#Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

Heat in winter ftw
the perfect user is a broke teenager starving for 0,01$ a day
I was gonna say that :(
If it costs more than electricity, it's worth it for no one.
teenagers don't pay bills xd
they don't care
Yeah, it's true some youngsters use salad because you can buy shit without a credit card. But salad cannot survive on this imo.
ooh they can for sure
they want users like that
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
Yeah that's why they've been working on containerised workloads, and bandwidth sharing which uses basically no additional electricity
i still need run my pc 24/7 for that amount of money with bw
If something else pays better, people should absolutely move away. That's healthy competition. But bandwidth is not worth a lot these days I'm afraid.
Unless we talk about high speeds which will use more cpu for the amounts of traffic, but the difference in power consumption is slim compared to containerized workloads
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?
I can see several issues with this analogy but I get your point, and my answer earlier remains the same, there's nothing that Salad can actually do about it. The customers are in control.
The most Salad could do is probably try to find more SGS customers, which they likely are.
That's what's been frustrating me with bw sharing lol
except im at almost 1 week
it happened to me once but after i got a 100mbps upload speedtest on salad sgs started after 7 hours
I'm at 6 months almost, and wish i gave a fuck to be honest
Salad can devide their 10 TB/month of traffic per user in the UK, also ti others country.
Not concentrate their fucking bandwith all in the UK

the new requirement seems 100mbps in italy, if you have lower you will never get sgs running
That's not how it works, I'm afraid.
Salad's customers want that bandwidth in the UK for a reason.
What's the reason
probably better content on amazon / bbc etc ๐คทโโ๏ธ
UK Is the best country of the world?
it'll change over time
or it's asymetrical warfare to overload digital infrastructure over time
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
take your pick lol
Doesn't exist a best country, every has their pros and cons
I keep an eye on my CPU's power usage, and I don't think it noticeably increases, even when I was at my all time high of bandwidth throughput
Maybe possible UK has stronger anti-piracy laws too? So people go to this kind of proxy/vpn services more maybe.
We are talking about feeling abused for low paying for bandwidth
you need to be checking your power draw from the wall, not from the cpu
bandwidth usage can have drastic changes to power usage, especially if you run your own switches etc
since leaving eu, these laws are being watered down. which could also have the impact of more customers wanting bandwidth here
This is a lesson for salad customers, if you pay low you will get less ips to use
Ah that'd be difficult to get any useful information from, since I also usually have a GPU container job that constantly changes in power consumption
I get your frustration, but I don't think you fully understand the relationship between us users and Salad
i use these
The relationship is users gets abused and the company gets rich ๐
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
Poor users still running it
well this has been a blast (not as good as baha blast, but a blast nonetheless)
i'm off out for some nicotine lol
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
so true!
I usually have the low power profile on unless if I'm gaming, it gets the CPU down to like 20-30w reported
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
And you play with 50 of ping ?
?
If you play while you using salad bandwith you get a higher latency in game
No you don't
It all depends on the game, and other factors
Unless if your router is super weak and can't handle much, bandwidth sharing shouldn't noticeably affect your latency in games
Ok
Wow that's low. amd or intel?
AMD, 5800x
I doubt that's idle from wall
PSU inefficiencies probably brings it up a bit, yeah
plus maybe a couple % inaccuracy since it's just software reported
At the wall, it's MB + SSDs + fans + idle CPU.
yeah I'm just on about my CPU though ;)
if you meant total system draw at idle, nvm you have a fair point
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.
no i never had issues even when salad was using 100mbps but is not what i was talking about in my complaint
whats the minimum speeds for download and upload
Where do you check your ip score?
i have speeds higher than 10mbps and im in the uk
Why is my IP high score? It's just your normal internet connection. I don't even have a proxy
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
your ip was used in the past for something that caused it to lose trust
atleast i still get bw job
is the gibson gateway in canada or czechia glasswire says its in canada and i am in canada
(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)
it'd be a bit goofy for salad to use a cz gateway for someone in canada
wait didnt cyph also have the gibson gateway?
