Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[naive lava]

Did the earnings improve in there for bw sharing?

[blazing slate]

You can get the old version of discord on android though

[misty furnace]

until a few days ago, it was ~$2/day from bws

for me at least

now I can’t get bws but that’s a different issue

[naive lava]

Seems like suffice

Haven't checked on bw sharing in here since long

We just gotta pray and hope it's right

[misty furnace]

oh wait wrong channel

[naive lava]

Will test salad once I return from my native

[naive lava]

No more csa for u

[misty furnace]

lol

[latent breach]

After a long wait

[misty furnace]

spiky

probably netflix

[upbeat shuttle]

i bet discord staff don't actually use discord

none of them have any experience in trying to navigate a server

or even the app

[latent breach]

They are frontend engineers..who fail everytime trying to work in backend🤣

[upbeat shuttle]

they hire frontend people for backend, and backend for frontend

[misty furnace]

I’m convinced

[gleaming shell]

Unfortunately yes

And its only for threads which is weird

[fiery marsh]

this why android is superior

im still using the old version of the app

thank god for APKs

[peak terrace]

is sgs working for anyone on the latest windows security update

for me it is completely broken

[azure scarab]

mines working but not alot of bw tho

[blazing slate]

does salad look at external or internal ipqualityscore?

my internal one is sitting at 28 but my external is 93

i cant make the external one go down

[civic fern]

all i know is that IPQS sucks

[blazing slate]

isnt that what salad uses..

[civic fern]

when you don't login, it gives score as shitty as possible, mine is currently 87

as soon as i login, score is set to 0

[civic fern]

yup, sadly

[blazing slate]

it shows the same to me

weather im logged out or in

[civic fern]

ah

count the one where you're not logged in

[blazing slate]

93

[civic fern]

yup

[blazing slate]

thats bad

how do i improve it

[civic fern]

yeah... there's not much you can do to improve it, unless you change IP address

[blazing slate]

i changed like 30 times

and it didnt go below 60

most of the time it is either 99 or low 90s

sometimes 100

[civic fern]

eh, not much can be done other than what i just stated (that's what i know)

[blazing slate]

:(

[civic fern]

yeah... it's bad

[blazing slate]

annoying

they should not use ipqualityscore

[civic fern]

idk why they use it, and that's not the only issue related to BW sharing

for example, the speedtest tends to screw up the actual speed, showing them way more slower than what they really are

[blazing slate]

yeah idk either

it should still work with high speeds

[blazing slate]

ive seen alot of people with that issue

but its never happened to me, it always gets my max speed

which is 1000/1000

[civic fern]

dayum

lucky you

[blazing slate]

but i cant even use it 😭

because salad is being dumb

[misty furnace]

yeah. I have 1200 down 1000 up and librespeed shows 300 down 90 up

[topaz dagger]

salad died for some reason

[blazing slate]

what about speedtest.net

it shows your full speed?

[misty furnace]

yeah

(downloading game updates rn, would be unfair to do a speedtest)

[visual grail]

[austere perch]

How do you check how much bandwidth you get?

[upbeat shuttle]

what

[austere perch]

?

[upbeat shuttle]

?
?

[austere perch]

why do people say how much bandwidth they earn, despite no bandwidth statistic

[upbeat shuttle]

i still have no idea what you mean by that

how much people earn with bandwidth sharing?

they look at their earnings

[austere perch]

yeah

yeah but how do they separate bandwidth from container earnings

[upbeat shuttle]

that's a bit difficult, but possible if you know how much you're earning from your container job

[austere perch]

like how?

[upbeat shuttle]

you can search for 'Predicted Earnings Report' in your logs, and you'll see your container job's earning rate

[austere perch]

oh ok

[latent breach]

My hotel wi-fi😁

[latent breach]

And we are bandwidthing now

[robust creek]

wow the graph is not flat today finally

[misty furnace]

mf librespeed killing my sgs

[proper nova]

[dense crow]

my salad is running from 2days but not at alll sgs clint came in task bar any help plsss

[upbeat shuttle]

what country and internet speeds?

[dense crow]

India and speed is 200mbps

[upbeat shuttle]

mmm

could just be a lack of demand from salad's customers

[dense crow]

oh ok

[gleaming shell]

new us bw gateway?

(I bet it's dead jobless tho)

[robust creek]

odd traffic

[misty furnace]

spiky like that kinda looks like video playback. I see similar spikes when someone is watching netflix on my sgs

[gleaming shell]

My YouTube does that

It's In spikes instead of a steady line

[peak terrace]

oshit what happened to my sgs

its still running

aaaaaaaaa

it restarted?

why

[dusky badger]

I have a 1000/1000 connection, been running bandwith GPU/CPU for 4 days now, i have yet to see sgs client, or anything salad related utilize any of my bandwith (Denmark and star chef). Are the availability of bandwidth jobs just low?

[uneven warren]

Anyone know why this is saying this? I've whitelisted workloads, the specific bandwidth folder, and even shut my antivirus off entirely. Nothing lets it through

[sharp drum]

finally got sgs running

[misty furnace]

delete the sgs-client zip in the folder C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads\_downloads and restart salad

[uneven warren]

Thank you, I'll try this now!

[misty furnace]

it won’t always work, but it works for most people

[uneven warren]

Seems like it worked, thank you 🙂

[kindred helm]

isw bandwitch sharting supported in this country????

