TIPS TO MINIMIZE EARNING DROP-OUTS

You may see intermittent drop-outs in earnings - there may be periods of $0.0000 earning rate. This is expected on Salad as our network needs vary from day to day. For example, you might see higher earning rates one day when certain Container jobs are in demand, and see lower earning rates a few days later when those jobs are no longer needed. You are not guaranteed to get a CPU or GPU Container 24/7. That said, there are some things you can do to increase your odds:

1. Bandwidth sharing does not display estimated earnings. If you have disabled mining workloads, and have not received a container workload it is possible that you are earning even if your estimated earnings are zero.
2. Give it some time! For Container workloads, our most reliable chefs with the best hardware will get priority on the network. So make sure you are ready and able to chop Containers when they are available. 
3. Salad runs best when it's the only program using your GPU.  If you're gaming or using software that requires hardware acceleration your earning rates will be negatively affected.  Reminder: Salad is best used when afk!

STILL NOTHING?

If none of the above works and you never get an earning rate, consider these:

1. Make sure Salad is not being blocked by your antivirus or firewall. You can follow our guide to solve this here: 
2. If you're on a laptop, make sure you're plugged into power.
3. Well, sometimes it's just not meant to be.  We can't offer any money for lost earning time, so if you're uncomfortable with this then please don't use Salad.
