Imagine
Ozua
Trying to be a comunity helper and see various option :

Salad 300$/month
A 150 $/month
B 100$/month

Then ozua Will go to Salad.
Then suddently one day he recived 100$/month instead of 300$.
Then he can leave salad and go to A

This Is what happened to me, salad was the best app paying me more than any others bandwith app, but now It became Worse of few apps

in italy doesn't work the "run it when you need it" because takes 6-7 hours just to get the sgs running xD then no traffic at all, you see i would earn 3$ a month, what's the point?

the new requirement seems 100mbps in italy, if you have lower you will never get sgs running

upbeat shuttle
#

Salad's customers want that bandwidth in the UK for a reason.

scarlet ravine
sullen sand
#

probably better content on amazon / bbc etc ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

scarlet ravine
sullen sand
#

it'll change over time

#

or it's asymetrical warfare to overload digital infrastructure over time

upbeat shuttle
#

I'd guess to access the myriad of region locked content, or the lower latency to their UK based servers / users, or to see how UK people see the customers' websites in search results, or any other use case that I'm not aware of / don't remember

sullen sand
#

take your pick lol

Maybe possible UK has stronger anti-piracy laws too? So people go to this kind of proxy/vpn services more maybe.

robust creek
#

We are talking about feeling abused for low paying for bandwidth

sullen sand
#

bandwidth usage can have drastic changes to power usage, especially if you run your own switches etc

sullen sand
robust creek
#

This is a lesson for salad customers, if you pay low you will get less ips to use

Salad has no obligation to give us anything, likewise we have no obligation to run Salad

#

I think I'm going to stop trying to reason with you at this point

sullen sand

well this has been a blast (not as good as baha blast, but a blast nonetheless)
i'm off out for some nicotine lol

# sullen sand i use these

I have one of these. Always depressing to see that idle doing nothing takes 70-80w (AMD not good at idle).

I come back use if it's worth otherwise no. Closed topic

How can you even keep gaming if you have salad running and using 100% gpu? It was lagging hard in my end

#

I couldn't use my pc, that for just 0,70$ a day

upbeat shuttle
#

I don't

#

I disable my CPU and GPU in Salad when I wanna game

scarlet ravine
#

And you play with 50 of ping ?

upbeat shuttle
#

?

scarlet ravine
#

If you play while you using salad bandwith you get a higher latency in game

upbeat shuttle
#

No you don't

sullen sand
#

It all depends on the game, and other factors

upbeat shuttle
#

Unless if your router is super weak and can't handle much, bandwidth sharing shouldn't noticeably affect your latency in games

scarlet ravine
#

Ok

upbeat shuttle
#

AMD, 5800x

sullen sand
upbeat shuttle
#

PSU inefficiencies probably brings it up a bit, yeah

#

plus maybe a couple % inaccuracy since it's just software reported

silk wraith
upbeat shuttle
#

yeah I'm just on about my CPU though ;)

#

if you meant total system draw at idle, nvm you have a fair point

silk wraith
#

Yeah, you should check at the wall for fun. It adds up fast. Cores sleep are efficient, it's the stuff around it I think.

Where do you check your ip score?

^^ for both of you

i have speeds higher than 10mbps and im in the uk

is this normal?

#

like sharing 55gb while earning 33 cents ;-;

subtle swallow
#

Why is my IP high score? It's just your normal internet connection. I don't even have a proxy

subtle condor
#

You could have just got assigned a bad IP, if you're IP is dynamic you should be able to get assigned a new one by turning your router off for like 10 minutes then turning it back on again @subtle swallow

is the gibson gateway in canada or czechia glasswire says its in canada and i am in canada

upbeat shuttle
#

^

#

gibson is czechia

frigid reef
#

(the location is in czechia this means thats where the server is hosted, this dosent mean its limited to that country but most of the time it does or one close to that country)

upbeat shuttle
#

it'd be a bit goofy for salad to use a cz gateway for someone in canada

frigid reef
upbeat shuttle
#

@shrewd terrace could you check the ip checking sites here to check that your IP is seen as being in the right country?

frigid reef
#

add it to the list

upbeat shuttle
#

done

shrewd terrace
upbeat shuttle
#

oh?

