Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[upbeat shuttle]

got the same issue with my isp giving me shit ips too

i sent them a complaint about it

[gleaming shell]

if i knew before hand, i shouldve just went for the 500mbps plan and used that saved money for a static ip, rather than a 1gbps plan and have a bad ip(s)

yeah this was CD on my old ISP which salad unusually liked (would get sgs before librespeed even finished testing)

you can probably guesstimate that its more than 10 cents per day

and some days honeygain used over 60gb to 70gb in a day

now on my new isp it only uses like 3-7gb, id suspect its due to my ip being inferior to my old one

[gleaming shell]

i want to complain to my ISP as well, but from what ive seen, the customer support on my ISP is well... not the best... (not surprised as its a big isp, id be surprised if they even pick up the phone or bother doing anything)

the chances of me convincing them to give me a free static ip is like, basically zero. even then ill likely have to "lie" to them saying something like "i want a static ip so I can run a [game server] / [port forward]", since no way theyll accept a "I want a static IP so I can run an app that uses my internet bandwidth to make money since all your cgnat ips suck and you never put it in the fine print"

the team that sets up static IPs for customers are focused on the "business" side and not the "residential" side so its likely going to be even more time consuming and difficult to get a static ip

either way, if i could still go back to my old 500mbps isp, i would have gone for it... the IP quality was million times better on my old isp compared to whatever this ISP is, infested with terrible ips, they overprovisioned the bandwidth aswell, and overall ping was lower. Just the fact that whoever managed the pricing was high or some crap, since they increased it from 80 to 135 dollars per month and thats what caused the migration to this new isp i have, that well... has faster speeds and competitive price but worse in every other aspect

(not to mention my current ISP underprovisions the bandwidth... both wifi 6e and gigabit ethernet tops out at like 940mbps (my ethernet can do an actual full gigabit over lan)

the router they provided sucks aswell, theres no router login page...

[rough lance]

"the ip adreses you give me suck and i hate cgnat. giv new ip now or else!!!!!!"

[robust creek]

What should i say myself? I have the exact same ip since 2019, static and cannot change it, not even contacting them because they refused twice. I have to preserve its quality by using non destructive apps

[gleaming shell]

wow 6 years of a clean ip

thats some dedication

(maybe)

[robust creek]

no, i accidentally destroyed it once because of pawns app and honegain, i had to wait 6 months for it to clean up

[gleaming shell]

ahh

speaking of that, my first ever ip from my old isp is fully clean now lol

the other two however are still pinned, maybe it needs more time

i actually contacted ipqs about this ip twice and how it was falsely marked and i got ghosted both times lol^

[robust creek]

100? Rip

[upbeat shuttle]

turns out my isp transitioned all their customers over to cgnat

i sent them a complaint and they gave me a free static ip address

[gleaming shell]

moment

[gleaming shell]

I wish my ISP had that customer support

[gleaming shell]

Is it permanently free? Or is it a trial / you have to keep complaining every month/year

If you're not running a business and getting a (especially free) static IP here is basically almost zero and probably cancerous process

[upbeat shuttle]

idk

i'll see how long they feel like giving it to me

and then complain if it goes away

[gleaming shell]

if i remember someone on my isp did manage to get a free static ip, but it was years ago and maybe my isp was small at that time

now im hearing (atleast on reddit) the cancerious process of even getting a paid static ip for users that arent running a business (residental users)

theres no dedicated technician that provides static ips to residential users, so its super low priority, also not to mention the customer support has like hour long hold times

either way, you know your ISP is giving out some terrible IPs when even competitor apps are showing terrible earnings...

i have my laptop running the apps on my mobile data IP through tailscale, since these apps prefer my slow, higher latency mobile data over my 1 gigabit home internet that has a crappy ip

glad these apps dont have an app blocklist and only chcek for ip so it doesnt falsely detect my tailscale as a vpn

[gleaming shell]

oh wow my hp laptop is still on 24h2

[upbeat shuttle]

yucky yucky yucky windows just gave me the scary fullscreen multi-step popup trying to downgrade me to windows 11

NEVER

piss off 😭

I SAID NO

[gleaming shell]

💀

[void widget]

Bro that taskbar and tabs really wants me to pray for that PC,

[gleaming shell]

it gets worse than this actually

sometimes it overflows

[void widget]

No words for this man

Salute to your PC components

[gleaming shell]

cpu usage is surprisingly low

its mainly glasswire that takes up a majority

[gleaming shell]

lol same thing here on windows 11 I just got it

[civic fern]

And i thought my taskbar was bad already

[robust creek]

Wtf so much stuff

I hope you have at least 32gb ram

[civic fern]

ngl, that looks like an infected computer

if you don't know

[void widget]

Bro himself is an infection for his computer

[upbeat shuttle]

finally free from cgnat

probably gonna take a while to build the streak back up 😞

[void widget]

Wot ez CGNAT ?

[upbeat shuttle]

idk exactly how it works, but it stopped me from being able to use wireguard

My IP address was also seen as being in the US, but I think that was a separate issue from being on cgnat

[void widget]

Ok

[robust creek]

In a few words, multiple people has your exact same ip address in the same time

[void widget]

Ookeee

[robust creek]

This is 100% occuring while being connected to mobile data

But about home connection is odd, but can happen

Worst thing about it is that you can't open the ports 😅

[void widget]

ISp being crazy for money

[gleaming shell]

Literally my isp

[void widget]

Just same same but different

[gleaming shell]

Every IP they have is 90% chance of 100 IPQS, yet they still have the balls to charge customers 10 dollars a month per static IP (not to mention the process of getting a static IP for residential customers is cancerous)

And the cherry on top: the static IP isn't even in their ddos protection

[void widget]

What is that DJ role ?

[gleaming shell]

I think its something with music channels a while back

It does nothing from what I know

[void widget]

Okk

My bw earnings are 17 cents in last 24 hours

I am earning too much

[gleaming shell]

I'm back to earning like 6 to 7 cents per 24h

[void widget]

I wanted to buy Nitro, but my salad earnings told me not to

[gleaming shell]

am earning around 80 cents to a dollar on [competitor bandwidth sharing app], just a few days ago, and thats when i put my mobile data ip on it

wow my home internet IP sucks

[upbeat shuttle]

my ISP immediately gave me one for free

[gleaming shell]

w

[upbeat shuttle]

and then I actually lowered my price by recontracting lol

[gleaming shell]

ive heard others with my isp say the customer support took forever and it took them weeks just to get a static ip, and they didnt even do their sh right

[upbeat shuttle]

mann

[void widget]

If bw was a person, I would like to meet him surely

[upbeat shuttle]

i contacted my isp at 10pm and got a response at 8:30am the next day

[gleaming shell]

static ips are only provisioned by the business department of my isp so its just a very cancerious and low priority if it residential requests

[void widget]

The gateway they give is holycornball

[upbeat shuttle]

smaller ISPs ftw, they're much scrappier than the big ones, they'll do unnatural things to keep customers

[gleaming shell]

honestly i feel like my ISP is kinda struggling a bit... sure the price is pretty competitive (given my area) but every single ip is all completely screwed up, and theyre underprovisioning (the 1gbps plan has never actually met 1gbps, more over 940mbps)

[void widget]

What are rates of 1gbps plans in your region ?

