Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[civic tusk]

also i think the sgs testing is closed or ek and jarrot have enough people on it

[gleaming shell]

for other apps, they dont really run a specific "gateway" / server, rather they make connections simultaneously to multiple

[gleaming shell]

of course its only limited to one device per ip, but atleast it means guaranteed earnings

id rather only be able to run one device per ip but have very high throughput

[civic tusk]

except none of them have this

[gleaming shell]

i think it kinda breaks a agreement of sgs though, so probably isnt possible to do

[civic tusk]

(unless an entire university right next to your geolocation is binge watching a series)

actually no theres probably a good chance someone 500km away with worse internet from said university will get that SGS job before you

the sgs lottery

only way to explain sgs nowadays at least in the US

[gleaming shell]

definitely

like having one or two dead gatewys (which already isnt optimal) sure
but having 11 dead gateways out of 13 is an issue

[gleaming shell]

theres been some pretty big events over these past months yet the dead gatewyas stayed dead 💀

[gleaming shell]

given the ip is desirable, yes

as ive mentioned a while back here i have gotten sgs client on a US gateway while I was in china, with a hong kong ip... the bandwidth sharing card wasnt even in the performance tab so technically i shouldnt even be getting bandwidth sharing. yet i still somehow got sgs with a us gateway

the vpn ip was very clean, ipissqualityscore doesnt even mark it as a vpn also fraud score was very low on it. no blacklists or captchas or anything aswell

here comes a spark but no flame, and my message probably going to be drowned out

scamgain, earncrap, pawns.crap, dead gateway service 💀

[civic tusk]

i use earnapp and pawnsapp just as an experiment for the past week

[gleaming shell]

idk about others experience but pawns.app always sucked for me

earnings are abysmal

and of course i have million reasons to hate earnapp now. from being one of the only competitors for us bandwidth sharing, to a greedy scummy pos in a span of months

[civic tusk]

tried honeygain but i couldn’t deal with their confusing redemption stuff with their ‘honeycomb’ crap

[gleaming shell]

atm bandwidth sharing related stuff in the us is kinda just dead

would be pretty difficult for another competiting app to enter since of course trust n customers and all that

[civic tusk]

today was genuine buns

not even a hundredth of a CENT from either platform

[gleaming shell]

💀

[civic tusk]

oh but i did get $8.75e-7 surely thats a lot (not)

i guess romania had a lot of people also running SGS (couldn’t even get on that with VPN) or maybe SGS finally got an silent update

Getting a new ip, crossing fingers that salad will like it

[robust creek]

📉 only 1,30 a day with 2 devices

[swift trellis]

I get 0.5 a day with 6 devices, it’s the wildwest

[brittle bane]

https://giphy.com/gifs/were-the-millers-this-movie-has-so-many-moments-im-giffin-shit-out-of-it-DOPKHQg6oFWUg

[civic fern]

bandwidth? how did you do that?

[robust creek]

do what

[civic fern]

whenever i try to run bandwidth sharing on two devices, one gets booted out

always the case

also i very much doubt that this will allow me to run sgs today

[robust creek]

strange

[civic nova]

It depends how many sgs client gateways are available in your country. For example I am from India and there are only 2 gateways, I can only connect 2 devices at max

[granite steppe]

money woof 💸

[granite steppe]

do u have gpu and cpu enable ? or just bandwidth?

[civic tusk]

why is there genuinely two lines representing the same device lol

[gleaming shell]

time got changed in the us

Salads new earnings page still doesn't support changes in time 💀

[civic tusk]

salad legitimately adding baboon ai containers which pay $9.99e-23 to a 5090 instead of fixing genuine bugs

[gleaming shell]

They still have yet to fix a single issue out of the many on the new earnings graph ever since it was released

[civic tusk]

we might be the testers but there's no bug fixers at salad

maybe salad expects us to fix the bugs on their own website

[gleaming shell]

doesn't auto refresh, only selects the first 5 machines then deselects it again upon refresh, dies when time gets changed, earning rate is still bugged and shows n/a unless you click on the demand monitor then back, and if you refresh the page for any reason (which you have to because the earnings graph DOESNT REFRESH), it bugs out again

they still haven't fixed any of those

since the day the new earnings page got released

[civic tusk]

they will do legitimately anything for containers to ignore everything else on their site or app

[gleaming shell]

idk what's with these passive income apps bugging their app out then never fixing it

It's not even limited to salad too, earnapp also does this crap along with pawns

[civic tusk]

i also have no real clue why we updated from 1.9.5

[gleaming shell]

but of course in this case it's about salad so

[civic tusk]

there was nothing really wrong to warrant new versions

the only updates were about workload stability

and uh

don't think they helped stability much

stability is just fine when i get a job that pays me barely 3 hundredths of a cent per hour but when I get 2 cents an hour it drops like a damn fly

[gleaming shell]

Salad has almost never fixed any of their in app bugs

It's always been something with container stability

Nothing with "chop indefinitely", that visual bug from starting with right click, etc

[brittle bane]

even back in the mining days there were bugs and i had to do it manually instead of relying on the app

[upbeat shuttle]

yup

[gleaming shell]

I actually prefer mining manually rather than using the salad app even now.

I get full freedom of mining arguments

I can CPU mine manually alongside GPU mine, as salad and it's amazing app upon high CPU usage loves to kill off all workloads, even mining, and not start any back until you manually restart salad

And the main reason I gpu mine manually is due to the stupid workload blocklist that blocks the crypto miner if I do other GPU intensive tasks. Atleast I have the freedom to do other tasks if I mine manually

Blocking container workloads? sure. But I have no clue why salad decides to block ALL GPU workloads even crypto mining, on gpus that aren't even going to get containers. Makes no sense

Anything crypto mining related you're better off just running manually sometimes

[gleaming shell]

(or not running at all tbh unless you want heat)

[granite steppe]

@gleaming shell ??

[gleaming shell]

whoops i didnt get a notification for that reply
i use bandwidth and cpu but theyre on different machines

so one of them is bandwidth only and the other is cpu only

[granite steppe]

ohh

[gleaming shell]

pawns.app still can't fix their mobile app that has been so called "in maintenance" for many months

I love developers

[civic fern]

there's nothing more permament than a temporary fix

[gleaming shell]

oh speaking of totally amazing developers, i still have to disable my touchscreen in device manager every time i want to use shift lock on roblox or have classic camera mode or in some games, a working pc ui

because these amazing software devs at roblox decided that a prefectly fine desktop app without issues was not okay, and so they decided to update something in the app that makes it so any touchscreen laptop is detected as a MOBILE DEVICE

so you get the mobile ui in some games, shiftlock doesnt work, and the camera setting is always set to the annoying "follow". I love having to strip down my devices or settings just so a stupid app that once worked perfectly, can work like its supposed to

and of course, they didnt fix it and probably never will, because of course why would they bother fixing it

whoops forgot this is the bandwidth sharing thread

Better so your ip doesnt get destroyed 👀

[granite steppe]

this guy is so protective

[robust creek]

that app was spamming lot of requests and paying so low, is not even worth running

[granite steppe]

ik pawns app is trash ✌️

[misty furnace]

[misty furnace]

no need to delete, that's valid

[gleaming shell]

average non 38 trillion dollar national debt country earnapp experience

[brittle bane]

got banned on this sh*t cuz i ran it in a docker container... $20 lost

[gleaming shell]

Oh yeah earnapp is super strict on anti VM and many devices. It's stupid

another reason to hate earnapp

[brittle bane]

yeah if they're so against running multiple devices just make the client not be a bottleneck wth

[gleaming shell]

this is the only so-called "american dream" now 💀

w

i have a 1.8 cpu container + 0.98 worth of static pay again

i still find listing earning rates in per 24h more visually appealing than per 1 hour

[gleaming shell]

im 85% sure this container is going to eventually "reallocate: bad node"

[civic tusk]

if i see a mobile 10th gen i7 1065G7 get a CPU job before my workstation i might lose it

(i have that cpu)

[gleaming shell]

"earnapp does not have a limit on the max numbers of ip you can use......" as I see something like this every other day

[civic tusk]

you should really send this gif in that server

[civic tusk]

speaking of earnapp

[gleaming shell]

💀

didnt know that happens

i do believe stopped signing their installers so every single new update gets flagged and their self updater doesnt even work

but idk about the net updater exe

[gleaming shell]

mobile data so bad and unpingable that i have to disable 5g because the 4g/lte is more stable

5g i can get up to 250mbps, but it can also get so bad that download goes completely flat

[brittle bane]

same for me. i pay for 300 mbps. sometimes it has it for a few seconds and sometimes just goes worse than 4g

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately i cant set up an automation that disables specifically the 5g radio so i have to do it myself every time

because of course i want 5g when im at a location where i can atleast ping something

[gleaming shell]

i knew it

it reallocated from "bad node"

[gleaming shell]

time to restart my 15 day uptime desktop

bunch of clankerslop clankdows updates to install, driver updates, dead intel graphics software 💀

[gleaming shell]

Nvm 4g is also just as bipolar

[visual snow]

does laptop cpu and gpu affect bw sharing no right?

i was considering just buying a second hand laptop and connect to ethernet and run 24/7

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah that'd work

[granite steppe]

today i got a haircut

and i look chopped

[gleaming shell]

wear a hat for the next some weeks 💀

[granite steppe]

yea thats what im thinking but my hair grows really fast lke really fast

a week and its all good

[granite steppe]

but wait i realized i don't get out from my home at all

[gleaming shell]

sheesh. leave some bandwidth for the rest of us

[gleaming shell]

9 minute drive home and they took the 1050mbps away from me 😔

[misty furnace]

mine doesn't even connect to test

[gleaming shell]

amazing

mobile data just goes flat sometimes upon will

[brittle bane]

everything went to 0 suddenly today. anyone else experience the same thing?

