Salad Overview

What is Salad?

Salad activates latent compute resources from idle gaming PCs on the web’s most trusted computesharing network. Our users (the mighty “Salad Chefs”) turn a wealth of underutilized processing power and bandwidth into games, gift cards, subscriptions for streaming and audio services, and more epic loot. Every year, Salad Chefs use the power of their PCs to redeem over 3,000,000 digital and real-world items from the Salad Storefront. Our recently introduced PayPal integration allows our users to spend their Salad Balance anywhere PayPal is accepted. Forthcoming SaladPay checkout options will give everyday webizens like you even more ways to #PayWithYourPC. With over 100,000 users earning every month, we’ve made inroads into a mostly untapped global market. Now we’re ready to unveil SaladCloud, an entirely people-powered cloud computing solution for enterprises. SaladCloud services are equally performant and far more affordable than conventional cloud solutions, and our workload-agnostic infrastructure allows us to deploy nearly any task to our user-side marketplace. Whether the job’s P2P bandwidth sharing, AI inference training, applied edge computing—or anything else that takes *hard crunching*—it’s no match for our infinite Kitchen.

Through Salad, gamers across the globe can utilize their PC’s full computing power to earn monetary (and non-monetary) rewards at just the push of a button.

What do you like best about Salad?

- What's helpful about Salad is that I could make a profit with my GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and my CPU (Central Processing Unit). I have used Salad for one year and have received $40+. I run Salad for 30 minutes per day which slow my earnings. I have redeemed my $35 Salad balance for Amazon Gift Card, which I used to buy some clothes, and some gadgets. Salad has changed my life, I got a new clothes and gadgets by just doing nothing. Without Salad, I'm unable to afford that.

- Since I stopped using salad six months ago, I missed so many updates, and I didn't even know that now I could mine with CPU (Central Processing Unit), And I received many benefits for being Salad's veteran user. There is also a level feature that will reward you something based on your level. My favorite part is that I could mine with my CPU when I don't have a compatible GPU since my GPU is integrated because I'm using a notebook/laptop on my home (I had mined with dedicated GPU with my friend's desktop a month ago) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salad?

- What is least helpful about Salad is that Salad lags my laptop. Even after it was disabled, I got like 12+ FPS after stopped mining with Salad (I know Salad is best to use when I'm away from my laptop)

- I never experienced something terrible with Salad's feature, but I've experienced a bug that people could make a profit with, It happens spontaneously (It happened when I'm using public Desktop) I forgot to disable the salad before turning the PC off, and doesn't realize that salad is still running even when the computer is off this happened seven months ago and got fixed after I log into my Salad on a Desktop/PC that was bugged Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salad:

If you don't use your pc too much, then yes, if you still love your dedicated GPU, then no Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salad solving and how is that benefiting you?

- I have never been contacting Salad's customer service. Every problem that I experienced is fixed by tutorial

- The benefits I have realized: A delightful Crypto mining software, a way to use my GPU or CPU more efficiently, a doing-nothing profit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salad?

that it's possible to get some free stuff like discord nitro or a hypixel rank without paying anything but instead using the power of my macbook to mine some crypto Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salad?

that the earn rate on macbook is very low because only cpu mining is possible. it would be nice if gpu mining was also available on mac or that the earn rate with cpu is higher. because just a couple of cents is just way to little compared to the power used.

also I've tried the surveys and they just keep going without paying anything, I should've at least earned a dollar from that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salad:

If you want to use Salad it would be best if you use it with windows, not mac os. I've seen on their discord that many earn more with Windows with some of the newer graphic cards that they have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salad?

I like how Salad uses your pc resources when its idle so you don't have to worry about it going on when you are doing something more resource heavy. This program has allowed me to gift friends and it has also allowed me to treat myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salad?

I dislike the fact that you could mine for 9 hours and get not to much money. I also dislike the fact that salad will not allow you to use old GPU's For example I have a msi nvidia GT710 its a kepler but only has 1gb of vram. This would possibly have better results than my CPU. Other than those little things it is overall a good application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salad:

If you have a decent PC its quick money. Even if your pc is not that you will still get money but just not as fast. Best Product out there for money. You literally just idle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salad solving and how is that benefiting you?

The benefits I have gotten with salad is that it is free money. It has allowed me to give gifts to my friends and it also allowed me to treat myself. Its so simple open the app login or signup. click start on CPU or GPU and it mines. Just like that free money. There are so many rewards to choose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salad?

