on my server however (the machine RDP'd into) it will pause for no reason so it's not as good

#

i thought salad doesn’t work when u rdp

upbeat shuttle
#

RDP isn't VM

try and use anydesk, it should work

Remote Desktop Protocol

it works fine

upbeat shuttle
#

they're just accessing their other PC from their main PC

#

yes ^

#

no?? heeeee

#

you are thinking of a hypervisor i think

upbeat shuttle
#

Depends what kinda people you usually talk to I guess

#

strictly speaking, scelli is right

#

but I've also seen people refer to (cloud) VMs by that too

gleaming wraith
peak terrace
#

yes

#

it is my server machine

gleaming wraith
#

isn’t it basically impossible to have two sgs clients running on the same network

#

or has it changed

peak terrace
#

it depends on how many sgs gateways exist in your country

#

the number of gateways = maximum number of sgs clients per network

#

it would be like totally hilarious if salad pauses itself on my server tonight

#

bro sgs hasnt even opened since i updated it

#

how do i get it to open

#

or how do i roll back the update

#

1.3.1 scammed me man -_-

#

Now I'm not even getting bandwith earnings

chilly peak
#

the updates have nothing to do with the backend and job availability

#

correlation isn't causation

vocal hill
#

I used to have like 13-14 hours of consistent earnings for 5 days straight

#

And after I updated to 1.3.1 salad's been doing the wonky on me

#

So coincidence? I think not -_-

#

It was an easy 40-50 cents per day and half now it's zero ever since I updated. No containers, no bandwith no nothing

peak terrace
#

wait a bit longer thumbsup

#

it's so stupid

no one else in my entire area, only my street

how do i make the bandwith speed test consistent

mine always just decreases

when everywhere else it stays at a consistent speed

upbeat shuttle
#

you're not the only one, dw

though the only way to stay within the TOS for workarounds is just to keep restarting saladbowl until you get decent results

waiting for bandwidth jobs is hell

#

salad decreased rates to 0,25 to italy too now.. wtf

#

i think i'm gonna protest by uninstalling the app once i reach the paypal goal

peak terrace
#

static pay fell lmao

robust creek
#

for me went from 0,50 to 0,25

#

fuck salad, gonna uninstall when i reach the 6$

#

not worth anymore

peak terrace
#

i will see how it is now

#

i had gpu mining on so it is inconsistent

robust creek
#

because we are not talking about traffic, it's static pay

gleaming shell
#

im not sure if they removed static pay in the us or something is broken on my side, but i dont get static pay anymore

peak terrace
#

it's literally free money and if you are relying on it for anything you already have big problems

robust creek
#

finally i can turn off the pc overnight

upbeat shuttle
#

you ignored the point

#

static pay could've very easily been removed a while ago

#

I'm surprised it still exists at all.

#

It's called bandwidth sharing, not sitting as an idle node and getting paid

robust creek
#

static pay exists for countries with little or no traffic , oh wow just like italy

#

is not my fault you're in uk and have a ton of traffic

#

and can't understand how important was static for me

#

i havent signed any contract, if i don't accept the new pay rates i leave, no one can say anything

upbeat shuttle
#

You're taking this way too seriously and are still not understanding the reality of the situation

robust creek
#

there is nothing to understand

peak terrace
#

no one is forcing you to use salad

#

if you don't like it then stop using it

upbeat shuttle
#

Whatever, you are more than welcome to leave

robust creek
peak terrace
#

i do not feel this

robust creek
#

i uninstall when i reach 6$ for paypal

peak terrace
#

and even if they did force you why should you care

robust creek
#

i'm at 5.86

wtf why earnings are that trash rn

robust creek

upbeat shuttle
#

okay

peak terrace
#

me when the not reliable free money generator becomes slightly worse

chilly peak
#

also can't really blame salad for there not being as much demand in italy compared to other countries

#

the bandwidth has to be used by someone

#

bandwidth sharing and containers heavily rely on demand from customers

#

"protesting" by deleting salad isn't going to magically increase demand

robust creek
#

this is given from salad not customers

chilly peak
#

it's better than absolutely no earnings at least

civic fern
#

More for me ig

#

Yay

#

copium, but that's alright

hollow vortex
# chilly peak it's better than absolutely no earnings at least

Nah, cause if he don't normally leave his PC on , its kinda a waste. He was just being clear that it's not worth it leaving it on. Where to I I leave mine on 24/7 so makes no difference how much or little I get. However if there was some kind of protest , I'd surely join 🙂

hollow vortex
robust creek
#

when decrease it again and again, i'm out

upbeat shuttle
#

you can also just only run Salad when your PC would be on normally

#

and not run it 24/7 just for Salad

robust creek
#

better keep uninstalled

subtle swallow
#

why are Virginia librespeed servers flipping me over despair

#

Especially on the 24/7 bandwidth laptop

#

Which I do need to dust that thing out soon tbh

#

It got both a minecraft server and a salad bandwidth on 6gig of ram it’s being worked

gleaming shell
#

It's gonna choke out sgs or some shit making it die faster than it already dies by itself

