Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[naive lava]

ive seen this enough times

[peak terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-downloading-bing-gif-24764671

see it once more

[naive lava]

what is wrong with you

[peak terrace]

salad has killed itself on my server for some reason

it didn't take down my pc this time which is good

not mad though, it happened when demand died down a lot

[gleaming shell]

i only use salad on my second laptop now, went from running salad on both laptops to occasionally running it on my main to all relying on second now

[peak terrace]

this is new

sgs-uk-xp-2

[gleaming shell]

wtf
why does the uk have so many gatewaysuhfaewpfuw8

[peak terrace]

it connects to "rose-2"

sgs-rose-2-gateway.salad.com:443

[gleaming shell]

does it have any jobs?

[peak terrace]

it died before i could find out

currently rustica is running

which is gateway 2

[gleaming shell]

i dont think ive seen anyone get crocus gateway

ive only got it once, and it was jobless

[peak terrace]

amogus gateway

[elder plume]

Question for UK bw sharing people, anyone know if its possible to get an external broadband ISP provider in a uni student accomodation?

[frigid reef]

that would be something to ask staff

[upbeat shuttle]

I've not been in that situation before, but if nobody else here knows, you could try asking someone higher up at your uni

[frigid reef]

yeah, some allow it, some dont

[upbeat shuttle]

it'd probably depend on how invasive the installation process would be

[frigid reef]

yeah, could get starlink and hang it outside a window

[peak terrace]

starlink is expensive asf especially for a uni student

[hollow vortex]

ive had it, seems not many clients use that gateway

[robust creek]

90 gateways

italy had 2 but now seems only 1

[upbeat shuttle]

rose-2 that's interesting

oh i was going to update the pins

[light isle]

[upbeat shuttle]

what's jp-2's goofy name?

[serene grotto]

i havent had any sgs in ages

like 3 days on my 24/7 laptop

[naive lava]

holy shit uk has 6 gateways now damn

[tardy swan]

i dont think thats the right leader

[light isle]

i know thats kim jong un

but thats ok

[white knot]

dont u know?

its akira

[white knot]

💀

hitachi

haruka

[tardy swan]

money!

[subtle swallow]

Bro got lucky with librespeed

[tardy swan]

it says 200mbps but it should be 500mbps

doesn't really matter tho

[subtle swallow]

Nah I’m surprised you even got 200 mbps with librespeed, I should get ~1 gbps but shit servers say nope 1 mbps

But nothing ever really gives me the full gigabit

[tardy swan]

i get 200mbps because the server is 800km away

peak is still lower than what i used to get from static pay (0.008$)

[frigid reef]

how far away wont really effect speed that much

[tardy swan]

i know

ping is affected tho

but it's under 100 so idrc

[sick helm]

@tardy swan has been

[sick helm]

@tardy swan has been

[serene grotto]

?

[upbeat shuttle]

ah right i already had it

i forgor

[pulsar arrow]

Moved residence into an apartment that doesnt have fiber

so wont be bw sharing for a while

openreach says itll be between now and december 2026 for a fiber install

so long noobs

couldnt make it to the big G

oh yeah

[gleaming shell]

2026...

[pulsar arrow]

total bw shared is around 160 TB

[gleaming shell]

some person in this server apparently shared a total o 250tb

[pulsar arrow]

damn

[gleaming shell]

havent up[dated this in a while

[pulsar arrow]

heeheehawhaw

[gleaming shell]

upload moment

[pulsar arrow]

their competitor virgin media is building 10gbit networks

eh itll take a while

ill prob have left the UK before that gets to me

[vagrant dirge]

That other option is pretty shit

[pulsar arrow]

its fine

if i really need some speed

i can use 5g on my phone

i get around 1.2gbits

im nearby a cell tower

[patent fulcrum]

One day everyone will have fiber worldwide and ISPs that don't grift their customers so we can all have speeds like this

[frigid reef]

[shrewd terrace]

i got the no job gateway

why is it in czech lol

[frigid reef]

what country are you in? and what is the log folder called?

[shrewd terrace]

canada

[frigid reef]

[tardy swan]

Once again

Move into my attic.

[pulsar arrow]

no!

i meanyeah

sure

[pulsar arrow]

no because i hate cold countries

[tardy swan]

It’s not cold yet

[vagrant dirge]

I finally got a decent job

[clever hollow]

what gpu?

[vagrant dirge]

Just bandwidth

[subtle swallow]

Lucky, my computer only gets 300 Mbps when I pay for 1 gbps. Scammed?

[subtle swallow]

HOW TO GET STATIC PAY

[peak terrace]

Are you using WiFi?

[subtle swallow]

No I’m using wired internet

[peak terrace]

Are you using power line adapters

[waxen pollen]

100MBs upload and nothing 😭

[robust creek]

sgs not starting?

[waxen pollen]

nope

[robust creek]

eh rip

me getting at least static pay

[timber swallow]

Hi, if there are a list for which countries have BW Sharing ?

[spark adder]

bw sharing is not working at all for me in UAE , ndm speeds are always less than 10mbps no matter the server although actual speed by ookla results in >200mbps

I'll dm the log folder ands email

[safe loom]

that was for when they released UAE and it wasn't configured

your issue is different

[spark adder]

Oh

any ideas?