[gleaming shell]

second time it happened 💀 mobile data completely flatlined to 0mbps (those spikes are local network or pings that did not respond)

had to restart my phone

[dark meteor]

Has anyone based in the UK got sgs. Client currently working please? Since 1.9.5 mine will not even start the client?

[civic tusk]

1.9.5 is no longer supported, the minimum version is 1.9.12 i think

[dark meteor]

I am running 1.9.12…. Sgs last ran on 1.9.5

[misty furnace]

try restarting Salad. the speed test servers were out of service the other day

[dark meteor]

Have done a few times over the last couple of days… no joy over 4 rigs

[upbeat shuttle]

The minimum version to receive containers is 1.9.10, but the bare minimum for bandwidth sharing is much older than that, I recall running 1.6.something until somewhat recently lol

[dark meteor]

To lose SGS on 4 rigs tells me there is a problem somewhere. I have reached out to support several times with no reply….

[upbeat shuttle]

did you do this?

[gleaming shell]

aint no way libresheit is still dead

well

"expired certificate"

these screenshots seem to be getting worse

[upbeat shuttle]

it's been back for like a couple days

[gleaming shell]

oh youre right it apprently does have a valid certificate now

not sure why clankerslop edge is marking it not secure

[misty furnace]

You're absolutely right! ✨

[wooden vessel]

While bandwidth sharing is running and the SGS client is active, everything works fine at first. However, when I start doing other light tasks (not heavy bandwidth usage just normal scrolling or checking other things), it seems to affect Salad. The SGS client’s speed suddenly drops from around 200–300 Mbps to just 7–8 Mbps.
I’ve noticed this many times: the usage is good initially, but as soon as I start checking other things, within a few seconds there is a sharp decline in speed.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Also, I have already disabled sleep mode and turned off other settings that Salad recommends disabling while it’s active.

[fossil onyx]

So is the 1.9.5 stil can run bandwidth sharing ?

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

if you're not running containers, you don't have to update the app often at all

though I won't say that you never have to update the app, because knowing my luck, there could be an update that affects bandwidth sharing and bumps the minimum version up

[dusk phoenix]

new update , new issues , why does speedtest REALLY suck on librespeed , this is on more devices that i see (this on is a 300mbps network)

or weird speeds like this

while on older updates i had smooth 250 on both and 30 ping

downgrading to 1.9.10 seems like a stabile enough version

[dark meteor]

Yes I checked this and nothing has changed…. It’s so frustrating as no one at salad will come back to me….

[gleaming shell]

rip

the chicago servers no longer exist on libresheit

it was the only half-decent server 😭

it was the only server closest to maxxing my speeds, and it was the closest server to me

now im stuck with it choosing some random server in the middle of nowhere and probably giving me speeds that wont even make me eligible for bandwidth sharing or something

wanted to use libresheit as some automation for testing my speeds but i guess not anymore since the only good server is dead

[dusk phoenix]

They killed a lot of servers In eu too like I need to connect to Poland, while I would had like 3 servers to connect to

[gleaming shell]

Unfortunate

these servers libresheit is choosing suck

I can still get bandwidth sharing (well I hope so) but it's a million times worse than chicago

or maybe if salad could use a different provider than this stupid one

[dark meteor]

Simple question, hope to get a simple answer if possible. SGS.client should run whether you have a band width sharing job or not? My understanding and what I have seen over a couple of years is SGS.client will run even if there are no band width jobs ready? Being based in the UK there are loads of bad width jobs normally…. Just need a little help as salad support is on holiday…

And another question what would stop sgs.client from running?

4 rigs all running 1.9.12

[wide idol]

Hi Tucky we have discussed this issue last time: you can benchmark online and check server id which is best for you then edit the config file see screenshot to verify that salad uses only this benchmark server for testing.

later on you can check it in the ndm folder easy to do after editing the config file you only need to restart the salad service in taskmanager an a new benchmark will run bis this time with the fixed server id you choose. I have the same issue (in Germany) Hetzner Server were best upload 450Mbit cloudserver benched it only 100Mbit.

Please check the german international forum I posted there also tweaks for network card. this would be the best tuning also.

[dark meteor]

But libraspeed runs the test fine at my end

[wide idol]

regarding to internal problems maybe the tweaks will help you.

[dark meteor]

Btw i appreciate the help

My benchmarks are 800/800

[wide idol]

I have fibre network 1050Mbit down / 500Mbit upl. the internal automatic test via librespeed have poor results because the server for benchmarking limit the upload to about 100Mbit. with the defined server Id my download speed were 100% detected and the upload were around 350Mbit. It really depends on the benchmark server (this are often overloaded).

[dark meteor]

Ok let me try your suggestion

[wide idol]

with the tweaks you get immediatly extrem full speed of bandwidth by testing any speedtests. After I have done this steps the upload will get to max. speed for testing.

[dark meteor]

I tried it and the best server is the one that librespeed uses in the test…. My issue is sgs.client does not start for some reason

I did send @lone solstice a msg but radio silence so far….

[wide idol]

I have this issue in older version please install .12 and you need then to modify the config file again (salad must be closed) then start salad again go to taskmanger and kill this service salad will then restart the service and immediately runs then benchmark. I had this issue with version .11 then it will not do any retest for bandwidth measurement.

[lone solstice]

I don't respond to unknown DMs. Your ticket was replied to, the queue is empty atm****

[dark meteor]

@lone solstice thanks for the support

[civic tusk]

got a nearly 3 cent job, but despite it being a GPU workload (cpu was disabled) it made my CPU run laps around laps (consistent 90 degree celcius)

never have I even gotten my CPU to 80 celcius even with like hundreds of tabs open and at least two resource intensive games running

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately some gpu containers do that 💀

there used to be 2 containers out there for the 1650ti and it would also use the cpu

but i dont think theres even anything out there for 1650s anymore

but hey gpu container customers get free vcpus so they can do whatever the hell they want on it

[misty furnace]

sgs-client running means you were authorized and running the workload, but there's no traffic through it unless the customer requests it. It will only start when the backend calls it

[upbeat shuttle]

i wish we'd all standardised all this terminology early on

I consider it "running a job" when sgs-client.exe is running

[misty furnace]

yeah. it's actively counting the chopping hours as well. it's accurate to say it's running

also the whole "job", "container", "workload", "container mining", etc. confusion that users have. It's not just sgs

[gleaming shell]

bandwidth mining

[upbeat shuttle]

it REALLY doesn't help that Salad doesn't tell you the type of job(s) that are currently running

they did a half assed job with that indicator

[dark meteor]

Thanks for the info. All 4 of my rigs would have SGS.client running in salad but showing no earnings, this tells me that SGS should be running whether there is band width jobs or not. SGS does not run at all anymore and being based in the UK either Salad has lost its streaming business or there is a problem somewhere…

Salad support has told me that SGS will only run when it picks up a job….well if that was the case jobs have been running at times with payment to me….

[civic tusk]

best way to tell if SGS running is with task manager. Just search sgs-client.exe

[dark meteor]

Yes i understand that

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm in the UK and my bandwidth sharing has been running as normal

[robust creek]

Italy 📉

[onyx fiber]

Actually pay rate for uk is good about 8p to 30p per hour which is amazing

[dark meteor]

This is why I know it’s not for the lack of jobs…

[dusk phoenix]

50mbps peak not bad ngl

seems likes its fixing itself

[gleaming shell]

4th time mobile data just flatlined to 0mbps 😭

its getting worse

[civic tusk]

yesterday and today have done very good in terms of BW sharing. if the BW sharing stops paying so well (2 cents per hour) i'll change up fan curves to allow for GPU+CPU workloads again

the limiting factor was definitely the fan curves and unfortunately dell doesn't let you change that outside of the BIOS

[gleaming shell]

libresheit revamped their site 💀

unfortunately, all the servers for me suck now that the chicago server got nuked

[gleaming shell]

interesting it takes the speedtest first then measures ping

can't take a cut if there's no traffic to begin with

Wtf happened to my discord

For some reason when I try to attach an image its no longer sorted by most recent

wtf is this

why do software developers make software that doesn't work

[gleaming shell]

guys is there something called salad obliterator?

i recieved it through support team email

I installed it and tried running but windows defender stopped so just checking is it legit

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KprjK8zmlT4hEWcQTthTlYoR_bkt_cs1/view

[tardy swan]

Yes the salad Obliterator is official, but make sure it’s from a support email

[misty furnace]

you can cross-reference with this

!obliterator

[sick helm]

Trying to get a clean uninstall, but your Control Panel just doesn't do it for you? Use the Salad Obliterator to wipe all traces of Salad from your PC so that you can go about your business, whether that be leaving Salad behind (we'll miss you!) or grabbing a fresh install.

