Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[serene falcon]

Game is totally doff now

[granite steppe]

straight to the point

[serene falcon]

Hahahaha

[serene falcon]

Hm

[granite steppe]

is this pfp good?

[serene falcon]

Yeah cool

[granite steppe]

keep it or not?

[serene falcon]

Keep it

[granite steppe]

looks like she is sitting on a skateboard

[serene falcon]

Yeah

Jett airlines

On skateboard

[granite steppe]

...

thanks buddy

[hushed flame]

Why does this keep happening 🫩

[misty furnace]

holy hdr

[granite steppe]

its sgs

bandwidth sharing app

or program

by salad

[misty furnace]

You might need to whitelist *.salad.com in netlimiter. I see you have the blocker enabled, which might be blocking the connections (the red highlights)

idk tho, never used netlimiter

(no clue what the red highlight actually means... google isn't helping)

[near karma]

i switched broadband providers and am now getting NO bandwidth sharing jobs

[gleaming shell]

is sgs client atleast starting up?

[misty furnace]

it can take some time after changing ip addresses, especially if you don't have any reputation on the IP yet

[gleaming shell]

^that too

[near karma]

although my antivirus might have messed something up too

since i had to resinstall it because my plan cancelled

yeah no sgs-client

[gleaming shell]

well, except for my second isp i got since for some reason i got sgs client to start within minutes

[misty furnace]

it can sometimes just be a few hours, sometimes a few weeks or even months

[near karma]

i dont think it would be an ip problem

since its dynamic ip anyway

[misty furnace]

it may not be an ip issue, but you did change providers which means you have a different ip pool

[near karma]

how do i get sgs-client to try and launch

[misty furnace]

patience and a bit of luck

[near karma]

do i close salad and re open

[misty furnace]

likely won't help, just keep chopping regularly and Salad should assign it if they deem your device a good candidate

[gleaming shell]

in some really bad cases, over a year

[near karma]

dawg

where is sgs-client

stored

file location

ive had this issue before where my antivirus just deletes it

le tme check that its even on my pc

[misty furnace]

running it manually won't help you. if your device is not authorized for the workload, it will get little to no traffic

[near karma]

not trying to run it manually

[misty furnace]

you'll get a degraded error if the antivirus is the issue

it will say the antivirus blocked a workload

[hushed flame]

Thx, even when I unblock it, it still does the same thing. I’ll just restart my wifi

[hushed flame]

Yh that did nothing

[hushed flame]

Works perfectly fine with rose gateway but not chrysanthemum gateway 🫩

[granite steppe]

finally got a cpu container

no sgs yet

[granite steppe]

i am using salad from 2022

and when my first isp ip's were clean

and even after 2 years of usage

it stayed clean

and i used salad , honeygain , grass apps

and still ppl says these apps bomb ur ip specially honeygain but i havent faced this problem yet

[upbeat shuttle]

same lol

been using bandwidth sharing since it released in the uk, no issues

[granite steppe]

ye i faced no issues

used to earn $2/day in the golden days/era

[safe loom]

no issues in aus :D

[jovial fiber]

that's not because you don't have issues that they don't exist :p

[jovial fiber]

with Honeygain I had malicious traffic passing through so definitely not that well controlled

[safe loom]

no one's declining that they have reported issues from their ISP, we just have to wait for Salad to invvestigate if this is infact linked

[granite steppe]

that was not the case with me ^^

[jovial fiber]

I kinda lost confidence, because it was a serious issue and they took months to somewhat fix it even though there was still random occurrence of it a year later

[granite steppe]

what malicious traffic are you talking about?

can you give me an ex. ?

[safe loom]

honeygain and grass and similar apps have little to no KYC and just let people rent out the proxy

in grass's case they're a crypto rugpull funded by their previous scheme of selling botnet's

[granite steppe]

what do you mean i don't understand

[safe loom]

anyone can pay honeygain or grass to do malicious things with their ips

like scraping, denial of service and other attacks

thats what affects ip rep

[granite steppe]

hmm

interesting

knowledge

didn't knew that before

[safe loom]

grass's product company is called Wynd Network, years back when the grass developers were advertising here i looked into their medias and saw Wynd Network following and retweeting from some malicious crypto based botnet rental service

and look at grass now

not a released product, just a poor token that's been rugpulled

[granite steppe]

hmm

what if my ip is already bombed and cgnat?

i started using salad in 2022 or earlier i don't know but the thing was at that time my ip score was sometimes 0 and sometimes 28 the fact is i was using 2 apps mainly Salad and Honeygain and my story was different my ip didnt got bombed up by these apps in 2024 i started using grass and it didnt even bombed my ip

i was lucky or smth idk

but my ip didnt got bombed

from these apps

i even used pawns app with that isp 1 - 2 months

thats also known as ip bomber

[safe loom]

ip rep doesn't really mean anything unless you're blacklisted from websites and get warnings from your ISP about malicious activity

[granite steppe]

i know that

[jovial fiber]

I don't really want to say it as it can be used for malicious purposes (range is limited but still not nice) and is not patched by ISPs

[safe loom]

for instance if your local pc timezone is set different than the timezone your geo-ip should be in you lose like 5 points

[granite steppe]

i didnt understand

@safe loom

^^

wtf

[safe loom]

like your pc windows time vs the expected timezone from your area

likke daylight savings

being a different time than the geo-ip location would affect your ip rep

[granite steppe]

[safe loom]

which is just silly

[granite steppe]

tru

that just doesn't make any sense

[robust creek]

what the hell? salad doing such damage is something new to me honestly, this app seemed the safest one out there in my end