[safe loom]

yeah the cli app they use for speedtests does a poor job

but they haven't given us any fixes so we just have to cope

[spark adder]

It used to work fine when I was in India

ie librespeed worked fine

[safe loom]

yeah it would have changed depending on what server its connecting to now

[spark adder]

yes but all servers in india worked

here in uae none do

[patent fulcrum]

Container baseline is at .05c~, sheeesh that was some BW in those 15 mins

[gleaming shell]

i got a >20 cent spike on october 15, but it only happened once

bandwidth only

[patent fulcrum]

Nice lil' surprise ain't it

[gleaming shell]

Never knew my internet could go that fast lo

[patent fulcrum]

I think that was the highest burst I've observed too. 11.4GB in 3 minutes or 512Mbps bidirectional

[stiff wedge]

Alright guys why did I get randomly logged out from salad

Now sgs doesn’t wanna start again

Oh wait it started

yoy

[vagrant dirge]

Mine hasn't started in 2 days

It's like a lottery to get it to open

[robust creek]

which country

[vagrant dirge]

Australia

[shrewd terrace]

breathing

[dire elm]

this seems new https://upload.kannadev.com/u/AnyDesk_828y7Qzj0U.png

[gleaming shell]

mine is normal

wth sgs takes up to 35 percent of my cpu when theres a super high paying job

[gleaming shell]

it could be this bug? idk tho

basically where processes show up under other processes

[patent fulcrum]

Not really a bug, it's a feature. A parent process and the sub/child processes that are tied to it

Their sgs just seems to be busier than what we're used to, can't say I ever saw it ever have subprocesses

[gleaming shell]

oh, thought it was weird that roblox showed up under the microsoft edge lo

[patent fulcrum]

Dang no wonder Roblox has a lot of players, didn't know it had a web client

[dire elm]

nope, no job running, just noticed it today when i was checking up on the host

[patent fulcrum]

interdasting

[dire elm]

yeah

been using bandwidth sharing for ages and never seen it before

let alone it having subprocesses

just appeared out of no where tbf

[safe loom]

probably some new things being dabbled

or it could be that you just have some more advanced view setting that lets you see the processes and maybe they’ve always been there

[dire elm]

also any info about the sgs-uk-xp-2?

[safe loom]

xp?

[dire elm]

lemme get a ss real quick

[safe loom]

my only guess is that it was a different connection? but i don’t know why it’s named that way

[dire elm]

yeah

I noticed someone else also posted about it

[dire elm]

.

[safe loom]

ah

so it must be rose 2

[dire elm]

yeah

just a pretty unusual name for it

[safe loom]

i guess it’s got more meaning than being a new gateway though

there is the star chef stuff

not sure if it’s real

but chopping for 3000 minutes a week will make you a star chef so your node is prioritised more

but i’m not even sure that is a thing

but if it is that might be what rose-2 is?

and that would explain what the xp is doing there

[patent fulcrum]

you're cooking somethin

[merry raft]

is 4060ti is good for salad

?

[safe loom]

this does not relate to bandwidth sharing

maybe ask in #community-support

[merry raft]

ok

[vagrant dirge]

So, the people that have used salad more are higher up in the list for jobs?

[safe loom]

probably

i dont know

[vagrant dirge]

I mean sgs hasn't started for 3 days for me

And the bug where it randomly shuts off on the 3/4th day isn't fixed yet either

[shrewd terrace]

which country are you in?

[vagrant dirge]

Australia

[peak terrace]

Aussie aussie oi oi oi

[light isle]

yeah

[frigid reef]

how can you fail at doing aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi

[peak terrace]

Look it's been a while since we colonised austrailia properly

[light isle]

nah

[safe loom]

you did NOT make our chanting

aussie aussie aussie

[light isle]

oi oi oi

[safe loom]

was us

[light isle]

aussie aussie aussie

[safe loom]

oi

oi

oi

[light isle]

See we must chant to assert dominance

[waxen pollen]

So sgs defo has an issue, i've been waiting for sgs for a week, the instance i restart my mini pc, sgs starts up

[naive lava]

skill issue

[gleaming shell]

same happens to me, i get sgs instantly on my unreliable ass main laptop that never runs salad anymore, but it takes days to start for my second laptop

someone said it could depend on hardware

[waxen pollen]

Hmmm, well it is a £100 mini PC, but my other mini PC (Same model) gets it right away and that one only has 20upload were as the other has 100upload

[quiet cliff]

no sgs 😭

[naive lava]

[quiet cliff]

🫂

[naive lava]

i have sgs tho

[quiet cliff]

how u got that

is there any things to be installed?

[naive lava]

nope, u just need to be in a supported country

[naive lava]

and also u need to have min 10 mbps download and upload speeds, with ideally <100 ms

[quiet cliff]

i have 200mbps but im in turkiye

oooooof

[safe loom]

turks 🤮

@cinder prawn

[peak terrace]

otterman

[quiet cliff]

and

[jovial fiber]

that's a task manager bug, just need to restart it

and roblox don't have any web client :p

[patent fulcrum]

wew lad

[old compass]

how do i bandwidth jobs in the uk

[shrewd terrace]

bruh

[shrewd terrace]

bro has 9123480 mbps

[upbeat shuttle]

1. Be in the UK
2. Run Salad
3. Enable Bandwidth Sharing

[old compass]

How do I receive a job it has been a week

Ok no I understand it can't just be given but is there really that much of lack of jobs?

[upbeat shuttle]

Bandwidth sharing jobs aren't guaranteed, though not receiving any jobs for a week is a bit strange in the UK currently

[old compass]

I remember at some point I'd get a job almost immediately maybe there was more demand or less people doing bandwidth sharing or maybe it's an issue on my side

[upbeat shuttle]

What are the upload and download speeds you see in the latest NDM (speed test) log?
C:/ProgramData/Salad/logs/ndm

[old compass]

Give me a second

72.48mbps up 16.40 down

Do I not meet the minimum speed requirements?

