Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[waxen pollen]

they are not the same GPU though

[woven tundra]

yeah urs is a 1650M

[granite steppe]

how

[woven tundra]

I think

[woven tundra]

laptop gpus r weaker

[waxen pollen]

it's never going to be the same as a desktop GPU in it's performance and due to it already being a low end GPU and in a laptop, clients will be unlikely to rent it

[granite steppe]

[waxen pollen]

I'm supprised 10series or 20series cards even get any demand 😅

over any other recent xx50 or xx60 series cards

[granite steppe]

oh

looks like i gotta make a beast pc

wha is this

[waxen pollen]

You do that at your own risk. Salad could go bye bye tomorrow for all we know

[granite steppe]

im broke atleast

[granite steppe]

wdym

ill not make it only for salad im not dumb

i am a gamer 🎮

[waxen pollen]

exactly what it said. Should never rely solely on Salad.

[granite steppe]

im still sad that laptop dont get gpu containers

is there any chance that i can get

[waxen pollen]

Theres just no demand for them rn

[granite steppe]

then its not worth it for me to run salad

[waxen pollen]

Salad is trying to do something about that. But they can only do so much if there not enough demand

[granite steppe]

aight

[waxen pollen]

We are ruled by supply and demand

[granite steppe]

aight

does ip ratings matter

for SGS

[waxen pollen]

Even a laptop 4090 isn't really wanted over a desktop 4090

[granite steppe]

aight

[waxen pollen]

depending on where you live and what BW demand is like. It would be more than suitable for BW work

[granite steppe]

im running salad since the ui was like u have to click on the circle start button to start chopping

[granite steppe]

india

i used to get $1.5/day from it and nowadays nothin

[waxen pollen]

Right, i like how simple it is for us. Less headache

[granite steppe]

yea

now it has that many options

[waxen pollen]

thats liekly due to the demand in India dropping below a set amount and Salad unsupporting that region. A lot of regions go in and out of demand

[granite steppe]

its not like that i think

since the day my isp changed i didnt got any sgs

my old isp's ip's had clean ip's

the new one have shit ip's

with over 89 score

in ipissqualityscore

used to get 0 score in all ip's in my old ISP

[waxen pollen]

have you tried turning your router off for 30mins? That may give you a new IP

depends how your ISP is setup

[granite steppe]

yey i have dynamic ip and tried it alot of times

[waxen pollen]

gotcha

[granite steppe]

my whole ip pool only have rarely 10 clean ip

out of like 70-80

[waxen pollen]

that sucks

[granite steppe]

my monthly laptop network usage used to be 4+ tb and nowadays its 300gb max

3.5 tb only from sald

salad*

[robust creek]

New earnapp bug, counted hours decreasing!

Became from 14 hours to 0, then 15 then 3 and earnings stuck

But they consuming traffic obv

[waxen pollen]

hmmm weird

[civic fern]

Wait, salad only allows bandwidth sharing on one pc, on only one ip?

as i tried to let bandwidth sharing run on another ip, it removed my other pc which was at home, to let bandwidth sharing run on this laptop

is that the truth?

[robust creek]

Odd

[gleaming shell]

WHY

EVERY PASSIVE INCOME APP KILLs ITSELF AT SOME POINT 😭

first it was packetshare expiring your session and now pawns does the same too

they keep saying "if you want to earn more then keep your device on for longer"

but then when you keep your device on and let it run, it silently logs you out with zero notices

what is the point of expiring your session it makes zero sense

[gleaming shell]

THEY DONT EVEN HAVE A BUTTON TO LOG YOU OUT 💀

ok, theyre all back in service again until one of them screws itself over again within the next week

[woven tundra]

What app is this and what exactly does it do

[upbeat shuttle]

[gleaming shell]

pawns.app
It's a crappy bandwidth sharing app, I wouldn't recommend at all

Actually all of them suck, aside from salad when it works well

(which it doesn't for me)

[woven tundra]

Does it even pay decent

or

[gleaming shell]

nope, its crap

[woven tundra]

😭😭😭

[gleaming shell]

like, cents per day

[woven tundra]

I need a way to earn some side money

[gleaming shell]

in the single digits

[woven tundra]

and I am NOT mining for 1c/h

[gleaming shell]

same lol

but salad doesnt like my hardware AND isp

[gleaming shell]

ong

[woven tundra]

problem is bw sharing is available in Romania but it doesn’t show in perf tab

and they annc containers for 1650S but didn’t get any

in like 16h of running salad

[gleaming shell]

the only thing that is semi-worth is if i CPU mine, but this stupid vegetable app is so sensitive and screws over even in the slightest cpu load

[woven tundra]

😭😭😭

[gleaming shell]

and putting in less mining threads just makes it so inefficient i might aswell not even mine

anyways im still continuing to mine rn because i have not gotten a single cpu container in the past over 24 hours

[woven tundra]

I am not torturing my gpu

and the power usage isn’t even worth it

only the gpu alone consumes more money than the mining

excluding the deterioration of the card itself

[gleaming shell]

i have my gpu mining only for heat

[woven tundra]

Wild

[gleaming shell]

i want to cpu mine aswell but such a bummer salad removed cpu mining silently and basically abondoned it, and even if i do cpu mine the app simply just screws itself over

im not sure why the app is so sensitive

[woven tundra]

Use a 3rd party app for cpu

[gleaming shell]

im running xmrig externally

its just salad that for some reason hates high cpu usage

[woven tundra]

How much does that earn you

And what’s ur cpu

[gleaming shell]

23 cents per day
my cpu is a ryzen 7 5700x

16 threads, at 4.58ghz

4.65ghz on a good day

[woven tundra]

so I’m guessing my poor r5 5600 would make around 14-15c

[woven tundra]

not even worth it

The electricity alone is more expensive

[gleaming shell]

it is

im mining mainly for heat

[woven tundra]

I miss the old times where you’d get a container for 1$/day with it using just 1gb of ram

[gleaming shell]

since weather is getting colder

[gleaming shell]

THIS

before the app became so buggy

[woven tundra]

I even had my Linux server running salad

3 devices

if only I thought about deploying a bunch of vms

[robust creek]

Better, your ip is safe now

[mighty fractal]

what?

how did you get your linux server to run salad

[woven tundra]

🤫

[mighty fractal]

is there a secret linux salad version no one knows about?

[upbeat shuttle]

no

they were probably running proxmox

[mighty fractal]

oh thanks

[gleaming shell]

mmmmmmm and they decreased the pay per gb i see

[robust creek]

hm? wasn't 0,20$?

[gleaming shell]

If I remember it was 0.23 for a while

Maybe I'm schizo idk

[robust creek]

i'm not using that crap from 2022

[gleaming shell]

Either way the app sucks anyways

I wouldve ditched these apps if only every single IP my ISP has isn't so bad

Every IP in my area all have 100 fraud score

except for a few which I'm not going to bother gambling

[lime sky]

will salad damage my laptop overtime if i keep my laptop on just for bandwidth?

