[serene falcon]

@misty furnace I just checked ndm log latest one it shows 90 mbps both speeds

[granite steppe]

thats good

[granite steppe]

Prateek was the best csa

[gleaming shell]

any us bandwidth sharing person have daffodil-4 or lotus?

i havent seen anyone mention them in a while

am tired of these crap us gateways 😔

[tribal arrow]

gng I have a laptop l460 thinkpad that I have just plugged in hidden away in a box bandwith sharing (cant mine shi from salad too weak) any tips to increase profitability? even if its 0.00000000000001%

im uk btw 🙂

[gleaming shell]

only way is to kinda just pray lol

salad isnt the best at choosing the most profitable gateway (from my experience), and the app isnt smart enough to fallback to a different gateway if sgs client is blocked in firewall or errors out

[tribal arrow]

to jesus christ I turn

yo jesus doin me good (blue is the laptop started it about 40 mins ago?)

[gleaming shell]

ts bro

us bandwidth exxperience month 3

[granite steppe]

its aqua

[civic fern]

i've realised something funny: when i change the ip and check fraud score, it sits at 0/100
5 seconds later, 89/100

[gleaming shell]

This site should not exist

Or atleast It should not have a free version, if all they're going to do on the free version is just lie about scores and throw bs

But even then, Noone should even use a site that lies to their customers

[craggy bronze]

Sgs is not triggering at all for me atm, rip

[gleaming shell]

I'm getting a new ISP soon, I don't have much hopes I'll get a better gateway tho

Maybe I won't even get she at all on this idk who knows

[granite steppe]

salad is getting dead

[robust creek]

yes kinda, it's decreasing more and more

[gleaming shell]

us bandwidth is infested with flat dead jobless gateways and has been this way for months :(

It's basically the same effect as having no bandwidth sharing support for the us at all

[civic fern]

okay, since when checking the fraud score of my ip... increases the fraud score itself?

checked once, 0/100
refreshed, 28/100
refreshed, 89/100

what is this?

All of this is on a new windows install, mind you. So i don't have ANYTHING that can bother the fraud score yet

Just checking the fraud score increases the fraud score?

[upbeat shuttle]

ipqs's fraud score is nothing but an imaginary number that some stupid companies pay for without knowing they're buying placebo numbers

[civic fern]

Yeah but the problem is that salad also checks that number

Otherwise i wouldn't care at all

[upbeat shuttle]

I actually don't know for sure if Salad currently uses IPQS

[civic fern]

ª

Sometimes salad works with high fraud score, sometimes i need to restart the modem

Rn sgs seems to be alive even with 89/100 fraud score

Seeing only 49 background processes in w11 feels like heaven ngl

[livid edge]

Same. Usually it goes on after like 10 or so minutes, even if its just Kbps. I went from fractions of a cent to 0 for the past few days now

[robust creek]

My ip is static and now has 89 score, salad works fine

By checking the traffic, they not always use your connection to directly access the websites but many times seems just uses you as second node that redirects the traffic, many GB of traffic shows being downloaded from residential ips of my same isp or other isps in italy, probably other salad users

[granite steppe]

u had a score of 25 i guess earlier some days u told me

[waxen pollen]

Id be surprised if salad didn't. BW clients would want IPs with good rep scores. I've notices mine go up on 2 IPs i have. a week ago 1 of them had a 0 score. Now 48. (Both of them are)

[robust creek]

i had 25 a month ago

[gleaming shell]

from what I know, ive been told Salad doesnt use IPQS
(idk if the customers themselves can use them tho)

I JUST GOT ON THE SITE FYM

yep still the same bs

[waxen pollen]

yikes, that will take years of good rep to remove. (No joke, it's slow to change)

[gleaming shell]

I'm getting a new ISP soon anyways

Also yeah ipissqualityscore doesn't lower my IP score any time soon

From experience

[waxen pollen]

is the IP only used by salad or do you browse the webs on it too?

[waxen pollen]

Yep

[gleaming shell]

i use salad along with 4 other passive income apps

But the thing is I'm not IP blacklisted anywhere and no other IP checking sites have an issue with it, only ipissqualityscore

Also I bet my IP score is 0 if you actually pay for IPQS, since earnapp uses it and no way I'm still getting full earnings despite such a score

I'm also able to get sgs client instantly on multiple devices (tho I don't actually earn anything since us bandwidth is screwed)

Also IPQS screwed my IP before I even used the other apps

^also very funny of the site to mark a VPN IP I used back in china as 10 fraud, no VPN, no proxy, and no bot activity

[waxen pollen]

Earnapp would eb the only other one IK of that doesn't activly mess with your IP score. Honey, P2P, IPRoyal and any others do not care what there clients use your IP for or any damage that was caused to it.

Earnapp are a bunch of scummy little pieces of shts for their practises and i'd say only use them if you must.

Salad is the only one i use (Mostly due to it being the only app that has actually good bw traffic, unlike Earnapp and the rest. Though earnapp pays for $10 a month for unlimited traffic through your network where i make double that with Salad.

Earnapp only lets you make pocket change

[waxen pollen]

that was likely the sites you were going on and or extensions like VPNs

[gleaming shell]

yeah unfortunately earnapp has came to sh :(

I used to get a consistent 50 cents per day

And now they switched to pay per time so I get like 10 dollars per month at most and they can get to use whatever bandwidth they want

And if I don't provide full bandwidth I don't get full earnings

I would only use salad bandwidth sharing but us bandwidth is just an electricity burner for 0 earnings

And has been this way for months

[waxen pollen]

they used to be good for US traffic and i created a quarter million dollar a year company off them. (Not doing anything their TOS said we couldn't) and then shadow changed their TOS to ban VMs and Proxies and blocked our 16000 residential IPs

All while limiting the traffic earnapp gave out and moved it to their piggybox app so they could send as much traffic down your IP for $10 a month. Now they are doing it with Earnapp too. They are an utter joke and i hope they get what they deserve. (But probs unlikely as they are too big, have too big of a foot print within BW jobs to even care for us cows)

[gleaming shell]

lol

Ig the only competitor app against salad bandwidth sharing here in the us is Honeygain now

^and like you said they don't care what that do with ips

well, atm us bandwidth is cooked so even the worst of competing apps earn better due to the abundance of dead gateways in the us

But obv talking about a case where there is a good gateway

[waxen pollen]

Issue with HG is they don't care what their users use your IP for. They have 0 checks to prevent illegal stuff. Which could cause a whole heck of problems for you to have to deal with. IE the Law

[gleaming shell]

ig no more good bandwidth sharing apps int the us lol

[waxen pollen]

It's HG thats screwed your IP rep more than likely

[gleaming shell]

their content delivery also feels a bit ehh aswell lol

Any day they can use like 4 terabytes of your bandwidth and you'll only get paid the static like 12 cents

[gleaming shell]

could be

Oh well this IP is bombed already and I'm getting a new ISP soon anyways so whatever

[misty furnace]

mac have you looked at the video guide I sent you yet?

[waxen pollen]

All the other BW apps (Least a few years back when i used them) the UK traffic is terrible, not worth the electric cost. Salad is the ONLY app that has good UK traffic and actually has the best in the world. Got lucky with salad.

[gleaming shell]

might as well squeeze whatever I can get out of this

[gleaming shell]

yeah y'all are lucky to have salad lol

do you know if the UK still has static pay?