[upbeat shuttle]

The minimum is 10 up and down, so you do meet it

[old compass]

I got wrong way around btw

But yes I've still met the requirements

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd probably recommend reading through the pinned posts here, since I've gotta go back to sleep for a bit

[old compass]

Understood

Sleep well

[vagrant dirge]

Holy shit it finally started after 5 days

[light isle]

wow nice

[safe loom]

mine too

[vagrant dirge]

Nice

[safe loom]

making about 50 cents a day

[light isle]

not bad

[lavish vortex]

bros cpu is 1 gen older than mine and same goes to GPU

[thick knoll]

Yea I upgraded from that laptop qbout 6 months ago. Don't even get jobs on the 11800h ither lol

[lavish vortex]

bandwidth?

or cpu

[thick knoll]

Cpu

[lavish vortex]

same

i have 10300h

and i haent have a job for my cpu for like aout 5 to 6 months

the last time was 6 months ago

[thick knoll]

Yea they don't get many in

[lavish vortex]

newer dont older does

brb let me go to my main laptop

[thick knoll]

This is bw sharing support btw

[lavish vortex]

i have returned to my main laptop

the 10300h w 1650

the best computer in my house

i feel jealous because i think everyone has a spec that are better than mine

[upbeat shuttle]

you get used to it

[lavish vortex]

thanks

[vagrant dirge]

Fuck me mine crashed

[robust creek]

italy in a nutshell :

sgs doesn't start for almost everyone and when it starts stays idle and gives only static pay

[stiff wedge]

static pay is W

no internet used + money made

[peak terrace]

but

internet used = more money made

[tardy swan]

no internet use + no money

[robust creek]

country

[tardy swan]

norway

used to be 0.08$

salad cheaped out

[robust creek]

in italy there is no much difference, traffic is so low that if its there or not you don't care much, also because in most cases there is no traffic at all

[robust creek]

in italy too! 0,80$ a day and now 0,50

static

[peak terrace]

mood

[robust creek]

probably changes even by which isp you have

i have a not popular isp, it's local

[tardy swan]

i have no idea what my isp ins

is

[robust creek]

look the modem or ip

@short notch you have a popular italian isp, show graph

[tardy swan]

i don't think isp matters

[short notch]

yes hello? ok

[robust creek]

ok yes isp doesn't matter

[short notch]

telecom italia

[safe loom]

i have one right now

took like 3 day

[lavish vortex]

lucky u

man people are hella luckierthan i am

[pulsar arrow]

was lucky to have got on the sgs train from the start

salads job distribution is still a mess

[old compass]

agreed, havent recieved a job in a week!

[pulsar arrow]

rip

I made almost a grand from this

[gleaming shell]

Ive went several months without SGS before

[peak terrace]

he said peace

[robust creek]

90% surely today they will release a new salad update...

[gleaming shell]

really hoping they dont release a new update

bandwidth has been pretty good today after a while

and the update is probably gonna be something useless, them removing more features and i dont see sgs again gor 3 months

[patent fulcrum]

Been a lot of committs to the github adding achievements 😅

[rocky orbit]

that a website update

Not application update

[patent fulcrum]

Perhaps perhaps

[robust creek]

we are in the dangerous hour (we will see if they release an update or no)

[gleaming shell]

Thursday afternoons (us time) are the most dangerous hours of salad

[robust creek]

oh my god i got very scared when i saw the ping

[patent fulcrum]

Update is live: https://github.com/SaladTechnologies/salad-applications/releases/tag/1.2.8

Got an in-app notification for it

[outer anchor]

Any news about bandwidth sharing in other countries?

[gleaming shell]

nahhhh...

time to kill my sgs...

man

[peak terrace]

me who has no sgs

[shrewd terrace]

damn

[gleaming shell]

watch me scream for the next 3 hours

[robust creek]

WHAT NOOO

RIP

[patent fulcrum]

[pulsar arrow]

of course this only releases once Im not eligible to earn much

@gleaming shell pain

[gleaming shell]

annnnd sgs dead...

[peak terrace]

[lean berry]

samu angry that he has to update his 7437834 vms

[pulsar arrow]

WHY COULDNT THIS SHIT HAVW RELEASED BACK IN 1984

I mean September

[robust creek]

vms? it's already a miracle if i get sgs in my pc

[peak terrace]

did you know? 1981 was the year that salad 1.2.8 released also AAAAAAAAAAAA

[gleaming shell]

watch me scream for the next 2 days about no sgs

[hollow vortex]

lol.

[tardy swan]

[gleaming shell]

wait, but im a star chef

[tardy swan]

My offer STILL stands

[gleaming shell]

if days before this update is counte

[tardy swan]

Every single person is one

All of the British

[robust creek]

i should be a star chef too because i leave it run 24/7

[patent fulcrum]

You get a star ⭐ and you get a star! 🌟

[pulsar arrow]

I was a star chef for the past

year

24/7ing this shit

RAAAAH

[gleaming shell]

give me your salad account i will help you get earnings i totally wont steal

[tardy swan]

[peak terrace]

my salad has been running 24/7 for the past 1.5 years

[pulsar arrow]

I could actually

there's 3 cents

[tardy swan]

I want

Give

[pulsar arrow]

nuh

[patent fulcrum]

🌟

I also assume that the tracking of Star Chef status starts now

If you're on the latest client perhaps

[hollow vortex]

think it will backtrack to your usage for x amount of days could be wrong. doesnt say when the tracking starts.

