Salad Reviews 

i have cashout lot of money use it on my pc and it work great i haven't had any problems

money guaranteed

top goals, if have one daily reward will be better

If you have a good gaming computer that isn’t used often, you can earn some extra cash on the side. However, the program may be buggy at times, and some viruses can interfere with its functionality.

Cool experience

There is a lot to say here, but this is what users need to know about the experience:

After running 3 instances to run batch data-processing workflows at 50mbps traffic each for several weeks, I received an email from them saying that amount of bandwidth necessitates a $0.15/gb charge that they're going to also back-bill me for to the beginning of the month. We're talking ~$7000/mo in traffic charges here for running 3 instances that tap out around 50-60mbps. And when I tell them no, they tell me it is part of a larger plan to introduce traffic charges to users. As a contrast to that, I also run instances on Vast and get charged less than $2/mo for similar network traffic that runs in the 700-1200mbps range. There is nothing odd we are doing with this workflow. Its simply a heavy data-processing workflow, and frankly you can't even find commercial services that run at 50-60mbps because it is too slow to pay for. I can publish the emails sent about this if anyone wants further verification.

Instance performance - Instances are interruptable and don't perform anywhere near the same throughput as instances on other providers. We tried deploying on multiple RTX5090 instances (that we also have deployed on other providers). There was clear attractiveness in the pricing, however after actually deploying them we found that they performed at around 20% of the max throughput of our non-Salad infrastructure. We have some custom workflows that batch process data with a quantized Qwen model with a low token cap. On 2 other providers we process 30k-33k requests/hr through the stack. On Salad 5090 instances, every one we tried capped out at around 5k-6k/hr. So, we would have to deploy ~6 5090 instances on Salad to reach the throughput of 1 on our other providers. During research to try to solve this, it largely came down to the instances operating in a WSL environment, with some also being because of slow bandwidth from the instances or inadequate power. Ironically, we're talking 15-60mbps bandwidth that they now want to charge ~$7k/mo to use across 3 instances.

That causes quite a shift in in the value proposition...
From: "we're cheaper and decentralized"
To: "we'll provide 10% of the bandwidth and 20% of the GPU throughput at slightly cheaper than competitors, unless you actually use 50mbps network traffic all month - in which case we'll say we're going to back bill you thousands of dollars at an absurd rate for network traffic that is literally too slow to buy. But, also be aware that the 5090 pricing will also necessitate you running 6 instances to get the same throughput as 1 on other providers, and you'll have to run more than 1 because they're all interruptable."

Inventory - The available instance inventory is highly inaccurate. Initially deploying on instances their inventory said had more than 50 available would stay un-allocated because those instances either weren't actually available or some other issue with their allocation engine.

Customer service - Prior to deploying I had sent some questions to the support inbox. The last support question I asked them, they responded to after 8-9 days.

The experience is accurate and speaks for itself.

Time to harvest salad. It's not worth it anymore.

looks amazing, ill improve my set up and Ill try to have another computer

As a alpha user of Salad and having used it for 30,000+ chopping hours, I have had many different experiences with this service/company. Overall, they have (in my opinion) impeccably responsive and fairly helpful service agents, and their software has always worked well. Even the beta versions often have no bugs, and they work well with people to fix anything. I also think they adapted to a need early, selling computing power rather than solely crypto-mining, and have handled most things fairly well. They have a dedicated discord community with many updates and people who can help out besides just employees.

The few issues I have had have mostly been caused by my own mistakes/issues, but the support is able to resolve most issues. At the end of the day, keeping your money safe and your business going is most important, and I think working with salad as a distributed computing supplier or a customer of their cloud services is a safe bet.

Most recently, on August 13th, I had an issue with my account in such a way that I needed to close to account and transfer the full account balance to another account for my own reasons. By the morning of that Saturday, August 15th, after only a few emails with the support, my transfer was completed quickly and the handoff was smooth.

You shouldn't expect to make boat-loads of money with this program. But it does allow you to earn some idle money while you aren't on your PC--so if the noise of your idle fans doesn't bother you, then why not make a little supplemental income?

Edit: It says below this "Unprompted Review" which just isn't true, it was encouraged. Wanted to put that out there.

Great app for anyone who wants some money on the side for anything really.

Very good and fast customer support, I ordered a PSN gift card, was delievered immediately!

Extreeeme Good

i cant redem

Literally amazing I cashed out in less then 10 seconds I just clicked a link and done, I only took a week to start making 3 cent an hour

30 dollars in less than 2 months is pretty decent for only a 3060ti. good shit, never had an issue with a paiement so far