[peak terrace]

Lesbos is not supported

[pulsar arrow]

Transylvania is not supported

[tardy swan]

yes

[gleaming shell]

static pay only

[azure scarab]

im taking the us bw lol

[misty furnace]

smh

[azure scarab]

bw going brrr

[misty furnace]

wtflip

[azure scarab]

still going

[misty furnace]

stop stealing all my sgs

[azure scarab]

getting better

[misty furnace]

you sent the same thing lol

[misty furnace]

I’m seeing a lack of anything bandwidth

it’s just a container now

[azure scarab]

dont no if it dose out but i set my sgs to high priority in task manger

[gleaming shell]

the us could never

its getting more ass here now

[sharp drum]

how to check

[azure scarab]

glasswire free version

[gleaming shell]

me when

i still have yet to have an idea on whats causing it

would share bandwidth just fine then all the sudden, everything dies off with an error

but itll eventually recover by itself

[azure scarab]

i get the same

[gleaming shell]

ye my sgs would occasionally pop out an error out of nowhere then my bandwidth comes to shit for a few hours before picking back up

it has recovered but idk why it happens, and if its on my side or salads side

[dusky badger]

i have yet to get a single bw job in a week 💀

[frigid reef]

!nologs

[sick helm]

A quick note about logs:

We don't recommend you try to read logs - a lot of the information contained within will not be legible unless you have access to extra information.
Logs will likely contain false-positives and issues or errors that do not have any significant value.

For this reason, please don't attempt to interpret your logs to figure things out - it most likely won't help you.
If you do get an error in Salad or something doesn't work, submit a ticket in #official-support and attach your logs.

[kindred helm]

!yeslogs

[gleaming shell]

!maybelogs

[misty furnace]

!onlylogsifyouknowexactlywhatyouarelookingforandarenotspeculatingwhatsomethingmeans

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm yes i see exit code 0, this must mean that salad is broken

[misty furnace]

classic

I’m just glad salad stopped giving me broken sgs gateways

either with cert errors or dial errors

[gleaming shell]

But then att smth armor thing that blocks outgoing connections whatever it was called

[subtle condor]

....?

[peak terrace]

earnings blip

you will see a spike to compensate

it is normal

[subtle condor]

me when payout delay

[peak terrace]

i get it all the time

[subtle condor]

okay nvm it spiked back to 0.1

we balling

[gleaming shell]

dippin

[misty furnace]

@latent breach does henna still errror out?

[latent breach]

Henna was working fine from 2-3 days after the incident happened.

[naive lava]

[opal galleon]

my ndm speedtests are looping

like it keeps doing them and the log isn't being made

[misty furnace]

#official-support and report the bug

you can try restarting your computer to fix it tho

[uncut bluff]

@gleaming shell

i got sgs

(a few days ago but i was touching lots of grass)

daffodil gateway

[misty furnace]

that's the best one in the us

it goes daffodil, lotus, lotus-west

most of the other gateways earn basically nothing

no clue why salad made 9 gateways for the US

[uncut bluff]

NO

WORST ONE EVER

literally 0 jobs

100 mb upload in 4 days

[misty furnace]

skill issue on your end

[uncut bluff]

probably

the last time i got this gateway my sgs instantly died

[misty furnace]

skill issue

[uncut bluff]

horrible memories with daffodil

[gleaming shell]

Nice

[gleaming shell]

I get the most jobs on daff

Every other gatewqay I get is dead flat

[shrewd terrace]

me when super shit gateway only static pay

ca-z is maple gateway

[robust creek]

italy bandwidth :

[misty furnace]

why tf does that look like apple

[shrewd terrace]

i mounted my salad folder on my mac

[misty furnace]

ah

I was about to call you a monster for reskinning windows to macos

[gleaming shell]

i have shared folders

i can access the logs using my main laptop instead of having to either rd or reach to my second laptop

but the logs are apparently useless to me tho

[shrewd terrace]

me when !no logs

that command was created for a good reason
dont know why people freak out so much over sgs errors

[upbeat shuttle]

logs are useful, just not for the average salad user trying to fix an issue

[misty furnace]

the logs are useful for getting some extra info, but yeah they shouldn't be used for much more than that

[urban saddle]

want to build a rig for salad ,, will i get 1$ per day with rx 580 8gb and more than 20 ddr4 ram ?

[upbeat shuttle]

completely wrong place to ask

ask in #community-support

[urban saddle]

maybe someone know

[misty furnace]

(no)

[topaz dagger]

ive ended salad like 5 times in the last 2 days

why is it treating me good and fast

usually it takes like a week to get back up here

[lone solstice]

I can change that if you want

||no I can't change your container 'likeability' / speed at which you get containers||

[upbeat shuttle]

says a joke then immediately backs out of it

[lone solstice]

Just don't want people being "OOoh hey can you please make me get a container"

Like no I don't have a handy-dandy button with "Get container" on my Salad or other users :)

As much as I would like it, even just for testing

[civic fern]

that's what someone with a "handy-dandy get container" button would say

[peak terrace]

i want a good $4.50 container again

i have been on the same $1.80 container for 3 days now because that is currently the best i can get

[latent breach]

A cyclone left me without electricity for 25 hours straight🥲, no sgs for 25 hours.

[lime sky]

OOoh hey can you please make me get a container

[lime sky]

this is a salad cannon event

gets alot for few days

then it dies

[plain charm]

Does anyone know any news about bw active in Brazil?