[tardy swan]

Yep

Jared confirmed

[gleaming shell]

i think it does start now, maybe

[patent fulcrum]

Yep sounds like it then

[tardy swan]

Wait

I think I chop like 16 hours a day

[hollow vortex]

dont matter when your internet is poop 😛 j/k

[tardy swan]

15:30

So I’d need 4 days

[tardy swan]

It got fixed

[peak terrace]

we running rose 2

[elder plume]

well the thing is i already know its not allowed lol. the thing is my bathroom window was next to a telephone pole and I just put 2 and 2 together.

[upbeat shuttle]

I've learned that despite things seeming physically very easy, there's likely some dumb factors or rules that prevent you from actually being able to do it

[safe loom]

fuckin update

mfs pushed an update for this dumb star chef thing

[elder plume]

yeah everytime im sat on the shitter i get reminded of what could've been. All the sgs goodness that im missing. Sadge

[safe loom]

crying on the shitter

[light isle]

My favourite past time

[peak terrace]

still no sgs on my pc, just my server

very fun

[peak terrace]

pc has sgs

rose 2

server has rose 1

[peak terrace]

rose 2 is shite

[gleaming shell]

dandelion too

and crocus but i only got it once and it was all jobless

[peak terrace]

look at this goofy ahh

[peak terrace]

we popping off

[peak terrace]

okay so not only is my PC's NIC stuck in 100mbit mode

it's fucking half duplex

so when I buffer music from my plex server my upload dies

[vale mural]

Had a Amazing job ($1.9) per day, lost it today 😒

[peak terrace]

random spike

oh my server got a container

that would explain it

[gleaming shell]

havent got a container in so long (a high paying one)

(and no, i dont have a container rn)

[peak terrace]

is that bw?

[thorny imp]

Do i need to do all these steps in order to start bandwidth sharing (im in sweden so i should have access)

i dont see anything in the performance tab to turn it on either

[peak terrace]

No

You need to have all of those if you want high pay GPU container jobs

[thorny imp]

But what if i dont have a 3080 as it says in the menu?

[peak terrace]

doesn't make a difference

has nothing to do with bandwidth sharing

I have a 1060 and it does BW sharing happily

[thorny imp]

when i turn on my GPU setting, the chopping power turns into this menu

[peak terrace]

yes

that happens

[thorny imp]

so this should work now?

[peak terrace]

for bandwidth sharing?

[thorny imp]

yeah

[peak terrace]

also you don't need your GPU on for bw sharing

and it won't work with GPU anyways because salad doesn't support intel GPUs

open this file path:
C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\ndm
and open the most recently created log file in notepad

[thorny imp]

1 sec

[peak terrace]

check the download and upload speeds logged and make sure both are over 10mbps

this contains your IP address in line 6

you may want to remove that

[thorny imp]

thanks, didnt realize 😅

i got 250/100 from my ISP

so it should be fine

and im connected by ethernet

[peak terrace]

it should be fine but sometimes the utility salad uses to test speed chooses a very bad server that misrepresents your internet speed during the test

[thorny imp]

yeah it chose virginia USA

[peak terrace]

if the logged upload speeds are >10mbps then you are set for bandwidth sharing and you just have to wait for it to pick up a job

[thorny imp]

and im in sweden, and idk how to swap server?

[peak terrace]

can you check the speeds shown in the log? I didn't get a chance to see them

[thorny imp]

1 sec

[peak terrace]

if it's 10mbps or over for both upload and download then there is nothing else you need to do

[thorny imp]

it was pinging 30+ Mbps on upload a second ago

[peak terrace]

yeah it chose a very bad server

[peak terrace]

it only uses the final values for upload and download speed

[thorny imp]

download rate

is 224

upload for some reason is 3

[peak terrace]

in this case you will want to quit the salad app completely and then kill the "salad.bowl.service" process in task manager, this will trigger it to redo the speed test

[thorny imp]

will do

[peak terrace]

once the test is done you can check the log it created

[thorny imp]

alright

this time it chose finland which is closer

download 42
upload 43

upload 58*

[peak terrace]

that will do it, now you can reopen salad and bandwidth sharing will work when you start chopping

[thorny imp]

Alright, thank you!

[peak terrace]

after some time it will download sgs-client.exe which is the module that actually does the bandwidth sharing

[thorny imp]

how do i know when that is gonna install?

[peak terrace]

there isn't any indicator, you just have to wait

it can download instantly or take many hours, it is very unpredictable

[thorny imp]

I'll leave it on for a bit and come back after a little while to see if anything has happened, I'll come back here and update if it hasnt worked.

[peak terrace]

[thorny imp]

Thank you for all the help, there wasnt much info online so it was needed 👍

[upbeat shuttle]

thanks salad for switching to sgs-uk-2, which gets absolutely no traffic whatsoever

right after i was getting decent bandwidth from uk-3

stupid app

just disabled and re-enabled bw sharing, now it gave me uk-bV

which ALSO gets no bandwidth

there we go, got uk-3 back

i guess salad doesn't care about me turning bw sharing off and on just to get the best server ;)

[robust creek]

want exchange?

[feral shell]

hallo i need help

so i get connected to virginia for bw sharing

even though i get the shittiest speed on it

and on restarting salad bowl, it does not create a new ndm log for some reason

reinstalled

still the same issue

for reference : my speed is 50 both ways and the virgin server gives me 3 or 5

@charred sparrow mind helping me out??

[naive lava]

eh just don't restart saladbowl manually

restart your pc instead

[feral shell]

fr?