[gleaming shell]

never experience anything like that but at the same time us bandwidth has been a desert for the past like almost half a year and i cant even get sgs anymore

but interesting to see regardless

[serene falcon]

@gleaming shell hey

[gleaming shell]

e

[serene falcon]

I just tested new thing called (ppoe connection)

[gleaming shell]

oh ive heard of that before

i dont know much about it tho

[serene falcon]

I connected my laptop on ppoe it has different ip than all other of my devices and also differ from router static ip

[gleaming shell]

interesting

[serene falcon]

It mean I can use honeygain and all other apps on ppoe and it will not harm my main router public ip

As that was what gpt said

[gleaming shell]

my isp feels like it doesnt evne have enough ips lmao

also all the ips in this isp are trash

[serene falcon]

Lol

[gleaming shell]

so i run all the apps because its trashed up already nothing else to lose

[serene falcon]

Yeah static would have been better but demand

One more question

Day before yesterday I had sgsclient IN folder, then one new folder name sgs-IN-C came up

From that day I haven't got bandwidth job proper

Little spikes only

0.01max earning for few minutes

[gleaming shell]

that means your sgs is connected to a different gateway

some gateways are better than others

if you get dont get any earnings fomr that gateway or very little earnings, that might be what is known as a "bad gateway"

basically theres bad demand on that gateway

unfortunately salad doesnt have an option to let users choose a preferred gateway so the only way is to just stop salad and start it

might take some trial and error

[serene falcon]

You mean saladbowl service

😢

That suck man

[gleaming shell]

nah you just have to pause salad

no need to restart saladbowl

[serene falcon]

The day I upgraded to 200mbps and this gateway

[gleaming shell]

bruh 😭

you should still be able to get the original gateway

the non-bad one

[serene falcon]

Can't I just block this gateway

From my network so it can't connect to this shtt gateway

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately the salad app is kinda dumb and you cant block the gateway in the firewall :(
salad will still continue to connect to that gateway except all it does is error out

from my experience you could try ending sgs client in task manager

then wait until sgs starts again with the good gateway

[serene falcon]

Sgs client boots up instant but naa the gateway suck

[gleaming shell]

and once it starts with the good gateway then you can click retry on the degraded error (itll still continue running)

[gleaming shell]

yeah some gateways are unprofitably terrible and have literally no reason to exist (10 of the us gateways) but salad still gives them out for everyone

[serene falcon]

This folder was downloaded whn I upgarded to 200mbps

With -In-C

Earlier the folder was only ending -IN

[gleaming shell]

yeah its kind of a gamble

[serene falcon]

I just delted that folder

Maybe it will switch now

🥺

The gateway only switch when we restart or reconnect?

[gleaming shell]

in my experience the gateway is guaranteed to swith when you kill sgs client in task manager
but its kind of luck based if you restart salad

the gateway can occasionally switch after a while of normal running

but it only happens once in a long time

[serene falcon]

I tried reseting router and reinstalled salad same gateway

How long does it take in switch

[gleaming shell]

hmmm

[gleaming shell]

It's usually random

Have you tried ending SGS client in task manager?

It should start with a different gateway other than that dead gateway

May take a few minutes

I think it uses the same logic as miners, if you kill a miner it'll use a fallback one

[granite steppe]

just block the gateway u don't want

[serene falcon]

How

?

[granite steppe]

i don't know

just put the gateway ip in firewall and block it

@gleaming shell hey

[west kraken]

Is disabling and enabling BW sharing (video streaming enough) ? I have a container running

Nevermind I guess it has same effect as ending sgs in task manager, hadn't read the later comments yet

[granite steppe]

i don't think so

[granite steppe]

ip score sites are pure scams

some sites says " sir your ip is clean " and then some sites says " ur ip is fked up " i mean wtf who to trust and who to trust not

and then comes the ip score abuser aka ipshitscore.com which says we will not show ur real ip score if u don't buy are premium

im broke man
salad add donate feature

or else this will be my balance for a year or so.....

i got a freaking cpu container that lasted not even a hour

i can't even get a new isp

what if they gave me an more abused ip

my parents will beat my a**

cuz they know i use some apps like salad , hg , ea

my whole ip pool of 100+ ips only have like 20 clean ip or less.......

just if i know the ip abuser's house address i will kill him fs

salad is not even worth running now....

hg and ea are now the king of this era

salad era for bandwidth sharing is ended...

the new era has started

@sgs-client.exe

pls come back to me my love

i love you come back

[gleaming shell]

In my experience, ipqs is the only site that is bs and hates my ip

No other sites show my IP as bad

[robust creek]

earnings are not as high as they were at some point but salad is still the best paying app i have installed rn

[gleaming shell]

Anything but ipissqualityscore

[gleaming shell]

the good old days

[gleaming shell]

Interesting
A while back when I did it, stupid salad still continued to proceed to run that gateway, and all that happened was connection errors

Doesn't really matter anymore since I can't get SGS client on this ISP, all the ips are completely ducked

[jovial fiber]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SaladChefs/comments/1oa3k5o/got_a_netflix_letter_about_30000_failed_login/

another one?? Is salad now selling ip for vpn purposes like said ?

[upbeat shuttle]

huh?