#

(from my experience)

Added some countries to the supported list - Some of these were already supported, but in the 'in testing' list because they weren't officially announced yet. I think there'll be an official announcement of some kind about this soon.

  • Canada, India, Japan, Netherlands, South Africa, Switzerland.
upbeat shuttle
#

did you mean eucalyptus?

#

anyways I've updated the pinned posts a bit

#

reworded some things, updated some things

subtle condor
#

bandwidth doing godly things

upbeat shuttle
#

I've had a thought - maybe, in some scenarios, your router could be limiting how much bandwidth you can share, just by being too weak to handle all the throughput.
Anyone here that seems to be hitting some kind of limit with Salad using your bandwidth - that isn't an ISP set limit - and has a router that lets you see its CPU utilisation, are you able to confirm this?

peak terrace
#

i can confirm this just by transferring big ass files across my local network with my gigabit LAN connection through my ISP provided router

upbeat shuttle
#

that's a good point

peak terrace
#

it is full speed for a few minutes and then slows down to like 700mbit, and i am fairly sure this is just the router as no hdd cache is filling up or anything

#

though the web interface has no cpu monitor

upbeat shuttle
#

if it slows down after a bit of time, that probably sounds like thermal throttling?

peak terrace
#

yes likely

#

it gets very warm

upbeat shuttle
#

I don't think mine manages to overheat, it's built with decent surface area

#

probably just too weak

peak terrace
#

i have not opened mine up but i bet it's just a metal shield that keeps the soc cool

peak terrace
#

isp routers don't use thermal paste usually

#

most of the time it is just thermal pads and heatspreaders

hollow vortex

read the full message

#

it is ssd to ssd also

hollow vortex
#

Ssd are fast but remember they read faster then they can write

hollow vortex
peak terrace
#

hence i specified "big ass files"

#

one is on sata 6g, the other is on nvme

#

the overall bandwidth available is more than enough to saturate a gigabit lan connection

#

i know computers as well, do not worry

upbeat shuttle

#

per port or overall?

upbeat shuttle
#

in other news, Twitch has pulled out of South Korea due to exorbitant bandwidth costs

#

should've used salad 😤

peak terrace
#

because in south korea the ISP can charge both the sender and receiver of packets instead of just the receiver

upbeat shuttle
#

yee

#

'double dipping'

hollow vortex
# peak terrace per port or overall?

I believe overall , only have two ports , so that 1 gig per port plus wifi still pretty good for free . Cause I run a hub after my fiber box and run my wi-fi off my hub so really don't even use my router for anything other then wifi , just an extra hop when I pull straight from the hub.

@safe loom
I checked my logs today, and apparently there's a third gateway for Australia now

safe loom
#

yes!

#

i noticed yesterday

#

or well

#

yesterday morning

#

i pinged ozua but ozua cba to edit the pins trol

upbeat shuttle
#

i literally already have

#

oh sorry nvm you're legally blind

peak terrace
#

i am going to shit yourself

sinful lark
#

Is there a way to maximise my bw earnings

upbeat shuttle
#

Reduce network traffic from your device / other devices, run Salad more often

#

that's about it

#

Oh and you could also be on hard wired ethernet, not wifi

sinful lark
#

👍

#

Why do my band with earnings cap out at a certain amount

upbeat shuttle
#

at what amount do they cap out at?

#

and do you notice Salad's bandwidth usage hitting your internet speed limits?

sinful lark
#

0.0034

#

Not really sure about weather there hitting since I'm not at my pc

#

Is there any way t check

upbeat shuttle
#

probably with task manager, or some bandwidth monitoring app like glasswire

safe loom
#

theres no current demand for you node but since its online and ready for demand you're being paid a static amoutn per 15 mins

#

like this

sinful lark
#

Is it gkn be like that for a long time?

safe loom
#

not always

#

sometimes youll have high demand and earn well above

sinful lark
#

Alright

safe loom
#

sometimes you wont and it will be static

#

some days you wont even get static

#

its really just patience

sinful lark
#

Do you get a higher chance of higher demand jobs if you leave it on.