[naive lava]

frfr

[feral shell]

alrr

brb

[naive lava]

restarting saladbowl manually can hurt your 'node quality', cuz it's a sudden action and salad doesn't like that

restarting your pc instead is a fresh restart to it

[feral shell]

alr bacc

it created a new ndm log

but its still the virgin server

[naive lava]

virginia lmao

[feral shell]

and 6mbps

yh i call it the virgin server

coz the speeds it gives me

[naive lava]

yeh sometimes salad acts funni, do another restart in case u got the patience

[feral shell]

a restart for bw earnings is not that much

be bacc again

hopefully im free from the virgin curse

[naive lava]

gl

[feral shell]

Selected server: Virginia, United States, OVH

Upload rate: 7.25 Mbps

[feral shell]

finna kms

[feral shell]

@naive lavanew ndm

[feral shell]

sorry for pong but help me?
@neon blade

[neon blade]

i got pinged ponged

[neon blade]

restart pc for a new ndm log

you wont get bandwidth sharing with that speed

you need atleast 10 download and upload

[feral shell]

@neon blade read from here pls

[neon blade]

thats odd

also dont restart saladbowl

restart pc

[feral shell]

ook but it aint working thi

tho

on restarting still gives me virgin server

[neon blade]

your ping is very good on virginia server then

[feral shell]

this is the new ndm that was created after restarting for the 2nd time

[feral shell]

but upload speed shitty tho

not even one fifth of original

i get much better speeds in eu ones

why dont i get thosee

mald moment

[neon blade]

your ping is higher in eu server

the ndm log picks the best server according to ping

[feral shell]

oh i see

is there any way to get better ping for eu servers?

i dont want virgin server

i dont think it even pays me

coz less than 10 mbps always

[feral shell]

any fix ??

i want eu server for bw jobs

should get better pay it seems

[neon blade]

try restarting your router

[robust creek]

it's a BS that you need 10mbps up

the minimum is 100mbps

[neon blade]

Well the minimum requirement is 10mbps

[robust creek]

not true

[neon blade]

its not recommended

[robust creek]

sgs doesnt start if you have lower than 100mbps

[neon blade]

oh really

is that so?

[robust creek]

yes from july

[neon blade]

and where do you see that?

[robust creek]

🇮🇹

[neon blade]

because i know people getting bandwidth sharing jobs with less than 100mbps

[neon blade]

(spoiler, it was me)

[robust creek]

and even with 100mbps takes time too

but with 10 never starts

10,20,30,40,50 never

[neon blade]

Listen theoratically, the waiting time depends on your speeds. The more speed you have the more chances and less time it can take you to get a job

[robust creek]

sgs died this night and still didn't came back, yu want users to keep their pc on without pay anything?

i have 150up on speedtest

[neon blade]

the minimum requirement is said to be 10mbps both.

[neon blade]

which country are you from again?

uk?

[robust creek]

but no one in 🇮🇹 got sgs from july with 10,20.30 up

[robust creek]

🇮🇹

[neon blade]

italy?

[robust creek]

yes and i have 150 up

[neon blade]

Italy does not have many bandwidth sharing jobs

the amount of jobs depend on the customers

[robust creek]

sgs will come i'm sure, but people with lover than 100mbps will never get it

[robust creek]

sgs is static pay not job

[neon blade]

the static pay of bandwidth sharing is considered a job like others, only difference being that it is paid by salad (for testing) and not customers

[peak terrace]

currently rose 1 is doing the most

[neon blade]

While that could be true yes, if a person has a speed of 100 or more he would get choosen over the lower speed people (theory)

[upbeat shuttle]

i work in numbers, not words

[robust creek]

they can afford it because they prob charge 3$ a GB their customers and pay us 0,01$ a GB

[peak terrace]

we are mental opposites

[light isle]

Words are scary

[neon blade]

Thats an absurd amount to charge

[upbeat shuttle]

i see uk-{} at the top of my screen so much, i'm used to it

[neon blade]

and also no

[robust creek]

then show how much they charge

[feral shell]

ok will try it
i should exit salad first right?

[robust creek]

why sgs prices are hidden?

[upbeat shuttle]

we don't know

[neon blade]

sure

[peak terrace]

as far as i'm aware salad gives all earnings to their chefs, and makes up money from purchases on the storefront

[robust creek]

and they say is the most profitable thing they have?

[upbeat shuttle]

they haven't really make sgs a big part of their brand

containers are the most profitable thing they have...

[robust creek]

?

[neon blade]

who says?

well bandwidth sharing can be the most profitable depending on the region

[robust creek]

people on their reddit i don't remember

[neon blade]

reddit

who uses that dead app anyways

ozua?

[robust creek]

most profitable for the company*

[neon blade]

[upbeat shuttle]

we're talking about on salad's end, not the users end with electricity costs and all that

Salad doesn't care if it's not profitable for us after electricity

[peak terrace]

i love these containers that use basically no resources and still pay like $0.5 a day

[neon blade]

where was it said that bandwidth sharing is profitable for salad, im interested

[neon blade]

.5?

are you sure

[peak terrace]

pretty sure

[neon blade]

and where did u see that

[peak terrace]

for me at least

[robust creek]

i don't remember who said it! but it's on reddit

[neon blade]

reddit

[peak terrace]

read it on reddit

[robust creek]

official subreddit salad

[neon blade]

@upbeat shuttle rate your pain out of 10 moderating reddit

[peak terrace]

[upbeat shuttle]

w h e r e

[robust creek]

!

[neon blade]

well you need to show who said it

[upbeat shuttle]

then your claims are invalid

[neon blade]

if it was a random guy on the internet or the reddit mods

we need to know

[peak terrace]

it was a ghost

[neon blade]

ozua

[feral shell]

how long should i keep router off before turning on

[neon blade]

15 seconds

[neon blade]

ozua i know you are watching, answer this

[peak terrace]

for a new IP?

