Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[safe loom]

wouldn't know havent connected to acdc since the 30th

you can run multiple devices on the same ip to the same gateway

[vagrant dirge]

Really?

[safe loom]

its just not guaranteed to earn more or earn at all

[gleaming shell]

how does salad come up with the gateway names

do they mean anything or

[vagrant dirge]

Rock band

[merry sorrel]

Rock band harmonix? The video game?

[vagrant dirge]

Basically all the names of the gateways are associated with the certain region

[safe loom]

local things to the country/region

hyacinth is an australian flower

they have been using region based flowers

but i guess bob likes acdc and since hes from australia decided to use acdc

acdc is also an australian band

@vagrant dirge hyacinth pays 36c/24hr for static

acdc pays 24c/24hr

acdc

hyacinth

[vagrant dirge]

Yeah

I'm going to stick to hyacinth for now, unless I can get ACDC to start on my main laptop, so then I can see which one has more frequent jobs

[woven sage]

I haven't even seen acdc yet

[upbeat shuttle]

hopefully doesn't come with any potential legal issues though

[safe loom]

well you don’t exactly get to choose

you either get one or the other

[elder plume]

It pays like 2 dollars a month even with gigabit internet.

[safe loom]

why live

when you suffer

[chilly peak]

ehh i dont see it having issues

[upbeat shuttle]

it's backend stuff so hopefully not

[naive lava]

i ain't even sure that both of them will get the job

[robust creek]

they pay 30% of the traffic they actually use too

i told it on a review on trustpilot and they reported me and took the review down even after showing proofs

trustpilot trash

[rocky orbit]

When Trustpilot file a report on you,

They have to make sure that you know how to actually write a review, that means professionalism, helpful, cooperative.

👍

Next time when you submit a review, read Trustpilot review guide first

But if the company file a report on you

Good luck
(well, it really boiled down to: It was a genuine dissatisfaction, not a bot, passed the review guide; This is how I managed to keep my 4000~ characters 1 star review on Salad even after getting reported by the company)

[robust creek]

you did a bad review about salad? i did no reviews on it

[rocky orbit]

Yes I did!!!

and like

7 others 1 star reviewers get flagged by the company

[robust creek]

i will never understand why companies fights bad reviews

[upbeat shuttle]

because it makes them look bad? lol

[robust creek]

but if are geniune, they should keep

[upbeat shuttle]

it still makes them look bad

[robust creek]

they should improve to avoid more of them

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah good companies will respond to that feedback and try to improve as a result, but other companies can just take the route of silencing that negative feedback

it is much easier to just silence people than to make things better

[robust creek]

thats censorship and unfair

[upbeat shuttle]

indeed

[gleaming shell]

highest 24h ive ever got from bandwidth

[patent fulcrum]

"He's earning, shut it down"

[gleaming shell]

well

[patent fulcrum]

Ain't no way

[peak terrace]

what

this is the best bandwidth sharing i have had in ages

looooads of clients all using the same amount

actually most of the IPs are from the same region

so probably the same client distributed over many IPs

[waxen pollen]

Is salad dying for those that provide their resources in the UK? BW i'm struggling to even do 1 $1 a day and GPU containers i'm doing below $3 a day now. This was from $3 to $10 a day BW for months and months. and $9 GPU containers that i was getting when i first started a month ago

And yes, i do realise that, that used to be a heck of a lot and still is for thoose that don't get that much. But that was the norm for the UK for a long long time

[peak terrace]

right now it's really really good but it it super rare

and i think this is just for me

[waxen pollen]

i got $2 yesterday, the first time it's got that for BW in a while, but at 2am last night i lost it

[peak terrace]

i downgraded to 1.1.8 and it is doing this now but I think it has absolutely nothing to do with me downgrading

[waxen pollen]

I was going to buy another broadband package from subnet and sky to put them on my mini PCs, but now i'm debating on if we'll be getting pittance per day before those contracts are up.

it's starting to become a risk which ever since i've been using salad i've never though of o.O

it's been like the traffic has been shoved somewhere else now.

which i guess is possible with other areas being opened up

and 1 of my devices hasn't had sgs in a few days now either. wonder if a reinstall may help

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd strongly recommend against getting new internet connections just for Salad.

Bandwidth Sharing earnings are so volatile and unguaranteed that you'd be risking paying for your 12+ month contract out of pocket

[waxen pollen]

Yeah thats what i've been considering. This is the first time it's been more of a risk, before i used to earn way more than any costs. I wish salad would pick up again. It's such a shame

Plus more so with only having 100upload, be different if i had 1 gig upload. Though if i actually got traffic that is

[upbeat shuttle]

salad's usage maxes out at like 200-300 anyways

[serene grotto]

my sgs-client isnt running on my second pc, which is funny cuz thats the one on 24/7 with ethernet

any fixes?

it has had salad installed for a few days now

[waxen pollen]

Would salad run 2 or 3 nvidia cards at the same time on the same rig? With them also being different cards, ie 3080, 3090

[waxen pollen]

even a reinstall hasn't got sgs working on my second device

[peak terrace]

just give it like 12 hours

this is what I do

usually works if you give it enough time

[waxen pollen]

yeahs it's been a few days now

[serene grotto]

System does report SGS transmitting data

[peak terrace]

then i do not know how to help

[serene grotto]

But it's not currently running

Used to get $10/day just bandwidth

[waxen pollen]

Yeah it's weird. It has happened before where i never got sgs for a week before it came back. It's odd

[serene grotto]

Now can't get a workload

[waxen pollen]

yeah same

[peak terrace]

it is dying down a bit

[upbeat shuttle]

For mining, maybe
For containers, not yet

and I honestly doubt it'll be supported, at least for quite a while

[waxen pollen]

ahh i see, so they have to be in separate devices then?