[robust creek]

No

[lime sky]

aight

[waxen pollen]

Just normal wear and tear from having the device on. Even GOU containers do not do any negligible damage to the GPU/device other than just using it.

[lime sky]

on average i use my laptop for like 14 hours what if i keep salad on only for those hours?

[robust creek]

Good luck getting sgs every times and earning something with only 14 hours uptime 😅

[lime sky]

lol

[waxen pollen]

Laptop demand is far lower than their desktop counterparts though.

The demand just isn't there for them to be consistent

[lime sky]

bandwidth demand is different in laptops and pc?

[upbeat shuttle]

he means for GPU Containers

Bandwidth Sharing demand doesn't discriminate between laptops and PCs - assuming they're both on ethernet

[lime sky]

ah

[waxen pollen]

Ohh sorry you are correct. I'm thinking of the wrong channel lol

but yeah what i said was still correct for containers. Just wrong channel

[lime sky]

alright

i wont be using gpu tho

only bandwidth

[robust creek]

bw super dead 😅

[granite steppe]

its not dead

atleast u getting something

Mine is dead

im getting nothing

😭

tho im getting more that that in honeygain

[robust creek]

coming back

[robust creek]

ooooh take a look at that!! what the heck? GG

Salad clients has read my complaint and fixed the problem 😆

[robust creek]

oh new gateway seems

E-C

sgs-eu-herculaneum-gateway.salad.com

[misty furnace]

Information Technology

[robust creek]

what

[granite umbra]

Which country?

[misty furnace]

that's what IT and ITEC stand for

[robust creek]

Italy, very oddly

I only had 1 single sgs from years

[gleaming shell]

better pray that geteway is worth running

[robust creek]

i think yes, even if traffic is deacreasing, i was earning 0.20 a day with the other gateway from weeks

[robust creek]

Lets talk about earnapp and his enormous amount of traffic and ram usage that made my raspberry crash this night 👍

[gleaming shell]

wow the us could never

[gleaming shell]

passive income apps try not to screw over or kill itself or do something wrong when youre not looking at it challenge (impossible)

[civic fern]

Why does anyone still use that app?

Uninstalled as soon as it went pay per availability

[robust creek]

There was some time where they was not using much traffic, from 600mb to 2gb a day, was ok considering it was counting pretty good, now it became scammy because they using around 10gb a day... with huge spykes of 50mbps

[final marsh]

Is bandwidth sharing not supported in the United States? I have it enabled in salad but am not seeing anything in my Windows 11 data usage tracker.

[upbeat shuttle]

customer demand for US traffic is very low currently :(

[robust creek]

which is very odd as usually USA is the one with most traffic, probably there are too many users

[gleaming shell]

none of the gateways end up being successful(most of the time)

[misty furnace]

I think the issue isn't the number of users and is more related to the streamable content specific to the US. Not as desirable as other countries

[robust creek]

But more users there are, the more the traffic gets diluted

[gleaming shell]

demand for other apps in the us have been bad for a while too tho*

[robust creek]

I think i'm having much traffic because there are very few users in my country, many doesn't even have fiber or knows english

[misty furnace]

that's definitely a factor, but the lack of demand in the first place is the primary factor

coupled with the many other VPN services that allow watching US content for free

[robust creek]

hmm but there are some sites that requires residential ips otherwise it will say "please disable the vpn"

i honestly have no idea what they are watching, what's interesting in my country to watch rn? 😆

i only see i'm being used as a traffic tunnel, i download data from other people and send to salad

other times i've seen they was watching raiplay (italian television)

[gleaming shell]

UK bandwidth on salad literally gets more connections to US ips than the US itself gets

[robust creek]

curious

[gleaming shell]

From what I've seen on others glasswire

[robust creek]

ping between uk and usa is high

150-200

[gleaming shell]

Speaking of that
WHY ARE 2(3 )OF THE US GATEWAYS LOCATED IN THE UK

They have absolutely no reason to exist, but still do

And users get them

high ping, and zero throughout

[gleaming shell]

Franklin, marigold, and toolik

[misty furnace]

why do US gateways even exist

[robust creek]

i know australia has a lot of traffic too

at least it had

[gleaming shell]

India had really strong traffic if I remember

While back they also had terabyte days

[gleaming shell]

theres only been 2 days ive earned that much (after the cpu container beta)
once was during around christmas/new year 2023, at 2.67 dollars

and another one was ironicly when the galbraith gateways had some random unknown massive throughput that lasted less than 2 days, and i almost scraped 3 dollars in 24h

new discord update?

[upbeat shuttle]

oh wow that sucks

i hope it's disable-able

[gleaming shell]

seems like you can, luckily

[robust creek]

My highest with bw was 3$ in 2024 but high earnings moments doesn't last too much, it will probably end in a couple of days or couple of weeks, then will return 0,20 a day for months

[upbeat shuttle]

i haven't had bw in days

salad still seeing my ip as in the US

went through this hassle before, ipqs doesn't care, and salad doesn't care

[robust creek]

!? What how is it possible

Bad isp?

My static ip was seen as datacenter in 2021, i had to complain to my isp and after some months it magically became residential

[upbeat shuttle]

I've been trying to cycle IPs but it keeps giving me the same block which I assume has all been marked as being in the US by IPQS

and now librespeed is half dead because the amsterdam server died

yet is somehow still the lowest latency

[gleaming shell]

i wanna complain to my isp for literally every single ip in my area being bad quality, but i doubt theyll give me a free static ip

contacting IPQS does nothing because yk, ive done it three times and ive been ghosted every single time

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah IPQS genuinely doesn't care

Salad might kinda care, but I doubt there's anything they can do

[gleaming shell]

i know its not my isps fault ipqs scores it so terribly but man

just a bummer stuff like this exists

[upbeat shuttle]

iirc last time this happened, I had to get a new better IP myself

[gleaming shell]

same thing here, except its ip quality

all the ips in my block (or around where I live) are all pinned at 100 score

falsely marked as proxy and bot activity

theres a few that are clean, but i feel like its not worth the gamble, atleast right now

moment of silence to the people who use an app that uses a free plan of ipqs, and cant use that app because their ip got falsely screwed

[granite steppe]

yep

[void widget]

This is happening in LOGs from last 2 days

[upbeat shuttle]

nothing we can do about it :(

it's a librespeed issue

[granite steppe]

happened with me alot of times

it gets fixed automatically

[granite steppe]

yey!

[upbeat shuttle]

it didn't fix itself for me

my salad spent all of yesterday trying and failing

[void widget]

so basically the problem here is this website :- ams.speedtesst.clouvidder. net

which is not responding and not opening even if we open it manually in browser, maybe its down or something

[upbeat shuttle]

yup

[gleaming shell]

why cant it just choose a fallback server 😭

[waxen pollen]

Why can't they just aggregate all gateways into one 😩

Would make things so much easier

[gleaming shell]

it would solve the worst thing about us bandwidth

[waxen pollen]

18 gateways is crazy, how are you meant to connect to one that has traffic if most of them do not. It's a crazy system that they really should address.

