as advertised and more.

easy to use, secure and straight forward. Once I earned enough for my reward it paid out instantly. Well other sites make me wait up to a week for the reward to process

Fraud service stole my money after i closed my organization because of their incompetent service

Closed my organization and they forfeited my credits and said there was a warning that my credits would be gone, then i emailed them and they replied saying it can not be reversed or undone

So basically they stole my money because i clicked a button

Then when i got mad at them for this response , the completely changed the subject and said “oh we do actually refund , but you were rude to us so we cant refund anymore” im paraphrasing but basically

- stole my money
- asked why
- said i clicked okay on a warning and it cant be undone
- called it stupid and ridiculous and fraud
- lies about refunding usually but now thay i was rude to them they wont

Where was the talk about refund before i was rude? 😂 theives just need excuses to do fraud broke company losing money soon bankrupt

Advertised Earnings Are Misleading

While Salad does technically pay you for your video card the pay is extremely low compared to what they advertise.

To get the value the advertise would require running your PC on Salad 24/7 which means you'll spend more in electricity than you earn.

in the philippines my 5070 ti and 4060…

in the philippines my 5070 ti and 4060 doesn't really get much jobs. In got one and run for 24hrs and used my 4060 pc then got gpu disabled duue to performance issue and no jobs coming in for 3 days.

also in the philippines when a container is being downloaded , it is always getting transfered to faster because the download speed is to slow. even though i have 2 ISP 2ith 400 and 200mbps

only one pc can do bandwidth jobs. Confirmed this even though my pc is on another ISP. I confirmed this whenn i disconnect salad from my other PC Bandwidth becomes disabled.

Does what it claims to do and does it very well.

Payouts are good, a lot of options to choose from. Paypal, gift cards, you've got roblox and minecraft stuff if that's what you're into. It's a great tool if you just want to let it do it's thing and make you a little bit of change for a game or whatever here and there.

Malware!

I installed the service on a month old Ryzen 9, RTX5090, 96GB, 4 tb SSD PC. It prompted me to reboot and immediately sent me into an infinite Automatic Repair loop on Windows 11 Pro. I am doing a system restore and hoping this malware is eliminated. Do not use!

This is pretty much a total scam

This is pretty much a total scam, I use more electricity than I get paid plus putting wear and tear on an $8000 plus dollar set up. They prioritize your machine when you first login & set up. Which makes things look good, and then after about a week they drop the job prices down to under $0.20 per hour while you're using 30 cents per hour to run the equipment. And yes I do know the exact numbers because I have an energy monitor hooked up to my computer I can see the difference for when salad was running versus when it wasn't and they like to show you how much they project you're going to make in the next hour. So yeah! my recommendation to anybody that ever looks at using their computer system to run salad, do not do it!