IE in different PCs

that kinda sucks

[peak terrace]

nvm he alive again

[waxen pollen]

i'm assuming that you can still have two GPUs on the same account though. if they are in 2 different PCs

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah

[peak terrace]

he needs cpr

[peak terrace]

been alright today

better than usual for the month

[serene grotto]

Think I got a bandwidth job

Got a spike around 5am

[stiff wedge]

No job for 2 weeks xD xD

Static pay on top

🔝

[earnest flower]

hey whenever i reset my ip it goes to 65 risk in ipquality, then instantly after 2 mins it goes to 93 high risk
what do i do

[robust creek]

pc rebooted for uknown reasons even if i had updates disabled, luckily i got sgs back after 10-20 minutes

[robust creek]

finally traffic

[peak terrace]

my internet died

sadness

[pulsar arrow]

my powers out

[peak terrace]

sgs is starting up instantly now

this is good

[peak terrace]

for me at least

i am running sgs on my pc and my server

time for double static pay 💪

[stiff wedge]

Let’s go

Gimme the money

💰

[onyx fiber]

man no sgs client for 2 weeks

and offical support said wait bit later

[pulsar arrow]

never thought id see this low of a earnings again

[gleaming shell]

man this gives me flashbacks

[robust creek]

today is thursday, very risky day.. an update could be released later... please no

[stiff wedge]

Nvm bro salad is being a doodoo

[tardy swan]

at least salad didnt cut your static pay into 4

[peak terrace]

currently getting double static pay

[robust creek]

uk static increased or you run 2 devices?

[gleaming shell]

At least salad didn't die without a visible reason for the 16th time

[peak terrace]

2 devices

[robust creek]

k

[peak terrace]

l

[stiff wedge]

its back again !!

[stiff wedge]

do you also use the thinggy

whats it called

[robust creek]

?

[stiff wedge]

container

thing

[robust creek]

no

[stiff wedge]

yours look so unstable lol

its like

you get a shit job

and then a good one

and the back to a shit one

[robust creek]

i wont make my pc loud and hot just for some pennies a day, not worth

[stiff wedge]

yeah same

[robust creek]

it was sucking all of my gpu power one night, you saw 100% gpu used and pc was lagging, i stopped it and said bye

0,70$ a day for this kind of thing no thanks

I KNEW IT! ANOTHER UPDATE....

[harsh badge]

Update again 😂😂😂

[robust creek]

anoying..

also why tf it downloads automatically? let us choose if download or no

[stiff wedge]

nah i aint updating that

i just got a good job

[lone solstice]

Salad should only download the update but shouldn't force it on you, there should be a button for you to cancel the update

[robust creek]

i don't want to download it either

[lone solstice]

Welp

[robust creek]

sometimes it bugs and it updates anyways without permission

and stays stuck on "installation finished!"

you have to click finish to open salad

thats broken, we need a way to prevent the download

[harsh badge]

I’m still on 1.2.5

[shrewd terrace]

instant sgs with new update

[gleaming shell]

still no sgs with the new update...

for some reason im not getting sgs instantly on my second laptop anymore, it takes days

but i get it on my main laptop instantly

(not a good thing, id rather have no sgs on main laptop than have it die without a visible reason)

but i dont have sgs on my second laptop rn and i have a 12 cent cpu conatiner and sgs on main laptop so i might as well keep it on bc something is better than nothing

[gleaming shell]

is anyone in the us experiencing sgs dying in the middle of a job? or just me
i know sgs dies when cpu usage is very high but mine dies while cpu is idle

been happening for months now for me

like, its not just the job ending, sgs client literally closes DURING a job and dosent start back up again until i restart the laptop, and on second laptop its taking days to start back up now

[elder plume]

Fellas, looks like we got a big one

[stiff wedge]

Wtf is vmmenwsl

[wheat bronze]

Why am I not getting any jobs?

Stuck on $0.00 from last 17 hrs

[frigid reef]

its vmmen but more funny :D

[robust creek]

why only a little spyke

[stiff wedge]

then whats vmmen 😭

is it container stuff

[frigid reef]

yes

[hollow vortex]

thats just trash salad in the workings . Mine has dissapeared once . for no reason.

[elder plume]

BRUH it took 32 gigs of my ram only for 1.77 a day wtf

😭😭

[upbeat shuttle]

sounds a whole lot like not bandwidth sharing

[safe loom]

[frigid reef]

[peak terrace]

we ballin

wit da double static pay

[gleaming shell]

does lotus gateway have static pay?

[frigid reef]

ok and?

btw anyone know what data amount the BidirThroughput is in logs

[upbeat shuttle]

answered in --

[frigid reef]

[peak terrace]

my best guess is bits per second

if i divide the number of every bidirthroughput value by 1024^2 i get a value that closely resembles my upload speed in megabits per second

but this is just a guess and it's not exactly 1:1

[frigid reef]

already answered

[peak terrace]

what is that even meant to mean

[frigid reef]

aka ozua already awswered in --

[peak terrace]

i am confused

what does -- mean

where is --

[woven sage]

prob the secret private channel

[safe loom]

got some demand

usage graph for the mentally deranged ones

[peak terrace]

i like the bit where my bandwidth was sharing and we bandwidth sharing'd all over the place

[vagrant dirge]

Damn your static pay is higher than normal

[peak terrace]

that is the static pay I get usually

for the UK

[vagrant dirge]

I normally get 0.35c/15 mins in the AU

[peak terrace]

you mean 0.0035?

[vagrant dirge]

Yeah

It used to be 0.0075

[peak terrace]

in the UK it's like 0.00375

[vagrant dirge]

Well, a few weeks ago

[civic fern]

This is the moment that ozua became rules-and-info

[vagrant dirge]

Cyph is getting 0.005

[peak terrace]

my static pay at the moment

for 2 bw sharing machines

[vagrant dirge]

Yeah, but that's two machines.

[peak terrace]

yes

therefore divide by 2

you get 1 machine

[vagrant dirge]

Not really.

[peak terrace]

why not really

[vagrant dirge]

If you get jobs that use up most of your internets capacity, the other machine will not earn much.