Or is it all drowned out by throughput

[waxen pollen]

Not yet, i'll do so now. (Keep putting it off 😅 fricking ADHD and obversions)

[misty furnace]

there's no commentary in the video, but it should be easy enough to follow

[waxen pollen]

it does yeah

i have 10 devices (VMS) and all at least have static pay rn

[gleaming shell]

wow lucky mf lol
Stuck here in the US with 10 / 12 dead jobless gateways and zero static pay

[waxen pollen]

dang

[gleaming shell]

it sucks because almost every new gateway in the us always ends up becoming unsuccessful

[waxen pollen]

Nice, think it should help a lot. Mostly just following you. 😅

[waxen pollen]

i'm guessing the US has so many because of how large it is? Else why have so many if 90% of them rarely get work

The UK has 5 (That ik of) but i'm guessing thats because of how much traffic it has. Not 100% sure

[gleaming shell]

there are two gateways that do have some decent throughput, and those are daffodil-4 and lotus

im justnot sure whats going on with the rest of the 10 gateways

[upbeat shuttle]

most uk gateways have either zero or very low throughput

[gleaming shell]

2 of the us gateways dont even have a reason to exist and idk why they do, not only are they zero throughput but theyre not even located in the US

franklin and marigold are in the uk

but for some reason are us gateways

[waxen pollen]

i get 2 that have most of the traffic and the rest get far less or just static pay. Least in my experience.

[gleaming shell]

i wouldve kept my vms if us bandwidth had static pay so the galbraith gateways were somehat worth running on
but since us bandwidth doesnt have any static pay and were stuck with the zero throughput gateways i just deleted the vms lol

[waxen pollen]

i saw 34MB in 1 sec today on my sky 900upload line. Highest i've seen it on glasswire

[waxen pollen]

do you have to restart your device a lot to get the active gateways?

[gleaming shell]

that used to be the case, or i can just end task on sgs until i get a desirable gateway

But the thing is unfortunately I cant do that anymore. for the past several months all salad has given me are dead jobless gateways and I have never been able to get daffodil-4 or lotus

every time i restart, I get a galbraith, franklin, or toolik

[waxen pollen]

dang

[upbeat shuttle]

you restart your pc to reroll?

[waxen pollen]

i do, but because i don't know how to do it and not have to restart the device 😅 Though only done that a few times

[gleaming shell]

every time I end task on sgs client, itll start a new one with one of those dead jobless gateways
and if I end task sgs client too much salad simply just doesnt start sgs client again
and if I click the retry on the degraded error as thats the only way sgs will start up again, itll just isntantly give me a dead gateway

[waxen pollen]

I feel we should be able to set the gateway per device

[gleaming shell]

like what reason is there for this gateway to even exist
(and yes you might be saying there are conections, but these connections actually dont even pay/show up on earnings graph and even if they do its abysmally low regardless)

[gleaming shell]

yeah thats what im saying aswell lol
Salad isnt the best at choosing what gateway has the most demand

and we cant just "block the gateways in firewall" as salad isnt smart enough to detect that even the process they made themselves is erroring out/failing to connect, and salad wil still continue to run on that block gateway

[waxen pollen]

as i've recently noticed that i 1 of the 10 BW devices (5 over 2 IPs) i may need to restart the device for the gateway to get the one thats missing. As two or more devices may have the same gateway set

[gleaming shell]

i just gave up on us bandwidth tbh lol

i wont really try much to monitor my laptop until bandwidth sharing in the us becomes worth running again

[gleaming shell]

like these

they dont even pay

[waxen pollen]

i'm very surprised, as US traffic was always far far higher than the rest of the world no matter which BW app i was using.

It's probs Bright Datas fault US traffic is so bad for everyone else. But great for them. Due to their unlimited passthrough for $10 a month. Bright Data is HUGE and owns 10s of thousands of IPs themselves, add with their scummy practises.

[gleaming shell]

At one point salad bandwidth sharing in the us was actually good

but now were in the "its so over" phase for a while, idk when were gonna get a "were so back" phase again

i wanna ask salad if they can bring static pay back to the us but idk if its worth even bothering to ask

[waxen pollen]

because Bright Data is so big, they are likely out pricing salad for US traffic.

[gleaming shell]

maybe i could put in feedback idk

[waxen pollen]

that traffic hasn't gone away. Or id be super surprised if it had. It's a huge industry in the US

[gleaming shell]

idk if salad really advertises sgs for customers in the us

[gleaming shell]

which honestly they should

[waxen pollen]

Be super stupid if they didn't

that would be easy money for them if they were not

[gleaming shell]

cause i dont have good hardware for salad, and the only reason I use salad is for the bandwidth sharing

but for the past several months its been a dead jobless land

[waxen pollen]

GPU containers are global, id honestly recommend getting a decent GPU to tap into that too.

[gleaming shell]

I have an intel arc gpu so no customers yet

my brother has a 3080ti but it runs at like 94c lol i doubt any customer wants that

ive mentioned him about the conerning temps but he doesnt seem to care lol

im probably just gonna crypto mine once winter comes along for heat

[waxen pollen]

At high resourse use (BW and or containers) MY 1 4090 does $6.2 a day and my 10 BW deviced (VMs) do (recently at most) $7 a day. (And yes albeit if all have jobs and the have high paying jobs, it's not consistent at all for containers and UK traffic had taken a tumble recently. Starting to recover now i think)

[waxen pollen]

94c while not great, is useable. Id suggest setting better fan curves and or getting a few more case fans

[gleaming shell]

yeah he never set any of his fans correctly i believe lol
even while gaming his pc is unusually quiet

[waxen pollen]

no no no, use salad GPU containers. they generally earn ore than cyrpto mining

[gleaming shell]

maybe when theres customers for my specific arc gpu
or if my brother wants to use salad aswell

[waxen pollen]

it will reduce it's life expectancy, compared to 70/80c but not by anything too egregious. and he won't get good performance in games at that temp, will be starting to get thermal throttled

[waxen pollen]

ohh you mean for your arc GPU, yeah

[gleaming shell]

yeah im sure hes not getting maximum performance on that

isnt the temp limit for these gpus 84c?

or somewhere around that

[waxen pollen]

probs costing him 5/15%

maybe more

[gleaming shell]

but for now, theres no option for it yet

maybe one day

[waxen pollen]

95 i think, letme check

[gleaming shell]

At one point salad did have intel arc B series gpus as "coming soon" in the salad cloud portal but they removed it

[waxen pollen]

no you were right, it's 83c for a 3080

though, depends on the card too

very much depends on the thermal pads the manufacture uses. GIGABYTE use terrible pads while Asus use far better ones

[gleaming shell]

his gpu is an evga lol
i dont think he really cares about pc maitenence

[waxen pollen]

they were a good brand

[waxen pollen]

will cost him in the long run. It could cause a short due to dust build-up and if not cleaned out will cause the PC to run much hotter due to lack of good air supply. It will end it's life before the normal 6+ years operating time that you can expected from GPUs these days.

[gleaming shell]

yeah he better clean it some time lol

[serene falcon]

Does honeygain affect salad in anyway

[upbeat shuttle]

As long as you're not hitting your max download/upload speeds when running both, it's fine

well it'd also probably be fine if it were, but more ideal if they weren't fighting over bandwidth

[serene falcon]

Ok thanks

[misty furnace]

potentially, but indirectly through ip fraud reputation

[serene falcon]

I don't earn from salad bw mostly from cpu container job

It impact jobs too

?

[misty furnace]

should be fine then

I assumed you meant bandwidth sharing because that's what this thread is for

[gleaming shell]

In my experience not really, but sometimes content delivery can use a bit of bandwidth make sure your sgs has enough room to breathe

If you're in the US you can probably confidently run many bandwidth sharing apps

(but be careful of bombing your IP obv)

[serene falcon]

I haven't seen sgs in my workload folder , a month passed

[gleaming shell]

What country are you in

[serene falcon]

India

[gleaming shell]

ohh

[serene falcon]

Others are earning

But not me🥺

[gleaming shell]

in my experience getting a new IP helped

back when I had no sgs for months

[serene falcon]

How can i

[gleaming shell]

it varies upon ISP
Sometimes you can get a new IP by unplugging your router for a minute or even a day
Sometimes you have to contact your ISP
Sometimes they don't offer a IP renewal

[serene falcon]

Ohk thanks

And what is ip bombing

You mentioned earlier

[gleaming shell]

It's some stupid term I made up

Basically running many bandwidth sharing apps can have a small chance of causing your IP reputation to become bad or "abusive" and you might notice more Captchas or less earnings from bandwidth sharing apps

Tho that can also be resolved by getting a new ip

[serene falcon]

Ok thanks alot bro

[waxen pollen]

Just be aware that HG will damage your IPs fraud reputation score and you may start seeing CAPTCHA (Prove your human) the more your IP is damaged and may prevent you from going on some sites as you get blacklisted.