[upbeat shuttle]

nope

[plain charm]

ok, thanks

[topaz dagger]

fr

still going strong

[latent breach]

Only static pay🥲

[robust creek]

still unconsistent and pretty useless income, luckily this is not my only source of income anymore (not even surveys are my only source anymore)

[latent breach]

Finally after 15 hours

[peak ginkgo]

OK mine is loaded and running fine. thanks

[gleaming ibex]

will salad ever change their bandwidth servers from librespeed to something more consistent and more optimal server locations around the world? the closest and fastest server to me is 7k Kilometers away from me

[misty furnace]

probably not soon

[upbeat shuttle]

indeed

librespeed has been determined to be the best free solution

[gleaming shell]

I wonder if salad could contact ookla to use their cli speed test commercially

[winter wave]

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.

[misty furnace]

$$$$

expensive asf, I can't find a price for Speedtest Powered (their commercial solution)

https://github.com/sindresorhus/fast-cli

(most definitely does not support commercial use)

[gleaming shell]

a

[gleaming shell]

typing

[rocky orbit]

contact them for business opportunities

And suddenly you'll have like 15-100 grand down the drain per months

[misty furnace]

let's just say it's $0.01 per speedtest. I think salad does about 40,000 speedtests per day. that adds up to about $12k per month on just speedtests

[upbeat shuttle]

nowhere near 40k a day

the speed test gets run once when you start salad

salad has like 7k, maybe 8k now average users throughout the day

[misty furnace]

oh I thought they had like 20k users active at any given time. guess I'm very wrong

[upbeat shuttle]

nope

maybe some tens of thousands of maximum unique users in a day

[misty furnace]

good to know

[upbeat shuttle]

no don't take that as fact

that's just my guesstimate

[misty furnace]

I'll just ask jord next SoS

[keen cradle]

Is bandwitch on Spain? I’ve been waiting for like 1 and a half years 😢

[upbeat shuttle]

^^

Spain is not on the list :(

[misty furnace]

The world if people read pinned messages:

[gleaming ibex]

please do

[misty furnace]

turns out I can't... I'll most likely be driving home from work

[gleaming ibex]

state of salad happens really late at night because I live in India

so there is almost no way i can do it especially because i have school 😭

[misty furnace]

on saturday?

state of salad is today

[gleaming ibex]

yes i have school tomorrow

our school keeps a 1-2 saturdays working a month

[misty furnace]

yikes

[misty furnace]

~15k users daily

[peak terrace]

my sgs quit itself

[misty furnace]

me when all of these and only 2 have jobs

[gleaming shell]

how do ytou get all of thse

bro got every single gateway

im here stuck with only daffodil

me after salad gives sgs client to my shitty main laptop thats only been on for like 15 hours and high cpu usage with degraded salad
and not my other 2 computers that have over a week of uptime on ethernet and nothing on it

and the speedtest on my main laptop is worse lol

[gleaming shell]

i wonder if theres a way to not get daffodil gateway on my main laptop or the other 2 computers

i have daffofil gateway rn on my second laptop and if i get sgs on any one of my other computers and it just so happens to be daffodil gateway, it will kill sgs on my second laptop

it happened earlier today, got sgs on main laptop and it was the same gateway and it killed it on my second laptop, even after blocking it in firewall

[latent breach]

Yeah, it's true. I have seen that bw sharing only peakes at night.

[gleaming ibex]

i was talking bout state of salad but sure

i dont get sgs anyways

[latent breach]

sgs

[topaz dagger]

🔥

[peak terrace]

internet saturated

very nice

[peak terrace]

i have not had rose 2 in a while

[honest marsh]

would be pretty cool if salad had a linux console version so i could just run it on my pi overnight

[misty furnace]

it used to exist, but support was dropped a long time ago

[lone solstice]

Didn't have a console version

[misty furnace]

wasn't that saladcli/saladbind?

[winter wave]

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.

[misty furnace]

quiet

unofficial ig

[lone solstice]

That was unofficial... And it wasn't Salad either. It was just running miners externally and pointing them towards your Salad wallet - which is still doable today but just for mining

[misty furnace]

alright. I never used it so didn't know

[honest marsh]

yeah ik

[peak terrace]

one hungry ass connection

it is an AWS address

[drifting sentinel]

Isn't it possible to run the SGS file from the program data?

As I'm seeing the problem for this requires the SGS file to be running

[frigid reef]

no, salad has to run it

even if you get the file running, it wont actually get any jobs as salads system will know they didnt start it

[peak terrace]

yes but it won't do anything

rose 2 is a bit shit

[misty furnace]

I can confirm

it gets a slight bit of traffic (like a few kb) and then sits idle

[azure scarab]

im not able to get any other gateway other that rose gate 2 which suck no work

[gleaming shell]

im not able to get any other gateway other than daffodil which is on my second laptop at all times

either i get no sgs or just a random dead jobless gateway lol,

i just want lotus on another computer man

[dire elm]

Been pretty good for me so far, roughly 200-250gb per 3 hours

[shrewd terrace]

nothing can compare to my container

[misty furnace]

may 31

[gleaming shell]

bruh my curious ass decided to press the button and now idk how to unwhitelist

[shrewd terrace]

why do you want to unwaitlist

[gleaming shell]

(idk what i pressed)

[shrewd terrace]

the feature is gonna eventually come out to everyone

[gleaming shell]

oh well

[opal galleon]

do isps in us or uk or Europe or wherever provide ipv6 yet?