[peak terrace]

yes

[vagrant dirge]

So maybe 1.5x

[peak terrace]

the reason I have 2 machines is i get better opportunities for bandwidth sharing

no

[vagrant dirge]

True

[peak terrace]

we are talking about static pay

[vagrant dirge]

Oh, I thought you were talking about overall earnings.

[peak terrace]

this is when 1 machine saturates my internet, it would be the same as both machines

because there is a hard limit for my bandwidth

the only real reasons I run 2 machines is for better job opportunities and double static pay

[vagrant dirge]

I could run 2 machines, but most of the time the other one connects to ACDC, and that gateways pays ass

[peak terrace]

mine are connected to rose and rustica

rustica usually doesn't pay that well but it doesn't bother me as i still get paid more static pay

[vagrant dirge]

I've never gotten any jobs yet from ACDC, even though I've only had connected to it for 2 days in total.

[peak terrace]

i have had maybe 2 from rustica

[vagrant dirge]

ACDC is relatively new, might give it some time before I try it again.

[peak terrace]

it has been alright so far

it has picked up lots of high paying bandwidth jobs

mostly akamai and fastly

[dusty abyss]

how do i fix this ?

[peak terrace]

turn your router off for 30 minutes

you should get a new ip address

[peak terrace]

my server died

wtf happened here

sgs killed itself

and i had such good jobs

[clever hollow]

ip*

[peak terrace]

?

i restarted salad and it lives again

but now my jobs are gone

very fun indeed

[upbeat shuttle]

oh cool i got decent throughput

25c spike

[frigid reef]

hey give me the bandwidth :( (what gateway is it)

[upbeat shuttle]

not sure if i cba to remote into all my pcs to check 😩

actually kinda afraid I'd somehow mess something up by remoting in

I'll check tomorrow

i should be asleep rn

[frigid reef]

its not fucking going away and im on gateway two

fuck off

[upbeat shuttle]

i know my main pc is on 3 and got some mid bandwidth

better than nothing i guess

below 100mb past 30s kinda range

[frigid reef]

WAIT NO, gateway 2 is actually getting usage

NO WAY

[upbeat shuttle]

god this is gonna be the new OZI

woah

rare 2 W

i'm still waiting to see anyone else with uk-bV

[upbeat shuttle]

i think mine was 2gb

nice

brb a couple hours

[frigid reef]

[opal galleon]

any changes yet to liberspeed

[frigid reef]

Yes, salad looked into it and found Libre speed to be the most accurate amongst most chefs, though keep in mind salad uses more then what you see in logs to determine if you are a good enough node to chop bandwidth. Though even then salad does have plans to measure bandwidth in house but for now, Libre speed will do

[hollow vortex]

Accurate within 200mb's both ways, sometimes way more. smh. Wonder what branch of tree they hit on the way down.

[frigid reef]

again, with most chefs, ofc some chefs with have issues, but with most it works fine

compared to other bandwidth testing tools

[hollow vortex]

I'll runany bw tool and get better results 99.99999% more accurate then shytspeed they use

[frigid reef]

ok anyway, thats what salad has said, and again they are the ones that have the people all over the world to test with

and not just you

[gleaming shell]

Oh well

[hollow vortex]

yeah, unfortantly people are very untrustworthy 🙂

[serene grotto]

finally caught bandwidth

[gleaming shell]

let me guess youre in the uk

[safe loom]

that bump in static pay is because i have a cpu container

uses a teeny bit of ram for 10 cents

fine by me

no complaints it’s still free money

[serene grotto]

#show-off-your-earnings message

What I used to get

Miss it

[gleaming shell]

i miss my 2 dollars per day from running 2 cpu containers while they were in beta

[serene grotto]

oh yeah i remember those

still glad bandwidth making a comeback though

was $0.30/day before

[safe loom]

restarted my pc for cod

istg if i lose all those jobs

[quiet gazelle]

70 dollar mw2 dlc

[safe loom]

dlc?

no im playing the mw3 beta

[quiet gazelle]

exactly

70 dollar mw2 dlc

[safe loom]

its not a dlc

and the beta is free

😭

[quiet gazelle]

it is pretty much

[harsh badge]

Massive spike tonight for a little while

[tardy swan]

2 people got over 40 cents

Damn

[gleaming shell]

ill get 40 cent in 15 minute earnings one day...

[frigid reef]

no you wont

[serene grotto]

got nearly $5/last 24 hours

just bandwidth

[pulsar arrow]

my sgs is fucked for some reason and this error is popping up every few minutes

[peak terrace]

it seems like UK bandwidth sharing has recovered

it is as reliable and profitable as it was about 2 months ago

took a little while for SGS to start after my PC crashed

[peak terrace]

it is relying very heavily on just one connection

this is scaring me

[tardy swan]

how to lose trust as a company:

[harsh badge]

My current upload is 350mbps 😂😂 not been that for a while!

Let’s hope it can break the 500-600 mark 😂😂

Ramping up

[harsh badge]

That’s to fastly, mines connected to that too.

[peak terrace]

what ISP do you have?

[harsh badge]

Youfibre

[peak terrace]

i want fibre internet

not even just for salad

though that would be a nice benefit

[broken crater]

yeah same

😩

[peak terrace]

it has sucked up this much so far today

[broken crater]

lol damn

how long have you had it running today

[peak terrace]

all day

[broken crater]

ah

[frigid reef]

yooo gang gang

[broken crater]

yeah that maeks sense

@peak terrace whats your internet speed

[frigid reef]

rose gateway?

[peak terrace]

150 down 30 up

[robust creek]

...

[peak terrace]

yes

[broken crater]

oh

3gig up and down here

i guess there's diminishing returns past a certain point

[peak terrace]

as far as i'm aware salad pays linearly for bandwidth sharing

[robust creek]

linearly?