#

?

safe loom
#

yes

#

higher uptime is always better

sinful lark
#

Okay thanks

#

It started going up a bit now btw

Italy static pay increased back up yet?

you are one in a krillion

#

i don't think they care if it is installed on your computer or not

#

there are many other italians who would run it and not care

robust creek
#

i have a very good internet, they loved my 300mbps upload

peak terrace
#

my sgs died on both my server and pc at the same time

#

funky

sinful lark
#

Damn I've only been getting static earnings no jobs

#

Is the only way to know if there is demand for your node is through increased earnings

thorny imp
#

I've been running salad for about 6 hours today and it's not downloaded sgs-client yet. I'm in Sweden if that helps which should have sgs-client available.

#

However, my friend in the netherlands got his sgs-client in the workloads folder in a few minutes

sinful lark
#

Is bandwith even profitable in australia?

upbeat shuttle
#

no idea, I'll ping @safe loom since he probably uses it, and idk why other aussies here

upbeat shuttle
# thorny imp However, my friend in the netherlands got his sgs-client in the workloads folder...

Since bandwidth sharing demand is on a per country basis, it could just be that the Netherlands is in higher demand from Salad's customer(s) than Sweden is currently.
Just in case, I'd recommend reading through the pinned minimum requirements post to make sure that you do indeed meet the minimum requirements.
You could also check out the other pinned posts to maybe try some troubleshooting steps or read some FAQs that might help :)

thorny imp
#

i dont use VPNs at all so idk why it says this

upbeat shuttle
#

hm

#

could've just got unlucky, and your ISP gave you an IP that was previously used by someone else for some sus stuff

#

i think the pins include a guide to refresh your IP address

#

if not, there's guides online

#

I've gotta sleep, hope it works out for you :)

thorny imp
#

👍

sinful lark
#

Also why cant i see salad in glass wire?

#

It doesnt seem to show up

upbeat shuttle
#

bw sharing usage should show up under 'sgs-client.exe'

sinful lark
#

Wait in what section of glasswire though>

#

?

#

i cant see it here

silk ice
#

if it isn't there it means the bandwith sharing hasn't started yet

sinful lark
#

really but i've been earning money from it

#

its in here

silk ice
#

that's probably static earnings and cpu/gpu container

sinful lark
sinful lark
silk ice
#

whats your gpu

sinful lark
#

1650

#

its disabled in salad rn tho

#

so yeah

silk ice
#

thats fine

#

its probably static earnings

#

from just having salad open

sinful lark
#

damn

#

how long do static earnings even last for

#

i've had them for a while

#

like 10 hrs

silk ice
#

oh they will stay

#

yesterday it took me like 18 hours to get sgs-client to show up in glasswire

sinful lark
#

how much did you earn from that job if you dont mind me asking?

#

i got this little spike here

#

does that mean i had a job for a bit?

silk ice
#

hover over it

#

rq

sinful lark
#

wait hover over what?

silk ice
#

the spikes

sinful lark
#

ok

silk ice
#

static pay for me is $0.002 every 15 mins, so yea maybe

#

idk

sinful lark
#

mt static pay is 0.003 same for another guy in here

#

how much did you earn from the job you got

silk ice
#

like 2-3 cents every 15 mins

sinful lark
#

and how long did it last

#

if you do know?

#

the container

silk ice
#

that was bandwith sharing so like a couple hours till my pc decided to crash lol

sinful lark
#

damn

sinful lark
silk ice
#

yea

sinful lark
#

alr

sinful lark
#

Before it was only usin 0.1mbps

#

now its using 4.1

#

does that mena i mightve got a job

upbeat shuttle
#

^^ @grizzled hedge

sinful lark
#

Does bandwith stop working if i play games?

upbeat shuttle
#

It shouldn't really

#

unless if your game is pretty bandwidth intensive, or maxes out your CPU

sinful lark
#

yeah

#

it maxed out my cpu \

sinful lark
upbeat shuttle
#

It'll start by itself when it wants to, just leave Salad running :)

sinful lark
#

Alright thank you

#

Is there any way to get SGS to use anymore of my network

#

so i can earn more

#

sorry if thats a stupid question

upbeat shuttle
#

it'll use as much as it needs to

peak terrace
sinful lark
#

Are you less likely to get jobs at night?

upbeat shuttle
#

hm

#

I suppose other people in your country probably won't have their PCs running overnight, so you might earn a bit more, since you're not sharing some of the pot with them

peak terrace
silk ice
#

do you get bandwith jobs faster with star chef status?