@shrewd terrace could you check the ip checking sites here to check that your IP is seen as being in the right country?
its correct
pampas - Colombia
add it to the list
done
the dns record for gibson gateway points to an ip in canada https://fourtynintysix.lol/u/defensiveundefinedtrickyundefinedburro.png
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
I'll move gibson from cz to ca
i will go through them all on another one and double check their locations 

I think ipinfo.io has usually been more accurate than others
it saw that my IP block was in the UK way before ipqs
You have Marigold twice for the uk
Eucalyptus - Singapore
i thought it was just a fast residential plan
wait what did i not censor
the city
ohh
Louisiana, Louisiana
Iana
I've gotten container before, but not rn still waiting xD
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.
Gone about 12 days on current account and about 20 days on my old account and have not gotten sgs client on either one of them
Sweden ^
what is your internet speed?
in the ndm logs
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
Hmm
i get sgs sometimes
i dont even have static pay, that's how bad my trafic for any kind of bandwidth is 
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
Uninstall it xd
Nah, gpu mining works still so i aint complaining about that
its just bandwidth that doesnt work
just seems like some places dont have much demand
Unfortunate but it is what it is i guess
pretty much
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
Finland has no bw in salad i think
Yeah, but you get my point ๐
we won't include finland with the nordics :)
i have sent some kilobytes over my network
no
it seems as if salad is now only allowing one sgs per network
i have only had my PC running sgs and in this time none of my other devices have had it at all
150tb total used haha
how uk traffic?
it's been doing alright for me
graph? /;
yep got one of those
Must be you're trust score . I do 2tb a month for months . I've done more but 2 tb seems to be the low point average
i found out why my sgs has not been booting for the past ~3 weeks
my ISP assigned me a datacenter IP
gonna contact them later today after college and scream at them ๐
(i'm paying for a residential IP)
i have never seen this many simultaneous connections
it would appear as if my internet connection is in demand
What 46 connections?
That's nothing I've had over 300 in 5 mins
Yeah but that is US bandwidth no?
Yes but your internet is probably not 30mbps
That's not 46 clients btw. I believe it's one client - using multiple apps/services on there PC , and some apps connect to more then 1 url/IP .
Yea US
so hard to get jobs in salad
It's by demand.
i made more money off GPT websites
Then go?
i've waited 3 days and still no bandwidth
sgs client hasn't even installed
Wait longer . Not much demand probably .
What country
uk
46 IP addresses then
46 connections as I said
๐
Wait you did?
u were using honeygain before i think
ye just checked our dm history
oh not honeygain
mysterium vpn
I thought he found out about salad himself lol
I still host my node
About 100$ now chilling . Bout to stake it actually
hello
when i click into bandwith~sgs~ it says
i found out the porblem
i had to let sgs download
someone help me get sgs inthe usa
How exactly
salad normally downloads everything automatically when it needs it
I know but he said he let salad download that means there was something blocking it from downloading like firewall or smth so I asked what exactly was block it
No
last bandwidth logs made was almost 2 months ago
i had to leave it running for like 3-4 days
the bidirthroughput is very low, however
welp im leaving my pc on for like 6+ days so hopefully i get some results
all good things must come to an end
and then they come back
alright for some. I've had 2 good days out of the last month
and most other months have been just as rubbish ๐ฆ Even my mate who lives up in Scotland is getting better traffic them me ๐ญ
no it means i think that salad is thinking if you are eligible for a job and waits a bit if that you did not switch on your computer by accident so in the next minute you wont switch it off so salad downloaded it
oof by rubbish traffic i get 0.4/hr (0.1/ 15mins ) roughly $9.60/ day (not exact figures may vary depends on traffic etc) uk
england
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
sgs in the US on the rise this evening eh
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
*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
i'm on that one right now. Never heard of it
Me getting rose 1 every time 
xp 2 isn't too bad iirc
and these are the ones i've had recently
Sure, i'll take your word on that one ๐คฃ
at least when I remoted into one of my laptops a couple days ago, I saw it was getting alright throughput
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....
where do u find your gateway?
mmm
task manager > right click sgs client > open file location
it's the folder name
0.1.8 i have is that good
whats your up and down mbp
down makes little difference, but i have 1down 100up
sijfoishgnnuiehnuiowbiugf
mmh i have 200down and 26 up
i used to earn around $300 a month with salad. Now it's much much lower
hm that one's not bad
whats the best one
it's not really easy to figure out which one's the best
I just know which ones have been getting acceptable throughput recently
while your here does salad still do cpu containers and do u have to wait for a job
yeah
i had this one from start of bandwith sharing
when it came it
yep that was the first
do you mean $3 over the night?
no in 1 hour
because $3 an hour with only 26mbps upload doesn't sound possible
i have 200 down
it did happen
you're limited by the slower of the two
which is your 26 upload
"what goes down, has to go up"
salad said they only use it to watch movies or something like that not upload stuff
is it not for streaming only ?
i qoute Salad guarantees that your bandwidth is only used for streaming content from legal, reputable sites.