[peak terrace]

you can calculate it with a funny y=mx+c graph where c is the static pay and m is the $/gb

[broken crater]

interesting

well im definitely not seeing that 😭

[peak terrace]

because salad won't saturate 3 gigabits

i have never seen salad use more than 300mbps upload in this server

[broken crater]

yeah okay

[frigid reef]

https://tenor.com/view/plink-cat-meme-stare-staring-gif-27529560

[robust creek]

i have gigabit connection but the maximum i saw them usingwas 100mbps for a very small amount of time

[peak terrace]

with 30mbps it is more or less always saturated when it's strong

[frigid reef]

my upload is 110, and i have seen it use 110

[peak terrace]

so it stays flat at my full 30mbps

[robust creek]

its because you are in uk, me no

[frigid reef]

:3

[peak terrace]

perks of being bri'ish

[robust creek]

they should give traffic to other countries too

[frigid reef]

good bandwidth sharing on salad, thats it, nothing else

[frigid reef]

:O thell that to the clients

[peak terrace]

what country are you in

[robust creek]

there are no good reasons to be italian

[frigid reef]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-brian-gif-13873621

[peak terrace]

shoutout italy

companies are not interested in italian CDN nodes

[robust creek]

why not making price higher for uk bw aso lients will buy traffic of other countries because will be cheaper? 👁️

[robust creek]

because italy s*cks

[peak terrace]

why did you censor that

[frigid reef]

because the reason they need the uk bandwidth is to access the limited content that is only available in the uk

[robust creek]

i remember writing bad words on other servers and getting warned

[frigid reef]

and we have a decent amount of it in the uk

thx bbc :3

[robust creek]

uk has 999999999999999 things and italy 0?

[peak terrace]

my xiaomi committed die before I could experience it destroying itself

shame tbf

it was a poco f2 pro, i enjoyed using it very much

i loved not having a notch or holepunch

it is dying

not complaining though

today has been great

[gleaming shell]

@pulsar arrow @agile shard NO WAY 20 CENT SPIKE

First spike is 0.101 and the one in the right is 0.211smth

[harsh badge]

Salad is using 530mbps for me right now. (Upload)

8 gig symmetrical line

It has dropped down again to around 380

[upbeat shuttle]

damn nice

[serene grotto]

mine died today

[agile shard]

hey! go back to #531632090635042841

h

[upbeat shuttle]

sexist floppa 😱

[agile shard]

HEY NO WAIT

NUH UH

THAT WASNT MY FAUTL

you're clearly named "chef-posting"

and

mhm

yes

now go back to the kitchen

well, "the kitchen", not the kitchen

[robust creek]

thanks for the traffic

[serene grotto]

how did you make your glasswire like that in the free version

[peak terrace]

i dunno

it just installed like that

it amuses me

[serene grotto]

lucky

might install cracked pro version idk

[rocky orbit]

Thank god for paywalling dark mode

[serene grotto]

fr light mode hurts my eyes

[peak terrace]

i am shifting full salad duties from my pc to my server

so i can actually turn my pc off at night

[robust creek]

to the people in uk : question, since salad pays very low per GB, how much GB did salad used when you earned 10$ a day? 10TB? XD

[peak terrace]

let me do some math

Assuming you do not earn from static pay you would use up 1929GB of bandwidth per day for $10 a day

Assuming you are earning static pay at the standard $0.00375/15mins for the UK then you would use up 1859GB per day of bandwidth for $10 per day

this is using data I have observed myself

[robust creek]

ah

lots of data

[gleaming shell]

i think pay per gigabyte used is around half a cent in the us? and pay per gigabyte shared is a bit more than .25 cents

maybe

i just took the last like 80 to 90 days from my spreadsheet and slapped it in a calculator so idk

nvm

like 60ish

[serene grotto]

i used to get $10 per day

it was like 500gb maybe

[peak terrace]

i also got like $6 a day with about that much

it was in the earlier days of sgs

[robust creek]

sgs starts instantly on uk? italy no takes several hours

[harsh badge]

Yeah I was around 920gb uploaded per $10

[robust creek]

its very low

they making millions

[pulsar arrow]

it's meant to be cheap to attract customers

[robust creek]

i think they are selling at least 10 times more than what they give to us

otherwise it wouldn't be a 85 million $ company

[pulsar arrow]

afaik salad does not take a cut of the earnings

until the shop

[robust creek]

they take fees

[pulsar arrow]

it's worth 85 million because investors put money into it

not because they earn 85 million

[robust creek]

ah how much they eared

earned

[pulsar arrow]

I don't know off the top of my head

[robust creek]

https://getlatka.com/companies/salad-technologies

[pulsar arrow]

likely not a profit

just revenue

[robust creek]

it's written everything almost on that site

[frigid reef]

:O its about 2 years out of date though in revenue reports

also ofc it wont be making profit yet, they are still building salad

they have had over 20m in funding, give it a couple years and i belive they will make more then the funding they have got

unless they get more

[robust creek]

hiring more people means they need more people and earns more (maybe)

[frigid reef]

they went on a massive hiring round after the last investment round to build the containers and everything around that

due to crypto dying

pretty sure it was rushed a bit

[robust creek]

we still are forced to do mining when containers are not there, i don't understand why (GPU)

[upbeat shuttle]

it's likely just because they've prioritised other stuff over letting us disable mining workloads

we don't really know much about what they're working on next, so maybe there really is something much more important that they're working on

[frigid reef]

yeah what they are working on does change depending on potential clients

[robust creek]

they surely are pretty active, they release 9999999 updates a month

[upbeat shuttle]

i guess they could also fear it causes them more annoyances than is worth it, with idiots disabling mining workloads, then complaining about not earning anything

.. though that could be solved by very clearly explaining what the toggle does

welp it is what it is

anyways bandwidth

[broken crater]

it should be really easy to implement lol

[upbeat shuttle]

i'll check out what my pcs have shared lately

[broken crater]

bandwidth sharing is going crazy lately

for me

some actual returns 😳

[robust creek]

what they could do is make sgs start earlier, that's the only think stopping me from updating, if they want users with up to date devices they need to do that

whats the point of update if i lose sgs and stop earn for the next 6 hours if i'm lucky or weeks

[frigid reef]

updates are mostly for containers anyway

[robust creek]

then let us disable auto download

because i've heard people with the same bug (update by itsef without consent and sgs lost)

[broken crater]

i don't think they have much of a say in this

i assume there's a queue and you go back to the end of it when you relaunch

[robust creek]

sgs spots shoudn't be lost when you update, wait at least a day before giving it out to someone else..

