Salad Not Mining (CPU + GPU) (on a low spec laptop)

[minor basalt]

I recently downloaded and installed salad on my secondary laptop. And whenever I click the play button ▶️ on the salad widget, it doesn't mine. It just says "Running" and my balance would not move at all. I waited 2 hours to check if the balance have increased, still nothing.

I have enabled GPU & CPU acceleration

Note that I'm using my secondary laptop for salad, that's why it has low specs.

iGPUs aren't supported

[minor basalt]

how about CPU

does it work if i turn off GPU and let CPU mine?

[dense pivot]

cpu mining was discontinued #announcements message

[minor basalt]

bruh

does that mean i cant mine on my secondary laptop anymore?

is there any way i can mine with these specs?

[dense pivot]

You can't

[minor basalt]

does bandwidth mining help?

[dense pivot]

If you are in a country that is supported by bandwidth sharing yes

[minor basalt]

well, i guess its not supported. the only choice i have is uninstalling salad

thanks for helping me though!

have a good day sir 👋

Hi, your cpu is supported for cpu container, these are rare to get atm but its still possible to get. I would suggest to to have cpu enabled and leave it chopping

when you get a container job salad will start giving you earnings

[minor basalt]

should i leave it on running for 24h to get the container job?

[minor basalt]

i should still turn off the GPU right?

[spare steeple]

Gpu won’t make a difference on or off, so I would just keep it off, also yes best to keep salad on for as long as you can for your best chance to get a container job

[minor basalt]

if salad stops running, and i start it again, will it start to mine immediately, or should i wait long for it to get a container job again?

[minor basalt]

i hope you understood that

[spare steeple]

You will have to wait for a job again

[minor basalt]

oh man

how long does it take, according to your knowledge?

[warm breach]

very

[minor basalt]

like?

7 hours?

[tribal lynx]

longer

[warm breach]

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy longer

[minor basalt]

damn

i turned on the miner 6pm in april-9, now its 5 am in april-10

still $0.00

12 hours isnt enough ig

[minor basalt]

bro i waited 17 hours

still nothing

man i give up

How do I get acess To Mine

[timber abyss]

what

[latent forge]

you need to wait for a ticket to spawn in and get you access to the Salad Mines™️

to start waiting, you need to install salad and press start for a chance at the ticket

after you get the ticket you will earn 20 cents per day

I am using Windows 7 Pc would it work

[latent forge]

no

no one uses windows 7

why support it

[wind basin]

Alright

[pastel dragon]

is india supported yet?

[dense pivot]

No

[pastel dragon]

aight

[latent forge]

actually its being tested in india so you might have it

[pastel dragon]

ok

also is it really difficult to get a cpu container?

and what is the ideal cpu space/ram i should leave just for containers

[dusky pumice]

you can use your secondary laptop

its just very slow

you either get terrible or no containers

[minor basalt]

i waited 17 hours man

still got no container job

i gave up because i'll have to wait another 17 hours to get a container job if i turn off my secondary laptop

[pastel dragon]

i've been running a pretty decent container for the last like 16-17 hours

making approx 0.78 cents every hour

for a cpu that's godly

i'm more than willing to leave my laptop on as long as the container runs

also... how long do cpu containers run on average before stopping?

[dusky pumice]

until you accidently pause your 0.90/24hrs container like I did once

[pastel dragon]

man i'm so tempted to pause it rn 😭

i wanna like play some games