[gleaming shell]

exactly what made me miss my old isp
it was a more local ISP, the customer support was very fast on giving me a new IP, SGS client started before libresheit even finished testing. It was genuinely a very good ISP, hell they didnt even log and track what you do... Unfoerunately the pricing manager increased the monthly price of a 500mbps plan to 135 dollars a month... it was unsustainable so I had to migrate to this crappier ISP

[gleaming shell]

unironically, exactly $67.67 dollars per month

i know funny number

[upbeat shuttle]

WHHAAHHAWHAHWHWHAHHHAHAHHAHHHA

[void widget]

Omg

[void widget]

What is meaning of ozua ?

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm now paying £35/mo ($46) for gigabit symmetrical with a static ip

[gleaming shell]

i wanna downgrade to 500mbps and use the saved money for a static IP, but im sure my chronically online brother wouldnt approve it

[void widget]

My region have same prices, but they give speed limits after 1tb usage

[upbeat shuttle]

rip

I've got no data cap

I'd blast through any kind of data cap so quickly lol

[void widget]

And prices are high if we try to ignore data cap

[void widget]

https://tenor.com/view/no-reply-talk-to-the-wall-wand-reden-keine-antwort-gif-14846304

[gleaming shell]

my mobile data got unlimited data. I'll use the unlimited data

(11 days in the renewal cycle)

[void widget]

In my country, unlimeted data also gets limited

[upbeat shuttle]

i was checking out some unlimited data sims, and it turned out "unlimited" to them actually meant like 500gb a month

[void widget]

My country does the same, but number is lowered to 300

[gleaming shell]

my mobile data claims to throttle my speeds after 50gb usage, but I personally don't notice a thing

Still ripping away at speeds even after 800gb data usage

(playing with local ai without home Internet lol)

had to put my phone in the freezer every once in a while or it'll overheat and switch to 4g

[granite umbra]

Where are you located?

[fossil onyx]

I earned nothing since 3 days. Don’t know what happened. Tried to reinstall, not better

[blazing slate]

how does salad even know if youre on a cgnat network or not?

[fossil onyx]

Is there a reason to have 0 earnings since 3 days ? Machine last seen. Long time ago , however my machine is online…..

[robust creek]

They could be doing traceroute to check i think

[fossil onyx]

@robust creek do you know?

[robust creek]

It's pure assumption, i have no idea

[fossil onyx]

If chopping is on going and all hardware on it should be ok? Or a reboot , reinstall , whatever should help ?

[robust creek]

Explain better whats your concernings 🤔

[tidal bough]

canada

[gleaming shell]

regambling an IP address again, this is absurd

i dont even have getting sgs-client as a priority anymore (not that its any good in the us to begin with), i just atleast want an IP good enough where competitor apps can atleast cover while my salad is in its annual depression

ive never had an IP quality(ies) so bad that all the bandwidth sharing apps are seeing it as undesirable

Just PLEASE gods at [censored ISP name] GIVE ME A DIFFERENT IP RANGE THAT ISNT SO BAD

[upbeat shuttle]

[gleaming shell]

ever since the internet got provisioned for the first time to now (which is my 5th IP reset), every single one of them have been terrible quality

also why do these mfs charge a whole 10 dollars per month for a static ip

my old ISP which had even less IPs (but they were good ones so no need for a static ip), was only 5 dollars per month

[gleaming shell]

bet they still probably spy on customers and not even in the ddos protection

[gleaming shell]

AND I GOT THE CRAPPY IP RANGE AGAIN

can it not give me anything else

im not wanting to give this isp any more money, especially if its for a reason like this. Also they cant even provision the speeds up to what is advertised

[robust creek]

what the heck

[gleaming shell]

fifth IP rotation now and all them them are from the same balls ip block with every IP just completely screwed over

[robust creek]

can you give me one of those ips they gave you in dms?

[gleaming shell]

sgs client doesnt start, honeygain content delivery is super weak, honeygain gathering is weak, its all terrible

[gleaming shell]

sure

really hoped I would get sgs client within minutes after my internet was provisioned like what happened with my old ISP, now here I am trying and failing to atleast even get an IP that isnt screwed over out the box :(

[robust creek]

probably they just dont need usa ips now

[gleaming shell]

static IP is 10 dollars a month and thats just going to tank a huge chunk of my earnings

[gleaming shell]

could be
though I was always able to get sgs client even before librespeed finished testing back on my old isp, could easily get sgs client on 4 devices

either way

us bandwidth on salad isnt known to be the best (and hasnt for a while)

[robust creek]

on other apps should be the best

[gleaming shell]

i have a feeling other apps are also hating my ISP's IP, because as soon as I put my mobile data IP on to honeygain (actually good ip), the earnings instantly shot up

oh well

for now im just going to hold off on getting a static ip until salads bandwidth sharing in the US is guaranted to be profitable

[robust creek]

in 2021 the top earning countries on passive income apps were USA, japan and germany. uk only on some apps

[gleaming shell]

or i can try complaining to my isp for the hopes of a free static ip but 99% im gonna be talking to a brick wall

[gleaming shell]

yeah its very different for salad for some reason lol

on salad the us is one of the more "inferior" countries

hell we dont even have static pay here (not that other apps do tho)

[robust creek]

salad=streaming
other apps: data scraping, shoes scraping and pokemon cards scraping

[gleaming shell]

^that too

[robust creek]

in 2022 salad italy was surviving only with static pay

[gleaming shell]

anyways yeah, not getting sgs client on this ip, as I expected

[gleaming shell]

right lol

[robust creek]

in 2023 too but there was a cut, it wasn't 0,80 a day anymore but was 0,50 and then 0,20

getting sgs was very hard and you needed a 100mbps connection upload

[gleaming shell]

I somehow got SGS client instantly on my very old ISP with 42ms ping, 16mbps upload

Yet now I can't get it on 12ms ping, 1000mbps both ways

Mostly because of IP quality

With my ISP options right now, I'm stuck with terrible technology vs terrible prices vs terrible IP and provisioning

[robust creek]

I doubt ping is an issue, it doesn't affect streaming

They should not care

[gleaming shell]

yeah I got SGS client with like 370ms of ping before

tailscale goated

I can now run apps on my mobile data on my home computers even when I'm away

also finally a reliable hotspot throttling bypass method, pairvpn kept killing itself and it was only one connection at a time and it didn't work remotely

lol I've used up 276gb of mobile data this renewal (12 days in)

[robust creek]

what you dong with that

[gleaming shell]

funny bandwidth sharing apps lol

I got unlimited data so I'll use it

[robust creek]

i hope not scamgain content delivery

[gleaming shell]

good or bad, it is lol

well

Some of it is content delivery but also general use from non bandwidth sharing apps

[robust creek]

..they was using 100gb a day and paying 0,06$ in exchange

[gleaming shell]

lol

[gleaming shell]

oh wtf im running 2 mobile data ips rn

i have 2 devices running on my mobile data, and the bandwidth sharing apps arent conflicting with each other

yeah the ipv4's are different

i guess ill have 3 ips total running these apps

oh man the ips just renewed, its the same again

[void widget]

@gleaming shell is earn app profitable?