[upbeat shuttle]

ofc

isps everywhere have already supported ipv6 for years

[opal galleon]

oh well, india might be backward then

they're charging for dynamic ips and ipv6

[frigid reef]

not virgin media

they have the tech to support it

but never actually give out a ipv6 ip

[opal galleon]

another problem in india is cgnat, since they're running out of public ipv4 addresses

[misty furnace]

true

I run most of my stuff through ipv6 to cloudflare proxy

[opal galleon]

ahh, so you can access more websites through ipv6 I'm guessing

[misty furnace]

not really. there are very few sites that I know of that only offer ipv6

what I meant is that I run my website (when my pc is on) through cloudflare proxy and cloudflare figures out the ipv6/ipv4 stuff for me

at the airport now and my pc is off :(

[opal galleon]

ahh

that's nice

so your website can be accessed through only ipv6 aswell?

[upbeat shuttle]

not more

basically all websites should still have an ipv4 address

[opal galleon]

hmm

one thing i noticed is discord doesn't work if you turn off the ipv4 protocol from your side

[upbeat shuttle]

bruh

[opal galleon]

🤷🏻

i don't really think I can explain what I'm trying to say, let it be

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm pretty sure if you have an ipv6 address, you can still access ipv4 sites from it

idk I haven't looked into this part of ipv's yet

[surreal osprey]

ip6only.me exists

[misty furnace]

you read ozua's message wrong

[surreal osprey]

Yea I just know with web domains it's only possible with a tunnel, a dual stack or some translation algo

[azure scarab]

are sgs servers down cant get any other gateway theres 4 this one is dead

[frigid reef]

Nope not down, salad just gives you that one

[latent breach]

Salad downloaded around 1 TB in one day?
My GOD!

[azure scarab]

i was on sgs uk 3 and it changed me to rosa 2 on its own now cant get any other gateway got this error

[misty furnace]

you have a "dandelion" as well

[misty furnace]

why's the US got so many

[azure scarab]

are most of them dead only 2 good ones on uk

[latent breach]

Why is it that SGS-IN-1 starts consuming bandwidth 5-6 hours later of getting started (mostly during night time in India), but SGS-IN-2 starts its work immediately. Any explanation?

[upbeat shuttle]

[misty furnace]

ask the customers ig

[gleaming shell]

us bandwidth moment

(its gonna die)

5 minutes

next second its gone lol

[hollow vortex]

We still complaining about Sgs ?

[gleaming shell]

shi i forgor you were still in this server

did they delete your salad account?

[tulip depot]

How to see that?

[shrewd terrace]

its a table from my isps website

try checking your isp website

[peak terrace]

sgs been pretty good

[honest marsh]

not vodafone

[white knot]

jp bw moment

[misty furnace]

vpn moment

[true halo]

Hope much upload speed could be sharing use?

[misty furnace]

it can use up to your maximum upload/download (whichever is the lesser)

[true halo]

Oh so 46mbit...

[peak terrace]

internet saturated for the past 24 hours

[latent breach]

Sgs first time reaching 2 cents/15 minutes on my laptop🔥🔥

[gleaming shell]

I'm guessing it's dead lol

[latent breach]

Yet running, but with ¼ earning

[oblique vessel]

Wish I got traffic like this. highest spike has been around 50 Mbps

[white knot]

just like ur grand^2father's pulse rn

[drifting sentinel]

How do you know if you are doing bandwidth sharing or not. (Btw I can't GPU mine BC I have a igpu so I can only CPU mine)

[misty furnace]

you will see sgs-client in task manager

[upbeat shuttle]

oh the misery

[jovial fiber]

the day someone check the pins before asking a question i'll be billionaire

[merry raft]

ok

[peak terrace]

Am I tripping or has the $/GB in the UK increased

[frigid reef]

Idk but if it has i will take it 🔥

[peak terrace]

With a $4.70 container and a saturated internet connection from bandwidth sharing I make $0.0069 every 15 mins

This is higher than usual

[narrow tiger]

Is sgs-client.exe running in task manger

[tight atlas]

SGS client is indeed running in task manager

thanks for asking

[frigid reef]

Delete the thread

[peak terrace]

lmao

[opal galleon]

can I get sgs if my isp is behind a cgnat configuration

[frigid reef]

no idea what that is but uhh https://tryitands.ee/

[opal galleon]

carrier grade nat, it would be kinda complicated for me to explain so maybe u can google it up?

i did try, and was unsuccessful

[gleaming ibex]

im just curious

why doesnt a vpn/virtual machine for bandwidth sharing work?

[misty furnace]

you need a residential ip address and nearly all vpns will have datacenter/commercial ip addresses. same thing with a VPS. they usually have a datacenter ip

[gleaming ibex]

so whats the problem if i can still get the job done?

[misty furnace]

if it works it works. just read the tos to make sure you aren't breaking it

[frigid reef]

a vm does work for bw sharing, the problem is when you are making multiple vms in the same network to say you have more nodes then you actually do

[peak terrace]

i don't think words can describe the satisfaction i feel when i see this

it seems like sgs starts up on all my machines at roughly the same time

very interesting

[gleaming shell]

I only ever see SGS on my second laptop

It only likes my second laptop lol, I NEVER see SGS appear on any other devices I have, it's like it's allergic lol

[oblique vessel]

What's the actual throughput?