#

or is that only for containers

upbeat shuttle
#

Star chef only applies to containers

#

though it can be earned from chopping with anything enabled

all of a sudden

This also happened to me 2 days ago

#

Still waiting for sgs to start again

upbeat shuttle
#

heh it's gotten a bit rougher over the past few days

#

it's died on two of my PCs of non Salad related causes (bsod + blocked by router) and hasn't really came back

#

at least, until last night

#

i haven't checked it this morning

#

hopefully it's come back on those PCs

it just simplifies the log file no?

upbeat shuttle
#

it 'technically' breaks the tos

light isle
#

hmm weird, i guess ill "delete" it from my pc

tardy swan
#

they dont want you reading logs 😱 (this is only an assumption)

upbeat shuttle
#

it's likely because it might enable someone to reserve engineer Salad easily

hollow vortex
#

Lol smh .

#

If they don't want anyone to read log files they should encrypt them .

#

Log files are created to be read. Am I wrong 🙂 you're not modifying anything.

hollow vortex
#

That's based on assumption .

#

Not what it actually did.

upbeat shuttle
#

read my message, but again

hollow vortex
#

If someone wants to reverse engineer , they will do it regardless . I don't think they're going to talk about it knowing it could be legal troubles .

hollow vortex
upbeat shuttle
#

on god

#

no carp

civic fern
#

imagine banning log files reading scripts

frigid reef
#

Its more they dont want third party programs of salad that they cannot keep confirming if its safe or not

civic fern
#

by this logic, i shouldn't even use Snaketail for log auto-update and reading then

#

thus, i shouldn't read the logs at all

frigid reef
#

again, its more because they dont want a third party program going around that they cant double check is doing anything sus

civic fern
#

um...

#

and... what can a third party program do to a log file exactly?

frigid reef
#

again, How can they make sure its only reading a log file and not doing something else aka cookie grabbing etc

#

if they dont have the time to check it

civic fern
#

that's... actually a good argument

#

eh

#

either that or i don't wanna keep going with this

upbeat shuttle
#

so personal use is fine, just don't share anything

civic fern

technically yeah

they said they were gonna actually have an announcement for these countries that were 'officially' supported, but not announced

#

but that hasn't happened yet

sinful lark
#

my sgs client came back

#

yessir

#

and basically the 100ms ping requirement can't even be reached in india :/

i got like 80/80 speeds still no sgs

sinful lark
#

india has crazy good internet

upbeat shuttle
sinful lark
#

if you get fiber

#

its very good internet in india

upbeat shuttle
#

maybe I should reword my minimum requirements post a lil

#

the 100ms thing is just inferred from Salad's SGS promotion material

opal galleon
#

but there's a 1000 routing issues

#

and even sgs isn't coming up

#

even though i reached the speed requirement

#

this has been an issue since beta :/

sinful lark
#

Damn when I was in india I had no issue I had like 300 up and 70 down or something crazy like that

sinful lark
opal galleon
opal galleon
#

see the internet is usable but stuff like packet loss and ping spikes and bad routing are a common problem

which never get fixed

and to get those fixed, you need to give like a 100 things

#

Fiber has been reliable so far

#

From jio

Why js the bandwidth sharing jobs so bad in Australia

i have sgs and one surprisingly profitable container

#

waiting for sgs on my server to start up as well

subtle condor
#

got the container back now too :3

#

peak terrace
#

For some reason it would appear as if sgs is transferring lots of bandwidth but I am not earning anything, only static pay

light isle
peak terrace
#

i have been earning the same flat rate for the entire night and looking at glasswire shows that a lot of bandwidth has been used over the night

#

it is very strange

light isle
#

thats is strange

#

i have sgs running but its doing nothing

peak terrace
#

I am getting just sgs static pay

#

But glasswire and task manager shows sgs has been sharing a lot of bandwidth for the past couple of hours

#

behold

#

sgs not earning anything anymore

#

you can see at that big block with the container where sgs just stopped earning me anything

#

maybe salad is compensating for that big ass container I got that used no resources?