[safe loom]

this is ai

[upbeat shuttle]

well ofc

[safe loom]

is this just some defamation attempt or smth 😭

[jovial fiber]

it's weird two posts in 2 days

[upbeat shuttle]

idk, i'm leaving it up to someone higher up to give an official response

[safe loom]

the other one seems legitimate

if you're experiencing this you'd think you would contact support and write the post yourself

[upbeat shuttle]

i'd check out their account but they marked it as nsfw, and my oppressive dictatorship decided grown ass adults shouldn't be allowed to access nsfw content

[jovial fiber]

their account seems legitimate but their last post was 2 years ago then there is only one post yesterday

[west kraken]

It does very much look like AI

[reef linden]

bruh what

[west kraken]

The image in the other post 2 days ago uses text copied and modified from here https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/8297q8/my_isp_just_sent_me_this_email_regarding/

posted 8 years ago

[west kraken]

so looks very much like this is the case IMO

[safe loom]

WILD

though it's probably just the same email they send to everyone

i trust the post from a few days ago that it's legitimate and needs to be looked into

but this recent one sounds illegitimate or highly exaggerated

[west kraken]

Not impossible but they didn't even bother changing the port number from the 8 year old post. Also the date range in the image posted to SaladChefs runs in reverse

[misty furnace]

that is curious. thanks for pointing it out

the port wouldn't be different though, since TCP 443 is just https

[safe loom]

^

[near karma]

is sgs-client supposed to be somewhere in the salad directory

[safe loom]

when the widget downloads the client you'll see it in a folder under C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads

[near karma]

yeah there is no workloads folder

actually

wait

nah there is

no sgs-client though

only thing related to bandwidth sharding is librespeed-cli.exe

[robust creek]

Eh??

[silk wraith]

It will be added if/when you get a BW workload.

[gleaming shell]

bam 100 fraud score on lowest strictness setting

gotta love to see this

(yes ik im running like 950 different apps, but theres nothing left to lose anyways)

[serene falcon]

i fked up my static ip

[gleaming shell]

what did you do 😭

[serene falcon]

i activated pppoe opton and now my ip chnages avrytime and ip is also bad reputation,can't get sgs on these ip's.fk my isp no solution from last 24 hours

[gleaming shell]

or did ipqs just throw a dice

oh

[serene falcon]

just calls froms there side

yeah

ip score 88 on my current ip

[gleaming shell]

rip

are you still able to get sgs?

[serene falcon]

🥺

naa

pppoe option fked up

[gleaming shell]

for whatever reason i could still get sgs instantly despite having a maxed out fraud score on my old isp

(salad really, really liked my old isp

[serene falcon]

i can't

only static help too get sgs

[gleaming shell]

ohh rip

[serene falcon]

i thretened them hehee

to cut connection

now they saying no sir we will get in resolved in 4 hours

[gleaming shell]

💀

lmao roblox marked as 75 fraud score and vpn

[serene falcon]

same here on this ip 88 fraud activity detected

[gleaming shell]

ipqs for some reason always shows the same set of numbers

its always either 0, 28, 30, 60, 75, 88, 89, 90, or 100 😭

might be different

but either way all it does is randomize and choose one of the set of same numbers

[serene falcon]

yeah

so i am just playing valorant until they solve this issue ; )

[gleaming shell]

ok there are a good amount of clean ips in my ip range, but all of them ive gotten so far are just ducked up instantly

[gleaming shell]

ok nevermind ive been typing the ips in with a +1 increase every time and all of them are 100 fraud score in my area

ok some of them are still clean is with 0 fraud score, but a LOT of them are just pinned at 100

if i wanna get a good ip id have to pray and gamble really hard

oh look who it is again

[granite steppe]

@gleaming shell

hey are u still getting sgs

or ur problem is gailbraith

im getting cpu containers that arent even lasting 30min

damn

salad rly hates me now

[gleaming shell]

nope, salad still hates my isp, and all the ips in my ip block are ducked

and even if i were to get sgs, yes i would be infested by the dead galbraith gateways

[gleaming shell]

i have a cpu container that has lasted over 24h now

super rare

its only 10 cents per day but atleast its lasting

[granite steppe]

is there any way in firewall to check the gateways arent blocked?

[gleaming shell]

If you can ping the gateways, it should be fine

[granite steppe]

waht do u mean

[gleaming shell]

Like, using powershell

[granite steppe]

tell me how to do IT

pls sir

[gleaming shell]

You can do "ping sgs-[name]-gateway.salad.com"

name being the gateway name

[granite steppe]

i have done it afaik

[gleaming shell]

It shouldn't block sgs gateways I don't think

[granite steppe]

tell me the command

that i can copy paste

in powershell or cmd

[gleaming shell]

💀

[granite steppe]

ima lazy

[gleaming shell]

Some sec I'm finding some random indian gateway

[granite steppe]

athelas

or any good gateway

[gleaming shell]

ping sgs-athelas-gateway.salad.com

Copy and paste that into powershell

Normally it shouldn't be blocked

[granite steppe]

im getting reply

[gleaming shell]

Even then salad isn't smart enough to recognize it

[gleaming shell]

It's not blocked then

Maybe salad just hates you

(same here)

[granite steppe]

yea

[serene falcon]

I got static ip back

But still that shit gateway

Again

Sga booted up

[near kraken]

theres no more badnwidth support for phillippines right

or

[robust creek]

Indians being happy having static ip but people from other countries disagree 😅

[granite steppe]

hmm

[granite steppe]

bro violated sgs

[near karma]

dawg why have i not gotten a single bw job

i got 500mbps down + up

do i NEED to have gpu + cpu enabled? cause i used to only use bw sharing and i'd be getting like 30 cents a day with 500 down 70 up

[upbeat shuttle]

you can use bandwidth sharing without cpu/gpu enabled just fine

[granite steppe]

nakama's

@gleaming shell can it be honeygain that is not letting me get sgs

[gleaming shell]

it could be

Though it screws your ip, chances that you don't even get SGS at all are low

[gleaming shell]

idk, my last ISP my IP was completely bombed and I had like 6 different apps running