IK earnapp will block your IP if the IP score is too damaged

[misty furnace]

^ I've had VPNs with a score bad enough that I had to complete a captcha to search google

[waxen pollen]

Yeah it gets stupid annoying. Best practise is to try and look after your IP score. Way less annoying

Though it's not always that simple. unless you have a static IP that is

[gleaming shell]

my sketchy chinese vpn i used was great

except I somehow got a us galbraith gateway with it somehow, but i think thats on salads side. there wasnt even a bandwidth sharing option and it still somehow gave me a dead gateway in the us

[misty furnace]

I got a vps with a static ip. fraud score 0 and I use it for my vpn

like what you're planning

[gleaming shell]

says its connected to hong kong servers but glasswire shows a bunch of chinese ips 🔥

[waxen pollen]

Right but thats a VPS with a static clean IP your paying for, not a VPN which companies like IPQualityScore fraud detect, (Which a whole lotta sites us) detects the VPN and lowers your score regardless, even if you not doing anything illegal.

[misty furnace]

you can set up a vpn in less than 3 minutes if you have root access to a vps

super easy

sudo/root

[gleaming shell]

Thank God earnapp atleast probably pays for IPQS
I don't want a galbraith experience on another app over some bs results from a bs site

[granite steppe]

oh yea

[granite steppe]

the sgs client is not in my workloads folder

cant that be the reason im not getting bandwidth job

[upbeat shuttle]

Salad will download it when it needs it

[granite steppe]

what if i manually download it?

[upbeat shuttle]

You're welcome to try manually downloading it if you wanna ^^

[granite steppe]

should i do this or not?

because its been days i am not getting any bandwidth job but i meet all the requirements

@upbeat shuttle can we see if salad is failing to download sgs-client.exe ?

[serene falcon]

How can we manually download it

[upbeat shuttle]

all that is answered in the message i replied to

[jolly fog]

u didnt answered my question

btw im from my different acc

[jolly fog]

Ozua tell me

[upbeat shuttle]

it'll say somewhere in the logs something about it failing to download it

it's a pretty rare issue to have, from what I've seen

[jolly fog]

where?

[upbeat shuttle]

salad's main logs

C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\

[jolly fog]

oh

[upbeat shuttle]

there's no negatives/downsides/drawbacks/etc. from manually downloading it, so you could try it anyways

[heady cipher]

been days since a container

[jolly fog]

oh still ill wait some time and read the logs

i got some patience

[waxen pollen]

I moved 5 of my devices back to a single account, (Was testing an issue i was having when they were all connected) and they haven't connected in 3 days now. None of them even have a machine ID yet 🤔

[granite steppe]

huh

i didnt understand

@upbeat shuttle i've found some issues or anything in the salad main logs

[waxen pollen]

They don't say which one they use (Or never did while i was using them) but more than likely

[granite steppe]

chatgpt found these

[misty furnace]

I do not recommend using ChatGPT to interpret logs. It doesn't have context behind what each message means

[granite steppe]

man how do i read the whole log

its gonna take a month lmao

[misty furnace]

!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.

[granite steppe]

ah

[waxen pollen]

maybe salad could provide a log of context for chatGPT to use to diagnose logs maybe? Just an idea

[granite steppe]

put that idea in #salad-feedback

[misty furnace]

shhh... don't tell them I already have something like that WIP 👀

[granite steppe]

wdym

give me that wip

[waxen pollen]

Atoms a wiz kid

[granite steppe]

btw wdym by wip

[misty furnace]

(in the brainstorming phase rn)

[misty furnace]

google it

[granite steppe]

he's very intelligent

oohhh

[granite steppe]

oh now i understand

[misty furnace]

my goal is to have a script that you toss a log into and it will output the issue. unfortunately you really just need the salad source code to fully understand the logs

[granite steppe]

i need help

should i manually download

sgs-client.exe

[misty furnace]

What I think Salad could do is add an ai assistant to support.salad.com that will analyze your logs

[misty furnace]

nah

[granite steppe]

ozua said u can

[misty furnace]

you can if you want, but it won't help

bandwidth sharing is not a guaranteed workload. it will only start if your machine is authorized for the workload

just having it downloaded doesn't do anything

[granite steppe]

how do i know if my machine is authorized

[misty furnace]

bandwidth sharing will download automatically and start running

[granite steppe]

what if salad is having a problem in downloading sgs-client.exe

[granite steppe]

btw salad earn summary doesnt show any machine id's

[misty furnace]

it will give a degraded error

[granite steppe]

i dont have any earnings though

in a month

[misty furnace]

once a machine starts earning, its id shows up

[granite steppe]

oh

[waxen pollen]

regarding that, i just moved 5 devices back to 1 account (Was testing an issue) but none have connected in 3 days. If i move one back to the other account and it connects and gets work within hrs, while the others still haven't. Whats that maybe suggesting?

[misty furnace]

1. don't use a second account unless you have written permission from Salad (it's against TOS)
2. maybe there's a limit for bandwidth sharing on an account and not just ip

[waxen pollen]

wasn't that rule removed since theres no actual bad effect for salad anymore?

[misty furnace]

It was never removed

and it's still bad because it allows for ban evasion

[waxen pollen]

hmm, it was spoken about and said it wasn't relevant any longer

[waxen pollen]

hmm, thats a fair point. But still have to test if things don't seem right. IE theres a bug. How are we went to find fixes or get fixes if we cannot confirm an issue. Least thats how i see it

[waxen pollen]

also theres not meant to be any limit as i've asked if we can have 2 IPs on a single account before

[misty furnace]

If you want to test things that's fine, but you still need written permission. It's still against TOS and can be grounds for account termination

[misty furnace]

you can have tons of IPs on an account, but I'm not quite sure how bandwidth sharing works with that

[waxen pollen]

I had an issue before that i was in contact with support about, it's the same account i was using before.

[misty furnace]

but did you get permission from Salad to use the second account? or did you just create it because you thought it was ok

[waxen pollen]

I'm unsure, i have had all devices bar 1 connected on a single account before. Though they would only connect if one device when offline. So im unsure

[waxen pollen]

i told them i had used a second account to confirm a GPU issue.

[granite steppe]

@misty furnace do ip ratings matter

can they be the reason of not getting any bandwidth job

[misty furnace]

yes, to a point

[granite steppe]

what if i gave u my ip and you test it on ipqs

my ip is cgnat

[granite steppe]

btw what is the point

[misty furnace]

I'm starting class right now, cya

[granite steppe]

okay

[waxen pollen]

i just used the same account i used before that salad knows about to find out why my SKY devices were not connecting till one that was connected went offline. They all connected within hrs after i had moved them. I moved them back a few days ago and none of them have even received their machine IDs yet.

My view on it is if i'm doing something that is meant to be allowed on a single account and it's not doing that, then i should be allowed to set them up on a second account till said issue is resolved. Least thats how i see it, but i had moved them back to a single account again to see if i had found the issue, but now haven't connected in a few days even after i've restarted 1 of the 5 devices. (As i think the issue before was that a few of the 5 devices where connecting to the same gateway and wasn't getting a ID. But now none of them are connecting and haven't in 3 days. So got me to wondering whats up)

[granite steppe]

chill dude

stop typing

so much

[waxen pollen]

@lone solstice Hey sorry for the ping, but a quick question. We are allowed to have as many IPs on a single account as we can get right? and 1 devices connected to each gateways (UK has 5)

When i connect all 10 devices (1 per IP - i have 2 separate residential IPs) only 5 are connecting, only when 1 goes down does one of the 5 that have not connected connect.