Salad is giving me 22 to 23 cents per day now

So should I use earn along side ?

[waxen pollen]

Does bw need windows to be updated? or can the OS be a year out of date and salad BW still work fine?

[upbeat shuttle]

it'll be fine

[waxen pollen]

nice, lite OS it is then

[tidal bough]

$5.36 from bw, now only if salad worked with 2 ips or more I might just upgrade to 3gbps

[gleaming shell]

In the us yeah, other countries no

And regardless of where you live in, earnapp is scammy and abuses you with it's stupid "pay per time" model

[void widget]

Ok

[mighty fractal]

can i bw share on multiple pcs on the same network?

[upbeat shuttle]

You can run as many PCs as there are gateways in your country ^^

[mighty fractal]

oh great, so does salad assign a different gateway to each device or is it a manual process?

[upbeat shuttle]

it's automatic

[civic fern]

i tried that but, it disconnected my main pc to feed the same gateway to a crappier laptop :c

[tidal bough]

and bw completely shits itself with the switching with 3 or more pcs

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah it likes sometimes stealing gateways from other pcs

rerolling is always a risk if another pc is doing good bw

[upbeat shuttle]

i love saying this and then it immediately happening to me

i tried rerolling and ended up just swapping gateways between pcs, losing their streak that'll take some days to build back up again

[pulsar arrow]

nerd

getting symmetrical gig soon, might hop back on this for shits and giggles

[gleaming shell]

no way it's you!!!!!

[civic fern]

the thing is, i don't reroll, i just wait for the other gateway to stick onto the other laptop/pc

meanwhile, after days of nothing, it decides to randomly steal the gateway on the main machine

man

[void widget]

Can I run bw sharing on 4 gb ram and intel 13 5005u cpu ?

@gleaming shell

[upbeat shuttle]

bandwidth sharing would probably run fine on that

just make sure you've debloated windows and paused updates ofc

[pulsar arrow]

it is i

[void widget]

Okk

Thanks

[void widget]

I got a free desktop pc (inbuilt mobo), so I think to utilise it with salad

Just installing atlas os

[robust creek]

📉 i knew there would be an end

now earnings are slowly returning normal

[void widget]

is 120 mbps down and 67 mbps upload enough for getting sgs ?

[upbeat shuttle]

that's fast enough

[void widget]

ok

i am waiting for sgs from last hour

and sgs is not even downloaded in _download folder @upbeat shuttle

[gleaming shell]

ngl i wish bandwidth sharing apps had a bit more information about your queue position or your eligibility to recieve "content-delivery" jobs in a timely manner

theres people on salad that have not gotten sgs client in several months, even over a year, and same with Honeygain, content delivery on that is stuck on "in queue" for an eternity

like maybe a few days or weeks is reasonable, but i feel like theres definitely something going on when a user doesnt get it and is stuck in the so called apparent "queue" for eternity, when a user with a worse connection can get such workloads instantly

like, maybe show the user factors like ip quality or something, or a demand monitor, or really any sort of metric that shows their position in queue or how likely they are to get it working based on location, speeds, and ip score

with salad bandwidth sharing and honeygain's content delivery, some users are just stuck with no extra information except for "in queue" or "its enabled" even tho it does nothing for eternity, despite a fast connection, it could be their ip score or really anything, but the user doesnt know

[robust creek]

came back a little

[empty hinge]

i'm in a weird situation the website ipqs that reviews my ipv6 adress shows its score is 0
but a website name ipscore thats reviewing my ipv4 and its 100/100 🙂

[empty hinge]

🙂 you should also check ur ip score then

[void widget]

100 on a ipscore website ?

where to check for real scores ?

[gleaming shell]

you could search up "IP blacklist checker" and throw your IP in some of those sites

Or you could do the terrible decision of paying for an ipqs plan so you get a score that isn't a complete RNG

Unfortunately even if other sites show your IP as clean, many services rely on ipqualityscore

[empty hinge]

ipqs?? then ig u cooked cuz salad prolly uses tht score only

[empty hinge]

i was scrolling through various ip sites XD and i found something

[robust creek]

Which site is this

[void widget]

@gleaming shell my salad is not even downloading on new low end pc

what could be the reason ?

i am already using bw on a laptop on same wifi

is that stoping bw on my pc ?

[empty hinge]

https://ipscore.io/

idk wether the score is legit or not i was just going through random websites

[dim pier]

https://ip-score.com/ this legit if you need

[empty hinge]

what's not downloading the sgs or salad

[empty hinge]

oh i checked with tht one according to tht i'm cooekd

[dim pier]

if you do BW sharing yup

it is what it is

[empty hinge]

100/100 🙂 wish i got them in my tests

[dim pier]

do you do any other bw sharing outside of salad?

[empty hinge]

💀 i have used honeygain in the past but once monke mentioned that it sucks so i yeeted it off like long time ago

[dim pier]

presonally i dont have BW sharing with salad so idk how it works there.
but i do use honeygain (free money with no cost at gpu power or anything so....) and i also get high fraud score.... i had couple of vps services even block me

[empty hinge]

loll

ya thats what monke said honeygain will ruin your ip score

[dim pier]

if cops dont come to my house im fine with it

[robust creek]

You will get captchas and cannot do surveys anymore

And youtube will ask you to sign in to an account to watch videos

Google might ask captchas when searching stuff

[robust creek]

When i was using honeygain i got ipbanned from paypal

Salad has used a ton of traffic this month, but my ip is as clean as it was before, so i can say salad is safe 100%

[void widget]

Sgs

[empty hinge]

sgs will only download when needed

but if you running bw sharing on another pc on same wifi maybe the wifi is not a problem afterall
ran out of luck 🙂

[dim pier]

youtube did not do shit yet.
i do get some auto completed captchas, but not that many only for cloudflare which sucks ass anyways

i have no BW sharing with salad

ip bans dont scare me cause i can easily switch ip, and i dont really use paypal so we good

[misty furnace]

I booted up a windows vm at home and got like 9 different gateways within a week

hadn't used salad on the ip for ~6 months

[empty hinge]

🙂 deyummmm

[robust creek]

I have static ip and isp refuses to change it

[granite steppe]

@gleaming shell @empty hinge got any sgs?