#

to be fair, i didn't double check with other ip services

#

I think it being in czechia was just outdated info, maybe

maybe

upbeat shuttle

I'll move gibson from cz to ca

So quick update regarding bandwidth sharing on my devices.
it has not started since 1.3.3 released last week. (across all my devices I have had a single cpu container which lasted about 20 hours) where as before that it was working practically everyday for months before 1.3.3. I can only assume there has been changes in the backend which were not communicated to the community and/or salad devs screwed the pooch in the backend somehow as even downgrading a couple of my rigs to 1.3.1 at the start of the weekend still have not been assigned bandwidth jobs.
(please dont suggest availability/demand as being at play as other people with less available bandwidth and lower uptime have received bandwidth in my area lol - one of them about 5min walk away)

anyhoo I have travel plans and won't be back until new years. I'll update on the situation then as most of the rigs will still be up.

well this is perfectly fine my best guess is there is very little demand for bandwidth in your area

#

dont worry its the same here in australia

thorny imp
#

Hmm

light isle

i get sgs sometimes

thorny imp
#

how long is "sometimes"

#

like every 2 weeks?

light isle

pretty much

#

i dont have it atm but i had it last week

thorny imp
#

i dont even have static pay, that's how bad my trafic for any kind of bandwidth is kek

#

It's the same for my friend in sweden

#

But my friend in norway has static pay + bw jobs

#

same with my friend in netherlands

thorny imp
#

its just bandwidth that doesnt work

light isle
#

just seems like some places dont have much demand

thorny imp
#

Unfortunate but it is what it is i guess

light isle

#

i wish the servers was a tiny bit more generalised, like maybe a "Nordic" server that is Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway instead of them being separate

What the heck. I used to get upards of $10 a day too. But a few months ago it crashed for me. After months of getting high amounts of traffic. Highest was 33TBs in a single month. I'm lucky to get GBs a month now. I don't get it

it actually crashed right after the football ended

#

I don't get how others in the UK are getting a crap load of traffic and i'm barely getting GBs a month. I'm a star chef and my PC is on 24/7

#

all i get it static pay

#

Well for the most part

upbeat shuttle
#

*star chef doesn't apply to bandwidth sharing

#

also I think with people in the UK, at least, it could be just because you were unlucky and got a gateway that has very little bandwidth demand

waxen pollen
#

i'm on that one right now. Never heard of it

upbeat shuttle
#

xp 2 isn't too bad iirc

waxen pollen

and these are the ones i've had recently

at least when I remoted into one of my laptops a couple days ago, I saw it was getting alright throughput

waxen pollen
#

thats it's throughput, Or at least for me

#

thats my last 30 on those 4 gateways. Or i'm guessing are each different gateways

you can also tell when we got a new update too. It had just come back....

i used to earn around $300 a month with salad. Now it's much much lower

hm that one's not bad

thorn lantern
upbeat shuttle
#

it's not really easy to figure out which one's the best

#

I just know which ones have been getting acceptable throughput recently

thorn lantern
#

while your here does salad still do cpu containers and do u have to wait for a job

upbeat shuttle
#

yeah

thorn lantern
#

when it came it

upbeat shuttle
#

yep that was the first

thorn lantern
#

once i got $3 an hour

#

in the night

upbeat shuttle
#

do you mean $3 over the night?

thorn lantern
upbeat shuttle
#

because $3 an hour with only 26mbps upload doesn't sound possible

thorn lantern
#

it did happen

upbeat shuttle
#

you're limited by the slower of the two

#

which is your 26 upload

#

"what goes down, has to go up"

thorn lantern
#

i blame virgin media

#

but for ยฃ20/month is not bad

thorn lantern
upbeat shuttle
#

.

#

you're sharing your bandwidth

thorn lantern
#

is it not for streaming only ?

#

i qoute Salad guarantees that your bandwidth is only used for streaming content from legal, reputable sites.

upbeat shuttle
#

"Salad helps relieve this load off said company's servers, and instead streams the video (or whatever other content it may be) through a Salad Chef located in that region instead!"

#

key word, 'through'

#

your PC downloads content from, for example, a streaming site, then uploads said content to Salad's gateway - which then sends that content straight to Salad's customer(s)

thorn lantern
#

makes sense

upbeat shuttle
#

it's effectively the same thing

thorn lantern
#

ooh my bad

upbeat shuttle
#

I guess it just goes to Salad's gateway for additional security or something

thorn lantern
#

your good at support ngl

thorn lantern
upbeat shuttle
#

I assume they mean 1gbps down heh

#

I've seen others in the UK with those speeds too

thorn lantern
#

how would it work sgs client i swear the minimum is 10mbps down

I have two questions for you. (Just trying to see if you can run salad on linux)

  1. Is the latest version that supports linux 0.5.8?
  2. Can you use wine to run salad?
rocky orbit
#

And no

#

Wine does not work with Salad

#

Think of it like running Valorant on Wine

#

It is impossible

#

Salad uses WSL which isn't supported in Wine

#

and uses weird features like setting GPU-Z as driver or kernel (whatever its called nowadays) which isn't supported by Wine

light isle
#

some types of wine taste pretty good

short notch
patent fulcrum
#

You seem to have a misunderstanding of this arrangement. You're arguing that Salad provide a stipend with your talk of "a living" as if this service is meant to be providing you welfare of some sorts? What kind of fantasy do you live in that ask that you're paid something when it is not being utilised by the sole benefactors that make Salad a viable business for everyone, the customers. No, and to the other people who beg to continue making these unreasonabe claims that in the long term will ruin it for other regions.