"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)
oooooh i get it i thought it went straight to customer not salad gateway
makes sense
it's effectively the same thing
ooh my bad
I guess it just goes to Salad's gateway for additional security or something
your good at support ngl
1 mbp down or 1 gbp ?
I assume they mean 1gbps down heh
I've seen others in the UK with those speeds too
how would it work sgs client i swear the minimum is 10mbps down
lol
are you bandwith sharing ?
yeah
what country
uk
whats your current earning this hour rn ?
it's kinda hard to tell, since i've got container jobs running too
gpu or cpu?
gpu
but what is it anyway
i've feel for anyone that had 1mb download. Dame that takes me back to when it took 3 to 5 days to download WOW with 1MB download.
No, 1GBdown 100up
what about ping
and what provider for curiosity?
VM and ping would be low
and ip rating ?
VM is sick really good
ooh im checking for mine
what about ip rating ?
earnapp and HG mucked it up on another IP
sad
salad does not
only streams
what gateway u have
though i would have said it was earnapp, as i had stopped using HG month and month before. Though it can take a while for your IP score to get updated
what about latest birthrougtput
i mean bidirThoughtput for salad
BidirThroughput
its at here
click on that
then latest file
then go all the way to the bottom
I don't see what your asking for
click on the bandwith xp2 one
it's just logs
... OK might have been easier for me to understand if you had said that it was in my latest log. lol
yeah a little more than what my last 24hrs has been.
nice peak
28mb in the last 30 seconds 
thats my last 7
its measured in mb ooh idk that
oof
and 30
my bad ik what u mean

There talking to themselves ๐
I miss the $300 payout a month ๐ญ๐ญ
Does salad shadow tank your traffic if you get your account penalised in anyways?
i'm not getting any containers period
i've tried re-installing salad, windows 10 & 11, restarting salad, and restarting windows, but nothing is working.
crazy that this is the bandwidth sharing thread
best ask in #community-support :)
youll never know lol.
someone help me get sgs inthe usa
Ez
honestly it's probably just down to luck, assuming you meet the minimum requirements (pins)
Aye
sgs-rose-gateway.salad.com is this rose 1
cos this is my earnings
Think so
oww shut up sky ๐ญ
only took me over 3 weeks and a bit more to get this
Thank you Sweden gods for blessing me with sgs-client daisy server
haha sgs dead
funni ded sgs :3
Eh lol
skill issue bro

Not far off XD
Bandwidth testing speed decreased only 10% is showing in logs
Did the librespeed version got updated?
What
what is your static pay?
0.005 per 15 w/ 1 Sweden SGS & 1 Netherlands SGS
i just got a bandwidth job tho.
almost 2TB this week
very nice
going not bad myself
Nice!
how do you only have download but no upload for sgs?
i have zero idea, i had wondered that myself
extremely odd, somethings wrong eh. lol
mines always split half n half, now i know others have more upload then download sometimes but example
i have no idea, mine been like this for a few weeks
i had been continuously running salad for 1 week and still i didn't got sgs client running on my pc .. my upload and download speed is above 10 mbps ..
and when i checked logs there something like salad pipe status which is not running. i don't know if it's related or not
some times takes longer , depends on location, client demand
i live in india .. before my pc was formatted it was working good but after that it's not even starting .. sorry my english kinda weak
not too much demand in india as far as i know
ok ok
this app is just a waste of time resources and power unless you're in uk and have gigabit connection there
i love how you're here just for complaining 
hoping for developers/managers to listen and pay higher back
not how it works but sure
static pay is a bonus paid by salad not customers, and italy lives from static pay as there is no trafficat all
has anyone elses bw been doing better recently
also my sgs hasent randomly died in a while
salad isn't obligated to pay you, especially for doing nothing
and quite a few useless moderators lol
?