[dim pier]

oh damn, if i were in that position i wouldn't use it as well probably

[robust creek]

funny how usually static ip is a service you pay extra to get, but in my isp instead is mandatory and cannot get dynamic or ip change.

[empty hinge]

🙂 nope

[granite steppe]

knew it but still asked

[gleaming shell]

nope :(

[empty hinge]

yours running

?

[robust creek]

My traffic has completely died for some reasons

[pulsar arrow]

woo

@gleaming shell how's your earnings in the US now

[gleaming shell]

not the best news lmao

about 6 months ago bandwidth sharing in the US became complete crap, and still is to this day: there are at least 10 dead jobless gateways in the US, with none having static pay, 3 of which arent even located in this country

but that part doesnt even matter anymore, because I recently switched ISPs after my old isp decided to become greedy and increase the price of a 500mbps plan to 135 dollars per month, and I can confidently say that even though this new ISP i have is 1gbps at 70 dollars per month, it sucks, the IP quality is awful and I cant get sgs client to start no matter what, Other apps are also hating this IP as honeygain content delivery is very weak as well as the gathering

[pulsar arrow]

damn, and how's UK been

[gleaming shell]

still ripping along lol

like it always has been

[pulsar arrow]

lmao

I stopped cause I had less than 70mbit down and 20 up

now I'm gigabit

[gleaming shell]

I want to get a static IP but I

1. dont want to spend any more money on these ISPs because they cant bother giving customers good IPs
2. US bandwidth isnt good enough and its definitely not worth for me to get a static ip right now

for now im running other apps

[pulsar arrow]

does static IP help a ton?

[gleaming shell]

well, the main reason why I cant get sgs client is because how bad my ip reputation is, maybe a static ip can help

since its non cgnat

[pulsar arrow]

fair

[gleaming shell]

idk, like 95% of all the IPs in my ip range are all really bad quality

[pulsar arrow]

sads

[pulsar arrow]

fake, lists mine as business

[upbeat shuttle]

ipqualityscore would be the only fake ip score i'd bother looking at

[gleaming shell]

same lol

shows fraud score as 10

other site shows it as fully clean

regardless, i have no idea what drugs ipqualityscore is on for it to show 95% of all the IPs in my ip range as 100 fraud score, proxy, and bot activity

[empty hinge]

ahh thanks for info

[empty hinge]

🙂 according to ipqs i got an ip rep of 27

XD and for other sites its 100

[granite steppe]

nope how will i get if im not even running salad

im out of hope

please donate hope

[empty hinge]

sending hopes

[civic fern]

It's so joever

fun while it lasted

[robust creek]

yep, if there is a big spyke, it always ends quickly, at least there are some spykes and is not flat down like it was before with 0,20/0,40$ a day

[gleaming shell]

got a new ip and of course like usual, ipissqualityscore instantly had it preshot up to 100 fraud score, bot activity and proxy

amazing isp and amazing site

and of course, no sgs client, honeygain cd earnings weak, pawns.app earnings weak

mobile data IP that has way higher ping and worse speeds is still more desirable (except for salad since sgs client isnt starting on anything for some reason)

[empty hinge]

Will the sgs gods bless me

btw is sgs in any way effected by the dns

[misty furnace]

sometimes yea. if you're concerned, use 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4

[empty hinge]

💀 so they good or not

[gleaming shell]

(probably not) 💀

well who knows

[empty hinge]

they didnt

🙂

[gleaming shell]

im only confident about a clean ip only if ipissqualityscore shows my ip score as 0, on the strictest settings

weirdly, I have 3 IPs that are compatible with salad, yet I cant get sgs client on a single one of them lmao

but also, 2 of the IPs are just completely BS'ed and my last ip is my mobile data ip

which is semi bsed but atleast the apps prefer it the most, despite it being the least stable and slowest

[dim pier]

could it be that salad added more countries to the list without updating it?
https://support.salad.com/article/295-bandwidth-sharing-quick-troubleshooting-guide

or here https://support.salad.com/article/996-getting-bandwidth-sharing-jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

countries gain and lose bandwidth sharing customers over time, so any list of 'supported countries' will likely be somewhat out of date inevitably

[dim pier]

so ig any advanced"modern" countries can get BW sharing even if they are not listen anywhere?

[robust creek]

basically, yes

[robust creek]

omg so much traffic on salad today, it's back

[gleaming shell]

meanwhile my [competitor bandwidth app] killed itself again and doesnt know what to do after that so it sits there not even attempting to reconnect

truly a daycare

im not home so i cant fix it

leave a daycare unattended then the babies will eventually die

or some fight will break out causing a chain reaciton of multiple

[robust creek]

last time i seen 4$ last 24h was a week ago

[upbeat shuttle]

i love this app and its stupid ability to steal gateways from other pcs

WHY IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE

[gleaming shell]

literally

why interrupt something already running for the same thing

[gleaming shell]

Also does this stupid gateway swapping thing where if SGS client dies on one machine for any reason, it causes SGS on other machines to get interrupted and swap with each other
*Coming from my experience

Also can we please have a proper speed testing solution

Also can we please have a proper speed testing solution

I'm in a loop of librespeed killing itself mid upload, choosing a server all the way in Italy (I'm in Midwest US), or a combo of both

No clue how one of my messages double sent

[tardy swan]

Also can we please have a proper speed testing solution

[upbeat shuttle]

Also can we please have a proper speed testing solution

[robust creek]

To me is working more than fine so far, speedtest performed on germany servers

[fossil onyx]

Nothing in France since days ….

[civic fern]

The soup is cold and the salad is hot. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!?

[robust creek]

woah reached another level today, new record

[void widget]

Should I share u that photo or guess the reply?

[empty hinge]

any possible way tht librecrap uses my ipv6 instead of ipv4

[gleaming shell]

there is a command line argument for ipv6 but unfortunately modifying the argument file would be "against salad tos" ||(we wouldnt have to modify in the first place if salad used an actually good and reliable speedtesting software)||.

I wouldnt see why users wouldnt be allowed to modify the ndm.yaml tho. Librespeed is terrible and unreliable, choosing custom arguments might be the way sometimes

and i dont see any possible way people could "fake" their speedtests with the ndm.yaml alone

even then, salad doesnt even care about your latest speedtest in terms of determining whether you get sgs or not^

[empty hinge]

T_T wait really

ahhhhh

gotta live without sgs then

[granite steppe]

so much pain in this line.... 💔

[waxen pollen]

In the last 24hrs 🥺

Almost $28

[robust creek]

you?

[waxen pollen]

yep

[robust creek]

bw only?

[waxen pollen]

yep

Not just a single device ofc. Many many.