[gleaming shell]

yep

[waxen pollen]

Not like you can efferently setup 1 device per gateway with all those. Have enough problems with that here in the UK with it's 5 gateways

[gleaming shell]

Yeah it's like basically impossible to connect to more than 4/5 in the us aswell

[waxen pollen]

per account, ohh yeah. I'm fully aware 😩

[serene falcon]

I am facing same issue today

[gleaming shell]

wait salad atleast retries the speedtest when it fails now?

back then when librespeed crapped itself, salad wouldnt restart

idk

[serene falcon]

It's trying but same trying to connect again and again to same netherlands

On my laptop it's running bandwidth job no issues with that

This issue is on my main pc

Only

[gleaming shell]

welp same here

im in the us

its also constantly attempting to connect to netherlands for some reason

gotta love libresheit

[serene falcon]

Mine revived

Back to job

[upbeat shuttle]

Anyone facing the issue where librespeed gets stuck on the Amsterdam, Netherlands server because it's not responding, use this workaround: #community-support message

[tardy swan]

Wow criminal

[robust creek]

up down up down, still very good

[gleaming shell]

oh it isnt against tos?

i always thought it was

[upbeat shuttle]

so incredibly not my problem

[gleaming shell]

might update my libresheit blocking tutorial

[upbeat shuttle]

probably best to not actively talk or spread it

but it's the only way to fix this issue until it fixes itself

[tidal bough]

bw just keeps getting better every month

[granite steppe]

i used to do that method along time ago and someone said its against the tos cuz u are modifying the salad app's files and u might get ur salad acc ban

i dont use it anymore tho

[granite steppe]

libreshit was not libreshit for me along ago because i used to get 100mbps speed and 130-160ms ping in a server called usa smth it doesnt work anymore now

[solemn widget]

How much you get now ?

[robust creek]

in my end the situation has changed a lot because i was forced to set different servers manually because it was automatically selecting a bad one, but now, it automatically chooses the fastest one

my connection is 2ping 1000/300 and librespeed now calculates 400/200, 20ping

[solemn widget]

i don't know what is going on with librespeed is only selecting amstredam and not running any speedtest stuck on the loop

[robust creek]

It was performing tests on italian servers which was having only 8mbps upload for some reasons, now running on germany and works very good

[solemn widget]

yeah some servers are really bad on speedtest don't know why they exist

[upbeat shuttle]

^

[civic fern]

when shit doesn't work, we make it work.

until it does for a cause that's beyond our power, of course

[gleaming shell]

lol libresheit is still dead
maybe time for a new speedtesting solution?

[upbeat shuttle]

doubt any new decent entirely free solution has popped up in like the year since salad last looked into solutions

[frigid reef]

@tight atlas when more pics of cat?

[tight atlas]

sure

[frigid reef]

[tight atlas]

kitty (he's silly)

I also have a black cat (looks and acts just like jinx)

Can't find him so heres his silliest picture

[upbeat shuttle]

awesome car

[frigid reef]

nice car

[gleaming shell]

whis is exactly what I mean by "these passive income apps WILL find a way to kill themselves and screw over when youre not even touching it"

if i minimize the app, it will "expire my session" which makes no sense, and log me out silently

and if i keep the app open, this somehow happens

ok all 7 apps back working and operational again, until within the next week one of them stops working again

^oh and i didnt forget about that day pawns.app memory leaked and logged itself out, and honeygain stopped working and ate 80% cpu, which then caused a chain reaction of salad also screwing up since its unusually sentitive to cpu usage, and it killed all workloads there too

[civic fern]

eh?

EH?

i mean- i'm not complaining, i'm just curious

[misty furnace]

sgs w

[gleaming shell]

this isp sucks

all the isps here suck

[civic fern]

ye but, what's up with the change of country

[misty furnace]

that's just a bug with the glasswire app

[gleaming shell]

stupid app kicked me out of lockdown browser

(glasswire)

No I don't want to update to 3.something.somethingwhateverthehellminorversion

[void widget]

Just wtf is wrong wrong with SGS and netherlands server, my sgs wants to join with netherlands and that server is not responding back

what is salad team doing with the problem or they are jjust ignoring the problem

are mods even reporting problem or its like "thats not my problem"

[upbeat shuttle]

it's librespeed's problem and there's unfortunately nothing we can do to fix it, but there is a workaround ^^

[serene falcon]

What it is?

[upbeat shuttle]

check the message i replied to

[serene falcon]

I am facing same issue from last 3 days

[civic fern]

oh ok, thanks

[robust creek]

wow

[civic fern]

right?

[robust creek]

so someone cares about italy in the bw sharing field finally 🔥

it was always in the middle, not very nice but also not completely dead

now 📈

[civic fern]

It went a bit down since yesterday

I mean- it's alright

[robust creek]

italy becoming uk 2.0 by any chance?

[civic fern]

i wish lol

yesterday, while peeking at the usage logs, i spotted 110MB of transfer in 30 seconds

[gleaming shell]

bad isp + salad choped indefinitely every other day or so

[waxen pollen]

Dang. Almost maxing out my networking port.

[gleaming shell]

man I just want a good isp in my area and bandwidth to be good again 😭

all 3 ISPs available in my area have some aspect that sucks balls
And every other bandwidth sharing app scams, will guarantee to somehow kill itself within a week, and earn absolutely nothing

[robust creek]

My traffic died instead

🤷‍♂️

They got tired of my ip xd

[gleaming shell]

Wonder if my IP is truly bombed rn

Like, what the fraud score would be if you were to run ipissqualityscore with a paid account

it's already screwed out the box on the free account so I just run all the apps

But on earnapp which uses ipqs I'm still earning just fine

[robust creek]

salad usage came back

[safe loom]

for future reference you don't actually have to blur those

they're only for the internal network

[tidal bough]

my task manager shows my external ip for some reason

windows update maybe

[safe loom]

what the flip

thats strange

[civic fern]

MAKE BANDWIDTH, GREAT AGAIN!

https://tenor.com/view/trump-dance-trump-2024-trump-gif-12734161508561409577

[misty furnace]

and many people have their external ipv6 listed, not just the link local

like a 2600:: or 2606::

[safe loom]

strange

[waxen pollen]

I do because Cursed mentions it to me

[robust creek]

censoring your local ip address? XD

[robust creek]

!? oh god @civic fern @gleaming shell

[gleaming shell]

holy

[civic fern]

jesus

[gleaming shell]

I'm still surviving off these scam crap apps that don't even work correctly

Lol

once again not gonna bother getting a static IP (don't wanna give these crap ISPs money) until us bandwidth is good again

it would be very funny if ipqs instantly marks my IP 100 fraud score when I do get a static ip

[misty furnace]

for some, it has the public ipv6 (and in rare cases the public ipv4)

just depends on how your router is configured.

