Title: Quarkcoin Wallet 100% CPU issue
Post by: clogic555 on August 20, 2013, 03:15:49 PM
Been trying to set up solo mining for quarkcoin-qt and everytime I run the wallet it just uses 100% CPU on all my cores.

I can set the CPU affinity for the wallet with task manager but is it meant to be doing that? The block chain is up to date and is not catching up.

+1 on this. I have exactly the same issue.

Aside from missing transactions I'm also having this problem.

Installing alt coin wallets on your computer is not the safest thing to do...

What would you recommend instead of this? I dont think there are online wallets for most altcoins.

Do not install. But if you really need it, install in virtual machine only.

Ok. Well I trust litecoin enough to keep a local copy. Will a USB stick work? If so how can I install it onto there?

How are you backing them up locally? (if you are)

OP talked about Quarkcoin, I never heard about this or countless other altcoins. Also the developers are often unknown and anything can be in executables.

You may use
https://www.virtualbox.org/
USB works there as well

Ok. Thanks. I have heard of QuarkCoin and it seems O.K. to me. What if I use Ubuntu. People say that Linux cant be "hacked". Should I be worried (I use Ubuntu).