You should only use this if directed to by a Support Assistant as a last resort troubleshooting step.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KprjK8zmlT4hEWcQTthTlYoR_bkt_cs1/view?usp=sharing

After you successfully run it, restart your PC to fully apply the changes made.

sgs died 💀 computer crashed loading up a clanker model

took too much ram and froze

i can set the vms to autostart upon boot in case something like this happens but i dont EVER trust salad in its "chop indefinitely" state, which it goes to when salad auto starts

^i dont EVER trust any "passive" income app to run by itself without my supervision making sure it actually started and is working desirably *

amazing, now that the chicago servers are gone for libresheit its choosing a random server that gives 100+ms ping
(sgs client isnt starting either, not gonna bother with this 💀 )

[gleaming shell]

count that up to 5 💀

i will willingly pay for a 5g standalone tower somewhere here (i wont and i cant)

[civic tusk]

EB1 currently has traffic

i might genuinely be in a coma for this to be happening

[gleaming shell]

no way again?

It's only ever happened twice

imagine it surges for a day or two again then does for another year

[gleaming shell]

If eb1 has traffic there could be a chance 2 3 4 also have traffic, but idk

Last 2 times it happened that was the case

[civic tusk]

this was the traffic before it died again. I was given an estimate of 11 cents not 5 minutes ago and then it died

seems it's downgraded back to 1 cent though,

[civic tusk]

man it really is fluctuating

[gleaming shell]

lmk if it stays, i might spool up another machine

i guess the galbraith customers didnt forget about their gateway

i still dont forgve them tho 💀

[gleaming shell]

amazing

Internet went out for no reason and it's still down

[civic tusk]

got this from a few mins ago, now it's back to two cents

yeah its just a rollercoaster

[gleaming shell]

apparently fiber cable broke here

so no Internet for the next few days

unfortunate

the second time galbraith gateways have jobs and my sgsses just recovered and my fiber line dies

and this mobile data has an amazingly slow upload speed down to the kilobits per second, and sometimes the entire mobile data straight up stops even working

[gleaming shell]

ok so turns out im switching isps tomorrow

@upbeat shuttle lucky number 12 (wow its been a while)

[granite steppe]

Hi

[civic tusk]

and EB1 is dead.

not even getting like 0.0001 cents or something its just flatout dead

[gleaming shell]

of course

It's probably the day long demand spike then gone again

For the next year

[gleaming shell]

im assuming its still dead?

99.95% confident its a yes

[civic tusk]

yeah

[gleaming shell]

lol

and the galbraiths disappoint once again

[civic tusk]

it probably was the customer himself that had the traffic

and not some random consumer of streaming services

[gleaming shell]

welp, after so long guys
I am quitting honeygain and pawns. I have switched back to my old ISP and for the first time in almost a year, I can get daffodil-4 and lotus again, the only two gateways in the US with jobs

ill still run honeygain on my mobile data because idc about that, but I will not let a non-transparent company silently reducing their payout rates to abysmally low amounts ruin my IP score

and i will not let an app that put their mobile app in "maitenence" for months upon months with radio silence and zero fix, also along with terrible earnings on my new isp

Earnapp I am still contemplating. There have never been any reports of us users ips getting bombed, nor have I experienced it myself. I REALLY hate earnapp as a business, but it is still the second leading highest paying app that has usd payout options at 30 cents per day

[upbeat shuttle]

!

[gleaming shell]

i need more ram 😭

[gleaming shell]

w lotus still has jobs

so seems like its still only 2 gateways with jobs in the us

yep keep abusing me

must really like my new ip now

anyways ill give earnapp a shot and let it run for a bit. if it starts using insane amounts of data then im outta here. if it wants to use a good ip then it should pay me like a good ip

if it was pay per gb, sure, but 30 cents for what would earn me several dollars hell no

[civic tusk]

salad must have given me that EB1 spike to keep me on. Barely earned 36 cents yesterday amongst 3 devices

[gleaming shell]

last time this happened, i got a record earning of almost 3 dollars in 24h

well, 2.8ish

[gleaming shell]

wow daffodil 4 and lotus are bad

ill let it run for a few more days

i hope the only 2 out of the 13 gateways in the us make enough to make a positive profit 💀

[civic tusk]

how long did it take for you to be assigned the new SGS gateways?

[gleaming shell]

Sometimes its instant, sometimes it takes hours

[swift trellis]

Is the number of gateways your country has is your max device limit?

[upbeat shuttle]

yea

[swift trellis]

Ah thought so

Is there reason for that?

surely multiple ip and devices could do more

[gleaming shell]

Unfortunately, the gateway limit seems to be account-wide, so even if you have bulk ips, you can only get a certian amount of gateways. Here in the US its around 4-5 gateways, even though there are 13 gateways. ||(no point running all 4-5 as only 2 of them have jobs here)||

Apparently (with emphasis), theres "no limit to the max number of simul. gateway connections, and you can connect up to the total gateway count in your country" but it doesnt seem to be the case here as confirmed by me and a few other users here.

so yeah tldr dont buy bulk ips for salad as the gateway limit is account wide and in some cases you cant even connect to every gateway in the country

[swift trellis]

I wish they would come out with more details of bandwidth

[gleaming shell]

i could be wrong but maybe its because salad customers want distinct ip addreses

[swift trellis]

Such a. Grey area

[gleaming shell]

no literally, it would be so good.
i feel like containers have gotten much more of their hearts than bandwidth sharing does

[swift trellis]

I get the distinct ip but some of us has many but can only use a few with this project

Atleast you get paid a good bit in the us

Lucky here in the uk to get 3 to run 24/7 and make 0.5-1

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately not he case right now :(

the*

the only 2 alive gateways here seem very weak too

[swift trellis]

They need to delete rubbish ones, shame they won’t give us more details, I know it’s a small portion of the company

[swift trellis]

But enough of us have unlimited good fibre and wanna earn

[gleaming shell]

heres the uk form what i know

[swift trellis]

I usually get rose 2,3 but they don’t last long

[civic tusk]

48 cent static pay? I only get 2 cents on them static pay

For both GD’s

[misty furnace]

different type of workload, like unsubscriptions and opt-outs

[gleaming shell]

oh it's 48 cents per day. But yeah that translates to 2 cents per hour
(For each gateway)

[dim sage]

for some reason after I swapped my pc's motherboard bw sharing has not worked since and sgs never shows up in task manager, any ideas?

[misty furnace]

if sgs is showing then it's just a low-usage gateway for bandwidth sharing. nothing wrong on your end

[dim sage]

its not showing up tho

like before it would but now I juet never see it

[gleaming shell]

salad swapped my lotus (good) for a galbraith-1 (crap)💀

[misty furnace]

man... I cannot read right now. I missed the word "never"

Anyways, it's also normal to not show up for a while. The workload is not guaranteed, even if you had it previously

[dim sage]

the weird thing is, with my other motherboard I was always getting at least a low paying bw job even with wifi but now with these new motherboard and ethernet I haven't gotten a single job in over 2 weeks of running salad

[misty furnace]

Yeah that's unfortunately normal. Bandwidth sharing can just up and disappear for weeks or months

then it reappears randomly

[dim sage]

dang

[gleaming shell]

can confirm

[dim sage]

is there anyway to confirm that at least everything is fine on my end?

and its not just a bug or something or a setting

[misty furnace]

no degraded = fine

[dim sage]

oh ok

[misty furnace]

not a bug or a setting, just gotta wait for the ~magic~ in the backend to select you again

[civic tusk]

yeah ive been getting sub hundredth cents on my GB1 SGS workload

[gleaming shell]

wow they atleast evven pay something?

[gleaming shell]

not that this has any relation in any way but theres also SGS-US-GD (no SS or LL), swan gateway, and that is dead jobless with no static pay

^also someone give this man the sgs testers role

[civic nova]

Do you run salad in VM for bw sharing?

[gleaming shell]

only a few, i dont have much ram

and i dont have access to many bulk ips (not that it does anything for salad)

[civic nova]

How many CPU core and RAM you allocate to one so that it runs salad smoothly.

Do you use Virtual Box? With Windows 10 64 bit?

[gleaming shell]

I use 4vCPUs and 6gb ram for each VM. I used a full windows installer, but if you use a stripped-down version of windows or heavily debloat it or ltsc edition, you can likely get by with using less vcpus. But I have noticed that 4vCPUs is the optimal for me because for some reason salad bowl service LOVES to absolutely hammer your CPU upon (re)start and having 2vCPUs (atleast on a standard windows install) can choke librespeed, which is already a bad enough speedtesting software, and can affect my speedtest results in the logs.
I let the VMs use 6gb ram but honestly its probably overkill, but since I have dynamic memory enabled ill let it run like that since if i do need more ram it can just expand. It only uses 2-3gb ram, with 4.3ish gb allocated/expanded. You can likely get by with using 4gb ram per vm.
Also if youre making vms just for bandwidth sharing and nothing else, I found that 32gb virtual disk is the sweet spot.

Also in terms of virtualization software, I use hyper-v (requires windows pro but theres...ways you can get it...). From my experience, I would actually avoid virtualbox, because for some reason, even though my systems support AMD-V / whatever equivalent for Intel, it doesnt seem to take use of it, so the VM runs in "slow mode" and its REALLY low performance. It takes a lot of power and it run slowly and occasionally freezes.