[robust creek]

🤔 very odd

wowowo salad is internet hungry today i love it

📈

[gleaming shell]

Must be nice

[robust creek]

unbelievable

i know it will end sooner than i think

but i take what i can for now

[gleaming shell]

it's been like almost half a year now I've earned basically nothing on salad lol

and I don't expect to earn anything anytime soon

I'm not buying a static IP unless I'm fully confident, and I'm definitely not buying any hardware for salad

[robust creek]

i tried to limit earnapp 12mbps, they say 10mbps is enough but they seem got angry because they are giving me 0,04$ a day after i've done that 😅 they was using too much and paying 0,17$ before but i honestly prefer give all the data to salad

[gleaming shell]

the earnapp android app kills itself as as soon as you close the app

It's crazy

[robust creek]

i will keep it like that or eventually uninstall

at least until salad is 📈

[gleaming shell]

I would have every reason to uninstall these apps, but every single IP in my area sucks balls so nothing to lose, and salad doesn't like that

[robust creek]

does your isp allow you to get more than 1 ip?

if yes it's worth?

[gleaming shell]

I don't see it anywhere :(
Only an option for static IP which idk if ipissqualityscore will give me a bad RNG

[robust creek]

RIP

i know AT&T and Atlas Network or how it was called, allows you to get a tons of ips

not for free obv, you pay

[gleaming shell]

the ISP I have rn is way way cheaper than my old ISP, but the monthly cost for static IP is 10 dollars compared to the 5 dollars

idk if it's covered under ddos protection

[robust creek]

you pay 5$ amonth for your internet? cheap

here 29,99€

[gleaming shell]

Nah monthly cost for internet is $67.67

If I want a static ip it's an extra 10 dollars 💀

So 77.67

[robust creek]

!

ok not cheap

[gleaming shell]

yeah Internet here sucks

[robust creek]

i wonder how much does those extra ips cost in at&t

these apps makes sense only with 20+ ips honestly

earns so less with 1 only

[gleaming shell]

ISP 1 is complete balls, no fiber, has data cap
ISP 2 is absurdly overpriced
ISP 3 every single IP is completely screwed by ipqs

[robust creek]

(salad is an exception when it gets traffic)

[gleaming shell]

yeah

[robust creek]

guys i did it, i've reached 4

i wonder who is this new gateway and what they do with the connection

[gleaming shell]

lmao libresheit is still broken

[gleaming shell]

how tf does it select the netherlands server "based on ping" then wtf

i do not believe it selects the "fastest server based on ping"

[upbeat shuttle]

0ms (failed)

[robust creek]

bugs 🤔

[upbeat shuttle]

i wonder if that's actually the case lol

it fails to ping the server so it defaults to 0

[gleaming shell]

could be

though it does skip servers that i have blocked in the firewall

[robust creek]

keeps increasing

[gleaming shell]

i cant even get cpu containers 😭

since the app is so sensitive

95% of the time im earning nothing, so it would be a logical reaosn to cpu mine (its geting cold here), but then if i cpu mine the app doesnt like it

[robust creek]

its very odd seeing people from usa earning nothing or less than me, always has been the opposite

[gleaming shell]

hell this is what it does when I cpu mine with xmrig set to lowest priority, all salad processes set to realtime priority, and minimal apps running

[gleaming shell]

yep

unfortunately other apps have fallen off in the us too

the highest earning apps dont earn much and are abusive, and any other apps just dont even earn/work at all

[robust creek]

earnapp

[gleaming shell]

^yep

[robust creek]

my glasswire broke, how do i fix it without reboot my pc?

i remember there was a way

[gleaming shell]

earned a lot but they took the thing making it the ONLY salad competitor away

[gleaming shell]

does it not connect to local server?

or is it another bug

[robust creek]

local server

[gleaming shell]

ohhhhh that bug

oh man i reinstalled windows bc of it

[robust creek]

it usually goes away after i reboot but i don't wanna reboot, i would lose the traffic

[gleaming shell]

ohhh

Have you tried restarting glasswire control service?

In services.msc

Prayers it's not that bug that caused me to reinstall windows 😭

[robust creek]

it worked!!! thank you

[safe loom]

cheers mee6

[tidal bough]

new canada gateway (its not so shit)

sgs-na-drumheller-gateway.salad.com

hell of a name

[serene falcon]

I tried manually changing liberclient server I lost sgs client even after clean re installation

😢

[tidal bough]

had a decent amount of traffic for the first few hours and died

if it makes a comeback it could be the next gibson (not gonna happen)

wait actually theres another new one

sgs-na-gibson-gateway.salad.com

this one is completely dead

ok im naming this one false gibson because its currently has no traffic

[tidal bough]

wait actually this one isnt that shit my salad just switched gateways for no reason again 💀

im tempted to spin up 3 more vms so i can have sgs running on each gateway but im gonna need to download more ram for that

[robust creek]

📉

[misty furnace]

@gleaming shell

[misty furnace]

and this

[gleaming shell]

also added sgs-us-gd (another us gateway thats existed for maybe a while, i just never added it)
im not sure the gateway name tho

cant get sgs so i cant find new gateways directly

[tidal bough]

actually there are a few more canada gateways
sgs-na-lif-gateway.salad.com
sgs-na-banting-gateway.salad.com
sgs-na-saf-gateway.salad.com
sgs-na-toolik-gateway.salad.com (toolik in canada?)
sgs-na-swan-gateway.salad.com
these all point to the same ip
unsure of workload name

turns out there are a lot more new gateways globally its basically impossible to keep up

inb4 galbraith comes to canada

[gleaming shell]

I pray no other country gets these gateways

I still find it funny how i managed to get SGS client on a US gateway, while I was in China, using a sketchy vpn connected to supposedly "Hong Kong servers" (glasswire showed them as Chinese ips), and the latency to the us was about 280-300ms average.

Yet with my new ISP 1gbps and I get nothing 💀

^even funnier how ipqs marked the VPN IP as a low fraud score, no VPN and no bot activity and no proxy

[tidal bough]

i somehow got an italy gateway

on a canadian ip

[tidal bough]

thats because letsvpn operates like an airport (iykyk) and thats just the entrance node

which is suspicious because it seemingly wasnt affected by the crackdowns

[gleaming shell]

but hey at least it works lol it's all that matters

(I'm probably logged somewhere who knows)

[gleaming shell]

wtf t mobile still hasn't sent me the warning that they'll throttle my speeds in network congested areas after 50gb warning

goodbye packetshare (packetshart), you will never be missed!!!!

and one is no longer there

[gleaming shell]

@robust creek lmfao i let earnapp run on my mobile data and holy it is taking advantage of it

and yes^, this proves the mobile app is undermaintained and completely broken

wow im pretty sure tihs thing is saturating my mobile data bandwdith rn holy scam

[solemn widget]

Earnapp on my mobile

In a day

[gleaming shell]

wait it works for you? interesting

the app keeps killing itself for me, and it doesnt do anything

ill reinstall and see

ive never had that on earnapp on mobile

[gleaming shell]

is that on home internet? or is it mobile data usage

[solemn widget]

Yes it somehow works

[solemn widget]

Home internet

[gleaming shell]

ahh

i use mobile data for it

[solemn widget]

Doesn't works on mobile data

[gleaming shell]

makes sense then

though for some reason the desktop app does

im running it through my mobile data ip right now and its just ripping through the bandwidth

ok its not saturated, but its consistenly and definitely using bandwidth

[solemn widget]

There mobile app sucks thou doesn't give the uptime hours correctly

[gleaming shell]

yeah

can confirm aswell

[solemn widget]

Sometimes it gives 3-4 sometime over 20

[robust creek]

What the heck?? Country?