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah no that's not how it works

[broken crater]

but their clients need someone else

[upbeat shuttle]

you snooze you lose

[robust creek]

stop releasing updates then xd or make "salad bandwith.exe and salad mining.exe

[upbeat shuttle]

past week bw shared (just upload);
main pc - uk-3, 224gb
second pc - uk-1, 900gb
laptop 1 - got fucking logged out for the past two weeks
laptop 2 - uk-3, 1.2tb

[robust creek]

same ip?

[upbeat shuttle]

interesting to note, salad has been running the longest on laptop 2 > second pc > main pc

probably

[robust creek]

you using multiple gateways

[broken crater]

does salad work in vms

[robust creek]

for some reasons i'm not able to do that anymore, maybe second gateway got ripped

[upbeat shuttle]

basically no

[frigid reef]

what gateways is each one running

[broken crater]

aw

[frigid reef]

ik your not gonna check as you lazy

[upbeat shuttle]

read my message, but again

blind

[frigid reef]

https://tenor.com/view/legallyblind-blind-gif-7930225

[robust creek]

either works 1 pc or the other, not anymore both at same time, sgs being lazy

so wait, salad investors right now are in loss?

[upbeat shuttle]

i was about to kill and update salad on laptop 1 because i thought it definitely wouldn't get any jobs, but it just got uk-1 right after i logged back in

😅

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah that's how investing in startups usually work

investors give moneys to the startup, the startup makes something that earns money, the investors gradually make their money back with a lil on top

[robust creek]

sgs started instantly?

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

[robust creek]

ah but uk rip

[upbeat shuttle]

:)

looks like the demand is back

i saw some meme about itv or something streaming all of harry potter again, because it's 'that time of year'

idk all i care about is that there'll be more bw demand

[robust creek]

rip other countries meanwhile

[upbeat shuttle]

it sure is unfortunate

[robust creek]

i have my gigabig conn there availableto salad clients 24/7

use it!

[harsh badge]

My sgs uptime is around 16 days .

[robust creek]

i even have static ip, should be good because it means that it never disconnects

[hollow vortex]

yeah if you see my previous post i did the math , it was .005 months ago.

[peak terrace]

Takes a while sometimes

[rocky sun]

HOW DO YOU ENABLE BANDWITH THING

HELPPP PLSSS

I DONTT HAVE IT IN SETTINGS OR SMTH

😭

[uncut bluff]

what country are you in?

[rocky sun]

nz

[uncut bluff]

unfortunately that country is not supported for bandwidth sharing

[rocky sun]

yo

what if i use vpn

[uncut bluff]

won’t work

[rocky sun]

whuy

[uncut bluff]

because if you use a vpn the ip address wont be a residential ip which you need for bandwidth sharing to work

[rocky sun]

oh

[light isle]

do you know if bandwidth sharing works with starlink?

[peak terrace]

i would guess the ping is too high

[light isle]

I'll let you know on Wednesday

I know the ping is higher then normal Internet because it connects to a satellite

But the ping from satellite to satellite is quite low

[peak terrace]

me and the boys smashing together space debris put up there by elon musk

[light isle]

I played on a game server that is hosted in Australia with people from the US and Canada and we're on starlink with good ping

some people with starlink here have 30ms ping to the satellite then like 200ms to the us for example and thats really good because normal internet is like 10ms to the datacenter then 250ms to the us

[shrewd terrace]

india when...

[upbeat shuttle]

still in testing

[broken crater]

😔 back to normal

[peak terrace]

for some reason my pc has decided to negotiate on 100mbps for ethernet

fun

[naive lava]

already exists

not fully released yet

just wait

ez pz

[shrewd terrace]

ik

but bro

im not even getting static anymore

..

[robust creek]

static pay for uk gone to 0,20 a day?

[serene grotto]

my sgs dead again

nothing in 2 days because i had to restart multiple times to get the BLOODY CONTAINER ENVIRONMENT WORKING WHEN I HAVE WSL AND VIRTUALISTATION ENABLED (for over a week) ONLY FOR IT TO SAY ITS DISABLED AGAIN TODAY WHEN I FINALLY HAD HOPE YESTERDAY

[gleaming shell]

average salad moment

[gleaming shell]

[serene grotto]

[gleaming shell]

[safe loom]

doubt it

@mighty light do you bw share?

get added to the thread

[mighty light]

no

[safe loom]

ok

[civic fern]

lol, even when modifying i don't obtain anything

at this point i gave up, it's been more than 3 months since i had my last sgs

yup

i have gpu containers from time to time though

so it's fine

thanks, u too man

my upload speed is capped at 20mbps

so i can't really compete anyway

[harsh badge]

Average price per KWH in the uk is around 27p. Mine is far from expensive 😂😂

That’s my savings vs “price cap” nearly £50 saving on electric alone (can’t get a graph like that with the gas) more if gas is included. 😊 I’ve never had it so good 😂😂

[peak terrace]

meanwhile I cry with my 1060 6g

[dusty abyss]

how tf

yall gettin bw\

[frigid reef]

I enabled bw sharing, I wait

I save the king

:D days work in Britain

[hollow vortex]

but salad says it reliable and acurate for most speed tests there are ways around it but i wont promote that kind of stuff or insist or help anyone with it 🙂

[gleaming shell]

me when we arent allowed to fix something ourselves that they wont fix

[civic fern]

i know

i know the ways

but nothing will change anyway

[peak terrace]

weez nuts

i am currently bandwidth sharing with two low paying jobs on two pcs

we ball

my pc is transferring kilobytes

my server is transferring a handful of megabytes

[peak terrace]

chrysanthemum is currently brrrrr

[rocky orbit]

I thought chrysanthemum was drug name

Or is it?