Also, the virtual network adapters on virtualbox suck. it can only do around 200mbps (1.4gbps max after some config) with high host power draw and latency, while hyper-v's virtual network adapter can do atleast 22gbps, maybe even more if your system is more powerful (idk about that, all i know is mine can do 22gbps). oh and the latency is indistinguishable to what it would be on the host's, whereas on virtualbox its an extra +10-20ms.
^hyper-v is so efficient that my cpu power draw can idle as low as if the vms werent even running. Also hyper-v allows resizing virtual disks

also I use windows 11

^btw, if you do plan to use hyper v, dont connect to the vm directly with the interface since it uses remote desktop protocol, which will kill the salad bowl service. Use a different remote software instead

[gleaming shell]

[wind saddle]

hi, does salad looks for ipqs score for sgs? Thanks, because I have 85 / 100 and sgs don't start anymore....

[civic nova]

That's me, running 7 VM's and 1 Normal system on an AMD 5900X and 32 GB RAM through Virtual Box, I give 10 cores to each VM and 3200 MB RAM to each VM. If I don't use any app on my PC, this runs smooth.

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah I'm pretty sure Salad does use ipqualityscore

[wind saddle]

ok thanks 🙁

[serene falcon]

U are running these vm particularly for salad bandwidth. Then it's of no use running 7 vm, running only 2 vms will be enough

In india salad have only 2 gateways

[civic nova]

I know, Only 2 of them will connect to sgs client on athelas and henna, others will just run empty, I was just trying my systems limit

[wooden vessel]

🤔 we can run two sgs on a single machine with a single IP ? Is there any way to do it ?

[upbeat shuttle]

no

[serene falcon]

Yes

I am running 2 on same ip

I don't know it actually benefits to run 2 gateway on same ip

[wooden vessel]

What ? How ?

[wooden vessel]

Wdym ? 🤔 How come not benefit 🤔

[wooden vessel]

On same machine or different?

[serene falcon]

Different but ip is same

So maybe

[wooden vessel]

Oh I see

[gleaming shell]

Interesting. No clue if your virtualbox is able to take advantage of the amd v (the execution cap status should be a blue chip icon and not a turtle icon in that case)

I knew none of my devices used it and back when I had 4vms actively sharing bandwidth it would almost max out my cpu

not sure how to fix it so I just migrated to hyper v

[gleaming shell]

I am wondering which absolute idiots are under the coding/app development of earnapp

They stopped signing their installers, so every earnapp installer is flagged as a virus/nuked by defender

that means the self updater doesnt work because every time it downloads an update it instantly get nuked, yet it STILL shows an annoying popup dialog to update, and if you click "upgrade now" the app just PAUSES ITSELF and does nothing

Their so called stupid "solution" is to either disable defender or whitelist the installation folder...
THE ISSUE IS earnapp doesnt have its own dedicated installation folder...it downloads its installers into your appdata\local\temp... WHO IS GOING to whitelist THAT folder in their antivirus so an unsigned installer from stupid developers gets passed through

maybe if earnapp had its own installer download folder like salad does, maybe they can implement a folder whitelist themselves or the user can do that. but WHY are the installers downloaded in appdata\TEMP

[swift trellis]

Good traffic today in the UK

[gleaming shell]

NOONE is going to whitelist their appdata\local\temp folder
and so now im just getting spammed with defender notifications as earnapp keeps downloading the installer after it gets nuked

[swift trellis]

🤷🏽‍♂️ it just works for me so I leave it

Hopefully they get ai training soon, which was announced last week

[gleaming shell]

us traffic seems to... not be so good right now 💀

i havent gotten a good full multi day uptime though

but if earnings are really this bad... the I can confidently say "US bandwidth sucks"

[swift trellis]

When I say good I mean cents

[sturdy fulcrum]

so many devices

[swift trellis]

I like devices

[civic nova]

For me also, it is a green turtle with V written on it's shell. But when I hover over it, It says Paravirtualization Interface - Hyper V. I don't know now, Is it taking advantage or not?

[gleaming shell]

yeah weirdly it also says the exact same thing for me, no clue if it really is using hyper v interface but it still seems to be a lot more inefficient in my experience."
the AMD-V option in the vm settings is just grayed out for me, and i think thats what causing the inefficiencies. Not sure how to have it ticked.

[civic nova]

Let's see if I can find a fix or will uninstall it 😂

[civic nova]

Can I DM you? Just for a couple of things???

[gleaming shell]

whoops late reply. Was cooking
yeah go ahead

[misty furnace]

who let this man cook

[misty furnace]

last time he cooked he almost burnt the house down /hj

[gleaming shell]

ive ruined instant noodles before

and my brother screwed up frozen pizza

might be true one day

not that im hoping for it to happen

[serene falcon]

Really😂

[upbeat shuttle]

what, did you turn them into instantaneous noodled?

[gleaming shell]

yes

[robust creek]

salad buggy because of time change

and dead traffic

[sturdy fulcrum]

[ornate wharf]

Any tips or anything to get good High paying bandwidth job.. i have 500 up down

[dusk phoenix]

have a lot of uptime

my devices have over 30 days+

also make sure u dont run apps that affect ur ip score since sgs DEPENDS heavily on ur ip (ipqs is the website they use to find ur score)

[ornate wharf]

Does Libr Speed test effect ur earning also lik i got 500 up down..but in libr speed test only 100 .. should i restart

[dusk phoenix]

yeah , just show down the app and end salad bowl services

try to get under 50 ping and atleast 150mbps both (up and down)

[wind saddle]

someone using bw in USA? is paying right?

[gleaming shell]

US user here, not the best lol it's seen better times

Definitely has seen better times

[wind saddle]

I used like 1 year ago making like 30 bucks a month in NY, is better or lower now?

thanks mate

[gleaming shell]

Long answer short, the US is one of the worst countries for bandwidth sharing right now, unfortunately. It did get worse.

For more context: in these recent years, the US has had a massive insurgence of what are known as "dead gateways", which is bandwidth sharing customers that sign up but do absolutely nothing with their gateway and push basically zero traffic. This means anyone who gets those gateways will earn nothing since there's no bandwidth to share.
Unfortunately, salads way of distributing these gateways to users is very random, so it's very easy to receive dead gateways.

The US is the worst case right now, as there are currently 13 gateways here, but 11 of which are the "dead gateways" that earn nothing, leaving only 2 gateways with actual traffic. Unfortunately, those 2 gateways don't have the strongest traffic either, but at least they're better than nothing.

There's a new larger customer that's currently in testing right now, and hopefully they won't disappoint

[wind saddle]

thanks you for the response, hope that it gets better. 🙂

[gleaming shell]

i think the new customer should start testing around mid-april or so, thats what weve been informed
really hope this customer doesnt disappoint us like almost every other one has except for some few

[wooden vessel]

Does having high uptime really make a big difference? And is speed only important for starting the SGS client? Mine started with just 10 Mbps in NDM, yet I’ve seen people with lower uptime earning a lot right after starting

[upbeat shuttle]

Yes, having good uptime on the scale of weeks is good, whenever I have an outage of some kind, it takes at least a week to build up the 'streak' again.
The speed test results are important as each gateway can have its own minimum speed requirement, meaning the higher ones are probably the better earning ones.

[wooden vessel]

In India, there are only two gateways (Henna and Athelas), so speed shouldn’t make much difference, right? I’m currently using Athelas. Is there any way to monitor uptime, like detecting brief internet cutouts of 3–4 seconds caused by ISP or router issues? Also, I sometimes see latency spikes up to 300 ms in the bandwidth logs, Do these affect uptime?

[civic tusk]

I thought we were already testing the new SGS workloads since they function different than the others

[ornate wharf]

Ya like for me sometimes sgs will automatically close i think cause of no work for few hours and after that again sgs will come back

So does this also count in uptime...or only salad app? Will count in uptime

Purple line.my pc and salad will be on but sgs will automatically get off and on.. does it count in uptime

[wooden vessel]

I think if sgs isn't running in the task manager , uptime will be affected

[ornate wharf]

So if sgs is not running and my pc and salad is still run my uptime get fkk off

[wooden vessel]

Yes

[ornate wharf]

I don't know why my sgs will work for 5 6 hr then stop and again after 2 3 hr it will start

[wooden vessel]

How much ram ?

[ornate wharf]

32 gb

[wooden vessel]

then i don't know

[ornate wharf]

I think @gleaming shell will know somthing

[ornate wharf]

What cause this?