[solemn widget]

india

[void widget]

@gleaming shell @solemn widget what are the best apps for bandwidth sharing for mobile and pc

and should we run it together

[solemn widget]

Dmed you

[robust creek]

high earnings are coming back

[gleaming shell]

Unfortunately all the bandwidth sharing apps suck balls. They either:

• Destroy your IP
• Kill itself / stop working in some way / bug out when you look away for like 2 seconds (lots of babysitting).
• Earn very little / abysmally low

But if you're truly interested for whatever reason maybe your IP already sucks to begin with and there's nothing else to lose: I personally use honeygain (mid earnings, content delivery is a scam), pawns.app (earnings suck), and earnapp (theyve transitioned to an abusive practice (pay per time) and sucks too).

there's really not much good bandwidth sharing apps, if at all

If salad bandwidth sharing works just fine for you, I'd avoid running these other apps^

But if you're like me with a crappy ISP that gives the worst quality IPs ever, you could give it a shot, though be aware that earnapp uses ipqualityscore, so that could be affected

[void widget]

ok

[void widget]

this mf is ragebaiting me from last some days

[gleaming shell]

shoutout to the garbage isps in my area

[robust creek]

i was earning 0,20/0,40 a day from months XD

[gleaming shell]

ive earned absolutely nothing from bandwidth in half a year now lol

[robust creek]

only recently there is a huge increase but it will certainly die soon

[void widget]

for context, i was saying

[gleaming shell]

honeygains still living its own life

[robust creek]

ipDestroyedGain*

[gleaming shell]

(ok i do want to make a statement about honeygain: yes it sucks but it is the most reliable app ever. the only time it has EVER screwed itself on me is that day it memory leaked, but this app im able to run 24/7, zero babysitting). Doesnt log itself out, doesnt have a stroke for no reason, doesnt pause itself, doesnt cry when cpu usage is high from other apps.

[gleaming shell]

yep...

[void widget]

what is your server ?

[robust creek]

sgs gateway?

[void widget]

yes

any tips for SGS client or bandwidth earning in salad ? i am still not enough expirienced

[robust creek]

79.127.227.7

[void widget]

i mean what server u are in ? netherland or us ?

[robust creek]

it says netherlands

[void widget]

okk

[void widget]

@gleaming shell

[gleaming shell]

• if you cannot get sgs client to start up for a long time (weeks) despite meeting the requirements and high internet speeds, try getting a new ip. if that doesnt work, try complaining to your isp for them to give you a static ip. (In my experience, salad liked a 100mbps internet with a good ip, rather than a 1gbps internet with bad ips)
• if you can get sgs client, try to keep your device on 24/7
• look out for "bad gateways" if any, they dont have jobs / have very little jobs.
• if you do get a bad gateway, try restarting salad until you get a desirable one

the gateway parts depend on what country youre in

[void widget]

ok

thanks bro

i am currently on germany server

netherlands is not responding "in logs"

[gleaming shell]

yeah the speetesting app sucks

its curently broken rn

[civic fern]

"currently"

[gleaming shell]

^its always been broken*

[robust creek]

ah you meant speedtest server

i have 1000/300 but it's still a pretty good speedtest

i hate when it was doing speedtest with the italian servers, it was counting 10mbps down and 5mbps up

[gleaming shell]

I have 1000mbps but it's chosing a broken server that isn't even pingable in the Netherlands, than a server just a few hours away from me

[robust creek]

🤔

[tidal bough]

why tf does salad pause itself when i observe it

[misty furnace]

Schrödinger's Salad

Both chopping and not chopping until observed.

[gleaming shell]

enjoy it while it lasts

[robust creek]

wow

[gleaming shell]

meanwhile 💀

Honestly should've just bought the 500mbps plan and saved some money for maybe a static ip rather than get the gigabit plan

No point having a gigabit when every single IP is so horrendously bad I can't get anything worthy out of it

ive still "passively" quit salad to this day, waiting until I can have something worth keeping my other devices on for,

[upbeat shuttle]

i've actively quit salad until official support fixes my ip being seen as being in the US

[frigid reef]

https://tenor.com/view/holy-moly-gif-2379897567703251318

[upbeat shuttle]

there's no gpu containers so i'm not even bothering to keep the app open for the slight chance of it

[gleaming shell]

come on atleast they should give you something that isn't dead gateways 😭

[upbeat shuttle]

none

[robust creek]

change ip

[upbeat shuttle]

tried 50+ times, my isp keeps giving me ips from the same shit block

[gleaming shell]

SAME

except in my case it's 100 ipqs fraud with a topping of other bs

I want to contact my ISP and complain to them for the hopes of a free static IP, but unlike my old ISP that was very small, this ISP is much larger and I doubt they give a crap about what I have to say

[robust creek]

which isp

[upbeat shuttle]

zzoomm

[waxen pollen]

Won't know till you try. All well and good saying you think this or you believe they will that, till you find out.

[gleaming shell]

true

[tidal bough]

about to be even bigger because t mobile bought it out

and you probably know how good t mobiles customer service is

[gleaming shell]

Yep

[tidal bough]

at least it’s cheap (for USA standards)

[gleaming shell]

I really do miss my old ISP, it's just the god outrageous price

Who thought 135 dollars per month was reasonable for 500mbps

[tidal bough]

meanwhile comcast/xfinity is now in Canada

[gleaming shell]

The ISP that I was able to get SGS client instantly, every time, even before LibreSpeed finished testing

[tidal bough]

I don’t think the librespeed test matters all that much because it’s been failing for the past week

and im still getting sgs

[gleaming shell]

Yeah I guessed so

[robust creek]

reached a new record

[gleaming shell]

bros earnings keep increasing every time 💀

[robust creek]

Idk how is even possible XD

[tidal bough]

iirc bro almost quit salad a few months ago

[gleaming shell]

im earning like about 10 cents per day despite me "passively quitting" salad lol

i only have one gpu thats supported, and its not even in demand and wont ever be likely, cpu containers are still balls, my isp sucks, and i still somehow earning something

[gleaming shell]

this would have been an easy 21 cents right here...

god i "hate" (with half emphasis because it still carries my earnings) earnapp so much, these abusive mfs

oh well my isp keeps giving me sucky ips so i guess this is all I have, and will continute to run only and only because its still half competitive

[robust creek]

earnings died now btw xd

[civic fern]

Yup :c

[robust creek]

Completely dead i would say

[gleaming shell]

they unfortunately fixed libresheit :(

[civic fern]

?