🤨

[peak terrace]

tf no

its a flower

chrysanthemum

and also the name of sgs gateway 3 for the UK

i am now experiencing the benefit of running two sgs machines on the same IP

one is dying down and the other just picked up now to compensate

[rocky orbit]

It's just feel like one of those "methylene chloride", "trioxide", "bicarbonate" or "Tritium"

[peak terrace]

3 of those can't even be used as drugs

i do not see the relation between them and chrysanthemum

[gleaming shell]

man
i wanna restart my second laptop for the hopes of getting daffodil gateway
but at the same time it super risky as it will probably be smth i will heavily regret

fuck it, my sgs is gonna occasionally change gateways, not gonna risk my sgs

[tardy swan]

the hell is this person uploading?

[upbeat shuttle]

stuff?

the download comes from other hosts btw

track sgs-client's usage, not the gateway's usage

[tardy swan]

[peak terrace]

chrysanthemum gateway has climed up to my 2nd favourite gateway

and could be my 1st favourite gateway

if it proves to be consistent for me

[upbeat shuttle]

which one's that

i only work in uk-1/2/3/bV

[peak terrace]

3

1/rose is my bestie

3/chrysanthymum is my second

you seem like you remember intel processor generations with numbers instead of architecture names

dual bw sharing coming in clutch

keeping my network saturated even if one dies down a bit

quite good tbf

it started for the first time on my server and went straight to work

[gleaming shell]

is there a way to make sgs use daffodil gateway

or is it just random

bc daffodil seems to pay me the best but i keep getting it on my unreliable main laptop

[gleaming shell]

nvm got daffodil on second laptop

[onyx fiber]

some people are lucky

while me been waiting 3-4 weeks

to sgs client to run

[tardy swan]

What country

And what speeds

@onyx fiber

[onyx fiber]

20 upload

decently high paying job on dandelion gateway (rare)

even getting any jobs on dandelion geateway (rare)

[subtle swallow]

librespeed is giving me 2 very bad servers and is being stupid. bye bandwith.
(Atlanta, not even trying on download)
Virginia, not even trying on upload)

Can I just get a good server for once? Or change your provider?

[upbeat shuttle]

#community-support message

[subtle swallow]

ah so librespeed is doing stuff to mess with yall? never trusted them.

proof #932057 speedtest is better

[upbeat shuttle]

that's not what i said at all

[subtle swallow]

well it summarizes it pretty well i say

[upbeat shuttle]

no it doesn't

[gleaming shell]

libreshart

[subtle swallow]

lol

[gleaming shell]

yeah virginia servers dont even try to upload, and the only way is to do the --upload-size thing but then that would break the salad tos

so were left with no option 23ruy8a983e8yuhrf93y7urf

[subtle swallow]

i used to go ~3 tries again to get atlanta but all servers went bye on download

[gleaming shell]

yeah sometimes all the servers are just complete shit

flashbacks when i used to lose sgs bc my cpu was maxed so i restarted my laptop and screamed for the next 30 minute about how atlanta servers gave shit download, new york gave shit upload, and virginia didnt even try uploading, and ended up giving up bc i wasted 30 minutes restarting my laptop just to get shitty speedtests that got even worse every time i restarted

[safe loom]

librespeed is an open-source by like 1 or a few devs

god knows why salad chose it

since it actually sucks

and there are better open-source legal-free speedtests out there

but this is what salad wants

[vagrant dirge]

Why does this keep on happening

[robust creek]

i wasn't getting any job from a whole day so i tried to update, as i thought, sgs is not starting... thank you salad you're always the same and never change

how can your users be happy and motivated to update? if it was an update a month or 2 ok but you release 90 a month, stop

[civic fern]

If salad would update to the latest version of librespeed, it would work no problem

I tried already

Speedtest goes as smooth as... Idk, water flowing inside a pipe

[rocky orbit]

there's a problem

Last update was one year ago

[civic fern]

I KNOW

[robust creek]

sgs never started back btw

[near karma]

does "chopping power affect bandwidth sharing payouts?" considering nothing there is bandwidth sharing specific (like the hardware recommendation) other than the video streaming option

[upbeat shuttle]

mm not really

unless if there's something that is about bandwidth sharing

also don't misunderstand what that 'chopping power' thing is - it's just a guide to tell people what they should probably do to earn the most with salad

your 'score' doesn't actually directly impact your earnings

[near karma]

ah i see, i assumed it was some sort of rating system for jobs an whatever

[shrewd terrace]

only some servers have the shit upload speed issue

if you dont want to break tos you can just block the shit servers in your hosts file

[robust creek]

sgs definitelly dead and not coming back

[gleaming shell]

Me every other day:

[ocean birch]

not enable why and no containerand no sgs clients

[serene grotto]

back to earning on bandwidth lets go 🙂

[ocean birch]

how

[gleaming shell]

mostly luck

[ocean birch]

Ok

[serene grotto]

It's low earnings though only about 80gb last 3 hours

[peak terrace]

not been too bad with 2 machines

making about $2 a day with bw sharing

[hollow vortex]

lmao .000007 cents

[naive lava]

how do u check the version of librespeed and if it is upto date or not

[shrewd terrace]

new gateway

canda

[gleaming shell]

Let me guess you're not gonna get any jobs from it

[shrewd terrace]

yop

0.39static pay

second laptop is not mine so I don’t earn from it :(

at least I know I can run 2 laptops here in Canada now

[gleaming shell]

Man
I only get static pay from daffodil gateway and that's only sometimes

But I guess it's not guaranteed so

oh you're a line chef i see

https://dontasktoask.com/

[vagrant dirge]

?