[dusk phoenix]

I don't think it matters as much (mine is getting like 50mb of ram because of ark asa 🔥 )

And the other has a Minecraft server + docker

8 gbs both

[wooden vessel]

That's not what I meant

If other applications start consuming a large amount of RAM, the system may close background apps to keep running properly. Because of this, the SGS client might also get closed. This has happened to me several times when I open multiple tabs while other programs are running and only about 200–300 MB of RAM is left @dusk phoenix

[dusk phoenix]

idk i dont have that problem even tho i have like 3 mb left with everything

[gleaming shell]

does sgs like, completely stop running (not even showing in task manager)?

or does it still run when it dies off

[ornate wharf]

No completely die Even from the task bar

[gleaming shell]

interesting, ive never seen anyting like thag

usually when it dies for me it stays dead forever until i restart salad

[ornate wharf]

After few hours it again started and again die every 6 to 7 hr

[gleaming shell]

i just realized i worded that message very badly.
yeah theyre in testing right now, but should start pushing traffic mid april*

[gleaming shell]

ok honestly i might just quit honeygain and pawns alltogether 💀, not even going to bother running it on my mobile data

or maybe honeygain on mobile data only when myphone is pluggeed in

not worth having a laptop up for 2 apps that either earn nothing or kill themselves when i look away

i would still consider running these apps if i could put them in vms on my desktop so its more efficient but of course these idiot people under these apps for whatever reason have so much of a problem with you running it in a vm so theyll simply ban you with an automation

[civic tusk]

there was a time for me that earnapp was earning more than salad, for at least two months. now salad is earning more thankfully

[gleaming shell]

same

there was a time earnapp earned the most or was tied to salad, and had very strong consistent earnings

Until one day they decided to abondon their users and app reputation

[civic tusk]

that spike was EB1

2k hours for a 10 dollar gift card not bad

especially considering i wouldn't pay money i actually make on the game i bought that giftcard for

[gleaming shell]

galbraith has jobs again? 💀

[civic tusk]

no that was just the eb1 job last week

[gleaming shell]

oh 💀

[civic tusk]

really curious who the customer is for the galbraith gateways

[gleaming shell]

man it would be good if the galbraiths didnt disappoint us like 3 times

[gleaming shell]

same

whoever it is, i hope someone puts itching powder on their clothes

[civic tusk]

it cant be a real streaming service

[gleaming shell]

literally aside form those 3 days, all the galbraiths do is just have zero throughput, except for an occasional access to some sort of site thats like kilobyte spikes, and pay nothing even then

[civic tusk]

maybe theres just so many people on galbraith that it pays out so little for that reason

like too much supply but only so mich demand

[gleaming shell]

maybe, but theres also daffodil 4 which is abundant

either way idk

weird that those days galbraiths did have jobs, it basically maxed out my bandwidth

idk what theyre doing either 💀

[civic tusk]

or maybe EB is just a small time piracy service for a select few

because those are some wonky ass donains

Prod.ftl.netflix

[gleaming shell]

i think some sgs gateways have been caught doing sus stuff a while back

they got looked into though

[civic tusk]

the naming schemes also don’t really help in their transparency of what the jobs are

when i first came to salad i just assumed these gateways were open for all customers to use since they seemed to be owned and operated by salad

[gleaming shell]

yeah bandwidth sharing in terms of knowing if youll earn a lot in the us is a bit of a mess

im sure new users have no clue what a "sgs gateway" is

hell some may not even know what "sgs client" is

that and having to check if bandwidth sharing is working (there are zero visual indications other than sgs client in task manager which once again, some people dont know what that is)

and not knowing that theyre connected to a dead gateway so theyll earn nothing 24/7

[wooden vessel]

Honeygain is dead

[gleaming shell]

indeed

[wooden vessel]

Earned 356 points in the last 30 days before it used to be 4k-5k

[wooden vessel]

My pawns app has almost 1-2k uptime and earnings 1$ 🤣

[gleaming shell]

pawns never earned anything for me

honeygain used to be good but of course they screwed every one of us over for profits, so not its not worth running

[sturdy fulcrum]

almost 3 months for 10 bucks

[granite steppe]

2.5months almost

almost 3 months

[olive lichen]

Hi friends, I'm one of those who has been using Salad for about 2 months and doesn't know what Salad does exactly😄 . I'm in Italy and the only ones it connects to are SGS IT and SGS IT and C or something similar. One generally performs better than the other, but I notice that if I restart a node on different IPs, it kicks out the other one, taking the SGS container. Then, after a few minutes, the IP that lost the work will take what's left. So, I realized that it's useless to have more than 2 nodes... can you briefly summarize what these containers do if you can? Thanks.

and of course how and if I can optimize?

[gleaming shell]

FINALLY this is having some light brought to it 🙏

yes: for some weird reason, if you have multiple devices running sgs client, and if for whatever reason ONE of them stops ||(whether you manually stopped it, salad unassigned it, or salad bugged out and paused itself)||, it can cause sgs clients on other machines to get killed/swap.

annoying "issue" but i doubt itll ever be fixed

[gleaming shell]

luckily, it doesnt affect containers. if you have multiple containers and one gets killed, the other stays

its just something with sgs.

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah that sucks

[gleaming shell]

worst case scenario is if you live in the us and it swaps a perfectly job abundant gateway for a dead one^

super easy for it to happen

[gleaming shell]

inded

deed*

if I stop sgs client on one machine, there should be no reason why sgs clients on my other machines should have their perfect traffic interrupted and killed, and in some cases if unlucky, swapped for a dead gateway

sometimes they just "trade gateways" and other times a dead one gets introduced, ultimately they get killed for some unknown reason

[gleaming shell]

oh this also shows how badly salad behaves with high cpu usage 💀

exactly why i added a warning on my cpu mining tutorial

so people dont come yelling at me "something something why do i not get any jobs anymore even gpu mining with xmrig running!!!'"

[gleaming shell]

Unfortunately the sgs workload distribution is managed on salads side and not your machines :(, so every time you want to kill sgs, you will have to accept the chances that sgs on other machines might be killed / swapped. From the workloads you mentioned it seems like youre in italy, so you dont have to worry about dead gateways unlike the us

[olive lichen]

Yes, I noticed more or less the same thing. You've clarified a few things for me. Furthermore, whether I use 1 GB or 2.5 GB, nothing seems to change, even with providers that use different fiber technologies. I have a 5 GB fiber connection with an upload speed of 900 Mbps and another at 1 GB download and 1 GB upload speed.

[gleaming shell]

yeah if youre talking about the workload stealing/swapping, it does that even on different ips as ive tried

[gleaming shell]

waiting to get the 5 dollars on pawns.app so i can quit the stupid app 😔

but its going so slow

same wih honeygain

[olive lichen]

yes then they block you to recover a pittance, sometimes it's better to leave them there.....

try, earnpp 0.16 cents per day, pawns and traffic even much less, tried 2 or 3 days and removed immediately I don't think there is anything else decent regarding the bandwidth, grass I don't trust, do you have any opinions?

ah, do you know if starchef affects sgs in general?

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately bandwidth sharing in general sucks right now. The only app with potential is salad

[gleaming shell]

it doesnt

star chef was so intransparently advertised, which sucks too

and it still is right now

why is it only given on fridays at a specific time, why does star chef only show for users with desirable hardware with everything in chopping power maxed, and why does it only apply to gpu containers and not cpu or bandwidth adding on with no indication or mention of that anywhere within the app or support pages

[olive lichen]

yes in fact the FAQ is poor and not very updated

I have a starchef machine but in the last month it has only appeared once

[gleaming shell]

some parts of it still have mentions of CPU mining, which salad removed AGES ago

hell they still have not bothered removing the cpu mining mention from this setting IN THE APP

im sure this will confuse new clueless chefs

[olive lichen]

Yes, from the beginning I understood mining as AI calculation, I imagined...

[gleaming shell]

oh right and for some reason they interchange "bandwidth sharing" and "video streaming" in the app too

[olive lichen]

and yes in fact I thought it used the GPU for encoding, like for example thetaedge, but it never happened so as I thought, only and exclusively bandwidth, which depends on local events

I just noticed that during sporting events or gaming events I get spikes, these are not coincidences, does Salad sell bandwidth for this, not just scraping?

[gleaming shell]

Usually, salads bandwidth sharing operates on a content delivery system. So yeah that could be a correlation since many customers use SGS for stuff like video streaming. I don't believe salad has a data scraping system by default.

Some SGS workloads are a but different though, so not In the traditional way of streaming video content

Salad doesn't tell you which gateways are content delivery workloads, which ones are scraping (if any) or other stuff

[civic tusk]

this^

theres seriously no apps that do sgs as well as salad in the US, which isn’t a great thing for now, but the future may be better

[gleaming shell]

unfortunate

weve been on the same four "scamgain" "earncrap" "pawns.crap" and "dead gateway service" for a while now in the us

got a nickname for every one 🔥

[gleaming shell]

6 days in and one of my vms died 😔

probably overloaded my ram from using ai

64gb ram would be very good right now if only it was affordable

and its a galbraith...

[olive lichen]

Can I run a virtual machine just for SGS? If so, how much RAM do I need?

Today SGS closed due to CPU saturation, I used Handbrake....

[visual snow]

somehow librespeed ndm

speed tests with the worst possible server location

;-;

my upload speed is down to 20Mbps from 950 ish to 1gb

[civic nova]

Your Network just needs to score more than 15Mbps, doesn't matter if it's 1000Mbps or 16Mbps, Its just a test to see that it's capable. For Salad's sgs client to run, it needs to be over 10 or 15 Mbps at max.