[neon blade]

Well not technically a new IP

[feral shell]

^^

[neon blade]

i am not wanting him to do that for a new IP

[feral shell]

i have no idea lmao i just trust prateek

[neon blade]

im just hoping that his ping somehow gets worse or better

[neon blade]

its worth giving it a try lol

[peak terrace]

1.1.1.1

[neon blade]

you want him to use cloudflare dns

why

[peak terrace]

usually gets you better ping in my experience

not vastly better ping

but a slight improvement

[upbeat shuttle]

pain

[neon blade]

pain/10!

that ryhmes pretty well

[feral shell]

alr i restarted router after exiting salad

and restarted chopping

since theres no new ndm log

i opened librespeed site

and it is showing london server for speed test

[neon blade]

you didnt restart pc?

[feral shell]

does that mean i get london server now?

[feral shell]

no

[neon blade]

do it

for a new ndm log

[feral shell]

o

restart router too?

or just restart pc?

[feral shell]

?

[neon blade]

just this

because you just restarted router

[feral shell]

oook

[feral shell]

done

its still virgin server

upload rate is 12 tho

but its still da unreliable server

[feral shell]

ig ill just use this

??

[feral shell]

@neon blade sorry for the ping but pls help me
i dont really earn much from mining so bw is my best bet

[feral shell]

^any other fix yk of?

[neon blade]

you meet the requirements now

you can earn

[feral shell]

but virgin mostly gives under 10

do you have any method to get another server?

or should i try the cloudfare method mentioned above?

[neon blade]

sure

[neon blade]

you did just meet requirements now

[feral shell]

yh but this is like one rare instance

normally its like 3 to 5 mbps

[feral shell]

@peak terrace can you help me how to do this???

[peak terrace]

https://youtu.be/TqTUk5GgmQ8

[feral shell]

this will get me a better server right?

im looking to get a server that gives me my original upload speeds

hence the search for a new server

[peak terrace]

No

It will marginally improve your ping

[feral shell]

the server and the upload speed remains same??

[peak terrace]

more or less

what's the issue you're having?

[feral shell]

alr so i keep getting connected to virginia server for bw sharing although it gives me the shittiest upload rates
(i have 50 mbps both ways and virginia gives 3 to 5 most of the time)
hence i wanna change the server to a new one where i can get the best upload speed according to my net potential

[naive lava]

all i can say is keep trying

[peak terrace]

You can't change the server

You have to get lucky

[naive lava]

salad chooses servers based on ping anyways

[feral shell]

man fuck me

alr man ty for the help

[naive lava]

glad to help :)

[peak terrace]

Honestly I'd rather not

[naive lava]

👀

[feral shell]

i thought bro came up with a fix or sum only to see this reply lol

[naive lava]

xd

[thorny imp]

How long does it take for sgs-client?
been chopping for 15 hours now and no sgs client
got 80Mbps download and 53Mbps upload

[upbeat shuttle]

what country?

[thorny imp]

Sweden

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

could just be that there's not much demand from salad's customers over there, so it'll take longer to get a bw sharing job

[thorny imp]

Alright 👍

[robust creek]

still no sgs

[upbeat shuttle]

weird af

it keeps switching from uk-3 to shit ones that give me no bandwidth

[peak terrace]

rose 2 has been okay today

[upbeat shuttle]

only 30gb

uk-3 is at 80gb, and it's been dead for half the day

though it keeps trying to force me to use different gateways

all these new ones have horrible traffic

[peak terrace]

it was fighting with rose 1 on my server

[upbeat shuttle]

disabled and re-enabled bw sharing multiple times now

got uk-2 three times now

i really don't care if it messes with my imaginary trust score

[peak terrace]

i avoid doing this because it often takes like 6 hours for sgs to start again

[upbeat shuttle]

i'm getting it starting again within ~30s

up to 5m

[peak terrace]

lucky

[upbeat shuttle]

i've had a gpu container job for the past few days straight, which is annoying because i wanna play cyberpunk

[peak terrace]

i rarely ever play games

most games I play are on my laptop anyways

[upbeat shuttle]

uk-bV go away

uk-xp-2 go away

uk-3 :D

[peak terrace]

chrysanthemum is my favourite not rose gateway

[upbeat shuttle]

what number's that

[peak terrace]

3

[upbeat shuttle]

3 gang

1 is also alright

but it seems 3 is easier to get

[peak terrace]

for me it is now 1 < 3 < xp < 2

xp fired up again

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

i'll try xp next time it rolls around

for now, i've got 3 and i'm happy

[peak terrace]

with xp i have observed it will consistently pick up a ultra low pay BBC job that transfers 2 bursts of 20kb every 5 mins, and then after about 6 hours of running it starts picking up very high paying jobs suddenly

[robust creek]

finally i got static pay back

[peak terrace]

italy static pay is higher than UK static pay

here it is $0.0037 per 15 mins

[old compass]

i miss bandwidth sharing around 7 months ago

consistantly got instant jobs

and would pay .04 cents per 15 min alwaysd

[peak terrace]

I would consistently make >$100 a month with it

now I just about scratch $40 a month

closer to $30

[old compass]

is it a matter of too much supply or not enough demand

[upbeat shuttle]

probably both

[peak terrace]

^

[upbeat shuttle]

there's much more people using bandwidth sharing than when it released / the early days

the customers' demand can also change over time

[peak terrace]

gets spread over a larger crowd

so the layer is thinner

[old compass]

yes

i just hope at some point salad might get more customers

[thorny imp]

swedish static is so bad

[peak terrace]

that isn't something they can change

[old compass]

because it used to be the best bandwidth sharing site atleast for me

[old compass]

i know

[peak terrace]

that doesn't look like static, are you mining?

