60 per day, at min

to earn enough a month to pay for the thing i'm relying on salad to be able to buy

[tardy swan]

bro what?

7.6$ daily?

what are you buying

[pulsar arrow]

the country of norway

[tardy swan]

noo

[waxen pollen]

lol no, i can't get the weight loss injection on the NHS due to not having a weight related condition from the NHS's limited conditions list. So i have to buy it myself.

My BMI is over 35, though you wouldn't call me fat, if you looked at me. But i'm defo not a good weight

[little saffron]

would salad run on a shadow gaming pc for bandwith sharing?

[waxen pollen]

that would likely get your account pulled. Due to the amount of bandwidth it's using

that would likely have a fair use clause in the contract you signed

plus the IP would probs be a data centre one

[little saffron]

mh

could fix that xd

[waxen pollen]

not likely with a proxy

😛

[little saffron]

mhh

[jovial fiber]

proceed to wait for 257426 years

[gleaming shell]

mayb

[waxen pollen]

Is there a differnece for salad between a static of dynamic IP?

[pulsar arrow]

yes I think salad likes dynamic ips

@upbeat shuttle correc me if I'm wrong

[upbeat shuttle]

mm

I don't see why it'd make much of a difference

[pulsar arrow]

ohshit I kept thinking static IP were business ones

salad should accept both

[south smelt]

can we use bandwidth sharing with cpu + gpu off

[gleaming shell]

Yeah

[south smelt]

ok cool

[hollow vortex]

my Ip hasn't changed been 3 months on my new ISP .

[tardy swan]

Cool

[upbeat shuttle]

IPs tend to stick around, unless if your router is off for a few days

well it can vary between ISPs

but that doesn't really matter, as long as your IP has a decent 'fraud score'

[woven sage]

support told me i could search up what isps are good/better for bw sharing

and he told me i could search it up on google

wtf do i search up

[tardy swan]

What isps are good for bandwidth sharing

You answered your own question

[woven sage]

well obv ive tried that

i keep getting some random reddit post thats completely unrelated

[tardy swan]

Search up

[hollow vortex]

Theres a site,i forget where it was, that listed ISP's that allowed bwing and ones that didnt allow such as p2p sharing " torrent such things " had alot of ISPs around the the word

but if you read your ISP TOS , you'd have a better idea

[woven sage]

what am i looking for?

[tardy swan]

Gay men

[upbeat shuttle]

they probably mean to look for ISPs that offer higher speeds

[quartz whale]

[queen rampart]

amen

[gleaming shell]

Update: my dumbass has been doing it wrong the entire time
I saved it as a text file instead of a .yaml file skul

[queen rampart]

I cringed

[gleaming shell]

d

[green lantern]

Yo @upbeat shuttle
In India bw sharing is working for the Airtel users not Jio users. Now I do not think salad would be filtering networks like that

So what exactly differentiates the networks that prefers Airtel?

I have given then bw sharing 2 times but Airtel users get it all the time

[cinder seal]

But i am using excitel 😂

[opal galleon]

yes he's comparing between the two major isps

[green lantern]

yes i am

[naive lava]

if done correctly, u don't need to warry

[naive lava]

lmao

[naive lava]

i mean, hopefully u did all the steps correct

that's all i would say

[gleaming shell]

I fixed it

[gleaming shell]

It was bc I forgor to save it as a .yaml

[naive lava]

exactly

u did the steps wrong

[gleaming shell]

Damn

[safe loom]

fuck ipqs btw

they gave me a 38/100 for no reason

it used to be 5/100 for the computer being a different timezone

it says 38 but i have 0 issues

no blacklists, no webrtc leaks

[civic fern]

good morning

wrong channel

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah absolutely, their score is biased and completely stupid to begin with, since people's IPs can so easily be changed

[safe loom]

good morning

[upbeat shuttle]

Not a clue, that'd be a question for #official-support or Ericka

[green lantern]

@green star

[naive lava]

then why do u still have it linked in the min requirements pin?