[visual snow]

that works then

its just demand then

[gleaming shell]

@olive lichen ^
I personally use 6gb of ram (dynamically expanding so the usage on host machine is only the amount the vm is demanding)

you can likely get away with 4gb though

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately, salad is the WORST app I know at handling high cpu usage

high cpu for prolonged time will cause salad to for some reason stop all running workloads (even crypto mining) and not start any back until you restart salad. Its weird

also it produces the chop indefinitely bug that causes salad to pause itsef, and occasionally the app straight up dies and shows "connection delay" error

if you want to run salad youll unfortunately have to keep a good amount of threads free, or run salad in a VM as that is less likely affected for whatever weird reason

[civic tusk]

Using AV1 encoder in handbrake?

thats the one encoder i think that centers on CPU rather than gpu

[gleaming shell]

glad i have a gpu that can encode av1 so i dont have to screw over salad

[olive lichen]

I don't know, I usually use the GPU or the IGPU depending on the PC, but this time I was in a hurry, I took a default 720p 30fps and started, CPU at 95/100% and a few seconds later I lost the sgs container.... yes, it could be tried using the IGPU, it wouldn't have happened, I was on a 5600g

[olive lichen]

I didn't know yet that the CPU can also create this problem in SGS, I only thought it was in case of RAM saturation

So with vm with qemu on ubuntu, I don't risk a ban or something like that? Are you sure?

[gleaming shell]

oh the app definitely WILL die over high cpu usage lol

[gleaming shell]

Running salad on a vm is not bannable as of the moment, i believe a staff (i forgot which one) has confirmed it a while back. Just be aware you will recieve zero support if issues occur

Actually as weird as it sounds, salad is less likely to screw over when its in a vm, and your host machine cpu is loaded

i have ran my salad in a vm while I cpu mined on host machine and never has it ever transitioned to that bugged "chop indefinitely" state thats caused by high cpu usage

meanwhile if i run salad on the host machine while mining on the host machine (not even using all threads), the app screws up and kills workloads and transitions, and in some cases even throws a connection error

its weird, idk

[olive lichen]

It's possible because the cores aren't like the RAM that can manage them dynamically. They'll be exclusive to a certain percentage. This should be explored further...

are you using win10/11 or something minimally modified?

[gleaming shell]

i use the official windows 11 build for my host machine and vms.

i didnt go with a stripped down installer in case that broke salad stuff

[olive lichen]

I was thinking about Windows 10 LTSC, It uses less resources, I use the host for many jobs

I'll try it tonight, I'll let you know.

[gleaming shell]

that works i believe

[civic tusk]

might be cut off since its running on 21H2’s windows 10 branch

[fossil onyx]

I have mini pc intel N100 cpu with integrated intel GPU. Should I keep CPU minin Ang GPU mining activated and Crypto mining enable ? I usually do 1.40$/day but I don’t know if it’s only bw sharing nor some mining (don’t think so) . What is your advise ? All is running smoothly till now with all activated

[misty furnace]

just leave it as-is if everything is working. Salad got rid of CPU mining a while back, and the integrated graphics are not supported for mining

your earnings are either full bandwidth or some cpu containers plus bandwidth

[olive lichen]

excellent configuration for the purpose, consumes nothing 10/15w, it's just bandwidth sharing

[fossil onyx]

0.25kw a day

[olive lichen]

I know, I had one as an Ubuntu home server, unfortunately the performance is what it is but if it's enough for what you need to do it's really the best in terms of consumption

[gleaming shell]

yeah id just leave it only to bandwidth sharing or occasional cpu containers

salad is NOT going to be able to handle a 4 thread cpu that is mining

[fossil onyx]

So I should disable cpu and gpu sharing and crypto mining options ?

[gleaming shell]

I'd leave gpu disabled (just so salad doesnt get degraded over "incompatible hardware"), keep cpu and bandwidth on
since you dont have any devices that can do crypto mining (atleast directly on salad), enabling or disabling crypto mining wont do anything

[fossil onyx]

Appreciate thanks

My status is always chop indefinitely, is it normal ?

[gleaming shell]

ohh man

if you manually started salad, its an indication some part of the app killed itself (if you manually started salad, no its not normal and its bugged)

[gleaming shell]

this sums it up

if you dont have a job right now, id stop salad, then start salad again

[fossil onyx]

I always have a job

[gleaming shell]

😭

just make sure if its battery-powered, keep it plugged in the ac adapter, and dont lock your computer

[fossil onyx]

It’s a mini desktop pc always on

[gleaming shell]

youre good then

[fossil onyx]

Ok 👌

[gleaming shell]

man this app and its amazing ability to swap my perfectly good gateway with a dead galbraith

[fossil onyx]

Wow never seen That

Continuos 30mb transfert . Usually it’s spikes then drop then spikes each seconds

[gleaming shell]

What country and gateway?

[fossil onyx]

France

Bandwidth-SGS-FR

[gleaming shell]

do you know the server it's connecting to? If you highlight some random area of the glasswire graph you should see something along the lines of "sgs--gateway.salad.com"

[fossil onyx]

Hold a sec

Sgs-carnation

[gleaming shell]

thanks

[gleaming shell]

holy strong traffic

[fossil onyx]

Week period

There is also SGS-FR-2 alsmost dead

And SGS-FR-C who is dead

[gleaming shell]

good to know

[fossil onyx]

What!! My salad app was killed

[gleaming shell]

im reccording which gateways have jobs and which ones dont since salad doesnt have an sgs gateway demand monitor and im sure there are many users who dont know theyre earning nothing off a dead gateway salad rng chose for them

[fossil onyx]

What happened

[gleaming shell]

like, the app completely disapeared?

[fossil onyx]

Yes

[gleaming shell]

huh 💀

[fossil onyx]

First time it did that

[gleaming shell]

i have never seen thag

[fossil onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/mauro-explosion-gif-18202200539280747207

Come one baby , get back my server

Ok sgs.client came back

[gleaming shell]

w

[fossil onyx]

Give me bandwidth traffic 🤣

[civic tusk]

how many pcs do you have running?

[gleaming shell]

four machines

aka in passive income app terms, a daycare center

[civic tusk]

i only run two nowadays because it isn’t worth running a third since i never get any container workloads funnily enough

[gleaming shell]

I'm on salad just for the she

sgs*

CPU containers are still suck

[civic tusk]

gpu containers are all thst i do

if any containers at all

and surprisingly i haven’t gotten a job in weeks despite having a lot of ram and a 3060

i guess salad wants more than 128gb or something

[civic nova]

You guys are lucky that when your CPU is under pressure only sgs client stops. I was playing minecraft at max settings and my salad itself got turned of somehow 😂😂😂. And CPU usage was still only 60 percent at the time of salad termination. Wierd stuff 🥲

[civic tusk]

for the first time, i think ever, i'm actually earning the average

[gleaming shell]

honeygain and pawns are horrendously slow 😭

just give me my final bit of earnings so i can cash out and quit using your stupid app

how does pawns.app takes months to earn like 40 cents

or maybe i could temporarily quit until earnings become good again (which 99.95% chance it wont because who cares about the users?) but then comes the fact that if im inactive for too long theyll STEAL/VOID MY BALANCE

so if i want to get the balance i am forced to use the app

[gleaming shell]

ok wtf i was just guessing that number, apparently if i want to get to the payout threashold on honeygain its ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE MONTHS 💀

just to earn that last few dollars

[civic tusk]

pawns app genuinely talks about some 100 bucks a year but barely giving me 5 cents a month

[gleaming shell]

am trying to earn atleast something so I can cash out

But it's like 2 cents per day

And it doesn't help that of course being passive income apps they NEVER fix ANYTHING, it doesn't help that they still do not have the mobile app ready for bandwidth sharing and it's still under so-called "maintenance" for months

[harsh geyser]

is this normal

my internet is kinda fast

[wooden vessel]

Wait for the jobs to come

[wooden vessel]

Stay connected bro, it would take days sometimes weeks or year too kidding

[wooden vessel]

Enable CPU and GPU for workload

[harsh geyser]

i want bandwidth only

should i still do it?

[wooden vessel]

Then all you have to do is wait

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately that is true 😭

stuff like salad bandwidth sharing and honeygains content delivery doesnt bless everyone

some people get it instantly, others dont get it for months upon months, even years

and all were given is were "in the queue" (which with how these get distributed, there probably not exist a queue system)

some people here have waited many months, almost a year to get sgs (including me), i believe one even did wait over a year

[tame flicker]

And others are stuck with saladbowlservice restarting every 5 minutes and redoing the speed test so sgs can't run at more than 3cent/day

[misty furnace]

restart your computer

[tame flicker]

i went to the point of reinstalling windows btw

tried in a vm

worked for 3weeks

and broke down

reinstalled the whole computer to win11 instead of 10

and never worked

btw still waiting for a fix from the official support for over a month

[gleaming shell]

i honestly might have to just start honeygain and pawns on my home ip at this point

its going to take monthe upon months for me to cash out these stupid apps

[stable niche]

Hi anyone using Canadian sgs have a complete dropoff for the day ? Quite unusual for our gateways

[misty furnace]

might just be a customer transitioning or possibly an outage on their end

or just reduced traffic

[visual snow]

I think bw sharing messed my ip

[dusk phoenix]

honeygain is hella worse

made 1$ in the last 30 days

so i gotta wait over 8 months to withdraw my balance

[frozen widget]

I waited for the last 2 years and withdrawed my balance just 2 days ago, a whopping 27$, minus like 15% in fees which they hide at the beginning. I mean if you're going to charge a fee that doesn't change, just make me earn 15% less

So it's a lot worse than salad

[civic nova]

If we have 2 internet connections of 100 Mbps each, can we use softwares like Speedify or Forcebind to add the speeds of both and use 1 - 200Mbps connection for bandwidth sharing? Is it possible and acceptable by salad?