[robust creek]

omg sgs is back thank god

but i lost lot of hours of earnings

[civic fern]

gg

[robust creek]

it's hard to get sgs to me that i have gigabit connection, think you that you have 20mbps

[tardy swan]

i got my speeds back

[gleaming shell]

wtf, if you have 2 sgs clients running, and you stop one of them, does the other one also lose its job? This is around the second time i experienced smth like this, idk if its just a coincidence or smth but i stopped salad on my main laptop and a new sgs log gets created on second laptop and the logs say smth along the lines of ending sgs with user request -1

this is i think the second time smth like this has happened and idk if its justt a coincidence or if you stop sgs on one laptop it ill restart on a second onw

i just lost my high paying job, was earning a stable 1 cent per 15 minutes

Man I really hope salad doesn't restart sgs on a second laptop if you end it on a main laptop, bc it has happened twice now where sgs restarts and I lose my job after I end SGS on main laptop, and from the main logs both of the times were for the same reason

And I had a 1 cent per 15 minutes job overnight and it got killed, and now it's back at the double digit kilobytes and gone to shit

Please tell me this is just a coincidence man

[upbeat shuttle]

lol that'd suck

[gleaming shell]

man, not sure if it was just a coincidence but rip 1 cent per 15m job

i wanna purposefully kill my sgs this time to test it but

yeah fuck it, im gonna purposefully kill sgs on my main laptop once i get home to test if ending sgs on a laptop causes a second laptop to restart sgs and lose its job

[naive lava]

if u feel your life is hard, remember this guy

[gleaming shell]

ok, i have sgs on a different ip, im gonna kill it and rd on second laptop

[gleaming shell]

yep, it created another log on second laptop not that long after i killed sgs on my main laptop, and the logs said sgs was ending, and same exit code

yeah im just gonna permanently like, quit salad on my main laptop and only use it on my second laptop now]

i cant confirm it, but im very sure sgs restarts on my second laptop if i stop salad on my main laptop with sgs running too, few days ago this happened, just happened again this morning, and i just killed sgs again on purpose to see if sgs would restart on second laptop and it happened again

[robust creek]

oh no today is Thursday.. they probably will release a new update...

[light isle]

https://tenor.com/view/2020-everything-is-fine-supersaf-im-fine-fire-gif-18684572

[gleaming shell]

Well I would have nothing to lose now
Rest in piece 1 cent job that actually lasted
I'm gonna assume it died bc of me ending sgs in my main laptop and it restarting on second laptop

[light isle]

welp

[robust creek]

my sgs started after 14 hours of complete inactivity

[gleaming shell]

Anyways, man those were like the only times I've ever gotten a constant high paying job, and it died bc of salad ending sgs in other devices (strong feeling) or even then it's salad restarting my sgs

[peak terrace]

this has happened to me twice, i was running sgs on my pc and on my server, my server rebooted itself for an update and sgs killed itself on my pc at the exact same time

i still run both because it's rare and i get double static pay but it has happened

once it happened when i had a really good job

currently both are running together with good jobs

fighting over my internet bandwidth but i would rather they do that than i have no jobs at all

[gleaming shell]

man wtf is happening with salad man, there goes my high paying bw job ovrenight that only happens like once in a lifetime killed bc of whatever salad is doing with killing sgs on other laptops when killed on one

imma just permanently stop using salad on my main laptop bc apparently it can affect others now...

what is salad coming up with man, they do this shit instead of acknowledging that librespeed is shit

[peak terrace]

standard

[naive lava]

either they actually don't have another feasible option, or they're just being dumb relieing on librespeed's services

[gleaming shell]

man just seeing this pisses me off

[peak terrace]

salad has fallen off compared to how it was like 6 months ago

[gleaming shell]

literally 80 percent of my sgs deaths are from some shit salad pulls off, eg ending my sgs without a visible reason or shit like this where sgs restarts bc sgs ends on ANOTHER laptop

only like 20 percent of my sgs deaths are actual deaths caused by me stopping salad/restartinglaptop/router

[gleaming shell]

i misssed the container beta days where i earned an easy 2 dollars per day and didnt have to deal with salad pulling off shit like this

oh welp, i guess imma permanently quit using salad on my main laptop now bc for whatever the fuck reason it can affect other laptops now

also, im noticing that it ends sgs on my second laptop EVEN IF MY MAIN LAPTOP IS ON A DIFFERENT IP, i cant confirm it tho but i think it still restarted sgs on my second laptop and killed my job bc i ended sgs on my main laptop that was on a different ip

anyways, ive disabled startup for salad bc im no longer using salad on my main laptop until salad fixes their shit or makes a better system

[rocky orbit]

@gleaming shell , the world is not ending

I repeat

The world is not ending

The world is perfectly fine

[gleaming shell]

im just pissed man, why would salad do that

well, whatever. i quit salad on my main laptop anyways

[rocky orbit]

And start chopping on those Chromeboo-

[gleaming shell]

too bad all i have is a school chromebook and they block everythinglol

[peak terrace]

its funny, people complain when the service that gives them free money stops

like i get why you are frustrated but beggars can't be choosers

[gleaming shell]

Would be better if atleast an announcement was made

But then ppl would find a way to bypass it

I wouldn't be so pissed if salad atleast let us know about it

[serene grotto]

fr my decently paying job is gone

it was constant

last 12 hours completely gone and back to static pay

[naive lava]

yes

totally fine

totally-

[naive lava]

i would like to request you to chill the fuck out

[gleaming shell]

i am very chill

[naive lava]

no u aren't

writing paragraphs in a vegetable server everyday is abnormal

[gleaming shell]

wha
paragraphs?