Yet I still got SGS instantly, most of the time it started before LibreSpeed even finished testing

really a shame whoever idiot managed the pricing thought it was a good moral idea to charge their customers 135 dollars per month for 500mbps cgnat

Otherwise I would've still stayed on that isp

[west kraken]

Is it possibe to limit sgs badwidth usage to like 90% of connections speed (or some numeric value)? I'm starting to see correlation between sgs maxing out connection and container jobs getting canceled with error 137 (possibly/likely not meeting customer requirements)

[robust creek]

you could use net limiter on windows until the free trial finishes, then idk

https://www.netlimiter.com/

[west kraken]

thx, I'll try

[solemn widget]

Sgs client using the bandwidth but not giving anything since 2 hour what should be the problem.

[serene falcon]

From India?

Same here

[solemn widget]

Yes

[serene falcon]

Using 2 to4mbps but no pay

[solemn widget]

Yes for me it's taking over 30 mbps but not giving a penny

[serene falcon]

Internet plan

Mine 200mbps

[solemn widget]

400 mbps

[serene falcon]

Nice I just restarted let's see what happen

[solemn widget]

Which gateway you get henna or athelas

[granite steppe]

which isp

and speed plan ?

probably airtel

[solemn widget]

Alliance

[serene falcon]

[granite steppe]

what's ur ip score

is it a static ip

[solemn widget]

Nice I only get henna

[solemn widget]

[serene falcon]

Mine 0score

[solemn widget]

Cpu on

[granite steppe]

static ip

[solemn widget]

Nah

[granite steppe]

interesting

same fraud score but i aint gettin a single sgs

[serene falcon]

My sgs only work with static ip

[solemn widget]

Which state

[granite steppe]

example of being poor

[granite steppe]

New Delhi

[serene falcon]

@solemn widget how much up and down on ndm and server

[granite steppe]

if he is getting sgs but not earning that means he must be getting 10+ mbps in ndm

Logic 🧠

[solemn widget]

Near 270 download and less than 250 upload

[granite steppe]

ayo damn

[serene falcon]

Server

[granite steppe]

g3 probably

[serene falcon]

I get nurberg Germany mostly

[granite steppe]

that's the best

[granite steppe]

first violated sgs and now my boy germany

[serene falcon]

Down speed 170mbps and up 80mbps

[granite steppe]

$10.52 💵

[solemn widget]

Germany 2'3 and prague

[serene falcon]

I don't know why such low upload

Prague yeah sometime

[granite steppe]

Prague yeah do people still get that server

never got it after 2024

[solemn widget]

Yes mostly

[granite steppe]

Czench Republic

nice man

[granite steppe]

ill try shutting off my router for a few mins...

bye

[solemn widget]

My ip doesn't change if restart the router

But it's not static it's cgnat

[serene falcon]

That mean u have static ip

I pay extra for that

[solemn widget]

Nah bro to get static I have to pay 3500 +gst for a year

[serene falcon]

I pay 299+gst monthly

[solemn widget]

On monthly basis it is good

My isp doesn't give on monthly basis

[serene falcon]

I am gonna complain about these speeds

Airtel 🤬

[solemn widget]

Yeah you should

[serene falcon]

They take it serious only if you threat them to cut connection

😂

Just go to store and say I wanna cut connection they ask why will help you solve the issue

And instant solution ezz

[safe loom]

try not to post your public IP in discord servers

[serene falcon]

Oh yeah

time to get some 🍿

[waxen pollen]

Seems like a targeted attack on salad to me. Won't provide logs/account email and the like (You know, the normal things that would be asked for to verify claims) What a joke

Guess sit back and watch

Also, i'm no Salad fan boy, i'll call out Salad just like i did with Earnapp for any bull. (Those that remember my username from Earnapps discord server before i was banned will know i'm no fan boy lmao, i'll call things i see as wrong out, even if i like the app)

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah that's what it's looking like to me rn too

[waxen pollen]

If they cannot provide the justifiable requested info, then that's what's it likely is.

and the fact they have been asked multiple times and still haven't. I mean, common, your being very obvious about it to me.

[robust creek]

Earnapp became scammy because they can use unlimited traffic and pay you the same

[waxen pollen]

Earnapp became scummy long before that though.

[robust creek]

Its getting worse and worse with time thats for sure

I see earnapp in 1 ip sometimes uses less than 1gb in a day, sometimes 7-8gb a day

The pay is the same, 0,17$

[waxen pollen]

I remember them limiting each device to 200MBs a day. Would takes half a year to cash out. They are an utter joke and i refuse to use them again.

Correction, id only ever use them again is salad tanked and i still had time remaining on my broadband package and i used all the scummy ones to help pay the pack off.

Hopefully that never happens 😅

[granite steppe]

woah

mine has used 23gb in a month

for $10 is good

[waxen pollen]

Used to be $0.50 per GB, before that $1 per GB, the highest i heard was $5 per GB. But that was when they first started

[robust creek]

Traffic increased a lot in the last 3 days, yesterday they used 6gb

[robust creek]

5$ per gb was just to attract users, it was not sustainable for them

[waxen pollen]

When they created their piggy bank app, (You know, the one they turned Earnapp into - Dump as much traffic down your throat as they like and pay you pittance for it) they were sending Earnapp traffic to their piggy bank app so Earnapps traffic would tank.