[old compass]

i understand how it works they cant just magically get customers

[thorny imp]

honestly man, idk. im only using CPU on my laptop so i doubt its mining

unless its minero or something

[upbeat shuttle]

Salad removed CPU mining a while back

looks like a low amount of bw sharing earnings, from actual traffic

[peak terrace]

is sgs-client.exe running on your pc?

[thorny imp]

not on main PC, but on laptop finally

[peak terrace]

that would explain it

[thorny imp]

my main PC is not running currently tho cuz im playing some games 👍

[peak terrace]

playing games shouldn't really affect bandwidth sharing unless you are playing some online games and sgs client is going nuts

[thorny imp]

so it went up to 2 dollars prediction and now its back down 0.04

[light isle]

https://tenor.com/view/wormie-club-wormie-club-windows-book-club-gif-26107430

[robust creek]

it was 0,80$ a day 🇮🇹 static pay a month ago...

[thorny imp]

i have refused to pay the 2 dollars or whatever it is to activate windows for about 4 years

[peak terrace]

not bad today

[light isle]

I can send you a command line to activate it for free, I've never paid for it

[peak terrace]

imagine not stealing windows licenses from your school

[robust creek]

20$ on ebay

[thorny imp]

~2 eur

[peak terrace]

mmm

[peak terrace]

i have made a funny observation

i am meant to have a 30mbps upload speed on my internet connection, but it's actually 32mbps

if I run bw sharing on two devices I can manage to squeeze out an effective 36mbps worth of upload speed

which is very strange

[peak terrace]

when one slows down, the other picks up

[thorny imp]

What server manager software is that, im intrigued

Also what is the best Workload preferences for BW?

i got this right now

[tardy swan]

Glassware

Wire*

[peak terrace]

glasswire?

it seems to have freaked out for some reason

on my pc as well

oh i know what's happened

time zone is changing

goofy

[white knot]

sigh jp bw is gone 4 like 5days @ least...

and yet my container was instant being online after restarting

[vagrant dirge]

Bandwidth in Australia hasn't started in a week for me

[white knot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusty abyss]

help

i dont want virgina

[light isle]

neither but you can get banned from salad for changing the code

[dusty abyss]

[jovial fiber]

they'll never know

[light isle]

well i wish that was the case but i dought it

[jovial fiber]

they should just fix the issue

[upbeat shuttle]

i think it's just a scare tactic

but oh well

[civic fern]

we can never be sure enough

since everything happens in salad's backend, with exception on the bw sharing speedtest

[light isle]

yeah its really annoying since somethings could be fixed by the user

[peak terrace]

sitting at a comfy $4.05 a day rn

[light isle]

nice but thats because uk

[serene grotto]

finally a job

[peak terrace]

salad is so very unpredictable

i have not made this much in a day for like 5 months

[frigid reef]

what gateway are you connected to?

[peak terrace]

probably because i have double static pay + a cpu container

i got really lucky

[peak terrace]

1/rose and xp/rose-2

[frigid reef]

rose 2 = useless

[peak terrace]

it's been good for me

[frigid reef]

ah

[peak terrace]

rose 2 and rose 1 working together

fighting for bandwidth but making sure my internet is saturated

[light isle]

how dare you get sgs running

[peak terrace]

i got two sgs running

[frigid reef]

i got 3

[light isle]

https://tenor.com/view/daeth-funi-periflight-dies-from-gif-22212023

[peak terrace]

took like 6 hours it to start though

[frigid reef]

really? mine are normally instant

[peak terrace]

it used to for me as well

but as of maybe the last 2 months it can either start instantly or take hours

[jovial fiber]

did someone got the star chef thing ?

[peak terrace]

not yet

and my salad has been running 24/7

[jovial fiber]

i got my answer

[peak terrace]

i think some of the people who have their gpu enabled have it

[jovial fiber]

#community-support-2 message

[peak terrace]

but I had it disabled for a day

[jovial fiber]

wait if we can't get it without gpu 💀

[peak terrace]

would be goofy

it doesn't explicitly say you must have gpu enabled but the evidence points to it being needed

[jovial fiber]

I refuse to believe that

[serene grotto]

it died so quick

i've been running salad since the star chef thing was announced tho

and still havent got it

[jovial fiber]

;-;

[robust creek]

If you are a star chef you get a notification or something?

[jovial fiber]

yes

[jovial fiber]

#community-support-2 message

[robust creek]

i didnt got it even if i run salad 24/7

[jovial fiber]

that's what we were talking about with scelli, maybe you need to have gpu turned on

[serene grotto]

aint no way we need gpu turned on 😭

my 24/7 laptop only has an AMD gpu

[jovial fiber]

block the miners

[robust creek]

ah i wont enable it, it was using 100% of gpu and my pc was lagging with a 3070ti and was earning only 0,70$ a day with it

[jovial fiber]

maybe you need to have your connection actively used by a client for the time to be counted

we don't know anyway

[robust creek]

[jovial fiber]

do you have cpu enabled ?

[robust creek]

No

[jovial fiber]

hmm

so maybe only bandwidth is not counted ?