[waxen pollen]

I'm sorry what?

[granite steppe]

nothing

just saying chill you are typing so much

[waxen pollen]

1 what's it to you, butt out. 2 i was talking to cursed and 3 i had a question for Angaros.

So chill yourself

I'd hardly call any of that over typing, and even if it was. Isn't this a help channel. One you just used yourself??

[misty furnace]

got a quick question for you btw... why do you have 2 accounts in this server

[rough lance]

why do they

[gleaming shell]

it would be great if this atleast paid, even if its 0.0000000000000000000000000000001

[granite steppe]

ah man why did you took it seriously

[granite steppe]

i forgot the my sec acc password and gmail one too so i made this new acc

[misty furnace]

this account joined the server 4 days before the other account. not adding up

[granite steppe]

this one?

[misty furnace]

yes

[granite steppe]

@jolly fog

lemme check

[misty furnace]

oh wait that's 2024

I saw august 14 and august 18

[granite steppe]

btw this acc is already made

i joined the server

in this acc

14 aug 2025

[granite steppe]

o yes

[waxen pollen]

Maybe because there was no impression of a joke. 😩

[granite steppe]

i could have told you exactly what i meant but i wish i could talk in hindi and you knew hindi

[misty furnace]

use ai to translate your hindi to english

[granite steppe]

oh yes

still they are not accurate

[robust creek]

Ai translation is much more accurate than any other translator out there

[misty furnace]

^ if given proper context

[gleaming shell]

packetstream is actual balls 💀

💀

packetshare too wtf is this 💀

honorable mention sald

salad earnings might increase a tiny bit as its starting to get a bit cold here and i might mine for heat

[robust creek]

nooo packetstream abuses you

it used 30GB and paid me 3GB and my ip got destroyed instantly

@gleaming shell

[gleaming shell]

lol

[waxen pollen]

yeah there also the ones contributing to your abysmal IP score

[gleaming shell]

yeah am aware lol

ill stop using these apps when i get my new isp

unless ipqs lies about scores and completely bombs it again for no reason ill start using it

[waxen pollen]

Hope your not going to be using HG, P2P, IPRoyal, PacketStream and the other bad BW apps once you've gotten your new IP. Or it won't stay clean for very long at all

[waxen pollen]

ohh never mind, you said you wont already lol

[gleaming shell]

yeah ill try to keep it as clean as i can

but my current ip i dont give a sh about it lol

[waxen pollen]

Only ones IK that don't muck your score up too much are Salad and Earnapp. But Earnapp fell from grace a long time ago too with how they treat their cows.

[waxen pollen]

fair

[waxen pollen]

only thing they have going for them is they filter bad actors from using your IPs

[gleaming shell]

yeah earnapp is a lot more abusive now :(
went from 1 dollar per gb here for consistent 50 cents per day sometimes even overflowed traffic for more
to a pay per time where they can use as much data as they want and youll get paid a static amount, and if you dont provide all the internet usage/throttle it you wont get full earnings

earnapp was the only actual salad competitor that didnt screw your ip and earned a good amount

now its just using like double/triple my data usage just for decreased earnings lol

many people were mad about it in the discord when the new system released but of course they cant convince them to change it back

[waxen pollen]

used to be $5 per GB a bit before i started using them. Then it went to $1.5, then a dollar. (think it went lower than that but i cannot recall too well) Now $10 a month for as much data as they like. Naaaa thanks but i'm good with salad

[gleaming shell]

wow

[waxen pollen]

yeah earnapp has fallen from grace, though i could see it happening a long, long time ago.

with the directions they took and how they treated the cows (IE us)

[waxen pollen]

It's because they don't care. They really do not. They have Bright Data backing them. I'd even go as far as to call some of the things they did as possible illegal under UK and US law

[gleaming shell]

bruh it didnt even count some of the hours for my laptop

(this laptop stays on 24/7)

[gleaming shell]

ye

[waxen pollen]

o.O

[gleaming shell]

oh well ig im still earning like 50 to 70 cents per day combined form all these apps

would be way more if salad bandwidth sharing wasnt so nonexistently bad in the us

[waxen pollen]

I'm so thankful for Salad being around and seems to be set on a far better direction for us cows. Just hope they stick with it. Not trying to eat every bit of proffit from us like ALL the others do. (Get paid 100% more than what we get. we get $0.10 per GB but they make $1.50 or more for themselves)

Least with salad we get the majority of what the client pays us.

PLEASE PLEASE SALAD, NEVER STRAY FROM THAT.

[waxen pollen]

thats so crazy to me. US used to be the best traffic no matter the BW app

[gleaming shell]

packetstream after charging 1 dollar per gb but only paying the sharers 10 cents per gb

[gleaming shell]

yeah unfourtunately its not the case for salad

a while back it used to be decent

but for the past several months 10 out of the 12 us gateways have been dead flat jobless

[waxen pollen]

Ohh i'm sorry, am i still typing to much!!

[gleaming shell]

and obviously no static pay

atleast salad doesnt abuse us...

[waxen pollen]

Right, they have been the only ones that haven't. So thankful for that.

[gleaming shell]

pay per gigabyte on salad is very low compared to other apps but am pretty sure a lot of it is video streaming?

it doesnt screw over ips tho

and even then the high amount of throughput (when it works) makes up for it^

[waxen pollen]

I'm so glad the UK is with salad. Got lucky for a change 😅

[gleaming shell]

yeah lol uk'ers have it good

[waxen pollen]

It's weird AF. The US has a huge industry for BW jobs

[gleaming shell]

yeah

on salad us bandwidth is either "were so back" or "its so over" for a very long time

[waxen pollen]

that sucks though. The UK mostly (Least for me) has 2 gateways at any given time that has decent or none static pay at any given time. Least the other 3 get us staic pay to make it worth it

[gleaming shell]

when bandwidth sharing started it was pretty mid
then it became really good around 2023
then it became terrible
then became good again when daffodil-4 boomed
and now its terrible again with 10/12 dead gateways lol

[waxen pollen]

well least give us one app lol

[gleaming shell]

yeah all 10 of the gateways here that have no jobs (not to mention 2 of gateways arent even located in the US, theyre in the UK) and theres no static pay for any of them

and theyve been dead for months upon months, ever since they released

[waxen pollen]

thats weird

[gleaming shell]

I might ask salad about the case of us bandwidth or their thoughts about readding static pay to the us for the next sos

or maybe in salad feedback when staff have the chance to respond to them

a while back the us used to have a 12 cent per day static pay

it was great, during times with no bandwidth jobs it was still worth keeping on

[waxen pollen]

Seems us BW providers get less attention than the container side. We get very little info on how they are trying to improve it or find more work. Guess it maybe because it's very regional, unlike containers

[gleaming shell]

from what ive heard, salad doesnt advertise bandwidth sharing to the US

[waxen pollen]

I mean, 12cents times 12 gateways is a nice little provider, then add the gateways that get regular work. That would suck.

I wonder how much salad sources BW jobs

[gleaming shell]

eh the most gateways ive gotten simultaneously is 4

[waxen pollen]

if they are not doing it for the US, then i brout they are doing it for any other than passivly. Thats kinda nuts if that is the case. It's easy money they are losing out on. Should have a region specific team member that actively sources BW traffic for each region.

[gleaming shell]

but yeah regardless static pay would be very beneficial
sure salad would be spending extra money but it would make things fairer
and atleast salad isnt inefficiently burning money to keep up a gateway that noones gonna earn anything off^

[waxen pollen]

guessing that there must be a valid reason to have so many for the US.