[waxen pollen]

ohh ofc

[robust creek]

Anyone else running earnapp on linux? I've noticed that the more traffic there is, the more ram the app uses

[waxen pollen]

was at $2 per GB when i first started using them

[robust creek]

And the ram never stops being used even after the traffic dies, you need to restart the device

I think it's a bug

But no one is reporting

[robust creek]

2022(?)

[waxen pollen]

I'm sure they are if it's a widespread bug.

[waxen pollen]

something like that. Maybe a bit earlier then that. Don't really recall

[robust creek]

I started using in 2021

[waxen pollen]

think i recall your username. Moaned a lot lol

[robust creek]

I felt the 5$ per gb and 2gb a day traffic

[robust creek]

Yes because there was a moment where they wasn't calculating the traffic properly

2gb being used but counted only 600mb

Is def a problem

[waxen pollen]

ohh don't blame you

Id call their BS out, which often kicked up a firestorm witin the discord against them.

[robust creek]

Then back when earnapp+ was a thing, the hours wasn't being calculates properly, sometimes even going backwards

[robust creek]

Simetimes inside of their discord server there are people complaining but vita either bans them or finds excuses to be in the right, always

[waxen pollen]

Yeah sounds like me lol Id call their scummy, possibly even illegal actions out and call Vita's BS out, he became a d*ck with power.

[robust creek]

Fun fact, he works for bright data because of me

[waxen pollen]

He banned me once and i got it removed after complaining about his actions. Which were super unprofessional. Got banned a few months later after i realised Earnapp wasn't going to change to be fair on us.

[waxen pollen]

So we have you to blame for it then i hear you saying??

[robust creek]

Before, he was a nice guy, talking in dms making friends on discord servers with passive income users, we knew secrets of each others etc, i sent an email to bright data talking about vita, they wanted to make a call with him and.. he got hired.. didn't expected

[waxen pollen]

Sorry i should have said butted heads with Vita a lot LOL

[robust creek]

I didn't knew he would become an ąŝs

[waxen pollen]

Well all the hate to you then lol

[waxen pollen]

that is a very fair point. Ill let you off with a warning

[robust creek]

I don't exactly remember why i mentioned them about vita, but was not because i wantes him to get hired, i got nothing in return, not even a thank

[misty furnace]

do you mean throughput or the total bandwidth used over time?

[robust creek]

Total, down and up

[misty furnace]

so kinda like a memory leak?

[robust creek]

Oh wait wait i didn't read properly what you meant

The app uses more and more ram overtime, when there is more traffic, the increase of use is faster

[misty furnace]

sounds like logging in RAM

[robust creek]

Not always, sometimes does this and sometimes no

[misty furnace]

like retransmissions, error logging, debug

[robust creek]

They should not do it, because they made crash my minipc multiple times because of this issue

[misty furnace]

set up a cron to restart the app daily

[robust creek]

Not the app, the device itself

If you do earnapp stop-earnapp start, the ram doesn't stop being used

[misty furnace]

oh interesting

[robust creek]

And i see it's earnapp itself using that ram, nothing else, i've seen it with a program

[misty furnace]

nightly 4AM reboot

[waxen pollen]

If it's anything like Salad ||(Not that i remember though)|| it may take days to ram up BW traffic..................... Why Salad, just why!! ||Yeah that was a jab at Salad 🙄lol||

[robust creek]

the last time i rebooted the minipc earnapp was using 800mb of ram btw

should use not more than 50mb

[granite steppe]

woah

[granite steppe]

For me earnapp has max used 200mb of ram afaik

[robust creek]

keep it running for more days, especially on high traffic ones, never reboot your device for some time and you will see it

check your swap too, sometimes i see it goes to swap too

[granite steppe]

umm i havent shut down my laptop

its been 3 days

[robust creek]

3 days is not much

also, i'm talking about linux of course

[granite steppe]

oh

u use linux?

[robust creek]

yes

[granite steppe]

interesting

[robust creek]

this issue is on linux

[granite steppe]

oh didnt knew

well why did u switch to linux?

[robust creek]

me and my friends are having the same issue but no one other than us seem talking about it and i don't know why XD

[robust creek]

no no, i use earnapp there but my main pc is win10

[granite steppe]

u have 2 pcs

gotcha

[robust creek]

the linux one is minipc

[granite steppe]

and window's one is a beast>

?

[robust creek]

1 hour ago earnapp was using 126mb, now is using 128mb, keeps increase slowly still

[granite steppe]

omg i haven't earn more than this in my entire life

[granite steppe]

report the issue in earnapp server

[granite steppe]

memoria?

damn 64gb ram

[robust creek]

ram

[granite steppe]

damn

rtx 3070

and i7-12700k

i have 8gb ram gtx 1650 and i5-9300h laptop

pain

[robust creek]

i tried to give those resources to salad a year ago, they was paying me 2$ a day, not worth as my pc was producing so much noise and heat, the discomfort was not worth the money

[granite steppe]

woah the old good golden days

i used to earn $2/day just by bw sharing

[robust creek]

me too

2$ a day only bw is wow

2$ a day for using your resources is 🤢 🖕

[granite steppe]

thats wild

good golden days only bw

[robust creek]

my room was 4C° hotter because of salad, not good, worse than a heater

[granite steppe]

yep

[granite steppe]

hey fellas

good morning

[robust creek]

This chat is dead

[serene falcon]

[pallid pawn]

Hello

Im running jobs on my 3090s but neither of them is making $

[waxen pollen]

wrong chat 🙃 #community-support

[robust creek]

uhm salad is using my bandwidth but is not giving me a single penny.. does anyone else have this same issue?

[upbeat shuttle]

sgs client is?

