[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[Karartma1]

Monero 0.9 beta still consumes a lot of memory when I synchronize blockchain that wasn't updated for 15 days.

In Windows 7:

+ Working memory:  2114890Kb (~2GB)
+ Elapsed time: 2.5 hours (very slow I think)

Same here win 8.1! I'm syncing since the very first block and waiting so much is fatiguing me. Also, I don't have a flat connection so I have to stop every now and then. I hope I'll get this rolling soon.

Is that the first 0.9 Beta or the second?

There's a second beta? I'm upgrading then. The first was already a great improvement (I couldnt run before with 4GB of RAM).

Yeah, the link in my sig goes to the beta for windows. Fluffy put the new beta on the same URL for everyone's ease.

Synchronizing the blockchain will take a lot of memory - IF YOU HAVE IT. Thats the key. If you have a 2 gig machine, it will only take what is available. If you have a 4 gig machine, it will take more, and if you have 16 gig, it will take more. Once its done synchronizing though, it will reduce to negligible memory usage.

Be cautious, direct link in that thread! Also, always thread beta with the appropriate amount of caution.

Prepare scantable took: 216320ms

What does it mean? It is very slow to me

The good news is that once your blockchain is in sync then memory usage will decrease dramatically

LMDB only takes what it can take (during syncing). If much of your RAM is already allocated, LMDB won't take it while syncing. In other words, it won't get stuck like for instance the old binaries. After syncing it only takes <100 MB.

If anyone wants to run Monero over TOR, see:

&

Looks like warptangent fixed the DNS issue (PR #541) so there should be no issue of leakage or some functions not working now.

I have working on create Monero tutorials for my website (8xmr.com) based on information have found on getmonero.org, Reddit and elsewhere.

Should monero.win.x64.v0-9-beta be started with old .bat file or is there any new way to start bitmonerod and simplewallet?

it should be the same... the bat file should just be calling bitmonerod.exe with whatever flags you need. if in doubt, just open the .bat file in notepad to get a sense of whats going on.

Another update from ShenNoether (NobleSir) regarding Confidential Transactions (CT) for Monero:

edit 12/15/2015: I'm starting to play around with some c/c++ stuff that will help me implement this thing for real - I'll probably take a couple weeks off for xmas holidays though starting next week, so expect no updates dec 17-jan 4

All updates & links are in this thread:

I have working on create Monero tutorials for my website (8xmr.com) based on information have found on getmonero.org, Reddit and elsewhere.

I decided to start working on an openalias tutorial and felt embarrass that I never took time to create alias myself.

So easy! Took me 5 minutes to create my monero alias. Now I have some more marketing ideas for openalias and monero

I am looking forward to hearing more about how you plan to market Monero and OpenAlias!

Hi there.

I've built and been running the following on a ubuntu 15.10 VM (12 Mb RAM)  - Win7 Native - with encypted drive, Intel i7-4790k @ 4Ghz - 32GB Ram :

ahh - no svn info equivalent with git - ok - last commit info

Code:

commit 3a4db6346b2b1b4c3e3733d833f338d104f7da95
Merge: 0eb3b66 7f77b23

Date:   Sun Dec 13 22:17:07 2015 +0200

    Merge pull request #533
    
    7f77b23 posix_daemonizer: only create the main daemon object in the last child (moneromooo-monero)

Some feedback - the RAM usage is much better, but the syncing process is hammering my harddrive, to the point where not only the VM becomes unresponsive (10-20 second pauses but VM is still stable), but also any disk access on my native machine significantly slows down applications running there.

Changing limit_up and limit_down values has little effect.

I'm going to have a little peek at the database code tonight to get familiar to see how its working.

Just wanted to give a heads up as I suspect when the next database version is released you may find the complaints switching from RAM usage to HDD usage.

Cheers

Dave