[frozen widget]

If they use the same IP, probably yes

I am not sure how salad handles network sharing, if you manage to combine both into a single interface, then salad shouldn't notice a difference

[dim sage]

anyone know why on one my computers I max out at like 30mbps even on ethernet while on my other computer it gets around 200 mbps on the salad internet speed testing file

[misty furnace]

is it consistent? or is this just one measurement?

[dim sage]

It’s beeen consistent since I swapped the motherboard

[olive lichen]

Hi, a few days ago we talked about vm with windows, basically I can't install wsl2, even though I did the passthrough which worked perfectly, nested virtualization worked, but it doesn't see and can't use wsl2, have you had any of these problems?

Maybe the cause is Win 10 LTSC? You said you tried with 11

[gleaming shell]

I've only ever used a default build of windows 11 pro

[gleaming shell]

I've never experimented with GPU pass through. Though I think CPU containers work on my side

[dim sage]

@misty furnace

[misty furnace]

which one had the motherboard swapped?

[dim sage]

The one that has 30mbps before the swap it averaged 200 mbps

[misty furnace]

Have you tried another speedtest provider on that one? is it just librespeed being slow?

[dim sage]

other speedtest providers seem to work fine like the online ones I get like 1000 + mbps but librespeed is super slow for some reason even with the closest server

[olive lichen]

actually, I created another one with win 11 and it works, so I will use 11, there is something wrong with win 10 in vm. Passthrough I mean of the cpu, to not have it virtualized, and therefore lose less performance

for the gpu I use the pass through with ubuntu for nosana and it works very well, I can see if it also works with salad, but I don't need it for the moment....

[gleaming shell]

just make sure to uninstall the million unneeded apps 💀

[gleaming shell]

wonder if the new us customer will start doing stuff now thats its almost mid april

[tidal bough]

did ipqs vibe-revamp their website? they have three different navbar designs now
W consistency

[wooden vessel]

why did my sgs client died as soon as i started playing game

[serene falcon]

Cpu usage

[wooden vessel]

Yup any way to fix it 🥲

[serene falcon]

U run container jobs?

[wooden vessel]

nope

[serene falcon]

Then disbale virtual machine and windows linux subsystem from control panel features, will help alot

[wooden vessel]

anyother way ?

[serene falcon]

I haven't tried anything

[serene falcon]

This worked for me

[wooden vessel]

i see

[serene falcon]

I can play valorant and sgs runs fine

[visual snow]

my bw sharing

died down randomly

for like 30 hrs

restaarted everything alr tho

still not startingb

[robust creek]

i had to restart discord 😮

[frigid reef]

https://tenor.com/view/geeb-bruh-really-are-you-serious-gif-20129962

[wooden vessel]

rate decreased

[civic nova]

The rate is dynamic, It changes from country to country.

[mighty fractal]

what even happened

i think that this explains it

[wooden vessel]

Bw sharing 💀

[mighty fractal]

crazy right

i don't think anything started on these 2

[wooden vessel]

Yeah same as @civic nova

[mighty fractal]

is he italian

?

[wooden vessel]

Nope he's indian

[wooden vessel]

Where u from ?

[mighty fractal]

italy

[civic nova]

Nah, it's twice the speed and data used per hour than mine

[wooden vessel]

I see

[mighty fractal]

how much are you earning tho?

[civic nova]

At peak 0.7 per hour through bw sharing. Right now, it's 0.3 per hour. It's only using 140-150 Mbps download and 140-150 Mbps upload right now approx.

[mighty fractal]

oh wow so we are earning about the same but i'm sharing a lot more

[civic nova]

Yeah, it seems so for now.

[gleaming shell]

PLEASE

The dead gateway count is so bad and we need to easily be able to see what gateway we're on

Salad is (one of) the only app with this dead gateway issue

[gleaming shell]

amazing vegetable app paused itself again (cpu usage was idle too)

[wooden vessel]

🥲

[wooden vessel]

Even a slightest jump in cpu usage and bang salad gets in chopping indefinitely 🫠

[gleaming shell]

it has litterally killed itself over a virus scan before

[wooden vessel]

Never got mine killed by windows security

[gleaming shell]

it was a manual scan, but it just briefly puts load on your cpu for just a minute or two

[wooden vessel]

Gonna add salad in my exclusive list 😁

[swift trellis]

The data last few days has been great

[civic nova]

Do you really think salad sells our bw to stream video only?? Not on paper, In reality??

[upbeat shuttle]

probably

idk i forget, some customers might also be using it for scraping

[civic nova]

Yep, and download torrents also, I can feel it... Streaming a video's graph is very different from what I see mostly.

[wooden vessel]

What about doing illegal stuff through our internet ? Is there any protection for that ?

[civic nova]

Downloading torrent and scrapping websites for login credentials are in the top 5 most illegal things you can do.

[upbeat shuttle]

as part of the bandwidth sharing false claims a couple months ago, Salad said they'll properly limit what content customers can use sgs for. idk if they've actually made this change or not, just that they say they'll do it

previously they were only contractually limited to only stream legal video content

[civic nova]

Why will anyone use residential proxy to stream legal video content?? And on which platform they sell our bandwidth?? Do you anything about it?

[upbeat shuttle]

There's a website that tracks what torrents are going on with your IP, it's iknowwhatyoudownload.com - if you see nothing there then there's no torrenting going on. If there is something there though, it isn't necessarily from bandwidth sharing still.

[upbeat shuttle]

Mainly region locked content. It's why the UK is, and always has been the best for bandwidth sharing.

I'm pretty sure the biggest sgs customers are VPNs

I don't know which though

[wooden vessel]

so there's a lot of risk in bw , you can get legal notice from companies and isp can discontinue the internet

[civic nova]

This has happened to many users in last 5-6 months.

[wooden vessel]

and u aint afraid

[civic nova]

I am

[upbeat shuttle]

If you're on about the reddit posts, those were all fake

and personally I've never had any issues ever

[civic nova]

On iknowwhatyoudownload.com also, it shows almost 400 torrents downloaded from 12 AM to now today. And for that period this IP was only allocated to me.

[wooden vessel]

dont know its real or not but im afraid https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45612649

DanielChen7

Legal Notices and IP Bans resulting from Salad selling my bandwidth to a VPN

I turned on Salad’s Bandwidth Sharing and a few weeks later started getting legal notices addressed to my home IP from Sony and Amazon. Around the same time, multiple services started blocking my IP outright.What I saw while Salad was running:- Large volumes of outbound requests to Sony, Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and other major domains....

Hacker News · Oct 17, 2025, 1:56 AM

[upbeat shuttle]

This is one of those reddit posts lol

[wooden vessel]

oh i didnt searched on reddit

[upbeat shuttle]

It's the same guy and looks to be the exact same post, they probably just crossposted it to that other website too

[wooden vessel]

yeah

[upbeat shuttle]

Two of the comments on that post are also from brand new accounts, assumedly either the guy's alts or his collaborators for the whole drama

[wooden vessel]

what about leiko torrent ?

[upbeat shuttle]

If he's got a clean install of Windows running only Salad's bandwidth sharing, that'd be worth reporting to #official-support
But if there are any other devices or sus apps running on the IP, it becomes harder to be sure that it was caused by Salad

[wooden vessel]

@civic nova

[civic nova]

Nah, I don't care that much. I am earning. I am happy.

That's the only reason I am having traffic on my salad

[wooden vessel]

[mighty fractal]

hey! that's not me

[dusk phoenix]

lmao , for some reason War Thunder is using torrenting lol

both are the game

[misty furnace]

odd

[civic tusk]

for those wondering, no, even if you get 3 sgs clients, they will not increase your earnings (somehow)

[dusk phoenix]

i mean i dont blame them, they have an option to download with actual torrent

[gleaming shell]

did your salad just manage to screw over and start 3 instances 😭

also i bet theyre all galbraiths

i can guarantee

or its a swan or franklin or na-toolik

[civic tusk]

Two of them are the testing gateways for some reason and 1 was an eb

almost like the two were overwritten and eb was the only one connected

[gleaming shell]

i should make a tutorial on how to swap out dead jobless gateways sometime

theres only one way to do it right now

[gleaming shell]

usually the two testing gateways start first, the come the other gateways

[civic tusk]

yeah, today was one of the anomaly days for me. salad really really wanted me to get on an EB gateway on two devices, and decided to softlock me temporarily from getting any more SGS gateways for a limited amount of time on those devices

[gleaming shell]

oh yeah that happens

[robust creek]

i wonder why sometimes at 5am the sgs dies

always 5am

[wooden vessel]

Send me too 👍🏻

[civic nova]

Why the most annoying part of bw sharing is LIBRESPEEDDDDDDDDDDDD????????? 😪

[gleaming shell]

In my opinion, it's the dead gateways that have no reason to exist that salad loves to rng to us

or the stupid gateway swapping

but yeah libresheit sucks too

[civic nova]

Sadly it's not. I have 300 Mbps symmetrical and On world's every renowned speedtest website, It always shows and is still showing 320Mbps UP/DOWN, But, this amazing 9th "Wonder of the World" is on another level. It will either give me 30-40 Mbps Download and 4 Mbps Upload or vice versa... + On their website only Japan one was 1 server which was giving me consistent 40-50 Mbps both download and upload, But But But, when I start salad and try it to forcefully use that........... It just says server not respondinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Over that, some servers give 250-300 Mbps either download or upload and the other one of the two is just 4 Mbps 5 Mbps.... So dead

[gleaming shell]

Oh yeah some of the servers just suck

Oh and for some reason it loves to sometimes kill itself 1/3 into the upload test but continuing to record so it just adds 0.00mbps to the average

idk sgs is kinda weird to obtain and always has been

got to make sure your Internet speeds are desirable, have an IP that is desirable (which there's no way to reliably check), then pass through a gamble of a pool of a bit of alive gateways over dead ones

[civic nova]

Yes... I don't know the reason too.... Maybe their servers just overload mid testing 😂

[civic nova]

Chess is easier than finding good traffic

[gleaming shell]

yep lmao

good luck if youre in the us

[gleaming shell]

Yeah unfortunately unlike ooklas speestest where there's many servers and many of them are literally from the user ISP, libresheit only has sponsored servers

So not many

And very far away most likely

[civic nova]

Yeah 🥲

[civic nova]

Distance should affect ping, I get that, But speed? 😪 🥲

[stable niche]

I'm a little new to the sgs side of things still. Is it pinging servers far away in error so we are disqualified for jobs ?