[misty furnace]

many customers, but not much throughput from most

[waxen pollen]

do you know if or how much salad actively sources BW work for us?

or is it just passively

[misty furnace]

I think they actively source it, but it's up to the customers to actually use the service

[gleaming shell]

some of the gateways have a very tiny occasional spike to "apiproxy-website-nlb...", "e14245.dscb.akamaiedge.net", and "www.prod.ftl.netflix.com" but they arent even real jobs (they dont pay/show up on earnings graph)

and the others are just absolutely zero connections

[waxen pollen]

well yeah ofc, can only take a horse to a watering hole, cant make it drink 😅

[gleaming shell]

would be nice if salad could temporarily limit the amount of users on these gateways or just straight up remove it until they get enough demand instead of having it out for everyone in the us and noone ends up earning anything

id rather have no sgs for potentially a while and wait for it to start with a good gateway than get a bad gateway instantly and have it run on that 24/7 knowing I will never get any throughput

[waxen pollen]

would love a grath of global BW demand for each region. So we can see if traffic is getting better or worse. But very unlikely as most companies don't like providing things that give off negative sentiments.

[gleaming shell]

yeah i would love a bandwidth sharing demand monitor

[waxen pollen]

man, i really hope Salad never lose it's way by becoming greedy like the rest of the industry is. 🥺 🥺

[shadow flame]

my bandwidth saring not earnings since two days

any solution?

[granite steppe]

are you meeting the requirements?

[shadow flame]

yea i am having 100 mbps network

[granite steppe]

in the latest ndm log?

paste this command in powershell

Get-Content (Get-ChildItem C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\ndm | Sort-Object LastWriteTime | Select-Object -last 1).FullName | Select-String "rate:|Ping:"

[granite steppe]

the speeds are okay

[shadow flame]

then why isnt it earning?

[granite steppe]

because bandwidth sharing is not a guaranteed workload

[shadow flame]

oh

[granite steppe]

yes

[shadow flame]

so should i wait

?

[granite steppe]

yes

[shadow flame]

ok tysm

[narrow tiger]

are you in the usa

cuz bw been dead for several months except for a phenomenal 2 days last month

[shadow flame]

Nah I'm in India

[misty furnace]

10mbps might be too low btw. general minimum is 15

[serene falcon]

Na it's issue with region

I have 90 mbps in liberclient logs

[gleaming shell]

the 2 days I will never forget

those 2 days were my salad-lifetime record earning days ironically

at sub-3 dollars in 24h

[civic fern]

galbraith's blessing didn't last long

[gleaming shell]

It sure didn't

I made 4 vms for this sh just for it to be dead again in 2 days 😭

[civic fern]

wait- wuh

[gleaming shell]

I deleted them am not wasting 256gb of my storage for dead jobless gateways

[civic fern]

No i mean

How did you run other gateways on vms

[gleaming shell]

There was 4 Galbraith gateways
I made 4 vms
Each VM got a Galbraith gateway

[civic fern]

Salad on vms work?

[gleaming shell]

yep

[civic fern]

You're in the us right

I keep getting

[craggy bronze]

Yep

Wondering if I need to get a new IP

[gleaming shell]

you could

that usually gives the best success

but idk if its worth bothering rn with the current case of us bandwidth

unless you know you can get daffodil-4 or lotus (which you wouldn't), i wouldnt get a new ip

[misty furnace]

^ sometimes as easy as unplugging router for 5 minutes

[robust creek]

My ip is static so no matter how much time i keep my modem turned off

[misty furnace]

yeah some isps give a sticky ip

[robust creek]

i have asked them to change it or even better give me a dynamic ip and they said is not possible, wtf???

[solemn widget]

hey any of u guys known how to block a specific librespeed server

[misty furnace]

I use windows firewall

then block the IP of the server

Content delivery? Scam

[gleaming shell]

no content delivery on mobile
But yes desktop wise content delivery is a scam

[gleaming shell]

wow earnapp killed itself and the app still said "app is active"

and the device didnt evne show up as offline on the dashboard until today

at least there was no data usage and I wasnt just giving away my resources for free

[robust creek]

they even became slower to pay, i'm waiting for my payment from 4 days

never understood why they don't setup an automatic payment system like salad

[civic fern]

i got my payout in 30 minutes

also uninstalled it with their newer pay based on how long your device is running for

[robust creek]

in 30 minutes when

[civic fern]

wym when

i got my payout in 30 minutes from when i asked for the payout

[robust creek]

usually if you withdraw the money after 9am italy timezone you will surely get it the next day, if you request at 8:59 you can receive it from 11am to 2-3pm

earnapp

of same day

but sometimes they skip the payment and keep you waiting longer

[gleaming shell]

i wouldve also stopped using it but salad bandwidth sharing in the us is still dead so ill just keep holding on to it

[gleaming shell]

wow first actual traffic from sketchy bandwidth sharing app #6

nvm its the same as the others

bro every bandwidth sharing app in the us either bombs your ip, earns nothing, or is crypto payout only 😭

[narrow tiger]

it is unknown

[robust creek]

114.114.114.114

[serene falcon]

I just came to know we need 100ms of latency to get bandwidth job, but i am getting like 250ms how to reduce it

[misty furnace]

try restarting your computer when nobody else is using your internet, use ethernet rather than Wifi, try changing your DNS, and maybe restart your router

[gleaming shell]

average LibreSpeed experience

[misty furnace]

bro that's literally my cell service rn

[granite steppe]

[gleaming shell]

wow

wtf

[empty hinge]

monk boomin with tht sgs

[gleaming shell]

us bandwidth dead month 4

[craggy bronze]

Yep

[latent breach]

got sgs-client back after at-least 6 months on my laptop

[gleaming shell]

nice

now just hope you arent living in the us lol

[latent breach]

I'm still in India

[empty hinge]

more than 6 for me

guess wwhat

[empty hinge]

yk you got sgs atleast

[empty hinge]

bro which provider you using ?

[serene falcon]

@empty hinge you too from India?

[gleaming shell]

as weird as it sounds, id rather not get sgs right now
Id rather wait potentially a long time without sgs until I get a good gateway, than get sgs instantly but its a dead gateway everytime, knowing I wont ever earn anything out of it

I have sgs but its the same thing as having no sgs, except you know its just going to keep running the dead gateway

[empty hinge]

um yes

[serene falcon]

Which isp

[empty hinge]

ngl makes sense here also we had 2 working gateways 1 was rare but shitload of traffic and 1 dead

[empty hinge]

💔airtel

[serene falcon]

I'm from India too

[empty hinge]

ik

[serene falcon]

Me too airtel

[empty hinge]

🥺 ur sgs working?

[serene falcon]

No

[empty hinge]

[serene falcon]

From last 2 months

[empty hinge]

🚶 very recent last time i saw sgs was back in december

[serene falcon]

Hindi me ajao

[gleaming shell]

at least you don't got 2 mid gateways and 10 dead gateways, 2 of which aren't even in the country

But yeah

Dead gateways will be dead gateways

Not sure why the us has such a bad case of it

[empty hinge]

😭 10 dead gateways odds will never be in ur favour at tht point

[gleaming shell]

Haven't been able to get any of the 2 decent gateways in over 4 months

Ever since salad randomly swapped gateways

on my computers that were running just fine

[empty hinge]

💀 wait when did this happen

randomly swapping

[gleaming shell]

It's always had a history of randomly swapping gateways

It's just 4 months ago it decided to randomly swap from d4/lotus to the galbraiths and I have never seen bandwidth earnings ever again since then

[robust creek]

Is not going well here either with 1 gateway recently

0,20/0,30 a day

Coming from 1-2$ a day earnings

[latent breach]

I'm using local broadband

[empty hinge]

ohh

well good

[gleaming shell]

bruh ts app and us bandwidth man

it doesnt matter what ip or type it is it will keep giving me a galbraith every single time

ipv6?