[robust creek]

but salad?

[waxen pollen]

yeah only salad bw

I found that per GB of ram. UK BW payout was better. Compared with containers at it's best.

It uses a hella less power to boot too

96GBs (Even if 65GBs is the most i've seen a container use in recent times) of ram at $6.20 in 24hrs at most is $0.1548 per GB.
UK BW makes between $1/3 in 24hrs normally and each device has 2GBs of ram.

That $28 over 52 devices with 2GBs of ram each. With space to double it at the least = a good deal for salad and a good deal for myself

Though there is extra costs on top of that to (About $30 a month) Plus 5Gig internet costing £72, or $96 a month. Still way better than containers and more consistent.

But i share too much 😄

If only i could do all this on a single account though. Salad, please hurry up and fix the 5 BW devices per account. Please i beg of you. 🥺

[gleaming shell]

my salad is earning worse than some of the worst other apps 😭

cpu containers are balls rn (they always have been but this time more balls than usual)

im crypto mining only for heat, but since salad is so sensitive to cpu mining i cant run salad along with it or the app will break

[gleaming shell]

I just want my old ISP with their old competitive pricing back, and us bandwidth back when it was just og daffodil and dandelion with an abundance of jobs

For some reason I can't just request a static IP using a form as well. I have to go through cancerous customer "support" just to maybe get a static IP I'll get charged for. This larger ISP doesn't seem to care about customers as much

The router they provided sucks balls (hell you can't even access the login page), and for some reason they charge MONTHLY for WIFI EXTENDERS

[robust creek]

what the hell?? wow uk 2.0 indeed @gleaming shell @civic fern

today is festive day in here, that's probably why i think

[empty hinge]

Guys whats this failed to start container environment error -2

unable to fix after restarting

[upbeat shuttle]

idk

#community-support message might help

[empty hinge]

thanks

[upbeat shuttle]

(i linked a message in community support that has info that might help)

[gleaming shell]

boutta flee from the us and my infestation of crappy isps in my area💀

[upbeat shuttle]

come to the uk we've got

• good bw
• a government that also hates us
• ...

[gleaming shell]

ill just buy a super long ethernet cable that spans across oceans and countries

i have noclue whether its my bad ip thats causing me to not get sgs or if my account itself is blacklisted in some way ngl\

id still assume its the crap ISP i have but at the same time ive had no luck with a datacenter ip, and my mobile data ip aswell

[plucky vigil]

If ur using bw whats the best settings for it like do i turn off gpu cpu ?

[upbeat shuttle]

there's no 'best settings' for bandwidth sharing

[plucky vigil]

Oh

[upbeat shuttle]

anything can run alongside it

just run it for as long as possible :)

[plucky vigil]

Mk

[gleaming shell]

"just run it for as long as possible"
im sure thats not gonna happen given its a passive income app 💀

it is guaranteed to die when youre away

[plucky vigil]

The first 130 hours i did was only 1 dollar

But like now recently i get 1 dollar a day

So like

Idk

[upbeat shuttle]

it can be a hit or a miss sometimes

if you're earning really low for like idk 5+ hours, you could try restarting the app

[robust creek]

Moving country just to get better bw sharing is clearly not a good idea XD

Uk too.. pls no

[gleaming shell]

the us is also getting clanker age verification now

oh the clanker yag bot doesnt reply here

i can say clanker all i want

google thinks im under 18 now and im sure as hell not giving clankers anything or google anything to verify my age

i dont know why so many companies are doing this clanker age verification bs anymore, i dont think its effective and all it does is collect sensitive info from people

[upbeat shuttle]

i disabled it

joke became overdone

[civic fern]

true, hopefully that's not the reason.

[gleaming shell]

my mobile data has ipv6 support (and has had it for a while)

yet my isp (that is now a part of t mobile) doesnt have ipv6 support 💀

[empty hinge]

thnks for that bro

[empty hinge]

I do have ipv6 support but remember i said librespeed only uses the ipv4 and probably the score of tht same ip only

I tried running a speedtest after disabling ipv4 and it was throwin errors

[upbeat shuttle]

bandwidth sharing itself also only uses ipv4

[civic fern]

where the hell did you pull out 7.6$ in a day from @robust creek?

[robust creek]

it decreased now

[civic fern]

ye but

why is mine half of that

Oh yeah i know someone with autism in uk has a very very good disability benefit, he doesn't only live a good life but is also full of money he can spend in games and expensive computer parts

Kinda envy..

[mighty fractal]

what's your gateway? for some reason i've only been earning 1 euro per day with a fast connetion @robust creek

[robust creek]

The new one, i don't have the name in hands and i'm not home now

[mighty fractal]

is the new one sgs-orchid-gateway.salad.com?

or am i using the old one

[robust creek]

No its old

[waxen pollen]

So you have Autism instead and they get to have a neurotypical life. Pretty sure most people would be begging to have their lives back.
The most vulnerable in life should also have the right to have the same (or as close as) standard/quality of life as everyone else.

Not an attack on you, just a statement 🙃

[mighty fractal]

oh that's why i'm only earning 1 per day

[pulsar arrow]

will i get the 7-9 dollars a day i used to get like 2 years ago 🥺

[robust creek]

📉 more and more down

[granite steppe]

atleast ur gettin smth buddy

[dim pier]

is there a way to know if im doing BW sharing rn or nah? ethernet seems to work without anything in the background but dont see anything in task manager

[robust creek]

if you see sgs running then you are sharing

oh traffic is coming back

[dim pier]

didnt see sgs but my traffic was like that

[upbeat shuttle]

shit vegetable app logged itself out on me

[gleaming shell]

"keep your app running 24/7 for mazimized profits" -[passive income app name]

[upbeat shuttle]

should call them active income apps instead

WHY DO YOU EVEN EXIST

STOP EXISTING

[gleaming shell]

LITERALLY

I'm better off getting a job at a daycare center because it's literally the exact same thing except you get paid a million times more

[opal galleon]

bandwidth sharing is possible on ipv6 too

when i used it, i used to out —ipv6 in the args and it used to connect me to sgs gateway with ipv6

ndm args yes

[upbeat shuttle]

librespeed != bandwidth sharing

[opal galleon]

wat

[misty furnace]

^ I've seen it use ipv6 multiple times, even for the gateway. Might be different here in the US

[opal galleon]

could be unless they all use the same provider

if they use the same provider then ipv6 works everywhere

[robust creek]

I heard ipv6 arrived in my country too but the adoption is slowed down compared to other countries, i think i will never have it myself

[pulsar arrow]

[civic fern]

thanks :D

[rare shuttle]

hello

how much i can earn from BANDWIDTH sharing

[upbeat shuttle]

it's impossible to predict bandwidth sharing earnings

the only way to know how much you'll earn is to try it and see

[civic fern]

from 10cents per day, to... well, lots, depending on how it goes

[rare shuttle]

i started using salad today

[civic fern]

that IF the sgs-client is actually running

[rare shuttle]

and some guy gave me little knowledge about bw and sgs client

so i can already see est earnings of next hour

it shows 0.10 for next hour

is it good ?

