Hi All,

Please correct me if I'm wrong but geth is the CPU mining app / part of the wallet.  After the wallet synced, im showing HIGH (as in 100% usage) CPU usage.  The process that appears to be running away is Geth.

How can I disable / ensure I'm not CPU mining when running the wallet?

I have tried --minerthreads=0 and so far that appears to be when it comes to CPU usage but Geth is still using a lot of disk IO.

Thanks!

Geth is the full node command line rpc client that runs underneth the Mist wallet. Geth won't use your CPU to mine unless you start it with the --mine command line parameter. Geth synchronizes with the ETH network and uses a lot of disk I/O, which can cause the client and system to become unresponsive. I prefer using the Parity wallet. It syncs MUCH faster than Geth and uses a lot less system resources. You can also use the Parity client with multiple chains like ETC and MUSIC.
