I assume they're working on some things with their customer(s) before officially anouncing it
how to calm down google
close some tabs
2 tabs
I think chrome also has some memory saving feature now
hope it works
my two mini's are i5 6500T 3.1/2.5GHz
Would the CPU be all that important for BW sharing?
if it's somehow being choked by background processes sgs might just unalive itself
has happened to me when doing heavy shit
I'd install a custom untra light OS
and they would only be BW sharing
you mean windows on a diet
That should be fine yeah
bandwidth sharing can use a not-so-insignificant amount of your CPU at higher loads
hmmm ok
Man
#show-off-your-earnings Sheesh
I got my 329 lifetime
I MIGHT LOSE MY SGS
Thunderstorm
I've lost it a few times before
Bc of shit weather
But my shitty internet goes out
when fiber
Mods are lazy + why bother
huh?
It doesn't make a difference
I think
It's essantially the same thing
People come with problems
mods clear the problems
people come with more problems
we're actually pretty lucky that we even have this thread still - they tried to get rid of it before, but we met half way and they only unpinned it
You guys remember the container beta channel when that was a thing
yup
Petition to merge it with #community-support
no
no
yesx2
I will actively abuse my moderational powers to ensure your life is less than pleasant here

It already is
I just woke up from the dead
oh i just realised you're shrey
I just sued a guy
who didn't respect my pronouns
anyways that's off topic
so yea bye
Also this channel (or whatever this is ) sucks so delete it @upbeat shuttle
The secret to better salad earnings
agreed
higher ups that are not here a lot ;-;
Real gravity is it may disbalance or ur friend might trip on it "by mistake"
I'll revolt if they remove this channel. π
Just ask earnapp how that went for them when they made d*ck moves against the community lmao π€£π€£
I only use this channel. Take that away and there's nothing in this discord for me to stay.
This is the Bandwidth Sharing help channel to me.
No way
You have the power to do that?
Don't do it. I'll declare ww3, i swear π
I will make sure to 
you'll regret it π π
wahhhh
that's just ping queue
i lost my job

like to get that you need to have gigabyte connection used at 100%
we need to take them down
this is the only solution
Not so funny when you consider what's going on in Ukraine right now.
π
...
bruh
way to ruin the fun
well!!
i burnt some cookies today
gg
wjat...
i support you
new peak of 31.1c
damn
your college lunch about to be fabulous
oh wait your not
I mistook you for nova
what's your daily at
Is this good for 400 mbps ?
mid
Do you actually have 102 yottabytes?
yes

3k
Ok
i pay like 40β¬ for 800mbps
Lies. Lol
wtf am i seeing in #show-off-your-earnings this dripps guy needs to share his secrets
I own my isp
based
mf is the ceo and founderof AT&T
ong
pretty sure isp's can't question your use of their service
well some can be sneaky in their fair use policy
sgs is a vpn tunnel so they probably can't see it, unless its not unlimited data they can't terminate your services, and he's probably on contract
most isp's don't have fair use policy for individual/personal plans
if they do its usually just "for business purposes you require a business plan"
and on business plans usually just "if used more than x then you must use x plan"
i use like 5-6tb a month in my household
no problems from my isp
they do repairs and support like any other individual π€·ββοΈ
you're getting scammed if your isp has a hidden cap to upcharge you for data
thats why salad says if you dont have a data cap they recommend bandwidth sharing, if you do have a data cap they highly recommend not using bandwidth sharing
yeah that makes sense, if they did have some hidden cap they would lose a lot of customers and ruin their reputation as an isp too
mine doesn't have one 
technically sgs doesnt fall under this because it's not open to the public right?
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
indeed
can i run sgs two times with a vm ? ||or am i getting a reason to be ban for the 274772 time||
sgs (and containers) will not work/start in a vm at all
Donβt say that ππ

sad times
Nice all my machines are ofline
offline
nice isp

everywhere green dot is its online
3 out of 12 nice
how do you have this many
are you.. using multiple accounts?
@little saffron ?
No
why are there different graphs
and the account names diffrent lengths?
what about account names?
Bruh all same
proof
Me when someone shows evidence they are breaking salad ToS
i think thats the progress bar for the reward right
no im looking more to the right
Yk that all devices are other reselution
ok, then send a better resolution image that shows they are the same 
Can do for sure but rn all offline as you see
They are the same, the scaling is identical
You are breaking ToS
No itβs not
Ban this user 
you have many machines running salad on different accounts
No ?
prove
Hotspot innit bruv
USB tether
And I donβt have time to go to my switch rn or to a internal computer
Bro iPhone π
yeah it works on iphone
Bozo fr
How
You need itunes
nope
This has never worked for me when I had an iphone
Or windows
wrong, works on windows

you cant tell me it dosent, as i have done that multiple times
.
for me it donβt works I tested it too on my main pc a few months ago where we had long outage
So

skill issue
your proof will be sending the same screenshot multiple times 
skull emoji