[upbeat shuttle]

because Salad apparently uses it for some reason

and some sites that customers might want to access

if your 'fraud score' is high on those websites, it'll probably load differently to expected, asking for a captcha to be filled out or something

• is my guess

[civic fern]

fraud scores?

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

[civic fern]

idek how they manage to give such a score

atm i'm at 0, but before i had 28 points

[naive lava]

salad always has the wrong choices
librespeed, ipqualityscore

nais

[safe loom]

YOU HAVE BETTER LUCK DMING HER THAN PINGING HER

caps

i love my keyboard <3

[naive lava]

lul

[jovial fiber]

YES

finally

[quartz whale]

@mystic condor.. come #counting-galore and ping me.

bruh

sorry didnt mean to ping you

[jovial fiber]

lmao

[quartz whale]

someone* come to #counting-galore and ping me i'll be there..

[upbeat shuttle]

doesn't sound related to bandwidth sharing

[shrewd terrace]

yea idk what is it it just doesnt work

what do i do?

pls

[upbeat shuttle]

i mean to say that you're asking in the wrong channel

[shrewd terrace]

where should i go?

[upbeat shuttle]

#community-support

[shrewd terrace]

ok thanks

[opal galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/kys-keep-yourself-safe-low-tier-god-gif-24664025

[upbeat shuttle]

sounds about right

[frigid reef]

except for your network they filter that out

[little saffron]

yep

[woven sage]

did smthn happaen in the last 5 hours

my sgs client randomly vansihed

[rapid perch]

same here

[quartz whale]

same man

that happened to me 3 times

in 2 days

like

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-serious-right-now-bro-gif-26306317

[subtle condor]

nooooooo :c

[civic fern]

f

[subtle condor]

just got my first sgs job back :P

[little saffron]

what happend bw just died

[little saffron]

uk ?

[subtle condor]

yessir

[little saffron]

wtf

all uk jobs ded ?

[subtle condor]

I guess so

[civic fern]

they lasted a good while though

[little saffron]

but uk still best country

i think

[civic fern]

definitely

italy works only... 0.1% of the time, maybe

[rapid perch]

meanwhile

[tardy swan]

Megabyte

[subtle condor]

rip

[dim wren]

@frigid reef did testing earnings go in india

this is container

[calm viper]

well, this happened to everyone but me ig

[pulsar arrow]

49tb!

[gleaming shell]

yay

[pulsar arrow]

ok not 49tb but like 49.98

[gleaming shell]

Close enough

You can round kt

It

[pulsar arrow]

yes

[gleaming shell]

Also I earned 20 cents on the past 24 hours

I can't believe it

[pulsar arrow]

real

[gleaming shell]

Also my SGS survived a full 24 hours without dying (ultra rare)

[pulsar arrow]

rare american bw sharing W

[jovial fiber]

ahhhh

in France there is no job

gonna move to uk

[pulsar arrow]

I'm getting shitty earnings because salad has these mini-crashes and I can't seem to hold a job

official support be taking an L aswell

no reply since I sent my ENTIRE log folder like they asked to

[calm viper]

Sgs in UK is dying

[little saffron]

rly?

[little saffron]

same

[calm viper]

At least mine is

[little saffron]

okay

[little saffron]

but uk still best countey or ?

[calm viper]

And other ppls are

[little saffron]

mmh

[fast marsh]

its a sunday, you cant expect them to respond

[jovial fiber]

they just got depressed by seeing your log

[civic fern]

i sent them literally my entire logs folder

still no answer after 1 week

9 days to be precise

[potent elm]

Not getting any BW sharing / CPU Container jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

well CPU container is to be expected

what country and speeds? (from the latest ndm log)

[potent elm]

NDM Log?

My internet speed is 400 Mbps Upload & Download

India region

[upbeat shuttle]

ah welp that explains it

bandwidth sharing jobs aren't guaranteed, especially if you're in a country that's still in testing

[potent elm]

Oh

I got a job 2 days ago

but since then...

