Title: Help running a core node on macbook pro Post by: spooderman on May 19, 2017, 09:15:45 AM Hi any help here would be appreciated.
I have a 2012 model macbook pro on which I (try) to run a full node signalling BIP148. I store the data on an external hard drive. I have the dbcache set to 1024MB, and the number of threads set to 7. After about 4 minutes, the GUI starts to freeze for about 95% of the time. The synchronization with the network becomes unbearably slow, and I basically have to restart the node. I consistently have 8 connections to the network. Any help would be appreciated, later today I plan to set up a node on a RPi 3. Thanks edit: in the activity monitor, I can see that is stops using any CPU when it freezes.

I suggest lowering the dbcache since I think you are running out of RAM.

Turned out that it was the use of my external drive that was causing the issue. It behaves correctly when I use the internal drive of my laptop. Now I'm working out how to use linux+RPi to get a node set up on there. The headache has already begun :D |