#

You region doesn't have bandwidth customers who utilise Salad, tough, maybe you should convince them to use Salad if you're so strung up on it.

short notch
safe loom
#

whatโ€™re you yapping about

#

salad wonโ€™t have hardware and bandwidth to rent if you donโ€™t run it. thatโ€™s because thatโ€™s how it works

#

youโ€™re renting your resources out

#

if your resources arenโ€™t utilised you wonโ€™t be paid

#

ok so i live in romania, where bw sharing isnt supported, if i connect to a vpn, the connection being Romania, i get the bandwith thingy

#

if i dont have a vpn

upbeat shuttle

It may show the card, but you won't get any actual bandwidth sharing jobs

woven tundra
#

i dont get the card

#

no

#

i live

but if i connect to a romania vpn i get the card?

that makes 0 sense

upbeat shuttle

maybe the vpn's IP address is somehow being seen as being in a different country

woven tundra

i doubt

upbeat shuttle

happens more often than you'd think, with IPs that are often cycled

also

#

do i get normal containers while connected to a vpn?

#

I think it's $0.0058 per gb here in the us

#

But there is demand here though (not much but still)

upbeat shuttle
#

salad's pay per gb might indeed be lower than its competitors', though salad does tend to have more traffic throughput to offset that

#

iirc other bw sharing apps don't tend to fully utilise your connection, if much at all

gleaming shell
#

Honestly no point of other apps advertising their pay per GB when 90 percent of the time no bandwidth gets shared

#

Except for trying to get users

upbeat shuttle

yeah a big issue with other apps is that they have too many users

but they want a windows computer running for even just share your connection

#

wtf?

#

if they really want to pay low, at least make your application available on less power consuming hardware so it's at least worth even if they pay low

#

windows computers consumes too much and produces heat noise

#

there's 2 types of data sharing things

#

oneis data scraping

#

one is content delivery

short notch
#

salad data scraping doesn't pay higher , that's the more scammy thing

opal galleon
#

if you even compare honeygain content delivery rates they are minute

short notch
#

they probably sell your connection for 5$ per gb

opal galleon
#

only content delivery

even then, salad is the best out there. you probably can't find a better alternative than this

salad seems silently doing datascraping with your ip, they should pay higher for that

they shouldn't even have to give static pay

short notch
#

tell me for how much they sell our connection

#

per gb

#

i'm curious

opal galleon
#

i don't know why it exists

short notch
#

is a hidden information, they don't show it

#

because is probalby 3$ per gb

#

users would get furious

opal galleon
#

akamai charges 0.06-0.12

#

depends on how much you use

#

if you use more it's more expensive

#

wait no

#

it's less expensive if you use more

short notch
#

why they don't make us choose how much we wanna get paid per gb? if we set too high they don't buy simply, but i think they will buy if there are not other people available with high quality connection etc

#

i would set minimum 0,10 per gb

you're failing to understand something so simple here

if the customers don't want your bandwidth, they don't want your bandwidth

you're not being abused by Salad because their customers don't want your bandwidth

Not everyone is going to earn great from Salad - you don't see people with microwave PCs complaining every day because they can't earn from Salad

If Salad isn't for you, move on.

Salad is marketed as a way for people to earn passive income with unused resources and that's all there is no guarantee that it will make you rich or anything, if you don't like it then it's not for you

i introduced salad to my friend

#

he made $5 in a day

totally not jealous

which i don't completely blame them for

#

salad always seems like a rlly easy way to earn through for a starter

and then as the months pass by, you realise how earning moni is never rlly ez

i mean, salad is specifically targetted towards 'gamers' anyways, with those juicy RTX's

i don't understand also why salad connects to other people in my country using my conneciton, i see some residential ips being connected and transfering data with me

hear me out, some things use p2p nodes

streaming with p2p nodes? then is illegal stuff probably

or is not streaming

p2p is just as valid as client-server

it's just an alternative networking setup that some companies use

for?

even twitch has used it

in some cases

just because its p2p dosent mean its illegal

and what they did then? i don't see anything like netflix rai play (italy television) etc, i just see 4GB of data has been transfered with those residential ips

Decides to get Salad
Installs and agrees on the ToS
blames salad for data scraping while it clearly says what they do with your bandwidth
proceeds to complain for multiple days about the same thing
Still complains even though they're told exactly what they use it for

What is your end goal here? Salad is trying to future proof salad so that it doesn't stop working within 6 months hence the static going from 0.01 > 0.005 > 0.0025.
Salad is also still in a Beta form, everything is subject to change (which i believe is mentioned in the ToS)

If you dont like salad, simply uninstall it.

They're not forced to pay you anything if you dont want it.