[robust creek]

yes

[upbeat shuttle]

oh it could maybe be the issue that's going on

with earnings not showing up

[robust creek]

lost?

[upbeat shuttle]

I don't know for sure, but the last time this happened, nobody lost their earnings, it just came out to a big spike once the issue was fixed

Jared says in #community-support that it's a visual issue

[robust creek]

ok

[upbeat shuttle]

maybe it's just the earnings graph that's bugged, keep an eye on your current balance and see if it goes up over the next short while

[robust creek]

kk

[civic fern]

Payout spike!

[waxen pollen]

Is Scotland BW the same as England's? or is traffic different for each?

[robust creek]

its still uk so the same

[granite steppe]

@serene falcon im banned from valo for 6 days 😭

for just being afk for 1 whole ranked match

i mean i closed the game due to some imp work

[serene falcon]

Us moment happens alot with me too😅🥲

[granite steppe]

Ya bro

148hrs ban

[tidal bough]

wtf salad just decided to switch gateways for no reason

[upbeat shuttle]

yupp

i LOVE when that happens

they should really just aggregate all the network traffic into one gateway

[robust creek]

I don't have this issue because in italy there is only 1 active gateway 😆

[gleaming shell]

this

[gleaming shell]

that happened on june for me, and i never seen any bandwidth earnings ever since

[gleaming shell]

one good gateway is better than 10 bad gateways

[tidal bough]

and then a fucking power outage happened bru what is my luck

[robust creek]

Ups power

[granite steppe]

exits

[waxen pollen]

OMDays, been trying to get the right 2 gateways for my devices, got one of them, but the other will not go to any other than 2 of 5 gateways. One's that have no traffic 😭

Really wish there was only one gateway per region or allow us to pick a gateway per device.

[gleaming shell]

Literally the US experience 😭

Wonder if there's any limitations to combining all the gateways into one gateway

Maybe have it located in the middle of the country

[waxen pollen]

Something needs to be done, it's a joke.

[gleaming shell]

or at least have a system where it prioritizes gateways with highest demand, then lower and lower

Instead of just giving a random gateway

blocking in firewall just does nothing but cause errors

[serene falcon]

@gleaming shell after long time I am here

I just upgraded my plan to 1gbps earning max 0.15per hour in peak

Average earning about 0.40 per day

From only bandwidth

[visual grail]

I was gone for like idk a few weeks

Small question

Do the galbraith brothers still haunt you bro?
@gleaming shell

[serene falcon]

U also do bw

[granite steppe]

1gbps ?

damn

ur rich

[visual grail]

1gbps

In my country, we have 200mbps max 💔

[granite steppe]

💔

in my country we have 1gbps but i cant afford

[serene falcon]

And fun part it's airtel

🥲

I just bought it for 1 moth to check max I can earn from bandwidth and what is avg mbps used.

[gleaming shell]

Ohh nice

[gleaming shell]

Even worse now
I can't even get sgs client to even start
This ISP sucks balls

[serene falcon]

Yeah I pay highest to in my country to get sgs but it's worth it😁

[gleaming shell]

they should've mentioned on the fine print that literally every IP is crap and ducked up by ipqs

[serene falcon]

Does crypto mining on gpu affects bw?

[gleaming shell]

It doesnt

[serene falcon]

And does bw affets my cpu container

[gleaming shell]

also doesn't

[serene falcon]

Because from last few days downloading job and then back to finding job

Loops all day

Manytimes

[gleaming shell]

hmm

[serene falcon]

From almost a month I haven't got proper container

Now from few days it's even worse

[gleaming shell]

Bandwidth sharing is a completely separate process so it shouldn't choke anything out as far as I know

[serene falcon]

U remeber

The dead gateway

I mentioned about

Is now earning super bro

[gleaming shell]

Yeah

Nice

That never happens in the us

[serene falcon]

What is up with us man

😢

[gleaming shell]

It's been a desert for the past almost half year

[serene falcon]

That really suck man

Haven't salad done anything

[gleaming shell]

Unfortunately not yet

[serene falcon]

Earlier in golden times how much were you earning

Probably dollar an hour😁

[gleaming shell]

Like over a dollar per day

But those times are long gone

[serene falcon]

I am earning 0.40

[frosty blade]

Hello, Salad states that BW is available in Lithuania, but cannot see button under performance allowing me to share it. I have 1gbit up/down. No limits for data

[upbeat shuttle]

It's possible that Salad mis-determined your IP's location. You could check the links in this message ^^ to see if your IP is recognised as being in Lithuania.
If those websites see it as being in Lithuania, then that likely means Lithuania is no longer a supported country for Bandwidth Sharing :(

[granite steppe]

same here 😭

avg $1.3/day

[serene falcon]

I didn't know that india had that much demand

[granite steppe]

my highest ever bw only earnings are $1.9 in a day

[granite steppe]

im running salad from 2023 or 2022

[serene falcon]

Me too

I left for few years

Came back this year in august

After I purchased rx 9060xt

[granite steppe]

my laptop fans are dying

[serene falcon]

🧐

[granite steppe]

cpu one running at 6122rpm and gpu one 5084

my laptop having vibrations

[serene falcon]

Yooooo

Shut it off

It's gonnna launch

[granite steppe]

no

[serene falcon]

Visro laptop😂

[granite steppe]

nope

acer

i restarted my fans and it worked

[serene falcon]

Oh

[granite steppe]

now no more vibrations for a few days

gotta repair my laptop its been 3years since no cleaning etc..