[peak terrace]

nothing

its just idle right now

it just started up

[peak terrace]

triple sgs

rose, rose 2, chrysanthemum

[frigid reef]

Me with 1 that uses my whole network

[upbeat shuttle]

your whole network isn't much

[safe loom]

cyberbullying

[gleaming ibex]

i dont even get sgs 😭

tell salad to move on from librespeed

it sucksssssss

no indian server

literally 0

my 250 mbps gets converted to 3 mbps

[azure scarab]

im stuck with rose gate 2 which is dead for over a week cant get any other gateway

[peak terrace]

me who is getting $0.60 worth of static pay instead of $0.20

[latent breach]

Me whose static pay decreased from $0.00126 --> $0.00107

[gleaming shell]

me who has no static pay but idk if it's supposed to happen

[opal galleon]

i think that means ur sgs isn't sending pings

[misty furnace]

literally us rn

[gleaming shell]

my SGS works and earns it just doesn't give out the static pay

I think it's bc they removed it for the us idk

[opal galleon]

ig

[opal galleon]

fr

[peak terrace]

mmmm

good thing i have multiple machines running sgs

when one dies out the others pick up

[visual grail]

💀💀💀 salad on its villain arc

[latent breach]

Always has been

[visual grail]

😬 real

[spare jackal]

@peak terrace quick question, what software is that and what is it good for?

[civic fern]

glasswire, displays network usage stats

[opal galleon]

glasswire

[spare jackal]

sure but how does it help with getting jobs? 😅

[civic fern]

it doesn't

[spare jackal]

bw jobs

[civic fern]

it simply helps by looking at the network usage of softwares, individually even

[spare jackal]

then why use it?

[spare jackal]

Alright ig

Any tips on how to get jobs? 🤣

[civic fern]

nope

[spare jackal]

with bw

[civic fern]

like, asking the wrong person here

had bw sharing after 10 months of not having it

and now it has been at least a month again lol

[spare jackal]

im currently trying honeygain but uhhh, think salad pays more

But not getting anything with salad

[upbeat shuttle]

what country and speeds do you get?

[opal galleon]

one thing I realised is that u need 1 thing to get bw jobs, a public wan IP address

which most isps charge for now

you could also get it with ipv6 though

[peak terrace]

Have good luck

[spare jackal]

Germany

rn only 60 down / 40 up

[spare jackal]

public wan IP address?

[opal galleon]

your wan IP should be the same as your public ip

or, you need ipv6

[spare jackal]

Well I got a Ipv4 one

[opal galleon]

do you have an ipv6 one aswell? you can have both together

[spare jackal]

I mean

I guess I can enable it

[opal galleon]

sure, it would increase your chances of getting sgs

[spare jackal]

How comes?

[opal galleon]

since ipv6 eliminates the usage of nat

and if your isp uses cgnat for ipv4, then you can get sgs easier if you have ipv6

[spare jackal]

Now I got a Ipv6

Thanks for the hint!

[opal galleon]

no problem :)

just my discovery till now from experimenting lol

[spare jackal]

U think honeygain and salad with interfeer with eah other?

[opal galleon]

probably not

no

[spare jackal]

Well, time to install both on my rasberry pi

[opal galleon]

lmao nice

[spare jackal]

Getting windows on it tho

[spare jackal]

will plug it right into the router with LAN

And it will basically run 24/7

Hope they don't let me down.

[upbeat shuttle]

oh that explains it, as far as i know, there's still currently no customers for germany

[spare jackal]

Are you serious? 🤣

Like 0?

[upbeat shuttle]

indeed

[spare jackal]

But 0 is not a thing 🤣

[spare jackal]

Connect me with US Servers then lol

Or UK ones

Not too far apart from those

[spare jackal]

Is there a way to connect to other servers? 😅

[upbeat shuttle]

nope :(

unless if you physically move country

[spare jackal]

Yeee, not really worth it 😅

[spare jackal]

Proxies?

[upbeat shuttle]

basically no

[gleaming ibex]

me who doesnt get sgs because librespeed is trash

[upbeat shuttle]

salad doesn't want proxies anyways, they want real raw internet connections

[spare jackal]

Even if they are home ones?

[spare jackal]

true

Well, better than having 0 costumer...

in ur WHOLE country

[civic fern]

What about italy?

Just curiosity at this point

[upbeat shuttle]

no idea

[proper nova]

so basically there is no reason for salad to keep the german gateways online right now

[upbeat shuttle]

assuming there's no customers currently, you're right

[proper nova]

this is a supply and demand moment

[latent breach]

Though it doesn't help you to get a job but once you will be assigned a job the status on the software will give you pleasure, like : "my wait finally bore fruit"😁

[spare jackal]

Well

It does help in 2 ways

1. If your ip is flagged for no reason it gets you a better IP score

2. You can use it from another country to get their jobs like UK as example

[latent breach]

You sure about that? How?

[spare jackal]

Well, proxy basically shows your IP as another one?

As far as I know.

[latent breach]

I don't think you can...
There have been discussions on this topic and the summary is that you can't connect to other servers

[spare jackal]

Well, if your Proxy is in UK

You should Connect with UK servers

Yesn't?

[upbeat shuttle]

Salad doesn't want you to do that, I'd go as far as to say it's against Salad's TOS

misrepresenting your available resources

[spare jackal]

Is it really misrepresenting?

[upbeat shuttle]

yes

[spare jackal]

If the upload/Download are the same

Only thing that might be higher is the ping

But salad gets that from the librespeed test

Which is done with your system

[upbeat shuttle]

It's in an entirely different county. Salad's customers want specific countries for a reason.

[spare jackal]

Mh true on that point.

[latent breach]

Why does Salad use more speed than the speedtest results? @upbeat shuttle

[spare jackal]

And proxies in the same country?