Where
advanced parameters > performance
i get it no matter what
not search advanced parameters in the windows search bar
this is troll uh it doesn't work like that
Mh
how would this help?
this doesn't help
then dont say it does, if you continue to do this, it could lead to a support channel ban
or possible mutes
;-;
.
ive been earning base rate for 3 days now, afik theres no lack of jobs in the UK. interesting
mine has been fine
it somewhat depends on what gateway salad chooses for you to use
im guessing theres no way to manipulate that in my favour
not sure
Sounds about right.
rip
might contact salad support if this still is the same in the next 2 days
lol
expect the same answer I got "bandwidth jobs are never guaranteed and it's expected to wait a couple days to see earning appear on your account"
Ericka said my logs were fine and it was apparently normal for it to spit out an error every now and then
it's definitely not normal since this started from the past month or so
som1 help me with logs inspection
actual https://xyproblem.info/ moment
Asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem
cant open ggl will slow down this heavy cpu container job 1 cent every 5 mins
he just say that you should ask for your problem rather than what you're trying to do to resolve it
no bandwith sharing job in 5 days || only cpu container just got it 10 mins ago
100 mbps
im in india π
just came back in buisness
india is in testing
what say your ndm log ?
and testing countries dont hv guarantied jobs
even non testing one π
5 days straight..
Yep
π
just go in salad app > show logs
ndm folder
open most recent
file
tell me ping, jitter, download rate and upload rate
π π
ill go set static ip
OH WAIT
i have static ip of my grandpa's house
how to remove static ip
;-;
but you can't do much about that as there are no speedtest server near india
ik static ip set to grandpas house its like 200 km far
You can't, and shouldn't try to cheat the system
cheat??
static ip aint allowed?
the file you sent before was sgs log so it started one day
so there should have no problem
so just wait ;-;
?
idk what is that
changing something you don't know what it is won't resolve your problem because you have no problem
what ik is that u need to have a residential ip, not sure about tht one
the problem is mine is a society
low trust rate
some sites call it spam ip
if you have a business ip yep it won't work
business ip?
like company ip
anyone have any idea what BidirThroughput is measured in?
the what
isn't tht in like, mbps?
no idea
it's probably not 'per second'
it could be mb, Mb, kb, Kb, or maybe even b/B
What the?
OK that was weird. I hovered over Prateeks info aswell and it never popped up like his. Made me think it was something ominous π π
Wtf is b/B
bit or byte
man that joke's of 2021'
2021 was a joke of a year.
as i told u
no , most are dynamic that changes every so often , unless you ask for a static ip even sometimes u have to pay for a static ip depending on your ISP
like at which frequency (i have no idea)
could be weeks, or months, really it depends on the ISP and how they work things
Sometimes you can get a new ip just restarting modem, or leaving it off for hours/days
it'll beome inactive, and when you start u modem it'll reasign a new one.
easiest way if turning it off and on , doesnt get you a new one , just replace your modem π
My POV: rushes to restart modem, modem restarts, same ip address...
5 minute rule is applicable
keep it off for 5 mins
then restart or it won't work
som1 rank indian gateways
balls
its back now
static pay uses 1/10th of a kb
ur mom
...