[civic fern]

I mean... it exists, at least

wait

0.10 for next hour?

my bad, that's... good actually

it is doing something indeed

[upbeat shuttle]

0.10 what? 0.1 cents? 0.1 dollars? 0.1 bitcoin?

[civic fern]

my definition of good may be different for other people

[civic fern]

tbh i assumed 0.10$ per hour

lol

[rare shuttle]

0.10$

and it gone down now

but i have 1gbps internet

@void widget this guy said i can earn more with that speed

[civic fern]

yes but, in the end, it's not up to you, really. It depends on the current demands of the services making use of it.

[void widget]

yes u can mate

[rare shuttle]

i see

[civic fern]

all that you can truly do is have a good connection, like the gigabit you just said

[rare shuttle]

okk

means it depends on demand

[civic fern]

yup

[gleaming shell]

can librespeed stop killing itself like 1/3 into the upload test

like, either end the speedtest or atleast stop putting in 0.00mbps into the average

also on my isps terms and conditions n shi they mentioned that they collect info such as browsing data, cookies, and other stuff for "marketing, fraud prevention, and analytics"...

reasonable

[upbeat shuttle]

i wonder if this is part of why librespeed is so shit

[void widget]

in just one day ?

[upbeat shuttle]

some pcs running salad might effectively be functioning like a constant ddos attack because the shitty app can bug out and constantly run speed tests

[void widget]

happens to me sometime

any solutions ?

[upbeat shuttle]

i just ended the saladbowl process in task manager, that'll probably fix it

the pc restarted for no reason, so salad wasn't even running and it was spamming these speed tests

[void widget]

ok, i just restart my PC but that problem continues sometimes

[upbeat shuttle]

:(

[void widget]

ok, the problem is solved

thanks cool green role

open it

what that file contains

[void widget]

C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads

go to these location, does it contains any SGS client file ?

[void widget]

@upbeat shuttle why he have trex instead of sgs

just give me 2 mins buddy

[left dragon]

Take your time.

[steady fjord]

anyone here who uses something other than salad for bandwidth sharing?

[void widget]

u can use Earn app

[void widget]

wait

[steady fjord]

no its crap

doesnt even pay per gb now, its all on uptime

which apps actually pays the most in india

[void widget]

C:\ProgramData\Salad

go to this and open config.txt

see what it says about bandwidth

it should be true

[upbeat shuttle]

It'll download sgs client when they get a bandwidth sharing job for the first time, so they just haven't gotten a bandwidth sharing job yet.
@left dragon You should check the pinned posts in this channel for the minimum requirements

bro earn actually give 5 dollars per month and its on up all time and patience is the main thing in life man

Man i use my laptop a lot just leave it on.

And never use it get me.

[void widget]

u can use earn as salad will not work for u

[left dragon]

Is there other applications similar?

Bandwidth sharing.

I know one it's the bee thingy but it takes a lot of time for just 20 dollars.

[void widget]

u are talking about honeygain right ?

[steady fjord]

you can switch to jumptask within honeygain, it has a minimum cashout of 0.5$

[left dragon]

Yeah

[void widget]

dumbas* app

earn is better

and gives u more than honey

[civic fern]

@robust creek

holy shit

[robust creek]

oh its coming back

not much

[void widget]

i thought the game was gone

[waxen pollen]

You realise bw traffic spikes at certain times of the day and then drops for the rest of the day. It does that most days. You really don't need to keep saying it's coming back lol BW works like that. Unless demand has dropped entirely that is

UK BW demand surges around 6pm till after midnight.

[robust creek]

when people don't work and don't sleep

but sometimes there is traffic all day long

except for mornings

[waxen pollen]

Na most likely the surges in UK bw demand is from US traffic hitting the UK network for what ever reason. Or is at least my hypothesis

Most companies in the UK are closed by 6pm

[gleaming shell]

when uk has more connections to usa ips than the us does itself 💀

[robust creek]

Traffic was pretty low today here 🤷‍♂️

[wooden harness]

In short:
I have a 1Gbps symmetric internet connection at home (both download and upload), and I run a homelab with several servers and VMs.
I've noticed that bandwidth sharing only happens on two devices.
Is this because Salad's algorithm determines that two devices are sufficient for my available bandwidth, or could there be another reason?

[waxen pollen]

Don;t think salad works like that. Though there is a bug where you can only add upto 5 BW devices on a single account at a time.
One i face anyways.

[wooden harness]

Only bandwidth sharing

[waxen pollen]

likely your location only has 2 gateways and they only allow one per gateway

[wooden harness]

It seems to randomly pick two devices at any given time. If I stop those two, it switches to another two. So it's not always the same devices — just always limited to two.

I should try setting up a subnet with a different public IP on Proxmox and see what happens. Has anyone already tested this?

[waxen pollen]

Are they the game gateways all the time?

Go to your logs where it will tell you what your current and past gateways are

Like so

[wooden harness]

I only have two... now I understand. Is this a limitation with no workaround?

[void widget]

its not like the more numbers the better earnings

its just different gateways given to you when u restart to kill it

[wooden harness]

So the only way is to have multiple public IPs and lots of bandwidth.

[void widget]

Just good isp and speed

[gleaming shell]

except ive been earning like abysmally low

idk how salad distributes the bandwidth jobs

i can get sgs client to start instantly with 300+ping, and speeds in the tens
yet i cant get sgs to start ever on 12ms ping, 1gbps

[void widget]

Same

[gleaming shell]

salad has mentioned they dont use ipqs to determine ip quality

but idk what other factor it could be

[wooden harness]

That's what I'm trying to figure out.
It could be more profitable.

[gleaming shell]

idk what causes them to determine a users ip is inferior, like what service they use

[steady fjord]

how much do you get per gb

i get $0.007 per gb

less than a cent

[winter latch]

the rate per gb is very bad but atleast it gives something

[steady fjord]

[winter latch]

i also dont have unlimited data

but it gives me 5x more than other apps all combined

[winter latch]

thats a lot btw

i dont even get $2 for 600gb usage

💀

[steady fjord]

which country?

[winter latch]

india

[void widget]

Same

[granite steppe]

i used to get $2.1 for 1.2tb usage

[steady fjord]

539gb for $4.11

[granite steppe]

when and where?