Wym fixed

[gleaming shell]

they fixed the issue where it keeps choosing the broken netherlands server

but the app itself obviously still sucks

[civic fern]

Ah

[gleaming shell]

and it will never be "truly fixed"

[civic fern]

Sald is not dead! :D

[waxen pollen]

I spy with my little eye, something that looks like you have some very suspicious traffic/container job on your dashboard . . .

[civic fern]

?

[waxen pollen]

You said Salad is dead with a screenshot of Salad not quite dead lol

Ie you've had work for at least the last 24hrs

[civic fern]

because it had settled around 8am

so i thought it died

and instead

[waxen pollen]

OMG i so read that wrong. I hate dyslexia. Thought you said Salad is dead. I'm so sorry 😅

[civic fern]

all good

lol

[gleaming shell]

honeygain demand spiking aswell 💀

but we all know it wont last

[gleaming shell]

eat it all away!!!!!

[civic fern]

remove that shit

no pay per gb anymore :c

[robust creek]

Solved

[tardy swan]

Global issue

[granite steppe]

how many devices?? and which which country also tho i know usa

[granite steppe]

using vpn?

[granite steppe]

how to make other ppl jealous code 69:

[gleaming shell]

2 devices, and yes usa

[gleaming shell]

well, it's my mobile data ip

It helps bypass mobile hotspot restrictions

[granite steppe]

what do you mean by hotspot restrictions?

[gleaming shell]

i worded it terribly lol

basically if i use a few gigabytes of mobile hotspot, they will throttle my hotspot speeds to an unusable 600kbps until the next renewal

i use pairvpn so it bypasses it

[void widget]

For maximum earning in bandwidth sharing, what is recommanded conditions for my potato laptop ?, should it be afk or should i use it normally or any other benificial things, Like using chrome affects the earning or any other advice ?
@gleaming shell @robust creek @upbeat shuttle

[gleaming shell]

you dont have to be afk when using bandwidth sharing

ive gamed before with it

however, do be aware that salad is very unusually sensitive to high CPU usage, the app is kinda buggy and if your CPU usage is consistently very high, salad has a chance of killing off all workloads and wont start any again until you manually restart salad

Additionally, beware of the "chop indefinitely" bug that is more likely to appear from high CPU usage

[robust creek]

not needed to be afk, just don't enable that salad option that stops chopping when is not afk, i only do bandwidth sharing so i'm not sure about the rest

[void widget]

ok, thanks for help

And and any advice for getting higher earning sgs or gateways ?

[gleaming shell]

currently salad doent have the best gateway selection algorithm, its kinda luck based.

What I would recommend is to note down each gateway and see which ones have a lot of jobs and which ones have no jobs, the try to get salad to use a good gateway

[void widget]

ok, so we have to make salad choose different gateways ? is that possible ?

[gleaming shell]

basically yeah,

theres two ways to do it, you can either just restart salad until it gets a good gateway, or you can end sgs-client in task manager, wait until you get a good gateway, then click "retry" on the degraded error

if youre in the US, this can be potentially be especially difficult, if not, borderline impossible

[void widget]

mine is Amsterdam, Netherlands currently in ndm logs

and gives like 25 cents a day

0.25

$

is it good ? @gleaming shell

[gleaming shell]

its decent i think

bandwidth sharing uses very little power so its very easy to profit

i havent gotten anything from it in like half a year now so it may have changed

[void widget]

yeah

[fossil onyx]

How do you add gateways ?

[gleaming shell]

you unfortunately cant, salad is the one that controls what gateway you get

[fossil onyx]

And this is done automatically

[gleaming shell]

yep

[fossil onyx]

I mean this @gleaming shell

If I have bw sharing activity should i do your tricks with librespeed ? Is activating cpu / gpu is needed to increase earnings ? I have ultra 5 CPU and integrated intel gpu

[gleaming shell]

nah not necessary

once bandwidth sharing runs do whatever you want that doesn't piss off salad lol

[fossil onyx]

Ok thanks. And how I can see if I have CPu or GPU jobs ?

[gleaming shell]

It should show on the chopping status on the salad app

[fossil onyx]

Ok I never look at it it’s a dedicated machine 🤣

[gleaming shell]

@robust creek take a look at this god horrendous BS, i dont have earnapp open. its using my data FOR FREE...

they claimed they fixed this a long time ago (which shouldnt evne have been a bug to begin with)

and now look at this thing completely ripping away at my data when the app isnt even open

[robust creek]

it happened many times, they don't use for free, you're still getting paid

[gleaming shell]

ohhh i see

alright then, no bs

(the app itself is still BS for transitioning to pay per time but thats a different story)

[waxen pollen]

You know this is BW sharing support for Salad right. Not other apps 😅 Or in this case, regularly sh*t posting about other apps

[robust creek]

He is not promoting it, he talks bad about it xd

[civic fern]

Holy salad-

[robust creek]

This night the traffic was insanely high, sometimes saturated my whole upload

[civic fern]

Yesterday, at the 4pm mark, i have a peak of 45 cents in 1 hour

insanity

i can't recall the last time the italian's gateway became this popular

[civic fern]

probably never

holy

[robust creek]

Never seen so high traffic in our country, i wonder what they are doing

And how much it will last

[civic fern]

yeah, pls

[robust creek]

The highest i had was in 2024 when sanremo was occuring, i had 3$ in last 24hours

[civic fern]

sanremo 🤢

[robust creek]

When sanremo finished, traffic died xd

[civic fern]

yeah, i expected that

i didn't get much traffic anyway iirc

[robust creek]

I think they have a list of users with high reputation (low ping, always online 24/7, internet speed and stability)

Or its just a coincidence

[civic fern]

Salad? Filled with all those metrics to determine the best chopper? Yeah- no i don't believe that

[robust creek]

I just let it run always xd from 2022

[civic fern]

let us enjoy it a little

[upbeat shuttle]

i wish official support would reply to my ticket instead of ignoring me

nearing two weeks with no response

~two weeks with absolutely no earnings

[frigid reef]

@safe loom

[safe loom]

the ticket has been seen afaik

just awaiting information from somewhere in the chain of people

i definitely can't handle something technical like that

[waxen pollen]

Yeah in another Bw apps discord. Never said he was promoting it 😅 Have no issue it being talked about once in a while. But it's practically daily.

I'm not trying to stir stuff up or cause a seen for anyone. Just annoying to see it constantly being complained/talked about. If i wanted that, id be in the other apps discords

[waxen pollen]

Didn't they say they were testing some things for the US? Think it was last or the one before's SOS stream

[misty furnace]

soonTM

[void widget]

if i want to notice difference in gateways for sgs, how much time i have to wait for proper results

?