?
glasswire?
nothing π
trust me
send prof
i used to get 0.75
wtf
which isnt even a dollar a day
where u from?
u kay
norway
300mb in 5 minutes
...
static pay?
nah total
yepei
someone reported from hebrew chat they got bandwidth sharing this is interesting
well we never had a proof
from what I know salad does have gateaway server in israel located 5 minutes walk from my military base
I will go rob it 
Brilliant idea!
#show-off-your-earnings message ???
Bandwidth sharing uses download speed or upload speed?
both
You're sharing your bandwidth - you download stuff, then you upload that stuff
So it'll use roughly an equal amount of download speed as upload speed :)
How much will I earn roughly with 600mbps download speed and 60mbps upload speed?
Ok thanks
salad momento
what region
yes
Israel
I'm not sure if Israel is supported by bandwidth sharing yet
Not yet
it doesn't say so in pins
oh really? good to know.
a country will get bw option if its demand is high there.. what kind of demands are we talking here and what does these salad clients do with these bw?
and why is Uk Bw paying so much whereas other regions are not paying as much as Uk
We don't know exact details on what amount of demand is necessary for a country to be added, nor exactly what Salad's customers use our bandwidth for.
Though Salad does say that they have a high standard for accepting SGS customers, and so far we haven't really seen any suspicious activity.
The UK probably has a much higher pay per GB because we have more region locked content
I don't know what content exactly, as I don't watch streaming services, but there's apparently enough for the pay to be that high :)
yes
UK customers
741 mbps
that's the max :)
salad
damn this month be off to a great start
damn this month start like ........
is there no job in France ;-;
is there no france
Also no italy
;-;
we need to make publicity for salad ;-;
x)
rip
pretty sure i saw someone earning a decent amount in france but okay
define decent
more than a cent

what about italy?
except me, of course
anyone else?
@kindred elm 
bro im earning 10 cents/day be glad u got tht
i'm earning 0 cent a day :-:
will installing this kill my sgs? https://www.netlimiter.com/
NetLimiter, network monitoring and control tool
i want to use this so i can prioritize my sgs client for bandwidth usage
but idk if i will kill it/if it will disconnect me if i use it
or if im even able to get sgs
try it and see
but i dont want my sgs gone
if that happens
actually
imma install on my second laptop
but that wont solve the "will i even get sgs with that"
as long as it doesn't interfere negatively, it'll probably be fine
it dosent kill your sgs i tried it
gg!!
ok i prioritized my sgs
https://www.netlimiter.com/download if yall want to use this
it also has a network usage monitor like glasswire but its a bit uglier
you can also use this to limit the amount sgs uses or prioritize the amount sgs uses
NetLimiter, network monitoring and control tool
^if im correct you can also set a limit if you have a data cap
and yes there is a subscription but the basic features are free i think
I'm ready, give me all your bandwidth, Salad 
god damn
Although I am US, lurking around it seems UK gets all the customers?
WHAT THE FUCK
Yee 5gig is getting rolled out to fiber residential around my region
man
btw it shows ur ip
what are you going to do with my local?
increase it to 7 gbps

reply if you can see this message im testing out the bandwidth priority thing
bingo!
Still have to reconfigure my home network, but can't wait to get salad running later tonight
are you in the UK?
or us?
US-West
"I am US"
pls dont tell me youre in the uk
sadly not much demand
Probably not a ton of jobs but yea
read ;-;
ok imma decrease the priority amount for my sgs
I personally wouldn't bother with that app
ok this message should send now
no that message actually didn't send
i have shit internet so i dont want my sgs to die bc im doing something else that uses my internet
DUDE MY MESSAGES ARE STILL NOT SENDING
5 percent it is then
I had some app like that before, it only ever gave me issues
im trying it out for a few days, if it dosent really do anything i will uninstall
dosent
ok this message should send normally
you caught the nova spelling virus
RIP
ok this is the actual last message
one more
for good measure
ok this is the for real actual last message i promise i wont send any more i just cant get this thing to work
update: you were right im uninstalling it
shouldn't do
by default, it should just monitor network activity
there's an option for some firewall, but that's paid anyways
one more
maybe
You did it!!!!
I was only playing a browser game andthe whole thing froze
and the audio went BRRRRRRRRRRRR
Love when that happens
Best noise
lol thats over kill, salad doesnt even use 100mbps up/down on a norm.
damn, consistent earnings for once???
You're just worried I'm going to vacuum up your jobs π
But I meme, imagine though
not worried one bit.
considering salad doesnt allow parrel connections , lol noe one customer wil utilize 1/2 of your avail. speed.
i hate you so much
you just wonβt let me explain how gateways work
and salad can use any speed available on your network
iβve seen it use 500mbps for me
I'm pretty sure some gateways are also just fallback servers
just extra gateways so others can connect to then complain they get no jobs, so that way they already have more avail. connections for new customers .
Like they were saying they wanted more gpu cheifs cause of a " big wave of containers " smh
omw to the us even though i hate it
holy shit google fiber does 8 gig
what the fuk
Yea man recent residential plans have really picked up in speeds this past year, used to only get 1gig from this ISP and suddenly they're offering up to 5gig, technician said they're also offering 10gig to businesses in this region too 
Although your mileage may vary, this part of town is close to a datacenter and recent in development, so the fiber backbone was all laid out
$150/mo - this home has multiple heavy users and we appreciate the collective bandwidth
im gonna pray my isp offers 5gig or maybe even 10gig soon
past hour or so
bros got the infinite sgs glitch
for only 150 a month
all chefs in the region connect to the same gateway(s)
according to the pins you can get sgs on the same ip if your country has multiple gateways?
i want to try it but im cpu mining on my second laptop
probably
i read it like that
so
i wonder if i should stop cpu mining on my second laptop
for hopes of getting sgs i guess?
is it earning you a profit?
no - disable it
yes - keep it running
no
now you got your answer
2 sgsses it is then
I had 260000 but then windows update restarted it
LOL ok sgs it is
ayooo
what the fucj
I haven't gotten anyearnings other than static pay
in the last 24 hours
thanks random bsod
sowwy fow steawing aww youw bawdwidth jwobs >~<
skill issue
first time seeing bandwidth is enabled message inside salad is exciting but got nothing yet
Ok
is it symmetrical?
i pay $100 a month for 500 down 100 up ..
Mbps btw (if it needed to be said)
what i could have 8 gigs down and 1 up for 50$
;-;
the problem is that I am in British Columbia and that is in Ontario
just waiting for them to build a fiber network in bc
is this FTTO?
ftth