[granite steppe]

ye

my dad shut down my laptop last night

[serene falcon]

I regularly clean my laptop although I don't use it much

Once a year deep clean

[granite steppe]

my laptop works 24/7

for a few days

then 1 night rest and then work again

[serene falcon]

My pc work24/7

No rest only work for my pc. Lol

[granite steppe]

if i do that i donno what will happen to my battery

its wear lvl is already 34%

[serene falcon]

Come to hindi

Admins are gonna pr pissed

☺

[empty hinge]

mate these shitty isp just giving me 100 score ip's

bw is cooked

[granite steppe]

BW IS NOT COOKED UR IP IS COOKED

meow

[visual grail]

LMAO 😭

[visual grail]

💀 We have it, but y'know, they got FUP limit of literally 1000gb 😭

[serene falcon]

It's 3333gb for mr

[granite steppe]

haha

i have no FUP Limit ahahahha

eh

thats a weird reaction

[serene falcon]

Haha

[granite steppe]

its been 5hrs since im playing valorant

and i cant stop

hehe

[civic fern]

what's a FUP limit

[granite steppe]

FUP limit stands for Fair Usage Policy limit, a set of rules implemented by internet service providers (ISPs) to ensure fair and equal access to the network for all customers. It limits the amount of data you can use at high speeds within a given period, like a month. If you exceed this limit, your internet speed will be reduced (throttled) to prevent network congestion

• Google

[civic fern]

i've never even heard of it

[granite steppe]

eh?

[civic fern]

yeah, i could probably download the entirety of the internet and the ISP could be like, eh-

[granite steppe]

ye

ig

[serene falcon]

I found out new thing

Where it shows job status like finding job Or running job, i saw Initializing job first time.

[misty furnace]

yeah, it shows up for a few seconds for every job that starts

[visual grail]

How to make people jealous 101:

[tidal bough]

only mobile plans have a FUP in canada

home internet is unlimited

[granite steppe]

[granite steppe]

how to make ppl jealous 102:

[gleaming shell]

my home internet is unlimited but at the cost of the most crappy ips (ipqs terms) known to mankind

[granite steppe]

Same here

[waxen pollen]

Just got 5Gig unlimited broadband for £80 PCM or $107

[granite steppe]

how to make people jealous 103:

[reef linden]

who's gonna tell bro

[waxen pollen]

How much is static pay? Swear it used to be something like $0.30

[upbeat shuttle]

I think it dropped down further than that again, though I'm not sure

silentmonster probably knows

[waxen pollen]

hmmm, Someone iK has 1.3GBs (Up/Down) and is only getting $0.43

Wonder if they have reduced rates, though i would have thought they would have made an announcement about it

[upbeat shuttle]

bandwidth sharing is unfortunately a much lower priority in pretty much every way than containers :(

i think i recall they said in a stream that bandwidth sharing is a much smaller market for salad than containers are

[craggy bronze]

Ya know, been wondering what those random hill spikes were, now i know

Also my amd rig (green) got something good this morning

[safe loom]

there is no static pay

this is just demand

[waxen pollen]

For the US, not for the UK

[safe loom]

at all

[waxen pollen]

The UK gets static pay and has done for years.

[safe loom]

it's not static pay though, that is traffic

[waxen pollen]

$0.30pd or $0.03ph isn't active BW work. It's static pay.

static pay is work salad does (Not Salads clients) that we get paid for.

Or least, thats my understanding after seeing it being spoken about over the years by Salad staff

But maybe @hollow whale can enlighten us though ☝️

I have 5 devices setup on each IP i have, 2 get active work. 1 may from time to time, get work sometimes but the other 2 never get work and always pay no more than around $0.30 each day and is extremely consistent

[safe loom]

i very much doubt that it is salad paying the user for staying connected

that would be proportionally unprofitable

[frigid reef]

Static pay doesn’t exist I have said this before but no one believes me

[hollow whale]

I'm not 100% sure about this actually, I'd need to ask the SGS manager

[waxen pollen]

I've never seen anyone say static wasn't a thing. Only time i've ever heard other wise was that the US didn't get it. 🤔🤔

[waxen pollen]

Sorry, my bad 😅

I read that it was salad back end stuff we got paid a static rate for. Never been corrected, never seen any of the staff say otherwise till now and i've been in the discord for years at this point.

[waxen pollen]

Ohh yeah

Wish all gateways were aggregated where i didn't need so many VMs

[gleaming shell]

ong

this site is balls

It's not even the ips that are bad, it's the stupid site that thinks so

but either way it ultimately means these IPs aren't desirable due to that

[visual grail]

Does he know? 😨

[safe loom]

no hworries, as long as you have the correct knowledge now

[upbeat shuttle]

nah

static pay exists

or at least, it existed

ctrl+f -> from:ozua static pay

[waxen pollen]

was never an announcement to say it was taken away. I would have thought there would have been one right? (Though for each region 🤔 )

[safe loom]

you drive a fiat

[granite steppe]

[frigid reef]

I remember being told by staff it wasent real I think it was either armin or Ericka

I remember it being a thing for the container beta

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah something like that existed during the container beta, might've just been a $1/day CPU container that they ran, and ofc we knew so little so couldn't've known.
Anyways we're on about Bandwidth Sharing static pay

[robust creek]

big spyke

after 2 weeks of low traffic and 1 week of completely dead traffic

!

