Since my Pi fails to ever mint any nushares, I started to mint them on my regular PC. After 12 hours of minting nu has reached a state where it consumes ~700 MiB of RAM while bitcoin-qt only consumes 415 MiB and it is being stress tested at this moment. So clearly something is badly wrong with nu. Both of those processes are running at very low priority, if that makes any difference. I remember that when I was not minting then Nu didn’t consume that much memory. The memory usage goes up after a day of minting. No wonder the Pi can’t handle it if it only has 1 GiB of RAM.
Perhaps I am old-fashioned but in my opinion such a program should not consume more than 100 MiB of RAM, ever. I wouldn’t be complaining but since it’s my PC I hate it when it gets slow and I cannot browse the Internet normally. So, naturally I will try to debug and see what process is making my system so slow and I suspect that in this case it is the fault of nubits. I hear my HDD grinding quite often and during that time everything just hangs and I am 100% sure that block chains are causing this halting and grinding sounds.
So, the question is — is anyone else having similar problems? Is it probable that in the future the code gets optimized? Or perhaps the developers have become lazy and I am expected to just buy a faster machine?