[naive lava]

eee

[gleaming shell]

you should see what i write in @junior shoal s dms

[naive lava]

exactly, chill the fuck out

[gleaming shell]

i am a very chilll person

[naive lava]

how's your salad doing

[gleaming shell]

normalize writing 2 page google doc complaints

[naive lava]

[gleaming shell]

rest i pie

ce

[naive lava]

static pay be trolling

[gleaming shell]

no static pay here. pain

[naive lava]

skul

[naive lava]

that's a really good thing

i prefer those spikes

rather than bloated 0.001 cent/15 mins earnings

[gleaming shell]

i prefer having a stable sgs that wont die every other day wuaj[ewruj[ruj

[naive lava]

my sgs never crashed i think

i couldn't care less anyways

salad is always runnin in the tray while i mind my own business

if it earns, it earns

since i know what salad is

i gotta accept it for what it is

[gleaming shell]

i always have to have a way to monitor salad bc my sgs dies so often and most of the time it isnt even my fault

[peak terrace]

just never get reliant on salad for anything

then you won't really care too much

[naive lava]

yup

[gleaming shell]

?remindme 2 years apply for a job

I'll remind you on Oct 18, 2025 17:01, years apply for a job

[gleaming shell]

its doing something i guess

[robust creek]

I got scared when i saw the announcement ping

But no, wasn't an update

[pulsar arrow]

another stupid tos update

12 month balance expiration

[upbeat shuttle]

this has been in the TOS since it was last updated

quite a few months ago

[pulsar arrow]

yeah I know

I'm just acknowledging it again

[upbeat shuttle]

oki

[frigid reef]

this has been more then months, aka years

[upbeat shuttle]

in the bandwidth sharing thread

[pulsar arrow]

yes

[upbeat shuttle]

i don't rember if it was in the previous TOS

[frigid reef]

just listen to your video

[upbeat shuttle]

haha

[peak terrace]

i think it makes sense

[frigid reef]

sometime this year or last year it was added

[short notch]

#announcements message WTF? it's your fault if sgs is not starting not users fault

[frigid reef]

[frigid reef]

what does that new annoncement have about sgs-client?

[short notch]

about people not earning

[frigid reef]

thats not what it was about though?

[short notch]

in my house inactive people means people not earning

[frigid reef]

no, inactive means aka not using any of salad aka opening app or logging into salad at all for a year

actually even the app auto opening counts

[upbeat shuttle]

tell us you didn't read the entire announcement without telling us you didn't read the entire announcement

[dire elm]

I miss those days 😭

[gleaming shell]

i miss these days

i dont miss these days

[gleaming shell]

wtf 250tb bandwidth is crazy

[dire elm]

yeah it was just 24/7 now it’s just dead most of the time

[gleaming shell]

pain

but still tho wtf 250tb

[dire elm]

and it’s an estimate not sure exact amount but between 200-250 ish

[gleaming shell]

i started recording my usage on july 2023

it has now been 100ish days and ive only shared 6.3tb

and if my sgs deaths were to be spread, 66 out of those 100 days, my sgs died

[dire elm]

#show-off-your-earnings message

averaged this for ages at that point

[gleaming shell]

and 80 percent of my sgs deaths arent even my fault, its salad randomly ending it and other shit salad pulls off, very few of the times its from my router, or me stopping it

[gleaming shell]

ive heard uk demand is starting to suck a bit ass

[dire elm]

yeah now it’s dead

been dead for a month maybe?

like I have gigabit and my network was literally drained from salad 🫡

[dire elm]

yeah spot on with sgs crashes

[gleaming shell]

wtf
were only in like, mid october and my sgs died 29 TIMES

[dire elm]

Simple name time to forget the old times 🫡

[gleaming shell]

man salad was so much better before

i guess we can only hope they improve it

ill do anything to get the easy 2 dollars per day back

[onyx fiber]

yes

finlly

finally

[gleaming shell]

netcut moment

also congratys

[onyx fiber]

many weeks later i got sgs client

[gleaming shell]

weeks is crazy

[onyx fiber]

4 - 5 weeks later

yes the earnings are back

i can feel the power of money again

[gleaming shell]

i lost my 1 cent per 15 minute job this morning due to salad pulling off shit

and now my earnings have been eh now

[onyx fiber]

the happiness i cant feel the enjoy

[frigid reef]

@upbeat shuttle New sgs-gateways

Aloe - South africa
gibson - Czechia
rose 2 - uk (ran out of names now using numbers :D)

YES THE FEELING OF JOY

I CANT BELIVE IT

AFTER 4 WEEKS I EARN SOMETHING

YES

THANK YOU SALAD GODS

YESSS

[peak terrace]

not bad

it has been pretty good today running on two machines

when workload for one slows down the other takes over

running on gateways rose (1) and chrysanthymum (3) for UK

[gleaming shell]

good today, but painful bc not good anymore

atleast static pay starte

[civic fern]

Does it also delete the unused account or just removed the amount of currency inside it?

[peak terrace]

just removes salad balance

[frigid reef]

just the balance

[peak terrace]

account stays the same except for balance

[civic fern]

Why tho

[peak terrace]

because salad wants money

and as an unapologetic capitalist i'm all for it

[hollow vortex]

Duh, why you only get 3% earnings if that.

[peak terrace]

salad doesn't make money from how much you earn

they make money from purchases in the salad storefront

[junior shoal]

your pfp (Sometimes) looks like a funny symbol from 1930-40 🇩🇪

[ocean birch]

Salad XP are important or Not

[junior shoal]

no

[hollow vortex]

They do make money off the services they provide , which you earn from providing the bandwidth or cpu/gpu . They just give you the littlest amount as they can

[dire elm]

why more gateways when no demand(uk)

[gleaming shell]

what is the point of adding new gateways? i honestly never knew the reaosn why salad adds more gateways

is it for multiple devices per ip support

or

just smth to do with demand shit?

[upbeat shuttle]

?remindme 6h update gateways

[glacial fox]

I'll remind you on Oct 20, 2023 00:12, update gateways

[upbeat shuttle]

People that haven't used their Salad accounts in one year (12 months) will lose their current Salad balance

[dire elm]

kinda

[shrewd terrace]

somehow i got 2 devices on the same gateway 💀

sgs just decided to run on same gateway

[peak terrace]

there is no resemblance between it and the flag of germany

and the flag of germany is not just from 30s to 40s

it is still up to this day

[junior shoal]

Yeah... not exactly what im talking about

[peak terrace]

you put the german flag emoji

[upbeat shuttle]

probably to indicate that it has something to do with Germany

[lapis skiff]

Guys i am not getting sgs even after 100mbps

Upload and download

[upbeat shuttle]

do you meet the minimum requirements ?
if so, it's probably just that bandwidth sharing jobs aren't guaranteed , especially in countries that are still in testing
