My 3 years journey with salad , without a gpu/cpu , only with 200 mbps bandwidth sharing !
So almost 3 years ago I downloaded salad for i think the most common reason people usually download salad for ig is TO GET REAL MINECRAFT JAVA. I did not had my own money and I didnt wanted to ask my parents for a game to purchase so I was like always searching "how to get minecraft free" on yt and ended up finding salad.
My plan was that i will run it for like 3-4 months, reach 24$ ( at that time cost of minecraft was 23.99$ , I still remember ) , buy minecraft, and then just delete it. And I did buy it and deleted it too, but I was not finished with my online purchases yet
Weeks later , I wanted to buy a rank so bad in the hypixel server of mc which is like 10$ so i had to install it again and I kept it running in the background and it kept earning. As we know that keeping laptop in sleep mode disables salad and windows laptop goes to sleep when u close the lid ,but there is an option to turn this feature off in settings , I didnt knew this at that time and my mom always used to tell me that i should not keep my laptop open all night , so what I used to do is that i used to make a ball from handkerchief and stuff it inside in a way that the laptop would look like its closed but it was on and then i used to put the laptop delicately inside my laptop bag and go to sleep keeping salad on for chopping lol. Though this account is my 3rd account created 2 years ago for salad as the other 2 accounts i had was one for school and other one was for games , so i contacted a mod and made sure both the accounts are closed ( as its against the tos ) so that i can make a new salad account only for salad.
As of now i earn about 50-70 cents a day which is good for me , though some random days i go job less as well but its part of the thing , I most of the time redeem amazon balances to buy something irl or master cards to buy stuff online like games or anything. Salad to me is almost like an app which gives 10-15$ pocket money every month for me to spend on things i like , though i dont buy things often as i like to save my balance for future aswell.
Its been 3 years now and its still on my pc with 2308 chopping hours as shown in the picture above . Sounds crazy as I came here just to get one block game and now whenever my friends say " damn how u got the money to buy that" , i always tell them about salad and recommend them to use it too and what I will tell to new chefs is first of all ITS NOT A VIRUS or anything harmful for yr pc , that is all MYTH , its just an app which uses yr pc parts / internet (like games use) to earn u some money$$$$ , also u guys can join salad discord server as well if got any doubts , the community managers are superb there and very helpful too.
This is my short story on how i started using salad , how am i doing currently and what ill tell to new chefs about salad. :)