[upbeat shuttle]

what?

[granite steppe]

???

[granite steppe]

@misty furnace

[granite steppe]

dead?

[dark meteor]

Is it possible for an ISP to stop SGS running but let Containers still load? i had SGS running in the UK for two years up to feb this year…. And then nothing on all 4 rigs…. It’s with support but so far all I get told is use obliterator and then down load salad again…no fix…and i cannot seem to find anyone who can help

[granite steppe]

u want to stop sgs from running?

u can disable bandwidth sharing

[dark meteor]

No…..

[granite steppe]

so.....

[dark meteor]

I cannot get it running

[granite steppe]

same with many ppl

just let ur salad stay on 24/7 and have a good internet

[dark meteor]

I dont think you have read my post properly

I had SGS running for two years straight in the UK and then it stopped since Feb

I have 1gb up and 1gb down

[granite steppe]

many ppl are not getting sgs bro

u gotta wait

did u changed ur isp?

[dark meteor]

It’s not because of a lack of SGS jobs…i am in the UK…..

No change of ISP

[granite steppe]

then idk bro cuz many many ppl are not getting sgs nowadays

[dark meteor]

I think you will find most get it in the UK

[misty furnace]

dns issue I think.

[granite steppe]

so what do i dooooooo

[granite steppe]

ik uk ppl get like 3 - 4 dollars in 24 hrs from sgs

or more

[misty furnace]

can you visit librespeed.org in your browser?

[granite steppe]

NOWAY TS GOT BEAUTIFULLLL

@misty furnace

[misty furnace]

ok it's not a dns thing then, since you can visit the site in your browser

try restarting salad to get the speed test to run again

[granite steppe]

yeah im doing that

just why am i getting this issue

[misty furnace]

it could have been just a small internet connection drop

[granite steppe]

ok sir

ayush reporting on duty

[gleaming shell]

libresheit kills itself like that sometimes

i hate how salad cant detect non-container related errors

sgs client fails to connect, libresheit dies, gpu miners cant connect, yet salad still visually displays and runs it as if nothing happened without degraded errors

[gleaming shell]

Amazing app can't even detect errors on SGS client, their own workload that THEY made.
I still remember the dandelion gateway incident, and incompatible xmrig on Intel arc

[gleaming shell]

FINALLY i can cash out on this stupid app and stop using it 😭

(pawns)

that was the longest 5 dollars ever

nevermind i guess, go screw yourselves

[gleaming shell]

why show a progress bar up to 5 dollars

IF I NEED MORE THAN THAT TO CASH OUT

JUST SHOW ME THE ACTUAL AMOUNT

its gonna take another like month just to get that few cents with this stupid app 😭 (not including the killing itself no reason that every passsive income app absolutely loves to do)

[narrow tiger]

maybe thats just windows at this point

[civic nova]

You Lucky B**** ☠️ ☠️

[wooden vessel]

Got this app running for almost 2 years and can't even reach 2$ 😭🤣

[gleaming shell]

ok nevermind, turns out i can withdraw, i just need 5.01

probably did some lossy rounding 💀

[gleaming shell]

ive ran it for around 2 years before without cashing out and all i got was 25 dollars. that was with TWO ips...

anyways i can finally quit this app

[wooden vessel]

[gleaming shell]

pawns and honeygain earn so bad right now it doesnt even break even on the electricity on a low-power laptop

[gleaming shell]

doesnt help that of course passive income devs making the worst abomination of apps ever, removed their mobile app for so-called "maitenence" and then never brought it back

[wooden vessel]

True honeygain is dead almost

[gleaming shell]

yeah pretty much all bandwidth sharing apps suck now

only ones that even potentially give anything is earnapp if youre in the us (but they suck balls too as a company), and salad (its a 2-way barrier since its the only app with a dead gateway issue)

[wooden vessel]

Waiting for the beta testing earnapp devs about to release i hope they won't suck at the end

[gleaming shell]

yeah idk how it'll go

I don't ever trust any passive income devs these days 💀

[wooden vessel]

[gleaming shell]

can't make a "set and forget" app that doesn't kill itself within a week of no-monitoring

[wooden vessel]

App killing itself is the worst thing of all

[gleaming shell]

unfortunately it's something that happens with like 90% of apps

Hell, salad doesn't even have the ability to detect non-container workload related errors, including workloads salad made themselves (SGS client)

And of course, no auto retry

[misty furnace]

honeypain

[wooden vessel]

Yup , need to end bowl service to start sgs again

[gleaming shell]

it's funny how you can straight up block an SGS gateway, and salad will still give it to you
And of course, the many month dandelion incident

[wooden vessel]

HoneyPain ❌
HoneyEnd ✅

[gleaming shell]

they keep lowering the pay rate (and now of course it can't even break even electricity, even with lucky pot and content delivery

Yet the payout threshold is still 20 dollars and they still expire users balance after 6 months

So people are basically still forced to use it, or forfeit their balance 💀

[misty furnace]

content delivery is an excuse to use more bandwidth without paying more

[gleaming shell]

Pay-per-time as a whole yep

[wooden vessel]

They almost halved the pay rate without any announcement 🤣 making it dead

[gleaming shell]

They halved the pay rate with no heads up or announcement

And they also silently removed the data usage monitor on the dashboard... Very suspicious

And they claim "transparency"

[wooden vessel]

I remember honeygain used almost 3 TB of data and don't even pay for that they said it's not paid per gb 🫠

[gleaming shell]

I know someone whose Honeygain used like 400? GB and of course they got paid the static 14 cents 💀

[wooden vessel]

[granite steppe]

IS IT HARSH?

[gleaming shell]

maybe 💀

Someone here

[granite steppe]

[olive lichen]

do you know which of the 2 I have to disable to "not get" sgs on this specific host? Video o adult

[upbeat shuttle]

video streaming is bandwidth sharing

adult content is a type of gpu container

[fossil onyx]

It mean if you have no serious GPU we can disable adult only ?

[upbeat shuttle]

i guess if you wanna, makes no difference if you've got GPU disabled though

[gleaming shell]

I love how salad still has a mixup of "bandwidth sharing" with "video streaming", the weird elevated permissions color (oh and its still mentioning CPU mining which has been silently gutted for months)

oh right and for some reason the video streaming isn't grayed out for countries with no bandwidth sharing, and it's in the chopping power too

[humble wharf]

How many SGS instances can run simultaneously under a single user account? I’m asking because I have two machines on two different internet connections, and SGS stopped on one of them and immediately started on the other.

Is there any kind of limit regarding this?

[olive lichen]

I think it depends on the area, I have 2 different sgs, if I turn on the 3rd pc it steals the sgs from one of the pc that is using it... at least that's how it is for me

Look at the logs, you should see one or more sgs directories. From the photo you attached, one appears to have started before the other closed. So it's likely that the same thing worked for some time on both machines. Check if you can.

[robust creek]

finally some traffic after a while

[gleaming shell]

bipolar bandwidth 💀

[robust creek]

died again

[gleaming shell]

love this vegetable app and it's surprisingly amazing ability to kill itself in multiple ways over a moderately high CPU usage

went to shower and by the time I got back the app went degraded, then proceeded to pause itself, then proceeded to throw a "connection delay"

[empty hinge]

GUYS SGS CAME BACK ( only for 2 seconds ) BUT IT CAME BACK AFTER almost 1.5 years

[gleaming shell]

💀

Then it died

[empty hinge]

its back

i mean its on static pay

but

it is there

my unemployed ahh after watching those 0.001 $

[civic tusk]

werent those new sgs gateways supposed to have bandwidth jobs mid April?

[gleaming shell]

yeah but no updates yet :(

Maybe soon

[half tendon]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to ask something out of curiosity.
Has anyone here from the US, India, or other countries where bandwidth sharing is available ever faced any kind of legal issue because of it?
Like, has your ISP ever called you and asked you to stop, or have you received any suspicious calls or notices from legal authorities, police, or anyone saying that some scam or cyberattack was done through your connection and now you’re responsible?

I’m just trying to understand if this actually happens in real life, whether it’s something small or something serious.I’ve seen a few stories on Reddit and Google, but most moderators say those are just rumors and there’s no real proof behind them. Just wanted to hear real experiences so I can take proper precautions before getting into bandwidth sharing.