Needs more fiber optics :/
idk they could i think
like one offer is 8gigs down 1 up
nobody use upload
an isp said that above that that's not useful for 93% of the population ;-;
Replacing fiber with older cities is expensive, then individual buildings/houses probably need to replace their ethernet cables too, only reason my area has the opportunity is because its relatively new in development and we're close to a business data center meh
LOL
Did they not go through the pandemic? Also more people are consuming tons of entertainment online
But I live with 4 other people who use up bandwidth for everything from streaming, filesharing, work, etc
most houses I've seen have cables that can handle at least gigabit
I'd expect only ancient houses to have old cabling that can't even handle that
cat5e can do 2.5gbe pretty easily
my house says cat5e+ what does that mean
But yea, a lot of houses can use a combination of 5e and existing coaxial
I doubt a lot of existing cat5e cable can do 2.5gbe
I'm seeing people talking about doing 10gbe on cat5 cables 
ofc they're shorter runs
At what length, yea
patch cables probably, really short runs
Unless you want to be right next to your optical terminal lol
Reason I say that is because this building had cat5e before I replaced it, would top out at 1gbps and well below 100m, I assume their cable was built overspec I guess 
Just that it was the one that originally was laid down by the builders
Das alotta data
on a map i have seen that i was connected with 8gig fiber
fiber here is recent
That's gnarly they're offering 8gig to residential, even 2gig+ for homes is way ahead of the global norm for even heavily connected countries 
It's convenient when your home is close to those main fiber backbones, it's deploying it even further away from that where it gets really costly, look up 'last mile deployment costs'
And it's an economies of scale thing right, the backbones typically are where datacenters and businesses sit around, providers have to survey whether deploying fiber to other areas makes sense financially from residential participation
yep that make sense
i guess it's the same here but that's the government that pay for the deployment so idk
Or maybe, we can live in a timeline where governments increase the national connectivity speeds as a standard to homes, maybe make it a utility x)
Ye, government subsidies would be rad, wouldn't mind paying taxes so we have a slick internet backbone
old lady that have 90 yo paying for fiber deployment 
Hey, she got her pension and her boomer wealth to throw around right π
lmao
person not in education paying for the education system π±