[tidal bough]

no way your isp finally got ipv6

[gleaming shell]

nah its my mobile data

got a new isp today but it seems like i cant get sgs (not like there is anything to lose atp)

first time i switched isps, i got sgs client within minutes

maybe "no salad reputation"

[empty hinge]

whats salad reputation mate

[gleaming shell]

no idea lol id guess it would mean ill have to run my device for longer

so salad trusts it more idk

[empty hinge]

welp i heard of tht myth long ago

[gleaming shell]

oh well if I don't ever get SGS client again oh well—

if only salad wouldve given me something that is worth even keeping my computer on for

^and same thing goes with earnapp idk wth happened to that either, went from a great competitive consistent 50 cents per day down to a "get abused for less pay" and now I'm earning flat 0 from that too

honeygain is my only hope man 😭

-# "just get a real job chromebook destoryer"

[serene falcon]

Honeygain interept my salad or no?

[gleaming shell]

in my experience, no

but be careful it could bomb your ip

[serene falcon]

Ohk

[gleaming shell]

and that might cause it

[gleaming shell]

oh well—upgraded my internet because it had a more competitive price, not for salad

[gleaming shell]

Interesting, I've gotten SGS on my mobile data pretty frequently

Tho I'm not sure if the getting jobs itself part will work tho, since all I've been given are dead gateways

[robust creek]

They probably assume that if its mobile ip then its slower or limited data so they don't wanna use it

😭 thought this was spanish

was wondering why it look so weird

[gleaming shell]

a whole millenium of us bandwidth earnings (10 cents in non-honeygainer words)

is that how its speeled?

millenium

millenium

it looks weird

one decade of galbraith earnings (1/10 cent in non-packetsharer words)

[narrow tiger]

bro earnapp is so shit now

[gleaming shell]

ong its so sh

[narrow tiger]

2weeks is like 5bucks

[gleaming shell]

honeygains the only hope now 🙏 and that bombs your ip

if only the content delivery wasnt static

bruh i never get cd

what

bruh i got my new isp and i got content delivery instantly lol

but no sgs

bruh packetshare sucks balls it earns nothign

[wicked lark]

Yo

Where do I download the SGS Client exe files, Salad didnt download them(that file is not even on my computer)

[upbeat shuttle]

read this ^

It's more likely that you just haven't recieved a bandwidth sharing job yet, but you're welcome to try this anyways, as there's no harm in manually downloading it.

[wicked lark]

Yeah but that file is not even on my computer

[upbeat shuttle]

Salad downloads it once you receive a bandwidth sharing job for the first time

[wicked lark]

oh ok

[robust creek]

Again this is the worst app, it counts 10% of the traffic it actually uses and even destroys your ip quick, not worth using

[robust creek]

It was very good with germany ip in 2022

[gleaming shell]

yeah im probs gonna quit

i used to abuse it for 40 cents per day lol

[gleaming shell]

i dont even know if the app even works lol my phone has made nothing since i installed it and for some reason its marking my cellular ip as "residential"

[civic fern]

||"--ipv4 --upload-size 999999 --duration 1"|| has been my fix since forever

doesn't last as long, makes sure to do what it needs to do tho

[gleaming shell]

it might be that infinite update downloading bug

it goes away after you manually install the latest update

idk why it still hasnt been fixed after so long lol

[misty furnace]

nah, that's just the update's size

but yes 1.9.1 is out

[gleaming shell]

or that^

[civic fern]

yee

[waxen pollen]

Does anyone else have 2 IPs plus and more than 5 active BW devices running on there account?

Mine only allows 5 to get SGS, the others only connect if one of the devices that has SGS loses it.

[gleaming shell]

I can only do 4 max

But that's on one ip^ (doesn't matter much anyways tho)

[waxen pollen]

Salad "Yeah link more IPs/GPUs to your account. Yeah more more more, we wat more

Cow, (Us) Sweet, goes out, pays for a dedi server and residental IP to increase earnings.

Salad, ohh but you can only actually 5 BW devices though. because bugs

Cow. FFS salad.

[waxen pollen]

hmm fair. Only 1 IP

[misty furnace]

I'm still waiting for news on that

[waxen pollen]

Support seems rather set though. No wiggle room and no understanding of how, i got more for you but i can't connect it because bug in your software. Ok cool, is there a work around till the bugs squashed, Nope only 1 account.

Rather annoying 😅

[tidal bough]

exactly what i've been experiencing with 2 ips

[waxen pollen]

Wish they would fix it. Been having this issue for 6/12months now

[waxen pollen]

If you don't mind me asking, can you explain in your own words what you think it is. Like how they connect. If you connect all 5 devices to one IP, when does the other IP connect.

Explain it so Jarred has a second source of what happens when you try to connect 5 devices per IP you have access to.

🙃

[wicked lark]

Does it work in the UAE

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah, Bandwidth Sharing should be supported there

Though this can apparently change over time, so let us know how it goes.

[tidal bough]

I can only have max 3 devices (each on different ip) running SGS (since there are only 3 gateways in canada) regardless of how many IPs or devices I have
If I add any more than three devices, one device will lose sgs

[misty furnace]

really unfortunate

I wish it would work per ip rather than per account

[tidal bough]

I might be able to do a test with 7 IPs, but i assume its gonna be the same

[misty furnace]

mac has had 5 on one ip and 0 on the other and several permutations of that

[tidal bough]

and you cant make another account for some reason even though referrals dont exist anymore

[misty furnace]

yea

[waxen pollen]

Ignore, i remembered wrong. ||I used to have 10 devices over two IPs (5 per - UK has 5 gateways) and my GPU device going at the same time. Now can only have 5 total BW devices at any one time with my GPU device||

[misty furnace]

it used to work? or what

[waxen pollen]

Actually i maybe miss remembering that.

So just ignore that. I never had 10 actual devices running. As i only started using VMs when you made the suggestion.

So before i had 5/6 physical devices over 2 IPs.

[wicked lark]

Yeah it could not find a single job

Then I read the Salad support

UAE isnt part of the supported regions

[upbeat shuttle]

It's in the list here ^^
but if it isn't on Salad's support article anymore, maybe the customer for the UAE stopped needing bandwidth from there

[wicked lark]

That was all the way back in 2022, now it doesnt work and isnt in their support page

[robust creek]

It's supported but maybe no demand there

[upbeat shuttle]

The message was sent in 2022, but I keep it updated as best as I can over time. Though it's very difficult to tell if a country is no longer in demand.

Maybe we should change the wording of 'supported countries', since pretty much all countries are supported, but a lot of them will see zero customer demand, others will see very little demand, and others will see a lot of demand. We'd need better continual communication from Salad about SGS customer demand, and not just a vague list.

[wicked lark]

Its there on the Salad support page

Which countries are supported

UAE isnt there

Will a masked VPN work

[frigid reef]

no

[wicked lark]

ok

[gleaming shell]

bruh why are all the isps here so bad 😭

theyre all cgnat

and i have to unplug my router for a long time just to get a new ip

cant get sgs on my new ISP, ipqs being the crap site immediately scored it 100 fraud/abuse and bot activity

i want a new ip but thatll involve unplugging my router for a long time

and im sure my family wouldnt be happy about thag

im on the best isp i can get for its price thats available for my area and its still cgnat and i have to pay for a static ip 😭 and no ipv6 support either

[robust creek]

You at least cam change your ip

My isp refuses

[gleaming shell]

yeah atleast I can do that

[waxen pollen]

If you didn't use the other BW apps that muck your IP score up, you wouldn't have these issues 😅

[misty furnace]

he got a new ISP and IP address and the ip was like 89/100 on ipqs before running anything

[waxen pollen]

Was likely was given an IP that already had a bad score then. There's only so many IPV4 address out there.

[misty furnace]

I did a spot check and it looked like his isp's block had a bad reputation

not just the specific ip

[waxen pollen]

interesting.