[upbeat shuttle]

proxies in the same country might not be as bad, but ofc there's really no point in doing that lol

[upbeat shuttle]

The speed test is just to make sure you meet the minimum requirements. It's not like there's a maximum requirement lol

[latent breach]

So if somehow my Wi-Fi gets a little busy, say Salad was using ~30mbps and for a few seconds it was able to pull just 10-20mbps, will Salad now decrease bw uses to 10-20 Mbps?

[proper nova]

salad will eat up as much bandwidth as it can when it wants to

there's no such thing as salad dynamically adjusting the load on your network, it'll just wolf everything you give it

[upbeat shuttle]

this is just my guess - it might slow down for a bit if it's contended for longer than just a brief moment, but it'd probably try to push its perceived boundaries every so often

[opal galleon]

does salad send u to another gateway of one of them is full

or is just random

[latent breach]

sgs🔥

[upbeat shuttle]

updated

also updated the one for improving earnings in community support

[fallen halo]

This

I was 300 down and 50 up and it maxed my line

Now I'm 900 down Nd 100 up and it maxed it out

[peak terrace]

eh?

never seen this gateway before

mf said google and whatsapp

[peak terrace]

yes I know it exists

I've just never had it before

[gleaming shell]

I guess all the UK gateways have some jobs

Except for rose 2 bc some person said they don't get jobs from it

[latent breach]

Is sgs delivering contents from US to Hong Kong through my network?

[opal galleon]

well look

I'm guessing you're from india

[latent breach]

Yeah

[opal galleon]

your data goes first to the gateway that is located in hong kong

from there, it goes to the clients that need it

even though it shows us, it's probably just ddos protected or something

it could be from anywhere

[latent breach]

Got it

[peak terrace]

holy shit realsmart

this is what our school website used to log in

thats a throwback

[latent breach]

Sad life, no jobs on either of 2 devices

[opal galleon]

sad

would sgs work if I installed windows on a raspberry pi

[proper nova]

sgs did a funny

[opal galleon]

sad

what country

[proper nova]

UK

[opal galleon]

wh

ah

i have similar traffic to you which is surprising

how much were you getting per 15 mins

[proper nova]

0.05 because I have a container

[gleaming shell]

This shit is not it

[opal galleon]

that looks sad

[gleaming shell]

Literally earning more from 2 other apps lol

[opal galleon]

lmao nice

what else do you use

[gleaming shell]

us bandwidth has came to shit for a while now

[opal galleon]

mhm

there's decent traffic on india

[gleaming shell]

earnapp which makes me 30 cents per day only bc I live in the us
Honeygain currently makes around 80 cents to 1.2 Dollars per day but that's bc demand is higher than usual and it's probs gonna fall soon

[gleaming shell]

There's some demand in the us but it sucks ass lol

But whatever I'll take it, sgs client didn't take up all my CPU so

[opal galleon]

just earnapp or earnapp+?

[gleaming shell]

It's free money at the end of the day

[gleaming shell]

Earnapp+

[opal galleon]

ah

I'm not using earnapp+ anymore since it takes up too many resources

[gleaming shell]

I used an app to come it out so it only uses 1 CPU thread lol

[opal galleon]

and then my sgs unalives itself

[gleaming shell]

Oh yeah that happened to me once

[opal galleon]

oh lol

i used honeygain too but not really that good

[gleaming shell]

sgs unaliving to high CPU usage<<

It's so annoying

[opal galleon]

data scraping doesn't earn that much

[opal galleon]

fr

and me using shitty laptops doesn't help it

[gleaming shell]

I used to game on my main laptop back when I had shit Internet and my sgs would always die and I wouldn't see it again for like 19 years

[opal galleon]

lmao

[azure scarab]

never seen this rose gate 2 going nutts

[gleaming shell]

Ain't no way what the actual hell is this shit lol

Lowest I've ever earned in a super long time

[gleaming shell]

you cant even see it on the graph lol

[opal galleon]

ah okay thanks

[peak terrace]

(it won't work because sgs requires salad bowl service to be running and for it to call sgs)

[opal galleon]

yeah so saladbowl can be downloaded on any windows pc right

I'll just disable cpu and gpu

idk i guess I'll see

if i buy a nuc, it will probably be faster than my current laptop which I play games one

[peak terrace]

salad does not work on arm cpus

i.e. a raspberry pi

[opal galleon]

ohh okay

thanks 🙏🏻

[safe loom]

yes it do

[opal galleon]

wait what

[safe loom]

im pretty sure salad runs on arm cpus

best way to test is install windows for arm and install salad

i'd hope salad supports arm off the bat

we got a 2 year transition period before desktops move to arm

[opal galleon]

yeah, some samsung laptops already moved i think

[safe loom]

fuck samsung laptops

the snapdragon x is releasing

it performs better than apples m4 and intels 14700k\

[opal galleon]

woww

[visual grail]

Real

[frigid reef]

@tight atlas Can we get some more cat pics plz

[misty furnace]

thanks ios

[opal galleon]

+1

[upbeat shuttle]

says who

[safe loom]

amd, microsoft, qualcomm

if a snapdragon powered pc cost less thanan entry level "gaming laptop" can perform just as good if not better than apples macbooks, can run light to medium games and have an insane battery life

people are going to buy those quick

so follow suite will amds arm chips

nvidia will release theirs

intel will finally release theres later since they still dont think arm changes anything

despite developing arm cpus

[upbeat shuttle]

I can see laptops transitioning relatively pretty quickly, but I'm not sure about desktops

[latent breach]

r/cats

[misty furnace]

noway, finally got an ad for the company I see all the time in glasswire from sgs

[fallen halo]

This brings a transition of not just arm cpus but everything under the technology umbrellas,

Since the processing language will be different, hardware manufacturers and gaming manufacturers will need to release other hardware or emulators to support this transition.