that's better when everyone is paying everything
my bad i'm making errors everywhere i need to fix my english 
Have you read through the pinned posts here?
They contain basically all of our knowledge about Bandwidth Sharing, so it'd save all of our time if you gave it a good read :)
sgs is so rigged
wanna explain or wanna complain
india..and internet speed 30mbps
What do the ndm files show?
your librespeed test result
it is used to determine whether you are eligible for sgs
complain
they do
in australia nbn is a maximum of 1000/50 but the standard is 100/40
the reason is because they see faster speeds as business needs not individual
minimum plans vary by country
but itβs based on the speed you can afford π€·ββοΈ
?
WHICH LIBRESPEED SERVER DO SALAD USE FOR INDIA?
librespeed picks the closest server to you based off of ping
so its what ever server that has the lowest ping to you
ITS USEING USA!
ok
what is librespeed again
internet speed test that salad uses
where is india
it will choose the closest server based off of ping, there isnt a server in every country
there was actually a bangalore server which for some reason has closed it's services to librespeed
@glossy torrent and u can't do anything about those low speeds trust me ive been struggling to get a bw sharing job from 1 and half month
noice
2023-07-06 21:58:13.265 +05:30 [INF] Ping: 148 ms Jitter: 2 ms
bro
π
tha ping
that's decent stop complaining
naa decent aint enough
?
forever
or keep checking out the best server for u
not like i can change my server
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 torrent
that server is the best one for me too
franmkfurt>
Welp that explains that you didn't actually read the pins, as your answer is in the second pinned message 
Bandwidth Sharing jobs aren't guaranteed, especially in countries that are still in testing (India).
my jitter goes 160 in that-
:/ just use amsterdam it's gud
this one better though
can i check what srvr that was
man i send u a whole step-by-step solution
@glossy torrent
tbh u should check which server gives u the highest speeds instead
btw can i change the code to give me better rewards
what code
ndm.yaml
:|
did u read what i've sent?
that just changes which server librespeed's gonna use
not your "tHiS cODE gIvES MoRE reWArdS"
no dude.....
speeds
order of preference
yes
what speeds should it be?
80-100
honestly as long as your above the min requirements it dosent matter that much
i wont get a job until i had the fastest network i think
dc having issues
is there no way i can test all servers at once..
dc status say its all right ;-;
i though my net was lagging
..?
that is server by server
.
?
my net fluctuate like HEeell
They use an older version of it iirc
nothing we can do about it though
ill go do test my internet
True
Just annoying how speeds go down by 400mbps
i get 0 issue, but as long as you get sgs-client running it dosent matter
i have no sgs running since a week
are you in india?
its still in beta testing, so its only avalible for limited users in india
sooo if you dont get it when you hit the mim requirments nothing more you can do
i can see it under cpu
just keep chopping with it enabled and eventually you will get it
is upload imp?
wha?
i reinstalled windows now sgs-client wont run 
ok
ok
mid
incredible
midder
I will host my own libre speed test server thatβs open for salad then π
that's just going too far
and would actually be producing fake results; breaking salad's TOS
guess he's just joking?
i will hack into salad database and change my money to infinity and then buy everything
no
yes
Why fake results ? My Datacenter server is allowed ?
No ?
Why fake results the server is in the datacenter and Iβm home
So
All legit

And just and to do a server that isnβt that overloaded
π
Already done just need to add to the website
sed no server then
Data Centre servers come with DCH IPs, not residential IPs. So it wouldn't work
and proxies get detected.
They're on about using a datacenter server for the speed test, not for running bandwidth sharing on
ahh isee, ignore me then π

(FRA01)","server":"https://speedtest....cloud/","id":86
if anyone want try the ndm server
how much does me streamign videos affect my bw sharing earnings
i went out for like a day and a half and my bw sharing earnings were skyrocketing
conviniently as i came home and began watching some youtube the earnings died
a bit of video streaming shouldn't affect earnings too much, unless if your max speeds are like 15mbps lol
yeah no its 300/300
maybe cause no ethernet
im not sure
although i have placed the laptop quite literally next to the router
could maybe just be a coincidence then
if your laptops that close why not just connect it via ethernet
get a long one so you can move it around a bit
and an adapter if you don't have the port
anyone has 1 gibt
500
nuhuh not at home
where is it located
ah
I've got 450 but I've got good bandwidth sharing jobs atm :)
germany
ah
f
i may getup a 10 gbit server
for salad
I'm doing 60mbit on sgs
the lapotp i use for bw sharing doesnt have ethernet port
my type a dont work 
mine doesn't either
a
usb c if you got that
that looks like glasswire but better lmao
Itβs my speed test server
librespeed? 
Where do you live and wich speeds ?
im in canada 
that why
π gimme money I do
how much
depends how much the server costs
domain and setup i have already
traffic of 15 min
in a speed test server
https://speedtest.lumischvps.cloud when you wanna test without killing ndm
finally
man
man
atleast im getting jobs tho no more static pay
(the fact that static pay itself already earns a bit over 100x my shit cpu mining)
I attempted one but canceled immediately after, got like 200 and was still rising quick
on the download
haha
nice
didn't want to disrupt the job I had
my bad that ping i'm gonna use it 
Wat xd

will try
but rn my ddos protection kickin in
bc so much traffic
haha
No way you have your own server
holy shit
i might try using your server
on my second laptop
btw uk or us?
tbh your server might work very well as theres not as much demand or whatever for your server
maybe
aren't you being charged for all this bandwidth lmao
no
what service are you using