[misty furnace]

it's a /16 block owned by the ISP, and it looked like every address had 80+ score

/16 is 65536 addresses

[waxen pollen]

Wunderbar

I used to have a few /4s 😄

Or what ever 16k of them is, I forget

[misty furnace]

16k would be 2^14 or a /18 block

[waxen pollen]

think we got 4k at a time

[misty furnace]

that would be /20 blocks then. 4096 ips per /20 block

although in your case it was likely not blocks of IPs. more likely you had a jumble of IPs and just purchased proxy rights for them

[waxen pollen]

No i do believe it was full blocks. Sold by BlazingSwitch.

[misty furnace]

Oh I'm thinking of another user lmao

I talk to too many networking nerds

[gleaming shell]

And static IP is another 10 dollars per month...

[granite steppe]

damn

i would never buy static ip if i was you

[robust creek]

Static ip is never needed, you can use sites like "noip" to use a domain on your dynamic ips if you need to connect

[gleaming shell]

i am sure as hell not going to pay an extra 10 dollars just for a static ip because no isps here have ipv6 and hvae to share ipv4s with others

and like cursedatom said , im better off buying a 2 dollar vps

[misty furnace]

I personally use cloudflared reverse proxy to host things. Super easy and has access control

[wicked lark]

I use a custom server that provides permanent ad blocking and a custom IP to all devices connected to my internet

[granite steppe]

Rich? I was earning 1-2$ a day now 0,20

[gleaming shell]

was earnings around 1 dollar per day back when d4 was good

then came the infestation of dead gateways

and now i cant get sgs because of my crapped up ip and how unnecessasrily hard it is just to get a new ip

isps here should have an option like a button to allow users to get a new ip... they give out cgnat crap, no ipv6 support, no free personal ip, and ipissqualityscore ghosts their users when you give a ticket saying the scores are BS

[empty hinge]

💀 i was making 0.8 dollar a day and then came the drought of sgs my score is good ( 0 ) my speed is good still

[granite steppe]

i used to earn $1-2 per day by only bandwidth sharing and now im not even earning 1 cent

[granite steppe]

bruh wtf 1 mb speed both down and up and 300ms ping and 150ms jitter is crazy

librespeed shit for a reason

[quiet sundial]

how do i check my ip score?

[upbeat shuttle]

^

[gleaming shell]

yeah LibreSpeed loves to choose a crap server then give my 1000mbps internet a result of 40mbps

[gleaming shell]

libresheit

[empty hinge]

monke been calling it librecrap for a year now

[quiet sundial]

Thanks

[granite umbra]

@gleaming shell there is a rise in demand on galbraith gateways again!!!!

[gleaming shell]

Really?

Unfortunate, can't even get sgs client to start anymore

wouldve stayed on my on my old ISP if only they didn't increase the Internet bills to 130 a month

absolutely insane

[gleaming shell]

I could try to get a new IP but I can't be sure it will work and it will require unplugging my router for a long time, and my brother damn well can't survive like 2 seconds without the internet

Anyways @granite umbra lmk how the demand stays and I'll see if it's worth unplugging my router for a while for, or if it'll roi a 10 dollar per month static ip

lmao of course its when i get a new ISP that i cant get sgs client from and thats when us bandwidth becomes something even worth running on

jesus man

this is the 24h-48h lookback period

[misty furnace]

nice ip bro

[gleaming shell]

and then the 1 week

I might get a static ip if us bandwidth is able to roi it consistently and where my net profit is worth it

[gleaming shell]

got a new ip but no sgs yet

man earnapp is so bad

its just using all the data it wants while paying me sh

if it was still on the pay per gb, i would be earning a consistent 2.5+ dollars per day

but nope now its a 10 dollars per month for however much data they want to use. no bonus/overflow, if i throttle it, i dont get paid

literally the only thing making earnapp competitive and nw they ruin the app

[granite umbra]

It literally only lasted like hour

[gleaming shell]

Really?

💀

I don't think salad likes my new isp

[granite umbra]

just gotta wait some more months to get few cents with bandwidth lol

[gleaming shell]

Still no sgs on the new ip

[gleaming shell]

yep... cant get sgs client on the new ip aswell

i guess theres no point for me to run salad anymore

[granite steppe]

but monke is dead

silentmonster killed him

[neon blade]

damn people still know me

[neon blade]

bw isnt running well nowdays?

[upbeat shuttle]

it's gotten kinda worse

[gleaming shell]

Its been nonexxistent for me for the past seveal months
but now i cant even get sgs client to start after switching to my new isp

back on my old isp, I got sgs client on multiple devices within minutes the day I switched to that isp

now with this isp theres no signs of anything, even with an ip swap

also ironic as i upgraded to 1gbps too

maybe sgs will randomly appear after 9 months

or maybe never

who knows

weird as im not able to get sgs client to start on other IP's aswell anymore, ever since switching to that new isp

[waxen pollen]

don't you have a set amount of days to cancel a new broadband contract in the US?

[misty furnace]

he got the new isp because of cost

not salad

[gleaming shell]

Yeah but the new ISP was a lot cheaper than my old one

didnt want a new ISP just for salad anyways

so whatever

maybe it'll randomly start up in like a millennium

[waxen pollen]

Right, but what i mean is, if there was a different 1gig pack you could get from another provider.

Gives you options if salad is blocked by your current ISP

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately internet here sucks and I'm on the best provider I available :(

[waxen pollen]

well thats sucks. Have you tried contacting them about it?

to see if theres a reason why

other than salad being salad

[gleaming shell]

not yet, but I doubt it's anything that can do about it :(
Am pretty sure it's just salad that doesn't like the ISP or me

I can ping the gateways

And for some reason I haven't been able to get SGS on other networks ever since

[waxen pollen]

you'll have to shut your router off for 10 when you get a chance then. May be the fraud score blocking you if it's at 100% like you've said.

[granite steppe]

yeah u used to know me too ❤️‍🩹 tho its my different acc

[gleaming shell]

yeah I could
Second time in a row this stupid POS site called ipissqualityscore BS'ed my ip

It keeps giving a random score

I get a new IP, nothing happened on it, and IPQS slaps a score of 100 and apparent "abuse and bot activity"

happened 2 times in a row

Such a stupid site

like, I can't blame Honeygain or pawns I'm this case right? It's just slapping a bs score as soon as I get the new IP

[waxen pollen]

Could be something Salad is doing (Or a client using your IP is doing)

[waxen pollen]

What apps are you running on the IP and have ran on it since you got it?

[gleaming shell]

honeygain, pawns, earnapp, salad

i wouldve stopped using them

[waxen pollen]

and theres your answer

[gleaming shell]

but ipqs immediately just slaps a bs score

so might aswell lol

[waxen pollen]

hmmm

[gleaming shell]

and i made sure all my apps are closed before unplugging my router

[waxen pollen]

what did you use before the IP score changed?

[gleaming shell]

so when i get the new ip the apps dont use them

[gleaming shell]

back then the only app I used was salad

and it still somehow got pinned to 100 score

and its weird since im able to get content delivery instantly on honeygain, and im able to earn on earnapp just fine (they themselves use ipqs so im sure the ip score is just fine if you look it up through a paid account)

[waxen pollen]

Then it maybe something a Salad client was doing.

Though could be a site you went on/use that negatively effects your IP score.

Though to go from 0 to 100 in such a short amount of time is funky

[gleaming shell]

am sure it wouldnt be anyhting on salads side since us bandwidth is dead

oh well

[waxen pollen]

Then your only path is to stop the router for 10 and get a new IP. If it happens again for the third time then IDK what to suggest

[gleaming shell]

yeah thats probably my only option lol

or i could get a static ip but i do not want to pay an extra 10 dollars a month for an ip that i cant guarantee ill get sgs from, and isnt even in my isps ddos protection

^and of course IPQS is likely gonna BS it

[waxen pollen]

yeah that sucks.