@gleaming shell

[misty furnace]

it varies. sometimes you'll see it immediately, other times it will take a few days to see the higher/lower average

[void widget]

okk

[gleaming shell]

youve already got a response but yeah just basicallty run it for a bit, if its dead jobless for a while/prolonged time then you can kill it and pray salad gives you another gateway

[void widget]

ok

3 days enough

[gleaming shell]

probably

[void widget]

ok

7 fkin days ?

[gleaming shell]

thats probably a bit much

i usually wait 12-48h

[void widget]

ok, i have just got 20 cent a day from last 7 days

[gleaming shell]

mmmm

gateway is kinda dry then

[void widget]

so i should restart salad and my wifi

[gleaming shell]

if theres better gateways, you could consider restarting salad

no need to restart wifi tho

[void widget]

and what if i get same server after restart ?

because salad wants to put me in netherlands badly

[gleaming shell]

youll just have to keep killingit until salad give you something good

which is unfortunate

[gleaming shell]

i believe thats the server used for speedtesting, which is different from the actual sgs server

unless there is an sgs server in the netherlands idk

its been too long

[void widget]

ok

how to check my server ?

[void widget]

ok

[void widget]

@gleaming shell

[gleaming shell]

for checking the sgs server, open the latest bandwidth sharing log then search for -server_host_port and to the right if it should be your sgs server

each gateway has their own coresponding ones

[void widget]

i dont understand

@gleaming shell

[gleaming shell]

open one of the folders then one of the logs in that folder

it should show the server on the top line

[misty furnace]

Mine peaks around 0.13 mostly

I have 1gbps

[gleaming shell]

nope. hell even cpu containers have been dead recently

[craggy bronze]

So out of curiosity i checked my logs for SGS..... Theres nothing. 0. 100% dead.

[misty furnace]

you just haven't been assigned the workload on this device yet

[craggy bronze]

Last time I installed/reinstalled salad on this device was in April/May

[brittle bane]

holy moly guys we got bandwidth sharing update 🥳. this part of salad seems otherwise completely forgotten by the devs.

[upbeat shuttle]

you mean the new supported country? this happens all the time

[granite steppe]

poland salad users with low end pc with be very happy right now

[brittle bane]

all the time? ive been following the channels for like a year now and this is the first time im hearing of new countries being supported

[misty furnace]

it's not always announced

[upbeat shuttle]

countries also become unsupported without any announcement

without any notice at all, actually

which is kinda annoying

[void widget]

Buddy what to do if I am get same gateway for the 4th time

@gleaming shell

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately youll just have to keep killing salad :( or just deal with the bad gateway

back when I was on my old ISP and i could atleast even get sgs client, ive been stuck on the same 10 dead jobless gateways, ive kill sgs client probably way past 200 times (it's it's bad but there's no other option when all I'm getting thrown are 0 throughout gateways, no one gets harmed anyways), and it just kept on getting the same dead gateways, and i never got a good gateway,, and now Ive changed isps and i cant even get sgs client on this one anymore

salad isnt the best at selecting gateways

and its just something youll have to deal with unfortunately

I'd assume they don't let you choose gateways due to latency issues.

[gleaming shell]

(which given that I'm not sure why it used to choose a gateway on the literal coast, and 3 of the us gateways are located in the uk but yeah)

[waxen pollen]

I asked about being able to select a gateway (One per IP per device per how ever many gateways a region has) in last weeks SOS, but was told they wouldn't. Which is a shame. Don't see why not imo. Who wants to be stuck on a dead gateway when theres gateways that actually has traffic on it.

A big issue is see with SGS is they have stopped development of it. Or on the back back back burner. Even when it has issues that needs sorting.

[robust creek]

we are back, we are sooo back

[granite umbra]

Which country

[misty furnace]

uk I think

nvm italy

[tidal bough]

italy bandwidth is so good that i somehow got it once in canada

[tidal bough]

holy bw

[craggy bronze]

cries in USA

[gleaming shell]

cries in crap isp/s
-# usa as well

[craggy bronze]

Makes me kinda wonder if my ISP is blocking the bandwidth sharing portion of Salad.
(But if thats the case why would a 110% more bandwidth intrusive program such as the "bee" app be allowed with no issue)

[gleaming shell]

yeah im able to get honeygain content delivery insantly, and earnapp which uses ipqs is able to earn aswell

but for some reason salad doesnt like my isp

and im not sure if there might be something with my account aswell, since i cant get sgs client on mobile data aswell, even though i used to be able to

all seemed to happen ever since i switched isps

[civic fern]

we're so barack

[robust creek]

mine went down now

[mighty fractal]

😅

[mighty fractal]

its decent for me

[mighty fractal]

we are reaching uk levels

[mighty fractal]

that's a lot more than decent really

how many gb did you share?

[robust creek]

last 24 hours

[mighty fractal]

WTF

[robust creek]

last month

[mighty fractal]

i lost connection in the last 24 hours so i just shared around 400gb

[mighty fractal]

i don't even know what that value is

i can't even read it

[robust creek]

almost 11tb i believe

[mighty fractal]

doesn't your isp get mad? this is a fear of mine with bw

[robust creek]

seems not, and salad is not even the only thing consuming bw

[mighty fractal]

what are you also doing?

[robust creek]

torrent node 🤫

[mighty fractal]

your isp is super chill

[robust creek]

i'm sure i'm using at least 30tb a month of data

[mighty fractal]

for linux isos of course

[mighty fractal]

if you have a fritz box router (popular here in italy) you can check that to the byte

[robust creek]

don't have 😅

[mighty fractal]

whats your router

[robust creek]

tim hub 😆

[mighty fractal]

oh you probably can't 😅

those routers are really restricted

[robust creek]

🤷‍♂️

[mighty fractal]

my isp just gave me a router that isn't even branded and if i wanted i could even mod it

[mighty fractal]

oh wait, did you switch back to tim?

[robust creek]

I still have it on my mother house but here no, i just use that modem because was bought by me and my current isp wanted me to install a restricted one with a password i didn't had and i even had to pay it monthly

I just told them "no, gonna use this one instead"

[mighty fractal]

oh that's way smarter

does your isp give you port forwarding and all of that?

because mine sadly doesn't

[robust creek]

Yes

When i first installed it, the ports were closed but i just told them to open all of them and they did it

The only bad thing is that i'm forced to have static ip, and always the same, they refuse to change it

[mighty fractal]

do you have every single port open?