We are a long way way

[safe loom]

no

[fallen halo]

I think you will find I am right

[safe loom]

🤓👆

rosetta was already made for apple sillicon

and microsoft already made their alternative for windows on arm

ignoring that surface laptops have been arm for half a decade

[fallen halo]

But majority of the rest of support and take up has always been behind

It's not going to be hey, let's get this arm processor in, it's hardware, software.. vendor support, drivers.. blah blah.

So the transition from x86, now x64 wasn't an easy one.

So unless arm software will come with emulator capabilities it will be painful and slow

[safe loom]

nuh uh

[latent breach]

Bro searched about the company so hard on Google that Google is now showing bro ads of the company

[misty furnace]

I never even searched it. it just showed up one day

Reboot the firewall

always the damn dial errors

(I'm not sure how to fix it too, but it kinda recovers by itself for me)

[fallen halo]

Reboot the firewall

[azure scarab]

dose nothing tryd

and also disabling it

[gleaming shell]

Ive tried disabling my firewall, mine doesn't give an option to restart it or smth

(router login page)

I've noticed that most of the times I can't even ping those ips

[azure scarab]

i can ping it but not connect

[gleaming shell]

I can ping some of them

its on by default

[upbeat shuttle]

disable it 💀

Transfer all your internet connections to me 😂

[blazing slate]

how can you get it with ipv6?

this is the issue im facing

im ISP uses cgnat, so a single IP adress is shared between thousands of customers

therefore my IP reputation is really bad, on my ipv4 specifically

however my ipv6 has a decent score so if theres a way for sgs to use that instead im pretty sure itll work for me

exactly this^

[upbeat shuttle]

I think sgs only supports ipv4

but https://tryitands.ee/ :)

[blazing slate]

how do i try it...

idk how to make it use my ipv6

[upbeat shuttle]

run only ipv6 and see if it works

[blazing slate]

how do i run only ipv6

[upbeat shuttle]

.

like on your router

disabling ipv4

[blazing slate]

oh

[upbeat shuttle]

probably the only (easy) way

[blazing slate]

is there a way to disable ipv4 for just one device?

(the one im using to run salad)

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm

[blazing slate]

probably by changing something on my pc?

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm not sure if disabling ipv4 on windows will force it to only communicate with the outside world in just ipv6

[azure scarab]

network setting

[upbeat shuttle]

could google it - yahoo it, even

[blazing slate]

ill give this a go

[azure scarab]

that ip score thing is a lie i get sgs and this is a new static ip

[blazing slate]

i dont know what else it could be

thats why im pretty sure its that for me..

[blazing slate]

i just did this but when i search what it my ip, it still shows both my ipv4 and ipv6...

isnt it meant to only show my ipv6 as i disabled ipv4

[azure scarab]

my isp did mine

[blazing slate]

thats because you didnt have one in the first place

mine came with both ipv4 and ipv6

ipv4 uses cgnat

[azure scarab]

mine did

[blazing slate]

oh

[blazing slate]

oh you got a static

that mitigates the cgnat issue

my isp doesnt offer one

[blazing slate]

@azure scarab@upbeat shuttlei just tried

and

still using ipv4

:(.

[azure scarab]

idk you may need to go in router

[blazing slate]

it only allows me to disable ipv6 in router

ipv4 section:

[azure scarab]

contact your isp just tell them you cant connect to salad cloud see what they say

[blazing slate]

my isp is dumb as fuck

[azure scarab]

or onlinechat

[blazing slate]

i asked them about a static ip and they said they dont know what that is

[blazing slate]

this too

they dont answer any of my questions

theyre basically useless

only good for answering basic questions that get asked all the time

[fallen halo]

Has anyone tried to get a VM working on bandwidth transfer only? And if yes what requirements were needed.

I have a windows 10 VM with bandwidth configuration running and it's fine nothing for 2 days.

I set the VM up, so I could control the amount of traffic I used .

[upbeat shuttle]

Last time I tried running Salad in a VM just for bandwidth sharing, and it didn't work at all

which is why I said this

[fallen halo]

Application is running and connected to salad... Just does not get a job

If I put bandwidth sharing on my rigs. That rig, all it does it bandwidth jobs.

It never gets a container job until I stop bandwidth sharing

[desert pier]

what country

[narrow tiger]

chat is the bandwidth in korea any good

[shrewd terrace]

i wish i could even get SGS again

For me I get sgs very quickly now

Simply because many people leave at that cheap price 😄

I was just being sarcastic about static pay 😄

[fallen halo]

Thinks of a SGS workstation

[peak terrace]

what

[tardy swan]

people don't want to share their bandwidth if they get 10 cents for it

[azure scarab]

is this anew gateway never had this one

[frigid reef]

@upbeat shuttle we got a rose 3, update le pin

[opal galleon]

the same in india

[gleaming shell]

Damn y'all get jobs on new gateways?