You want to leave your PC calculating while your AFK and earn some Pocket Money? Then use Salad. It’s mega easy. Download Salad, click on Start and your earning money. Salad is also offering a simple, unique and user friendly UI, so you will Never get lost in the Programm. Although the most important thing at Salad is the Redeem System, all the Redeems you do will be legit/safe payed, so you don’t have to worry about scam.

And the most nice thing about salad is, the Discord Server. There are some nice people to learn, that are friendly and communicating. So if you need help, want to chat with people and have fun or join any Events like Reddit Banners and yoink some money with you, then join salad Discord.

All tougher Salad is offering the best and easiest user experience you will need for the Mining.

What do you dislike about Salad?

In my opinion, there are nothing to criticize, because of the Thing, that the Staff Team is really fast in answering user questions. Salad do the Money Convert for you, so that you do not need make itself. And the Rewards are fast there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salad:

If you want earn money while AFK, then it is something for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salad solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sometimes NiceHash(Salads API) is down, so that the payouts are delayed. Should NiceHash been down, salad would compensate the money with a 2x Mining Booster Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salad?

I really like Salad for the community, which is constantly bustling with active members and completed by nice staff.

The app itself also allows user to make money almost for free! I mean, that's some pretty *best* thing right there! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salad?

There are still some features missing in my opinion, but that is to be expected on an alpha app. As a laptop user, I would like to see a feature where you can throttle GPU usage, because the heat generated by my laptop just doesn't make it a viable option for me - yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salad:

If you have enough power on your PC and it supports the heat, I truly suggest your use of Salad.io. Users are getting upwards of $18 per week, which is quite considerable if you think about it, for just leaving your PC on during the day...

And if you have questions, their dedicated support both in the discord server and from their website as well as reddit and their forum can help you quick.

I don't see why someone wouldn't want to use Salad... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salad solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have translated some parts of Salad - mainly done some FAQ and website help, but if they need someone for the app, they have me!

I have made thanks to Salad quite a lot of balance ($700), so I can definitely say that I've made some benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salad?

The best thing about Salas is that even though we mine crypto currency we don't have to find someone to exchange it in real money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salad?

Sometimes keys don't get delivered due to some bug. Even though their support staff provides the keys later, during holiday season their staff is like non existent and it takes some time for your stuck keys to get delivered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salad:

The amount you earn actually depends on your electricity rate so calculate accordingly. And it uses your gpu heavily so make sure you have proper cooling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salad solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main benefit is that it acts like my pocket money which I can spend however I like. After lockdown my parents stopped my pocket money and so salad came out I could earn some money basically free and could spend however I liked it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salad?

What I like most about Salad is definitely the storefront interface that makes it super easy to redeem rewards. I also find it very intuitive to manage when Salad should be running , and the automatic start and stop feature is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salad?

In my opinion, what could use some work is the user interface surrounding the earnings page. I've made a post about this on the forum which got some traction, but it was never addressed at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salad solving and how is that benefiting you?

I only use Salad to check out upcoming games and get cool rewards, but I find it super cool how these game developers can get their game out there via such an interesting and fun platform! "Chopping" with Salad is a great way to utilize my computer's idle time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salad?

I like that I can make money to buy games on steam and or visa cards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salad?

I feel some of the prices don't match that the current games are on steam. I also feel that I may not be getting a 1 for 1 of what im actually minning so seeing that I have to say pay 2.50 cents extra to cash out for a 100 visa card i feel like im getting ripped off a little since like i said i might not be getting a 1 for 1 of what being mined. However i do not have the facts on this but feel it must happen to make profit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Salad:

Make sure you have a good graphic card . Also run salad.io when your sleeping or at work, or afk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salad solving and how is that benefiting you?

Just making extra money. Kind of wish I had direct deposit into my bank account. I could see the benefit of being able to put it directly in a bank account and then be able to reinvest the money mined into stocks on apps like Robinhood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Salad?

Salad is easy and free to use, providing ample opportunity to cash in prizes whilst not doing anything at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salad?

The prize pool on Salad, however, is very limited. If you wish to use the money you earned on Salad somewhere else your best option is to buy a Gift Card and pay online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Salad solving and how is that benefiting you?

Salad itself provides a great source of secondary income to those with personal computers. Just this month alone I personally have made 100 dollars, entirely within my sleep! All that needs to be done is turn Salad on and leave your computer running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