[robust creek]

what i meant, if i want to open any port, i'm able to do that

[mighty fractal]

ooh

i gut scared for a moment

[robust creek]

i'm not that stupid to keep ports open for nothing xd

[gleaming shell]

oppisite situation here 😭

well, im not forced to have a dynamic cgnat ip of which are complete balls in quality, but i dont want to add 10 dollars a month onto the bill ill have to contribute to just for a static ip that isnt even in the ddos protection

i shouldnt even need to get a static ip in the first place if my isp had actual good ips in my area/in the ip block

but here i am

[gleaming shell]

im sure aroud 80-95 percent of all the ips in my ip block are all screwed over by ipqs, showing a bad fraud score in some way. It's absurd

[robust creek]

New earnapp bug happened, it was using all of my download speed for nothing until i rebooted it 🤔

Only download, not upload so was not traffic

I noticed it only because i was watching a movie and it started buffering, since i have gigabit connection it was pretty odd

[gleaming shell]

a group of passive income apps is like a daycare center

Requires constant babysitting and monitoring

And if you look away and leave them unattended, they will eventually die

[robust creek]

salad has been there for 4 weeks untouched and is working fine

[gleaming shell]

nice

Usually I have to keep checking my salads to see if they get the chop indefinitely bug

Or rare occasions log themselves out

[gleaming shell]

And same with other apps that straight up just die on me

[robust creek]

earnapp does die sometmies yes

[gleaming shell]

one day my pawns app memory leaked and my Honeygain crashed and they started to use a bunch of CPU (of course both the apps screwed over without me touching it, and they're both dead)

Then that caused a chain reaction of salad to ALSO screw itself over because it can't handle high CPU usage, so workload got killed there aswell

It's a daycare in my experience lol

(hopefully that doesn't happen again)

gonna start quitting these apps and apply for a babysitting job lol

[civic fern]

saladpat

[robust creek]

its using

[civic fern]

yup

forgor to send image

[tidal bough]

wow its going up again

number go up me happy

[civic fern]

sald pays less than 1 cent per GB

[robust creek]

You calculated up and down?

They pay only upload

[civic fern]

It's only up

With down it would be almost 1.2TB

[robust creek]

Oh

They decreased the reward 🤔

[civic fern]

I just take upload data from glasswire, compare with salad payout

yeah...

[robust creek]

At least there is high traffic

[civic fern]

Not this morning, nope

people sleeping i guess

[robust creek]

I think there is mix, some traffic done by bots some by real people

[waxen pollen]

They only pay for upload?

[robust creek]

yes

[tidal bough]

0.717 in 1 hour

thats a record for me

[serene falcon]

What's the internet speeds bro

[tidal bough]

1 gbps

[serene falcon]

Mine too

Hopefully me too

[tidal bough]

shit i had my ip in there

[serene falcon]

Np😇

[tidal bough]

crazy

732mbps

[serene falcon]

Yeah

[tidal bough]

824mbps peak

yo this new gateway is actually crazy

[serene falcon]

Mine peaks around 300mbps

[tidal bough]

lets see how long this j*b lasts

$1/hour!!

[gleaming shell]

this is making my 1.80 CPU container look small 😭

[gleaming shell]

ugh looks like a static ip is going to be a pain to get... ive heard customer support is terrible for my isp (large company try to have useful cs challenge impossible)

and im sure requesting a static ip so i can "run an app that uses my unused internet bandwidth for customers in exchange for money" surely doesnt sound convincing

[tidal bough]

just say you need to run a minecraft server or something

[gleaming shell]

id be glad if they even pick up the phone lol

or respond

What are benifits and disadvantages of static ip ?

[gleaming shell]

it really depends on your use case
but i guess the benefits are uhh, you can host sites and servers (if your isp is moral enough to allow that), dont have to deal with cgnat crap (sharing your ip with others), same ip address every time

disadvantages are maybe that static ips arent in the ddos protection for some isps, when ipissqualityscore ultiately screws over your ip it might be harder to get a new ip. you have to give your greedy isp more money for a static ip

[tidal bough]

demand is still on fire

first time hitting $4/last 24h with only bw sharing

[robust creek]

ehh not right here, just like every mornings

[mighty fractal]

i have noticed that here in italy the traffic more or less seems to die at midnight

[robust creek]

false

sometime lasts whole night

[robust creek]

sometimes dies at 1am, sometimes at 4-5 am

[mighty fractal]

oh sorry now that i look at it its a little bit differnt

i wonder what they are using our traffic for

[robust creek]

idk

[upbeat shuttle]

I've seen some vpns that charge based off the amount of data you use, i wonder if one(+) of them are a customer

[robust creek]

if they are residential ips. maybe

[mighty fractal]

mhh i'm not really a fan of the fact that my ip could be being used be a vpn company

[misty furnace]

They're contractually restricted to only being used for approved streaming services (from what I've been told)

[mighty fractal]

let's hope so

[misty furnace]

well, my source is jared and he's on top of things like this

[mighty fractal]

ok

[robust creek]

by monitoring the traffic they are not even doing streaming, i just see i'm downloading data from other residential ips and uploading to the salad server

[robust creek]

also traffic almost died completely to me rn

[robust creek]

traffic is back

now i see netlfix domains+ usual traffic being downloaded from other resi ips

[brittle bane]

wow what country are you from?

[tidal bough]

canada

[robust creek]

salad+other stuff i have is fully saturating my connection 😆 i've noticed some lag while browsing and wondered what happened

[misty furnace]

love to see it

[robust creek]

i hope salad clients won't be mad if some delays occurs because of upload being saturated

for now seems not

[misty furnace]

lightly elevated ping won't usually be an issue, but you don't want the connection to drop

[robust creek]

it doesn't drop under load

it just does some.. how was called

when your bw is saturated and the ping gets higher

[gleaming shell]

bufferbloat?

[robust creek]

yess

anyways traffic decreased now so..

[waxen pollen]

Does BW write to the storage device at all?

[upbeat shuttle]

bandwidth sharing doesn't write any data to disk

it goes straight to the sgs gateway

[robust creek]

you are just being used as a proxy/ vpn node

[robust creek]

nooo sgs died because salad itself logged off my account for some unknown reasons!?

i took the opportunity to update it too.. let's see if it comes back and if it will earn good

welcome back

[gleaming shell]

salad moment

[robust creek]

traffic came back instantly btw

(i mean, i don't know how much traffic i would have now, is not so high but not too bad either)

[robust creek]

ok yes it's back xd

[gleaming shell]

I have a feeling my IP quality really does kind of suck tbh...

Im running bandwidth sharing apps on two different IPs: my home internet IP, and my mobile data

Ive been noticing that Earnapp (which uses IPQS), has been ripping away at my mobile data bandwidth, sometimes even saturating it, way more than my home internet. Honeygain content delivery also seems very weak on my home internet. Content delivery should theoretically make up to 14.4 cents per day on my home internet IP, yet I average around 2-4 cents per day. I just got Content delivery on my mobile data aswell and earnings from content delivery instantly shot up by over triple in a day, over 14 cents now.

maybe my IP really is just bad at the end of the day, and thats why salads bandwidth sharing doesnt start

(for anyone unaware: yes, i know these apps screw over IPs, but the thing is I have nothing to lose. Every single IP in my block/area are all terrible. Ive gone through 4 different IP rotations now and all of them are just pinned at 100 fraud score on IPQS straight out the box for some reason. I cant get sgs client on any of them, and honeygain's content delivery's very weak earnings probably show aswell that my IP block is undesirable...)