[gleaming shell]

must be nice

i miss the days id earn over a dollar per day from bandwidth alone

used like 300gb in a day

now i cant even get sgs to start

my old isp sucked but i still miss it in a way

[robust creek]

doesn't stop

[gleaming shell]

just wished salad liked my current isp the way it did with my old isp

[robust creek]

does isp really matter?

i have a pretty unknown and niche isp running salad

[gleaming shell]

well your ip does
but the thing is all the IPs on my new isp suck balls

back when i had my old isp, I got sgs client to instantly start within minutes of getting the new internet set up. And sgs client would frequently start so easily it would start ebfore librespeed even finished testing

but with this new isp, i cant get sgs client no matter what

[robust creek]

my ip has 95 score 😅

[gleaming shell]

my old isp had a lot of good ips, but even with the score pinned at 100 i would still get sgs client instantly, even before librespeed finishes testing

with this isp, every single ip is instantly bombed out of the box and no signs of any sgs

this is my third ip with this isp and every single ip so far has been completely crap

and a static ip costs a whole 10 frickin dollars

and not even in their ddos protection

[robust creek]

maybe they don't care about my score because monitoring the traffic i see i'm just being used as traffic forwarder

[gleaming shell]

maybe if us bandwidth becomes worth running again i might consider a static ip, but for now its a hell no

[robust creek]

i'm downloading data from residential ips and sending to salad

[waxen pollen]

that would require demand, which makes no sense for the US. EarnApp and HG US traffic is the highest in the world.

[gleaming shell]

yep

[robust creek]

back in 2021 japan had more traffic than USA on earnapp

7-8 gb a day

all paid good

[waxen pollen]

ahhhhh the good ol days when i made $250K in a year

Same i spent most of it on more IPs

to then get them all banned 😡😡

[robust creek]

salad traffic 📉 now

[waxen pollen]

Thats not bad for BW. See that here in the UK. Though it's always up and downs with peeks and lows

[gleaming shell]

back in the days for the us, honeygain was decent, earnapp gave a strong static 50 cents per day sometimes more, and salad at times made 1-2 dollars in 24h
now, honeygain is crap, earnapp just abuses their customers and took the only thing making them competitive away for more profts, and salad is and has been a desert for like half a year now.

and other bandwidth sharing apps (which im not gonna mention here) either dont pay anything or just kill themselves and randomly stop earning if you even breathe on your computer

i would only run salad and earnapp since other apps screw your ip over, but all the ips in my area are already completely screwed over to begin with so i mightaswell run all the apps since theres nothing more to lose. I still earn like 60 cents daily lol which is not too bad

[waxen pollen]

TBF HG is no better than EA nowdays either

[waxen pollen]

they also have 0 filters to protect your IP

[gleaming shell]

yeah it earns just the same if not worse

ngl all the passive income apps in the us have been absolute crap for a while

[robust creek]

earnapp's most anoying thing now is that they can use all the data they want and pay you the same

i see sometimes they use 2gb sometimes 8-10

the pay is the sam

same

not nice...

[waxen pollen]

You have HG to thank for that. Or least to my knowledge they were the first to do it.

[robust creek]

really?? they don't pay per gb anymore too?

[waxen pollen]

The issue is they think of us as live stock, not how it should be, those that provide them with the rss they need to turn a profit. It's just scummy behaviour

[waxen pollen]

think they have 2 options. One being get paid $10 a month or get paid a heck of a lot less for doing like 200mbs per day

[robust creek]

they use the excuse "you agree? you stay, you disagree? bye bye"

[waxen pollen]

Haven't used them in a log long time now, so could be a bit different

[robust creek]

ah yes content delivery, content delivery was paying 0,06$ a day and was using same amount of data than salad

[waxen pollen]

Ha yeah, EA did that with me too. The other was if you don't like it, why are you use it. Like we can't like something but not agree with every direction they took. Then they went way too scummy and i bounced.

[robust creek]

worse and worse

[waxen pollen]

If Salad ever starts going down that route, ima seriously cry

[gleaming shell]

yep

and they still had the balls to say "better earnings for everyone"

they did not mention ANYTHING about worse earnings and basically a scam for the us now, until people started complaining about it

[waxen pollen]

EA hated anyone making actual money off them, other than pocket change.

[gleaming shell]

saying "were transitioning to pay per time" is another way of saying "we get to exploit you and use 37tb of data and you get paid a static amount. Dont prodive that data? well screw you cause you dont get paid"

[waxen pollen]

even though using VMs and proxies was allowed, they would constantly go to war with the farms. Then they just shadow changed their TOS and banned all the farm IPs

[waxen pollen]

NO joke, it's what Vita would say in the Discord.

[gleaming shell]

basically they silently changed their tos without a public announcement?

💀

[waxen pollen]

yep

[waxen pollen]

Uhhh, that guy did not take having power very well.

[robust creek]

vita: earnapp is the best paying passive income app

me: no, salad is (i send screenshot)

vita: no reply and ignores

they don't even count 24 hours

they show 23:30/23:45 and stuff like that

so is never 5$ a month full

then consider fees too

[waxen pollen]

Only take 90% of the money the client pays

[robust creek]

i'm not asking they should pay us 2$ per gb and use 20gb a day constant, they pay taxes, servers fees do the marketing etc, but.. the way they pay us now is way too much scammy

[gleaming shell]

THIS

[waxen pollen]

I remember EA traffic taking a dump when they brought out their piggy box and we realised they had started moving the traffic that would normally go through EA to their piggy bank instead. IE the traffic we gave them, which i swear would be illegal under UK and US law. But i digress.

[gleaming shell]

i have my laptop on almost 24/7

and it undercounts

[robust creek]

how much traffic it consumes

[gleaming shell]

5/6.5 gb per day :(.........
from what would be an easy 2.5-3.5 dollars per day turned into a "less than 30 cents per day and if you dont provide it, even less... screw you"

despite the insane amount of unhappy users in the discord, they still decided to continue with this scammy practice... greedy mfs