[upbeat shuttle]

yep

[potent elm]

and why is cpu container not getting a job for 1 month

15 days*

[upbeat shuttle]

there's just not many CPU container jobs available atm

[potent elm]

bruh

[tough condor]

is it safe to use bandwidth sharing in UAE? as in will i get questioned by ISP

[safe loom]

i highly doubt they would question it

aslong as you have atleast 10mbps down and 10mbps up with no data limit you will be fine

[fast marsh]

im in the UAE too, should be fine

[shrewd terrace]

can i see if i havee a job for bw in anyway?

[upbeat shuttle]

^^^^

(read the pins)

[little saffron]

uk ded my boys all devices from me ded ?

[upbeat shuttle]

what

[little saffron]

uk traffic died

like few hours ago

no device earning anymore

[upbeat shuttle]

mine's been fine

[little saffron]

all 8 devoces

[upbeat shuttle]

8?

[little saffron]

[little saffron]

yes

[little saffron]

you uk

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah I'm in the UK

[frigid reef]

yeah mine is fine

[little saffron]

how much earning ?

[frigid reef]

0.09 in the last 15 minutes

[upbeat shuttle]

money

[little saffron]

you stole my jobs

100%

[frigid reef]

no i had them all day

[upbeat shuttle]

it still isn't using much of my new ISP yet

still figuring out ways to optimise it or whatever

[little saffron]

but idk why all my devices died same time

makes no sens

[frigid reef]

considering its only just starting to use the whole of my 100 mbps upload in the last 2 days it might take time

and it isnt 24/7 so like 6 hours each day

[upbeat shuttle]

you're not running it 24/7? or do you mean it's only maxing out for like 6h a day

[frigid reef]

its only maxing out for 6 hours a day

[upbeat shuttle]

aha

[frigid reef]

well today it actually done 10

but as you can see, it hasent been the nicest in the past 15 or so days

only just getting back up there

[little saffron]

wait

omg it makes no sens

it seems to be salad rotaing jobs thru users

[frigid reef]

no i have just had issues with my own network/salad

[little saffron]

cuz i didnt checked 2 devices i think and they got from flat line before to big earnings 0.16 rn

[little saffron]

^^

[frigid reef]

also clients can just say, no i dont want this network anymore

[little saffron]

wtf

[frigid reef]

and switch to another one

[little saffron]

and then ez blacklist or

[frigid reef]

not blacklist, but if your network is too slow for their jobs they can just switch to another one

or give you lower amount of traffic

[little saffron]

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm.. pretty sure sgs has load balancing

[frigid reef]

most likely

[little saffron]

mmh

[upbeat shuttle]

anyways I'm reaching peaks of 4.4c/15m with my new ISP now

[calm viper]

are you in UK?

[upbeat shuttle]

unfortunately

[tardy swan]

[calm viper]

dam, im getting 2.6c

[tardy swan]

I’m chilling with my 0.6 cents

[calm viper]

i used to get 3.4 c

[tardy swan]

I’m not even making 1$ a day

[upbeat shuttle]

peaks

[tardy swan]

Yes

Sneak peeks?

[upbeat shuttle]

average is more like 2.2c/15m

[tardy swan]

[calm viper]

that sounds about right actually

for me as well

[tardy swan]

I wanna be in the uk now

😕

[frigid reef]

my sg-client has been running for a week and a half now with errors so it might take around a week to get to 10 dollars a day

or more

[upbeat shuttle]

ok i just remoted into my laptop and saw sgs-client at 100+mbps

guess I'm not restarting it tonight

[frigid reef]

[upbeat shuttle]

ew glasswire

[frigid reef]

i use older version what is less restrictive

[upbeat shuttle]

I've gotta find something to monitor sgs's usage ngl

[tardy swan]

Task manager

[upbeat shuttle]

i would use that, but it forces an update eventually

[upbeat shuttle]

that doesn't allow for an individual app view with past usage graphs

[uncut bluff]

why did they make everything a paywall man

even dark mode is a paywall

[upbeat shuttle]

blame capitalism

[frigid reef]

?

[upbeat shuttle]

discord made dark mode paywalled too, you know

we've only got light and grey mode free
