Just joined, been lurking for a little while reading guides etc.
Figured I had to make my first post somewhere, might aswell be here. Love the concepts of this coin, a decentralised VPN service is something that's starting to be needed in more and more countries (mine included)
Is there any way to limit the upload bandwidth used by the wallet though? I only have about 0.7Mb/s up and if I keep the wallet open it eats it all up, makes general internet use sluggish.
You made the right choice, stay with us and help the community grows.
I don't think it is possible at wallet level, but why upload bandwidth matter? You download the blockchain db, not upload it.
A wallet isn't a one way street, you're acting as a peer connecting with others to share data... Thus you're uploading shit to others.
I'm out in the country so I'm stuck with a DSL connection that tops out at download speeds of 1.4mb/s (used to be like 400kb/s until about two years ago), and my connection turns worthless once I have the wallet open. Basically get a "you are not connected to the internet" message in Chrome for every other page I try to load. So needless to say no crypto wallet is ever open on my computer unless I actually need to do a transaction at that moment.
I can download Steam games at max d/l speeds or watch Netflix at max quality without any impact to my browsing, but crypto wallets turn things to a grinding halt due to the uploading aspect of them.
in few months thoose who didn´t will "cry like babys"