[steady fjord]

last 2 days, india

[granite steppe]

nahh

that cant happen

[robust creek]

Here traffic died even further instead

[visual grail]

💀 Why do I feel this is a scam

Am I the only who gets 1.5$ for like 200gb usage

Actually lesser than 200gb

I am in Indian subcontinent

[visual grail]

True, but there's this one issue I have understood, there's a lot of people, the government faces issues managing a lot of them at once, because of which the educated people here don't try, and just flee to the west

And what's left is mostly the people who are getting higher education, and people who truly care for their country and lastly the people who don't know civic sense

This is what I have understood

I have lived here for a lot of time genuinely, and these are my personal deductions

[void widget]

at last, there is just one problem in INDIA,

the DIRTY politics

[visual grail]

💀 I prefer to not talk about it

[void widget]

we just need 1 govt

like CHINA

[visual grail]

The issue isn't having 1 government or more or less, the issue is Black Money

MLAs and MPs rush to get seats, so they could get some hand on black money, and not focus on development

If everyone works together

It works

If everyone doesn't work together

It doesn't work

Which is already going on 💀

[void widget]

if only govt becomes strict, there is no isssue

[visual grail]

We need a bit of authoritarian system, I know this sounds wild and something which has happened in History before, but the government needs to be extremely strict, in my opinion, and that's what I meant by authoritarian in this context

*I do not mean anything regarding World wars here

[void widget]

yeah

just a Strict govt and police which public fears

[visual grail]

India has the longest constitution?

Ya, That's only with half the ram i could install.

But not paying £1100 for another 128Gigs

[misty furnace]

fr

[waxen pollen]

Yeah, not even in stock anymore. So couldn't even if i could justify it. Which i couldn't.

The shipping was an extra £150 too last i saw it on sale 😩

[robust creek]

traffic coming back?

[fossil onyx]

Config ?

[waxen pollen]

?

[tidal bough]

Is this with multiple accounts? AFAIK they still didn’t fix the bandwidth bug

I’m scared of getting banned if I make multiple accounts so I guess I will have to deal with the bug

Interesting, I still don’t have many emails to spare lol

When (if) they fix the bug, I’m gonna invest in more ips

[waxen pollen]

Yeah, im kinda mixed as i wanna help others do well. But also the more that do it the less i get lol

As you know someones gonna go stupid hard on it

Though you can have (from what i've heard) upwards of 100 GPUs on a single account though

[tidal bough]

Yeah on my current plan my isp offers 2 IPs, so I want to put them into use

[waxen pollen]

whats your location?

[tidal bough]

Vancouver Canada

[waxen pollen]

Do you know how many gateways it has?

[tidal bough]

There are 5 but only 2 have traffic

[waxen pollen]

ah same as the uk then.

i have 4 devices per ip, covers most gateways so i'm not having to stop and start all the time to find the best gateways

[tidal bough]

I’m running 2 vms attached to different interfaces under 1 host

[waxen pollen]

Also helps having 5gig broadband 😅

[waxen pollen]

what app you using? Proxmox, HyperV, VmWare?

[tidal bough]

Proxmox

[waxen pollen]

ahh same

only recently started using it though

was using HyperV before

[tidal bough]

I need more ram to run more vms, but we all know how much that is gonna cost

[waxen pollen]

Ended up buying an AM5 PC too 😅

[waxen pollen]

ha yeah. I got super lucky when i brought my AM5 pc, Ram cost me £400, a month later it cost £800, it's now not even being sold (128Gigs) and was last going for £1000 plus shipping

[tidal bough]

I bought a ryzen mini pc to run proxmox on a few months ago, around $290 with 16gb ddr5

[misty furnace]

that's the price of just the ram these days

nah man wtf

I was joking

[gleaming shell]

would be very bad if my school bought all these thinkstation p3 tinys (32gb ddr5 i forgot the speed but either way) at this time

i think they changed the pcs over the summer

^atleast now they used the funds for more useless shelves and tvs in the cafeteria that wont even be used!!!!

[visual grail]

Yk i got like 64 gigs in my system

I'm planning to bag some cash genuinely

Selling those is a 500$ profit in here as well

500$ is a lot of cash honestly

I would just buy back the 64 gigs ram once the price falls down

💀 Gonna have a "ramless" pc for the time being if I do sell it

I did not expect ram shortage before gpu shortage even peaking

[robust creek]

250$ for 16gb of ram? wth

[sharp stream]

what is the bandwidth bug?

yo wsg ozua

[upbeat shuttle]

RAM prices aren't dropping any time soon

[sharp stream]

man tell me this

why am i not getting any jobs from the past 3 days

salads running but its showing last active 3 days ago in the web

[void widget]

2028 is expected

for price fall

[sharp stream]

i mean not even bandwidth

[void widget]

i think one of your enemy works in salad

[sharp stream]

man wha

[void widget]

and he founded your Machine ID

so...

[upbeat shuttle]

what GPU and RAM do you have?

[sharp stream]

3060 with 16gb ram

well i havent been getting any containers for 2 months

surviving on bandwidth

which gives me good enough

100mbps

[void widget]

good enough on 100 mbps ?

[sharp stream]

but 3 days ago electricity went out and when i restarted salad, it just stopped

[sharp stream]

meh 1.4 around per day

[upbeat shuttle]

welp that'd explain it, 3060 demand is really low, and only 16gb of RAM limits you to even fewer of those jobs :(

[sharp stream]

what about bandwitdh

[void widget]

what was speed in ndm logs ?

[sharp stream]

the libre one right?

87 i last checked

[void widget]

yeah

upload and download ?

[sharp stream]

yeah around that

check if your IP address might've changed because of this, something similar to this happened to me and my IP address changed to a 'bad' one

[sharp stream]

nah my ip is residential and is good

[upbeat shuttle]

check your librespeed logs for before and after the power cut

[sharp stream]

i checked with the recommended sites

[sharp stream]

I can't find the message 😭😭😭

[visual grail]

Oh

💀 Not selling it

Thanks for telling before the worst happened 💀💀💀

[granite steppe]

holy earnings fr

[upbeat shuttle]

and all it took was breaking the TOS

[waxen pollen]

?

[upbeat shuttle]

having more than one account

[waxen pollen]

I'm not breaking any TOS

[upbeat shuttle]

having more than one account is breaking tos 😔

[robust creek]

Why

It was making sense back when they was giving the referral bonus

[upbeat shuttle]

it's against the TOS because that's what the TOS says

[robust creek]

Sometimes tos doesnt make any sense

[waxen pollen]

And you don't think i never asked for permission?

[upbeat shuttle]

sometimes the TOS is what the TOS is

[upbeat shuttle]

I don't think you've asked for permission to break the TOS lol

@safe loom hey support rep, is it still one Salad account per user?

