Salad (getsalad.io) is an idle PC computing power sharing community built for gamers worldwide. Its core model aggregates idle GPU and CPU computing power from ordinary users' PCs to provide distributed computing support for third-party advanced computing projects, then distributes earnings based on the computing power users contribute. Users can redeem their earnings for various practical rewards.
The platform supports containerized isolated operation for computing tasks, so tasks won't affect users' local hardware. It also allows users to pause and resume computing power sharing at any time, so it doesn't interfere with normal PC usage. Users can redeem earnings for Steam games, Discord Nitro, gift cards for platforms including Amazon, and also withdraw their balance to PayPal.
On the plus side, Salad has an extremely low barrier to use: you only need to register an account, download the client, and you can start sharing computing power, with a very simple setup process. The containerized isolation mechanism also improves security, lowering the risk of malicious tasks affecting your local device. Rewards cover most digital goods and gift cards commonly used by overseas users, redemption processes are smooth, and the community is active.
The downsides are also very clear: earnings from a single device are generally quite low, and in most cases can't offset the electricity cost of running the process; there is a minimum threshold for redemption, so low-power users need to accumulate earnings for a long time before they can redeem a reward; there is currently no localization support for Chinese users.
This platform is suitable for overseas gamers with high-performance hardware who leave their PCs running 24/7, to earn a little extra pocket money sharing idle computing power. For ordinary domestic users in China, the cost-effectiveness is very low.
Currently, the website and client cannot be accessed directly from mainland China, and a proxy is required to use it normally.