Common Salad user
Low satisfaction
Complain
Fail to elaborate
Ghosted
I have two questions for you. (Just trying to see if you can run salad on linux)
- Is the latest version that supports linux 0.5.8?
- Can you use wine to run salad?
The latest version that support linux is 0.5.8
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
some types of wine taste pretty good
then what's the point of keep giving them your resources if they don't want them?
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.
facts
if is not worth running salad, salad will not have hardware and connections to sell, so even if they find customers they won't be able to provide any service
whatโre you yapping about
salad wonโt have hardware and bandwidth to rent if you donโt run it. thatโs because thatโs how it works
youโre renting your resources out
if your resources arenโt utilised you wonโt 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
It may show the card, but you won't get any actual bandwidth sharing jobs
i dont get the card
no
like
i live
in romania
i dont get the card
but if i connect to a romania vpn i get the card?
that makes 0 sense
i doubt
happens more often than you'd think, with IPs that are often cycled
you might, though Salad said that VPNs could maybe cause issues
ok ty
update: it got higher
if it keeps going at a rate of 0.095 for 24 hours then its 9 dollars
legit 4090 rates 
i would be careful, this can get your account flagged
uk still biggest or is it us now ?
definitely not the us lol
Oh ok. Thank you
even if they buy them you don't receive much money, they pay too low so doesn't make sense in the first place in my opinion. 0,01$ per GB? are you joking right there?
I think it's $0.0058 per gb here in the us
But there is demand here though (not much but still)
60,000th message
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
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
yeah a big issue with other apps is that they have too many users
Not sure if this grass thing will become successful or not
They're still in testing
isn't that the one that's giving out monopoly money
The one that currently doesn't have a value or payout method I think
yep
Yeah
bets on it being a rugpull
yes so maybe managers listen
there is no traffic on salad either unless you are in uk
lets be real
or us if you have good internet
same with india
but us bandwidth is still meh too
why's bro complaining so much though lmao like you don't have to use it
real
i have crap internet at the moment and i still get sgs
bandwidth in the us was also pretty ass back then too
Bro itโs still ass
not as ass as before but true, still ass
ill have gigabit on the 9th of january so that will be interesting
what country do you live in?
australia
I havenโt gotten a sg in a while
oh
i used to go months without sgs client
now i get it almost instantly
The time I did it only uses 128gb
yeah its taken them years to put in fibre for everyone
Where in the us?
Lucky, Washington doesnโt get any
i think fiber coverage is pretty new at my area
so i guess im pretty lucky to get 500mbps
whats your upload?
I pay for 400mbps but I barely get 200mbps
also 500mbps
lucky
my old isp used to be 300mbps download but i barely got 200
My download is 200/10
Slow af
ah you have similar speeds to my old isp
I need to run proper Ethernet
excecpt my old isp has a bit faster upload
Xfinity
i had mediacom as my old isp
Their the only one that serves my area
talked to the ceo and founder of that here a while ago
itโs heavily associated with a shitcoin
so probably
says an uk person
because i wish i could use it and earn something
complaining could maybe make managers make good decisions about it
well... life isn't fair
Salad can't magically spawn clients for your country
someone has to buy bandwidth from your country first
static pay is gave by salad not customers
if it's not worth running even if they find clients that wanna buy they cannot buy anything
๐คจ
isn't that what you expect?
me as an user why should i run it if it doesn't give me any benefit?
then they suddently find customers but i'm already gone so they cannot sell my band
and hoenstly being paid less than 0,01 per gb feels like an abuse honestly
why should i run it if it doesn't give me any benefit?