[robust creek]

I don't wanna give my pc resources for some pennies, bandw is ok but they don't use and give only static pay XD

And i have 1000/300

So there is a lot of connection available

Edited nickname so I don't have to say it always

[serene grotto]

hmm i have CPU on though

but a lot of static pay latel

[safe loom]

my salad is fucking blasted

itll randomly earn for like 10 minutes

stop

do nothing for 2 days

then make like 3 dollars in 24hrs

its so cooked

[peak terrace]

literally me

this is very abnormal for me right now

usually its like $0.40 a day

[serene grotto]

yeah i got a $5 day and then static pay for a week

[robust creek]

me only always static pay

[peak terrace]

rose 2 dead

rose 1 taking over

[robust creek]

🥗

[waxen pollen]

that used to be my norm too. I hope it stays

though it could be anywhere between $4 and $10 a day

[peak terrace]

the most I ever got was $5 a day

that was when the $/gb was higher for the UK

[short notch]

when the sgs does not start anymore means that the 🥗 is not only degraded but has mold in it so needs to be put into the trash bin (uninstal)

[old compass]

finally got some bandwidth jobs

past 24hr

[true halo]

that's probably just one lmao

[peak terrace]

it appears as if sgs killed itself

i don't get why salad stops chopping for absolutely no reason

I lost my CPU container as well

[gleaming shell]

me every other day:

[peak terrace]

for me salad is just disabling itself for seemingly no reason

[gleaming shell]

it pauses itself?

[peak terrace]

i open up my RDP connection and salad is running but stopped

[peak terrace]

yes

[gleaming shell]

huh

[peak terrace]

and I don't know why

it's very strange

oh well I had a good day today and yesterday on salad so i'm not mad

at least sgs starts instantly now, but i am annoyed now about the container

it is rather goofy

[gleaming shell]

cpu container tho pain

was it a high paying one

[peak terrace]

nah

like $0.5 a day

[gleaming shell]

ah
still tho pain

[peak terrace]

sgs has killed itself on my pc as well

it loves to unalive itself

[gleaming shell]

br

[peak terrace]

and on my pc it is not starting instantly

time to wait 6 hours

it ded

[gleaming shell]

pain

[peak terrace]

i'm not mad

just annoyed

need to monetize my channel

i have like £40 worth of adsense money and can't cash it out because it is under the min amount of £60

[peak terrace]

sgs lives again

this is some goofy software

[old compass]

damn ik this isnt the place for this kind of discussion but what types of videoes do you make?

[limber dome]

I assume salad using ur upload speed instead of download speed?

Is 100 upload good?

[dusty abyss]

how tf my ndm shows i have 1.8 mbps upload

201ms ping

103 mbps download

[dusty abyss]

yes

[upbeat shuttle]

Salad uses both your download and upload at the same time - the lower of either will be your limiting factor in how much bandwidth you can share

[upbeat shuttle]

100mbps is pretty alright for upload

Salad doesn't really tend to go above even 200mbps for most people

[peak terrace]

speakers and amplifiers

[dusty abyss]

@peak terrace

can ya help me ?

[peak terrace]

your upload and download speeds are good

sgs should work if librespeed doesn't shit itself and you are in a supported country

[dusty abyss]

i m in india !

[civic fern]

i don't need sgs, all i need is that my friends have fun on the mc server

pls gib me sgs

[dusty abyss]

💀

[peak terrace]

chai tea

[limber dome]

Cool hoping to see results from new installation soon

1000/100

[upbeat shuttle]

oof unsymmetrical

still decent

[jovial fiber]

pLs gIvE sGs To Us

[civic fern]

i will never get sgs

[jovial fiber]

i'll never be a star chef

[civic fern]

wait star chef is defined by for how long you've been chopping or for how long you've actually run any kind of workload?

[robust creek]

Me either

I get sgs at least but it's only static pay

Increase static pay back 👁️👍

[jovial fiber]

good question

[true halo]

You can only have it running on one device at a time per public IP address.

[peak terrace]

untrue

i run it on two devices and it works nicely

[true halo]

It wkn't increase your throughout, it'll either be same or worse.

[peak terrace]

i wasn't born yesterday

[true halo]

As you're limited to one job at a time per IP address.

[peak terrace]

I do it for double static pay

[true halo]

Enjoy it while it lasts ig

[peak terrace]

no sgs gets multiple small jobs at the same time and runs them at the same time

i do it also because it keeps my network saturated

[robust creek]

Fake, if your countries has more gateways you can use them with different devices on same ip

[true halo]

i think false would be the correct term but ok

[robust creek]

If it starts or no is salad deciding it but if it starts works and you're not doing anything against tos

[peak terrace]

[robust creek]

Italy had 2 gateways but now seems only 1... The second never came back from august

[hollow vortex]

False , I run 2 on same ip , simultaneously , different gateways .

[true halo]

Ok but do you actually get jobs on both at the same time? (Not static rate)

[peak terrace]

I do

using two I can keep my network saturated so I am always getting peak earnings

[hollow vortex]

Yes . Not static .

[thorny imp]

If i BW on both my main PC and also my laptop, will it to double the jobs, or will it simultaneously work on the same BW container/job?

[upbeat shuttle]

can't really tell, but it sure would be two jobs

[peak terrace]

it would be multiple jobs fighting for the same bandwidth

[true halo]

Yeah it will still be limited by your ISPs bandwidth cap

Which if less than 150mbit upload then will be splitting between both

Having one machine taking all the bandwidth may be better than 2 machines taking half each. But having 2 machines on a high bandwidth connection would be better if you have like 500mbit upload.

[peak terrace]

for me this is not a bad thing

it means my upload stays saturated so i'm always earning maximum

[upbeat shuttle]

ehh I wouldn't say that