#

it's weird

#

if it's not fixed by this evening i will email support

upbeat shuttle
#

no, containers and bandwidth sharing are entirely different things

#

what gateway is that?

peak terrace
#

Rose

hollow vortex
peak terrace
#

Yes because that's the container carrying me

#

Sgs should show up as small bumps on that long flat section but it is not

hollow vortex
#

Look closer , it's not flat

#

sgs running finally

subtle condor
#

Sgs-Client has used 300gb and I have been paid 0 for it

#

great job Salad

upbeat shuttle
#

been seeing a few people saying the same thing

subtle condor
#

I better get this back I swear

upbeat shuttle
#

I'll ask about it

subtle condor
#

I don't wanna stop/reinstall Salad because I'm consistently getting bandwidth jobs

upbeat shuttle
#

could you send a screenshot of glasswire's graph view, with just sgs client selected?

subtle condor

there’s ups and downs with them but nothing that potentially a new router could fix

just gotta find one that supports coax and we’re off to the races

have an issue where the wifi will randomly restart, then come back online at capped speeds

Hi, since the latest update was released both of my PC's have failed to initiate sgs-client.exe for bandwidth sharing. ( I've attempted a complete uninstallation of both salad, and WSL, shift+restart, and then reinstallation of salad+WSL and still nada)

Support have been quite unhelpful and just providing me with a copy&paste responses to my questions and closing my support tickets.

Just wondering if this a common thing with this update or not 🤷‍♂️

upbeat shuttle

#

Note: The only program developed by Salad is the official Salad app (http://www.salad.com/download)
We aren't able to provide support for any others, and we can't guarantee that they're safe to use.

sullen sand
#

It's been working great the past couple of months. other than a 6-12hour wait for sgs-client to initiate after a reboot or salad update (and by working great, I mean several terabytes per month in bandwidth usage)

#

but since the last salad update a few days ago it just doesn't initiate.

#

My salad apps says they're chopping, but my total hours chopping doesn't increase on the earnings overview webpage 🤷‍♂️

upbeat shuttle
#

hm

#

has your IP changed since then?

sullen sand
#

nope, I am on static IP with a positive IPscore rating

upbeat shuttle
#

hmm

#

is sgs-client.exe running in Task Manager currently?

sullen sand
#

no 😄 it hasn't initiated on either PC since the latest salad update was released.

#

Three days ago if memory serves

upbeat shuttle
#

hmmm

sullen sand
#

I'll just keep waiting and maybe it'll start 🤷‍♂️ This is by far the longest I've had no sgs-client running though, it's a little irritating

#

it's usually fantastic, anywhere between $2 and $8 a day just for bandwidth (very rarely do I get CPU containers - I don't allow GPU usage what so ever.)

upbeat shuttle
#

yeah it's usually really good in the UK

#

it could just be down to supply and demand

sullen sand
#

I highly doubt it

upbeat shuttle
#

I'll also note that there's currently some payout issues with Bandwidth Sharing in the UK and India, so keep an eye on if sgs client shows up in task manager

sullen sand
#

I've been watching for it lol, that's how I know it hasn't started 😄

i agree 😄

Kind of an open question, but what's the longest have you had to wait for sgs-client to start?
Mine usually starts within 12hours of telling salad to chop indefinitely.
Now I'm up to 3 days (very nearly 4) 😦

I'm going to unistall salad, they lowered the static pay and the SGS client slots to 0,25$ and now it isn't barely worth, SGS starts after 3/4 h, if you are lucky, when you get SGS it last for max 2 days then it die.
This company is slowing dying, why someone would give you their gpu, CPU if it isn't worth anymore to keep on their PC Just for getting 0,24$/day and few cents for destroying their hardware, also there is no traffic for bandwith in others country execpt UK.
This company went from one of the best passive income to now, one of the worst.
In my opinion if the company won't increase the rate everyone will leave salad.

#

Do you think it's fair having 2 TB/month of bandwith in UK and in other country 0?

sullen sand
#

2tb? that's low for the UK =/
try 10tb
but yeah bw sharing is weird, you can have decent bandwidth in uk and be passed up for someone with low bandwidth in the uk

#

it's been kind of weird since last week

scarlet ravine
#

I Hope so everyone will leave salad

sullen sand
#

well thats a bit much, i do understand your frustration though

Imagine how I feel being in the UK with 120mb up/down, and then not having sgs-client start at all since the release of 1.3.3, where as a friend with 50down 25up gets sgs-client started a few hours of installing salad 😅

so i really do understand your frustration

There are few IPS that cannot be ruined by ip quality score, if you pay ip quality score they can put your ip in a White list, i think your ISP paid for getting all the subnet in White list or you have a bug with il quality score

I run salad with gpu disabled as it's too expensive to run for mining

you can block the miners and leave gpu on to wait for a container