You're not obligated to run Salad, and Salad isn't obligated to pay you for doing nothing either
then they suddently find customers but i'm already gone so they cannot sell my band
That isn't a Salad problem
There's Honeygain if you're interested
for second statement, yes it is, they need hardware to sell, if users leaves they cannot sell anything
no thanks even more abusive
if this were on a raspberry maybe i could accept
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
salad data scraping doesn't pay higher , that's the more scammy thing
if you even compare honeygain content delivery rates they are minute
they probably sell your connection for 5$ per gb
salad doesn't have data scraping
only content delivery
i saw traffic that wasn't just netflix and stuff like that
fake
which is paid significantly lesser than data scraping
i saw people redeeming rewards with my connection of sgs used traffic
it's either Netflix, linode aka akamai or bbc if ur in the uk
what do you even mean by this
i saw different things in my used connection logs
there was a strange website where you put your email and stuff and you could win money, salad visited that website
is not content delivery
italy
if i had glasswire premium i would have go back to the days when i was using it still to show you the website
i tried to open and was "put your email and win money!"
thats clearly not netflix
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
nobody's making you use it either
now that's something you could suggest, other than that you can't really do much
if they keep decreasing static pay it will become the worst
static pay should not even be there in my opinion. i don't know why it has been implemented. it's pointless and puts salad at a loss
and i'm speaking as a person with 300mbps upload, i'm not a guy with barely 10
if they remove static pay they need pay at least 0,50 per gb then lol
i don't know why it exists
is a hidden information, they don't show it
because is probalby 3$ per gb
users would get furious
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
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
I don't use Salad but, I know a lot how Salad work, I require source
pay me glasswire premium so i can go back to the days i used it
some rates for data scraping aren't even that high
what are you even talking about
Glasswire isn't a tool you use for capturing traffic
datascraping is being charged minmum 3$ per gb, go search
You're not even going to use a professional tool (not to mention it accurate and is free too) so I have a hard time believing that Salad is data-scraping
i'm not asking 3$ because i know they need to earn pay taxes servers etc but 0,01 feels abusive
I meant on services like pawns.app
or
honeygain
knowing how residential proxies value is high and companies is ready to pay gold to obtain ips
those are even more scammy, i don't use them either
Salad is less likely going to have companies or client because Salad limits what they can do using your bandwidth (e.g. preventing them from doing illegal things)
exactly
because if they don't do it they go in troubles
salad had limited customers and still gives a lot of traffic
Or they can just (legally silently) update their ToS and be like honeygain
if you enable content delivery of scamgain they have a ton of traffic but is even more scammy because they don't pay you per gb but uptime and even very very low
They pay you per GB on supported countries
from when
you have to dig through their site (but I bet US is definitely there)
and how per gb?
you're just wrong
come to italy and install salad
takes at least 6 hours to get you sgs running
ok
with 300 upload
if you have lower it doesn't even come out
your complaining really isn't going to change anything
what about bad review on trustpilot
Salad can't make their customers use your bandwidth more
they've got plenty of them, and you'll likely get the same response that you've been given here
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
then why make it available in italy in first place if they don't care?
You're not obliged to run Salad, Salad is not obliged to give you money
listen lets end the conversation is useless, companies are all same, i stop talking about this but i wont stop saying salad is bad on other groups around, merry christmas
you just copied my message
there are other countries too with low demand for bandwidth
just stop using Salad if you don't like it so much
i don't understand why you're so vexed, salad isn't a guaranteed way to make money, it is not marketed as being such.
though telling others not to use it because of your own experience and inability to understand the basic laws of supply and demand, is stupid
i will not stop using salad as I have a good use for it and its use benefits me personally
unfortunately with salad, one size does not fit all
Exactly
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
You don't see them saying shit like "But this guy with an RTX 3060 earns $2 a day! This is a scam! I'm being abused by Salad!"
If Salad isn't for you, move on.
Salad is marketed as a way for people to earn passive income with unused resources and that's all there is no guarantee that it will make you rich or anything, if you don't like it then it's not for you
well... half of the complaints are from the 'microwave' PC users
which i don't completely blame them for
salad always seems like a rlly easy way to earn through for a starter
and then as the months pass by, you realise how earning moni is never rlly ez
i mean, salad is specifically targetted towards 'gamers' anyways, with those juicy RTX's
you still do ๐
i'm one of the people who complained about earnings being low and i have a gigabit connection with rtx 3070ti 64gb ram
i9 12th gen too
less than 2$ a day with that hardware is rediculously low, i would imagine at least 8-9
considering that except for bandw that in italy is dead basically, they use your hardware full speed 24/7 at least in my experience
sounds like you got a lower paying gpu container job
though to put it in perspective, roughly $2.40 a day is the full fat earnings you could get for that gpu
maybe a bit more if the customer wants more vcpus and ram
too low in my opinion, so i will not use it
okay 
GPT > salad
?