It's usually dead jobless I'm the us

[azure scarab]

not add a single connection its dead lol

[gleaming shell]

oh lol

[azure scarab]

need this gateway back not had it since 1.4.7 was best gateway used all my net

[winged hollow]

Please consider supporting Bandwidth Sharing feature in Thailand! We have very high average internet speed throughout the country (probably one of the not-so-many good things about this country... lol)
However, most, if not all, ISPs in Thailand don't give public IPs for their standard plans, unless the customers pay more. not sure if this is going to affect BW Sharing.

using my second laptop as a wireless display to see my glasswire shi from my main laptop

[frigid reef]

what version are you on to get this for free?

unless its not paid

and im dumb

[gleaming shell]

lemme check

[gleaming shell]

im using glasswire 2.3.449 (im not sure if this is the correct installer, but its in my downloads folder)

sadly, it only allows one remote connection, youll need premium if you want more than 1

[frigid reef]

how can you setup the remote connection thingy

[gleaming shell]

it should be in the glasswire settings

if you click on the top left

[frigid reef]

i cant get it to work

[gleaming shell]

give me remote access to your pc i will fix

[frigid reef]

[gleaming shell]

i just enable this on my second laptop

then type the local ip and password here on my main

[shrewd terrace]

I kinda want to port forward so people can see my glassware usage
but they’d also just firewall block random stuff

[frigid reef]

NICE IP LIL BRO

I'll remind you on Jun 26, 2024 03:57, setup remote glasswire

Try signing up for ipsc

They might have a second thoughts

[desert pier]

whats the average pay in uk ?

[azure scarab]

last month i was getting $5/6 from bw this month not so much

[peak terrace]

not that much for me because i don't have fast internet

[fallen halo]

Only do bandwidth sharing if you have a really quick internet connection and a good router.

So the connection will get bogged down

[desert pier]

what about this month

[azure scarab]

$1/2 cos im getting shit gateways

[unique cedar]

crazy how it was more than 30 a month 🥲

[frigid reef]

euros is on, meaning higher uk traffic

[peak terrace]

remember how power stations could detect when there was a goal because there would be a spike in energy usage

i wonder if the same applies to bandwidth sharing throughput

if there is any correlation

[upbeat shuttle]

spot the game

[jovial fiber]

wait wait for olympics France is gonna get huge traffic i hope

[opal galleon]

SO TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[peak terrace]

i have found a really weird thing

if sgs is idle and then i toggle video streaming off and on again, suddenly i get looooads of traffic going through my network

this has happened both of the two times I have tried it

its super super weird

but i like it

more bandwidth for me

[jovial fiber]

what

[peak terrace]

yes

Out of the two times i have tried this it has worked both times

On rose 3 gateway

[peak terrace]

I did it here as well

[azure scarab]

did it to me but didnt pay nowt showd on graph static pay

[peak terrace]

use old glasswire

that version is ass

it worked again

[azure scarab]

i like how much it shows in left corner

it uses all my net 1000 up 1000 down till i stop it but never pays on graph

[azure scarab]

is it paying

[peak terrace]

yes

[azure scarab]

oh shit

[peak terrace]

the bandwidth doesn't last forever

this feels like a cheat code

instant bandwidth

[azure scarab]

lol

[peak terrace]

i will record it next time

to show it working

[peak terrace]

actually i feel it is not paying

this is the green line

not a dent

Which version? You have the version number?

[latent breach]

Okay

[misty furnace]

Ä

[pale hare]

what does bandwidth sharing even share?? its using my connection a lot 200-390gb used per day 😉

[safe loom]

it's streaming video for premium video providers

it's doing exactly what its named

sharing bandwidth

salad won't disclose customers of their products unless the customer discloses it themselves, amazon used to disclose other companies using AWS and those companies sued them, so salad isn't keen

[pale hare]

so correct me if i am wrong, prem video services are using salad and it's network to transit their services through and reach the end user??

[misty furnace]

kinda like that. one of the major ones is region-locked netflix content

[gleaming shell]

Probably a very stupid question but is it allowed to run salad in vms for bandwidth sharing?
I can have multiple sgs clients on my IP bc the us has multiple gateways, so I'm wondering if I can use vms to bandwidth share

Nevermind, forgot you can't get sgs on a VM to begin with

But now I wonder if it's allowed to run salad in a VM at all, I've seen people do it but idk if it's truly allowed

[civic fern]

i don't think that it is mentioned in the ToS at all, can't confirm since i haven't checked myself

hearsay

[gleaming shell]

"well if it's not there than I don't care" -some random person in this server I forgot the name of

I forgor who said it too

[civic fern]

can you blaim them though?

[gleaming shell]

blaim

[civic fern]

fuck my life

blame

you know

[gleaming shell]

Anyways other ppl are running vms so I could give it a shot

[civic fern]

free services don't seem to work, like VMware... maybe i haven't tried hard enough

[gleaming shell]

I'm using virtual box

So sad it doesn't have GPU support

[civic fern]

it does but for multi-gpu iirc

if you don't have a second gpu to pass onto the vm, then yeah, no gpu for u

[gleaming shell]

I have my igpu and dgpu, I'm assuming I need 2 dgpus then

[peak terrace]

somehow two of my machines are running the same gateway at the same time on the same account

[opal galleon]

if you know how to setup proxmox, that could work

[opal galleon]

amazing

the other gateway on India has been getting a boost of traffic recentlu

recently

the other ones doing pretty good but at midnight

[peak terrace]

the cpu in my old laptop is weak as shit

it's maxed out by salad opening

[opal galleon]

sgs just took an oof on both my pcs

[latent breach]

Always happens on my laptop (11th gen i3). So I temporarily disable Defender then open Salad. Cause Defender uses 20-25% CPU to run scans whenever I open Salad.

[jovial fiber]

you can but you need to mess with salad app so against ToS

if only i could run sgs on my phone

[peak terrace]

my old laptop has a shitty dual core broadwell i7

old old laptop vs old laptop vs new laptop
