Salad

Our proposal to join @rendernetwork as a subnet has passed! Payments and rewards are moving on-chain with $RENDER, bringing lower costs for customers and more flexibility for the Chefs who power our network. Full story from our Founder, Bob Miles 👇 blog.salad.com/salad-joins-re…

State of Salad - Episode 265 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@JohnEnglishTech Hey - thanks for reaching out. Could you dm me your salad email?

@Salad_Chefs Hey - I never saw a single “bonus” sent over and I’ve been asking for help with a login issue without any resolve. I can’t use your service or provide hardware for the network until I get this login issues resolved. Please advise! This has been going on for weeks now.

Microsoft's CO2 emissions: up 25% this year to 20.29 million metric tons, driven predominantly by datacenter expansion. Salad is the answer to AI's footprint problem. Our cloud runs on consumer GPUs already sitting in gamers' PCs, that would otherwise be sitting idle.

Milwaukee just swapped a planned datacenter for housing and a public library after "significant local opposition." Communities are saying no to new datacenter builds. Our cloud runs on consumer GPUs already in people's homes 🥗

@gpuautopilot We have no 4090s idle. The post said 4090s and 5090s at 100% utilization. The reason they were idle before was customers coming and going. We also don't have dynamic marketplace listings.

@Salad_Chefs Looks like a 4090 booking nonstop at 16.5c while the same card sits idle at 27c elsewhere. GPU Autopilot watches booking pace and nearby asks, raises the hot listing, trims the cold one, and keeps both inside your floor and ceiling without a manual repricing pass.

RTX 4090s and RTX 5090s back at 100% utilization! Well, the break didn't last long! As of yesterday, all 4090s and 5090s should be getting jobs again. 4090s are at medium priority or higher ($0.165/hr - $0.18/hr), and 5090s range from low to high ($0.217/hr - $0.27/hr).

I can look into it for you - I just need the logs. And if you think it's been going on for a long time, I'll need your Salad signup email so I can look deeper into the activity history. Salad should never use your resources while paused, for the record, and I have my doubts that that's what was happening - but I can get more certainty with logs/signup email and other info.

Milestones 1 & 2 of RNP-023 are live! ✅ Customers can now fund SaladCloud with $RENDER, and Chefs can redeem their Salad Balance for RENDER tokens sent straight to their own Solana wallet. Chefs have already redeemed 2k+ RENDER in the first few days. Full story from our Founder, Bob Miles 👇 blog.salad.com/salad-x-render…

I looked over all the posts - I see this it not the same issue I was describing above, but rather you're claiming that Salad was running while paused. I must now be imperative that I need to see logs - that shouldn't be possible and I can dive into the machine's activity to see with those.

I believe this was a bug that affected ~100 users or less for a 1 - 2 day duration. We've been sending out affected users bonuses to compensate the lost time, but haven't found everyone. Please message me and I will send you the bonus myself. Also - if you're amenable to it, could you share logs with me so I can see what and when exactly it happened, and what version of Salad you were on?

@DiddyMotion Pausing Salad will absolutely stop any workloads from running on your machine. If it looked like it was still running, please send me your logs - I'll be able to see exactly what the app was doing and get you some answers.

@DiddyMotion @bobscuresalad What kind of elevated permissions do you mean? Salad can use your resources to the full extent of their capabilities, and Chefs are compensated relative to the most valuable component - the GPU. Was Salad using two different machines? Not paying at proper rates Something else?

@DiddyMotion @rendernetwork @render As I said in your other posts, please send us the logs so we can figure out what was happening precisely. Salad shouldn't use any of your resources while paused, CPU or otherwise. Also, 4090s should be earning at least $0.145/hr+ right now, you were seeing $0.05 on yours?

@DiddyMotion @rendernetwork @render Please see my response to the other posts - I'll need your Salad logs to see what was going on on the machine, as it should be incapable of pulling resources while paused.

@DiddyMotion We missed this yesterday - but I've replied to several of your other posts. If Salad says it's paused, it shouldn't be able to pull any of your resources at all. Please send me your Salad logs so I can figure out what happened.

@DiddyMotion I mentioned elsewhere that we had an error with some Chefs not getting earnings properly - but if the Salad widget said it was paused, we absolutely should not have been using any resources on the PC. Could you please share your Salad logs with me so I can take a look?

@Salad_Chefs x.com/DiddyMotion/st… care to explain

Nvidia's next-gen Vera Rubin GPUs hit the market late 2026... and almost the entire supply will get funneled into hyperscalers. Reserved for the biggest buyers. Everyone else waits. SaladCloud's consumer GPUs are live today. Deploy in a few clicks: salad.com/pricing

@DiddyMotion I responded to you on the other post - definitely open to a conversation and figuring out what went wrong on your machine, and compensating any losses we caused of course.

@DiddyMotion That first part is strange, most customer workloads don't run the CPU at 100% - it's the GPU that gets up there in usage. On electricity costs: if you're in a country or region with high costs, definitely check vs. Salad earnings (found live here: salad.com/earn/demand)

@gpuautopilot Forgive me, but what does that actually mean/look like?

@Salad_Chefs 100% utilization at $0.165-$0.27/hr is exactly where static asks start leaking upside. GPU Autopilot keeps 4090 and 5090 listings repricing with demand, so operators can hold the booking streak without leaving medium and high priority inventory underpriced.