[safe loom]

uhm

should be???

though

we removed referral codes

so

[waxen pollen]

Straight out calls me a liar and when proven wrong doesn't even apologise

[safe loom]

maybe the higher ups have decided not to enforce it?

idk not strict information out my mouth mouth yet take it with a *

[upbeat shuttle]

Jared has been wrong about a number of things because he doesn't keep up to date with it, or misremembers, so I asked for confirmation from the Support Representative

[safe loom]

as per the tos it still says 1 account per user

we haven't updated that, so that is the current official stance

though ill check with the higher than me people

[waxen pollen]

Salads TOS needs being updated, the 1 IP per device needs to change to 1 device per gateway too. Or salad needs to consolidate the gateways into 1 for it to be a fair policy

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd assume it's still one account per user because users are limited to the number of SGS gateways per account, because that's what SGS customers are promised. I'd assume some other things are limited per account too

[safe loom]

i thought it was gateways per device?

unless angaros or someone stated otherwise idk

haven't answered bandwidth issues, too technical for me

[upbeat shuttle]

It's one gateway per device, but you can run multiple devices and get different gateways on those different devices

[safe loom]

sorry device per gateway*

[safe loom]

yes

under the same IP

[waxen pollen]

Ohh sweet. I must have read it wrong then a while back.

[safe loom]

funnily enough i was unlucky enough to get blocked by disney this week on my static IP lol

no problem though disney support is chill

[waxen pollen]

Still though, wish they would just have a single connectable gateway where the traffic is. Not 1 or 2 gateways with demand and then x amount that never get demand. So ineffient

[safe loom]

though unofficial stance as a representative for salad*** i'm not bothering to bandwidth share since the like 24cents a day from clients isn't worth the hassle of explaining to my parents i can fix the streaming site in an hour

[safe loom]

not sure what i can comment on this based on the information is told

but there are multiple gateways for reasons

[upbeat shuttle]

I think one account per user is reasonable, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the IP thing, but Salad should absolutely rework SGS to be one gateway (per country, most likely) and have all bandwidth go through that one main gateway, and have as many devices be able to connect to that gateway depending on current customer bandwidth demand. or something along those lines. just something better than a 50/50 chance of being stuck on sgs-uk-3 earning 10c/day 😭

[waxen pollen]

Other apps have a single gateway. Like earnapp. We don't have x amount of gateways that never have traffic, so users could be stuck never getting any traffic.

[robust creek]

Earnapp works differently

Earnapp doesn't allow customers to directly connect, the customers tells "you have to perform X actions on Y amount of ips" and earnapp itself, connects and does it

[safe loom]

earnapp is a piece of shit

---not words affiliated with salad

[waxen pollen]

Id agree if i was never limited to 5 devices per account. I'm assuming that's 5 due to the UK only have 5 gateways.

So what happens when we buy proxies and use VMs, how are we meant to connect those if we never have more than 5 active devices running SGS as a time. I've had to setup 13 accounts to run my VMs on. I hate it honestly. It's a pain in the arse.

Salad needs to fix the limit so i can connect all my devices on a single account that have residential proxy with good rep scores on high speed internet. Which is exactly what salad wants on their network.

[safe loom]

only personal opinion

[waxen pollen]

I agree, they're scumbags IMO and from my experience

[safe loom]

genuinely as a consumer salad is the safest to run, your only issues may be low demand in your region (just how she goes) or being temporarily blocked by a streaming provider, to which you can email us or the streaming provider

[upbeat shuttle]

I've never had issues with streaming services in my entire time using Salad's bandwidth sharing, which is rad

[safe loom]

other platforms have had histories of being rentable proxy/botnet farms

[safe loom]

i have but i shared a fair bit of data in the last week

so fair nuff

[waxen pollen]

I get salad uses our IPs differently to the likes of earnapp and is likely the only reason the UK has such high demand. As any other app the UK has extremely poor demand

[upbeat shuttle]

😔

[safe loom]

UK has great demand due to the licensing there

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah we've got the bbc and uuhh the bbc

[waxen pollen]

really why the licensing?

[safe loom]

plenty of video content with streaming rights only available in the UK globally or in EU area

[waxen pollen]

ahh gotcha

[safe loom]

since sgs is video streaming based, obviously we'll see a streaming hub of users on vpns or locally demanding video bandwidth

= high demand from customers = earnings for UK chefs

[waxen pollen]

that actually may explain why the UK gets higher demand around 6pm till 1am

[safe loom]

yes, thats the typical evening in the UK

same time your internet plans actual speeds are tested

[waxen pollen]

I was reffering to the US and VPNs, but i guess it could solely just be UK demand

[upbeat shuttle]

aus issue 🥱

[safe loom]

you'll see the peak of UK demand during the local timezone

[visual grail]

The bbc and uuhh the bbc
-Ozua, British citizen

[upbeat shuttle]

I've never had issues hitting my max speeds

[safe loom]

no

thats just how ACCC will allow advertising speeds

ISPs are required to test between 7-9pm? i think

then they can advertise the speeds accordingly

[waxen pollen]

makes sense

[visual grail]

Wish other countries did this, afaik they don't do it here

[upbeat shuttle]

tested between 7-9pm during a blackout

[safe loom]

case in point

[waxen pollen]

I have since i got 5Gig internet from Sky

[safe loom]

speed is above typical, means no problems from my ISP for consumers

[waxen pollen]

never did before with virgin though. But they don't do those speeds

[safe loom]

love this ISP

they told me "we won't send a technician to hook up the fiber, you're qualified, call us if it doesn't work"

literally illegal for me to do it still

[visual grail]

Gonna be honest 84mb ups isn't amazing

[safe loom]

in australia?

yes it is

[visual grail]

💀💀💀

[upbeat shuttle]

illegal?

[safe loom]

yeah the NBN modem is property of NBN

only their technicians are allowed to touch it

[visual grail]

Exactly

[upbeat shuttle]

australia's main internet infrastructure is based on carrier pigeon so that's pretty good

[visual grail]

It's there same here

[waxen pollen]

In the UK, The gov had mandated that everyone has a right to be connected to fibre to the router now and a set amount of ISPs have contracts to do that.

[safe loom]

which is just a fiber optic box on our house wall with a backup battery next to it

[visual grail]

Oh yep, I forgot they have a huge ahh desert in the middle of the continent

[safe loom]

which the battery just doesn't work unless your router is PoE

since the modem will have power but your router won't 😭

[safe loom]

heat

[visual grail]

Is this isp even legit 💀

[waxen pollen]

I have mine setup on my UPS

[safe loom]

leaptel is goated

[upbeat shuttle]

oh yikes, my ISP just put an ONT in my cupboard and I've seen plenty of people reselling it on ebay lol

[safe loom]

they don't provide an isp based modem

you have to buy your own

[visual grail]

Hold on

You are supposed to buy your own modem?

[safe loom]

the only routers they'll give you support with is if you buy eero 7's or some specific tp-link router

[safe loom]

well the router

depends on which fibre network you go with decides the modem

[visual grail]

Hmm logical

[upbeat shuttle]

great, the two options are either american spyware, or chinese spyware