the rich get richer 
real
I literally have a 2.20$ container that uses no resources
they was paying me 0,70 per day and most of the times they was using so many resources that my pc was literally lagging
not the pc itself but the graphic stuff
it was being used 100%
its not faulty because i never got problems before installing and after uninstalling salad, they was just using too many resources
i could'nt almost even watch a 4k video on yt, it was so saturated
funky
blip
saw a gap in glasswire and then suddenly it went full steam ahead with like 6 high bandwidth connections
I wonder what happened there
No errors or anything in logs as you can see
yeh xd
Game streaming takes less data then Netflix fyi
what? @hollow vortex
never knew sgs client could use up 100gb of ram lol
mb*
never seen it go past 50 before
Mine got to like 150 when it was running for weeks at a time lol
i reinstalled salad just to show proof about the fact salad does secretly data scraping, i will uninstall it back after reaching 1,15$ to withdraw an amazon 1โฌ, this is not exaclty the earning rewards by put email thing that appeared few months ago but this is clearly not streaming related stuff
rewardcodes.com is the service salad uses for selling gift cards
data scraping ๐จ
why tf they was using it
Salad Container Engine (SCE) is the most affordable choice for web scraping and public data collection. Our all-in-one solutions combine processing at the edge with proxy support from authentic IP addresses.
i didnt use any reward
maybe it's related to that? i dunno
.
users dsnt get anything in return?
i disabled cntainers
then i do not know
hear me out, vpn companies use salad :O
and
and thats what they connected to 
if salad permits streaming then why tf they used reward things
i saw malwarebytes stuff
isn't that an antivirus
yes
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
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
i always saw when they was using netflix or rai play, i never saw what they watched but i knew they was watching something
now they could even have transfered files
btw if you are letting strangers use your connection you have the rights to see what they do with your connection. regardless privacy or no privacy
no you dont 
then i can't wait to reach that 1.15 or i will just donate those money and uninstall instantly
i don't agree with this
end of the day you cant look into a container
just because its running on your hardware
end of the day you are renting it out
and agree not to see it
for too low price, so i don't want
i don't agree
you installed the app, you used the bw sharing method, meaning you agreed to do that
aka you agreed to salads tos
i regret and withdraw myself from this
kinda person that thinks all torrenting is illegal ๐ฑ
content streaming, communication, gaming, cloud storage etc
just because it's p2p doesn't instantly mean ooo torrents illegal pirate bay yar har har
if you don't like you can also just toally stop using salad
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.
it is voluntary
I wouldn't say salad is still in beta ๐
1.0 onwards is considered its 'full' release
i think by this he means it is constantly evolving
that'd be a better way of wording it lol
Ah fair, i meant that its constantly changing, compare salad from 1 year ago and then to now
i am still salty about the earnings page changes
when you could instantly see your earnings for the past day/week/month and get a more granular graph
Same
like genuinely what is this bullshit 
why
got a pic of how it looked like before?
or was it too long ago?
#chef-posting message
this?
hmm
that, and in your previous screenshot
there's so many small issues with the webapp :(
this one's relatively new
ah, i actually find that a bit more useful. I feel like that should be a toggle tbh
you can bet they're not going to do that though
Ofc
i liked it because it showed me exactly when i start earning or drop off in earnings so I can check the logs myself and see what happened
But i feel like they should listen to some community feed back every once in a while :)
legit
no one complained about the installer image but everyone complains about librespeed
Simply a toggle between old graph and the newer one would be a good change.
i doubt salad would do it
shi i get that too
not bad
it'd be cool if bidirthroughput was in something more easily readable
or average mbps
or idk
anything but bits per 30 seconds
Can I see the request data and the response data
...
Your inexperience with forensic software and knowledge shows, please refrain from making accusations without evidence.
maybe I should update my main pinned post explaining what bandwidth sharing is
video streaming is (i think) the main amount of bandwidth that gets shared, but there's also data collection, like nova said
https be like
ssl be like
You can break SSL encryption from the client-side
Hershey
They're using your router , you can basically do anything you want to them with some knowledge ๐
i reinstalled salad just to show proof about the fact salad does secretly data scraping
secretly?