[gleaming shell]

yeah its not good lol

[gleaming shell]

why doesn't ipqs just become a paid service only
What's the point of having a free plan if all it does is just throw random scores and give fear to the free users

They even admit they lie about scores on the free plan

So what's the point

[waxen pollen]

Anyone using BW in Scotland? What's your traffic like?

IK of 2 who live in Scotland and says the BW isn't as good and i tend to get far more than they do down here in England

[granite steppe]

dang i got 150mbps download and 80mbps upload in libreshit

[robust creek]

Me sometimes 600/200 with a couple of germany servers

[granite steppe]

germany servers are the best

[solemn widget]

germany 2 is best for me

[robust creek]

oh what

[granite steppe]

great!

[waxen pollen]

My internet connection went off last night, Iost 3/5 of my device jobs. But on the device, Glasswire says sgs is connected, but on the dashboard it's says it's been out 13hrs 👀❓

it's the same of 2 other devices

and salad is degraded. So which is it, SGS is connected or it isn't and why isn't salad designed to reattempt the job after a router reset/outage? Wouldn't it make total sense to have a feature that retries??????? It's not just us cows that miss out of potential revenue, you have an incentive to have those type of features already in your app/backend

@hollow whale

[empty hinge]

got the sgs?

[gleaming shell]

are you the guy who had gone a long time without sgs

[granite steppe]

do you think i got it

absolutely not

i guess sgs is on a long vacation

still on the same boat to find the sgs and get him back to work!

[livid edge]

I havent had Sgs in over a month. Used to get it like 10 min after starting salad. Even if it was only a few cents a day

[solemn widget]

I have noticed if I have the static ip then I only got the 2 gateway available but on the normal ip I only gets 1 is the 1 getaway static ip only ?

[misty furnace]

nah it's just weird sometimes

[empty hinge]

yesss

9 months no

what am i gonna get now baby sgs or something🤣

[empty hinge]

hell noo

[empty hinge]

[misty furnace]

nah that's wild

[empty hinge]

umm my bad

[hollow whale]

I'd send a ticket to support and see if they can figure out whether SGS is still connected or not. Occasionally there is miscommunication between the front end and back end

[waxen pollen]

I've already restarted the devices, all have reconnected with SGS.

Just don't get why salad doesn't reattempt to connect the device after an internet disconnection. Makes no sense why it's not baked into salad already.

We're both losing out on revenue, due to the devices failing to reconnect

Or does salad not care about the BW side as much as the container side? As i rarely, if ever see any patch notes about the BW side of Salad

Granted that could be because the BW side is pretty built out already and that would be great. But you don't have auto reconnect for BW like you do for containers??

Makes no sense to me.

Would it even be all that much hassle to get that built into salad?

[misty furnace]

I think sgs-client.exe was last compiled in 2022

it's old

[gleaming shell]

Well there's someone suffering with you now lol

Salad really doesn't seem to like my new isp

[waxen pollen]

Yikes. When was it even last looked at for upgrade?

Should never rest on your laurels.

[gleaming shell]

the app doesn't even recognize when SGS client errors out lol
You can block the gateway in the firewall and salad will still continue to run it, no degraded message

[waxen pollen]

So has Salad just lost interest in BW? They don't actively upgrade it and the infrastructure (<< Supposedly too) and they do not actively look for BW clients. The heck Salad

[waxen pollen]

Pretty sure Microsoft would have an issue with that

Thats pretty bad

Bypassing firewall rules 👀

[misty furnace]

they don't bypass firewall. it just runs and never connects because it's blocked

[waxen pollen]

Ohh i see

[gleaming shell]

I probs worded it terrible whoops

But yeah, SGS client just errors out and fails to connect

[granite steppe]

what if sgs is blocked in firewall?

[gleaming shell]

And salad doesn't do any thing about it

[gleaming shell]

It'll just error out

[waxen pollen]

Stays with the same firewall blocks gateway regardless of connecting or not. Yeah the hell Salad. Update BW

[granite steppe]

i know that the spelling is wrong

[gleaming shell]

gey

[granite steppe]

-.-

[hollow whale]

The Bandwidth side of Salad is much smaller, yes - but still an important and vital part of the business. It's also quite stable, and less complex - so the old adage goes "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." But thank you for the suggestion, and noting of how it impacted you. I can take this to the SGS team and see if it's possible to implement what you're talking about.

[hollow whale]

You may or may not be surprised, but even very simple features can be much more complex to implement than one anticipates - or costly/timely.

[granite steppe]

replace the e with a

[gleaming shell]

hmmmmmm

[misty furnace]

it would be interesting to have sgs support on Linux, even if it's just run with WinE. It works already, but doesn't have a workload manager to authorize it and automatically start it

[granite steppe]

-.- ??

[granite steppe]

[gleaming shell]

maybe my ISP themselves are running sgs on all the ips theyre giving out

[granite steppe]

[gleaming shell]

oh well, maybe my sgs client will start in 67 months 41 weeks on a Saturday 9am

[granite steppe]

interesting

[waxen pollen]

That would be great. Only took me years of complaining about it LMAO

[granite steppe]

are u a murderer?

[gleaming shell]

aren't we all

[granite steppe]

[granite steppe]

how?

[gleaming shell]

it was unserious message lol

idk

[granite steppe]

who is a monke tho

[gleaming shell]

idk someone changed my name a while back

People wanted to become monke if I remember

And mods started changing people's name

[granite steppe]

are u femboy

[gleaming shell]

no

[granite steppe]

ur pfp?

[gleaming shell]

Originated from some mukbanger, I forgot who it was

[waxen pollen]

I do get that (Though i'm no coding dev either) But simply from a revenue potentual, it boggels my mind why it wouldn't put it like it was for containers. We (The cows) can often get micro internet disconnections or router updates within a year. So it does add up.

We should also get a set amount of time to reconnect before losing the job. A few mins at most. So we do not lose the lvl of traffic you do when you lose connection. It takes TIME to get back up to the lvl of data transfer that it was at.

Think thats only fair as containers also get that privilege.

[gleaming shell]

Someone sent me the image, set it as my pfp and I never changed it since

[granite steppe]

see my last 3rd msg

[gleaming shell]

bro editeded💀

[waxen pollen]

[gleaming shell]

sgs client in coma for mre than 6months and trying to wake him up discussion

[gleaming shell]

my SGS client either always starts up instantly or is in a coma

Currently in the coma phase

[granite steppe]

same

[waxen pollen]

haha sorry. It was more a joke.

Though i hope you read the response i replied to you.

Think the grace period is also something that should be brought up too. 🙂

@gleaming shell do you use honeygain mode or jumptask mode?

[granite steppe]

@gleaming shell

[granite steppe]

[granite steppe]

wow

[serene falcon]

1gb a day🧐🤯

Highest I got is like 400mb in a day

[granite steppe]

demand is increased

first time i too got 1gb

interesting

[gleaming shell]

i dont use jumptask mode

[robust creek]

Offtopic

[robust creek]

Also enjoy your ip being destroyed

[granite steppe]

my ip is already destroyed

the first time my isp changed

the next second i saw my ip score

and its was absolute destroyed asf

[serene falcon]

Same here 🥲

The whole ip pool is fked no matter how many times I reset my ip

[granite steppe]

brother im facing the same issue

[gleaming shell]

same here

[robust creek]

Me with static ip

[gleaming shell]

society if ipissqualityscore never existed

^or at least the free plan, given the paid plans don't lie about scores and scare the user thinking their brand new IP is already ducked

[empty hinge]

.wait honey gains works with content delivery on demn

[granite steppe]

yeah

i guess so

[granite steppe]

@chat revival

[robust creek]

content delivery is a scam, they can use unlimited data and pay you almost nothing

[upbeat shuttle]

salad:

[robust creek]

Salad at least pays you per GB

Content delivery no

[upbeat shuttle]

oh they just pay based on time?