The picture screams amateur
too, he's using Glasswire instead of
I never understood how that one works, glasswire is more user friendly
average salad user trying to be smart
im not gonna use salad anymore again so don't need shark
I'm saying that glasswire is stupid compared to wireshark
And should not be use to prove anything
that is true
i have not yet entered a cybersecurity specialism 
sgs likes to kill itself and then start up again a few minutes later
so i get really high paying bw jobs and then its like nope not this time
3rd party salad applications in support channels are not allowed, ๐๐ป do not send them here
Can i know how much a 100 mbps internet can make on a day
wrong channel ๐ฅถ
Okk fine
India
hmm
I should've prefaced this by saying it's not really easy to predict bandwidth sharing earnings, though I'd probably guesstimate you'd earn like 50c+ a day
assuming you're lucky and get a bandwidth sharing job
And it is ok to enable cpu and gpu while bandwidth sharing
sure
gonna try to force sgs to run on my server instead of my main pc
that way I can no longer be mad if i need to turn off my pc
success
how did you do it?
switch off bandwidth sharing on my pc and give my server time to pick it up instead
It does appear as sgs only works once per account now
ok i see, is your server just a pc with windows installed or like mine for example its running proxmox
an office computer running windows 10 home with updates pauses for a long ass time
salad does not work in VMs
I have 6 office computers, 2 of them have proxmox, one has pfsense, one has win10 home, one has Ubuntu server, the last has no os
well salad doesn't even like it if it detects RDP protocol on your system so it's very hissy about VMs
the backbone of the internet
thats kinda wild
gotta love the old dell's
gotta love the power draw too 
oho how's the pfsense setup going? I'm planning on doing that myself too, but I'm stuck in research hell
I was initially planning on virtualising it in proxmox or something, so I can run lancache in the same box, but apparently that comes with a lot of headaches
ooo you run pfsense in proxmox? do you think it's worth virtualising it, or running on bare metal?
That's the one with no cpu
It was just to play with it, it hasn't fun for a few months

it works well either way imo
I have so many hosts it doesn't matter for me
The only reason I have proxmox is I can remote into the machines easier
And get a hypervisor environment
my current server setup
uh traffic suck right now (france)
i hate the customer that literally make one request every minutes
does anyone else get these errors? or just me
2023-12-29 05:12:46.301 -06:00 [INF] {"level":"error","ts":1703848366.3012083,"caller":"ingress/api-client.go:413","msg":"Dial err: dial tcp4 35.155.33.148:443: i/o timeout","stacktrace":"github.com/SaladTechnologies/sgs/pkg/ingress.GPCHandleServerDispatchRequest.func1\n\tC:/Users/ericn/Documents/Projects/salad-gateway-service/go/pkg/ingress/api-client.go:413"}
weird thing is that my sgs client still continues to run like normal and eventually not give out these errors like nothing ever happened
normal
a sgs request timed out
๐ข
stuck having static earnings
Many connections
send me plz
that person left the server
i can send you mine if you want
though idk if itll do anything
hmm ok
im not sure which one you want, but heres the zip file
and here the actual sgs client
(i got this from the Bandwidth-SGS-US-0.1.8 folder btw, not sure if that might affect anything but yeah, probably not)
anyone from india?
yep me
do u mine in salad?
yep
lol $1 deals be like
god how many of u are here like noticing sgs client file isn't running?
U cannot force it to run if I am right
it runs on its own by salad
yup but it's been hours not days but still no progress
yup u are actually
you can download sgs client safely here, read the pins ๐
it also explains very clearly whether you should do it or not :)
:)
does bwith work with ethernet?
yeah
it works better with ethernet for me
as the wifi adapter on my second laptop sucks and cant reach the full speed my internet provides
ohhhh
it doesn't work with morse code
does it take long now adays for sgs to start
makes sense
yes quite
thats annoying
๐
Used to take several days to weeks and a few times even monthe for me
And now it's instant
new sgs gateways
Japan: azalea
i want a source for that
When even cartel has DB priority over committing crimes
wich uk gateway earns much atm ?
No idea

Rose
I have always had the best luck with rose which is gateway 1
?
?
well i can say rose 1 is very well right now, been about 890gb today (in download) that is like 100gb away from my max it can go to
my container only earns like 5.4 a day
rose 2 was good but i never get it anymore
