XDN — aka duckNote » DarkNote » DigitalNote — moved its chain out of RAM ; their approach works flawless .
The code is open source , MIT style , the principles and workings could be potentially useful to adjourn ours .
I think we should study a way to lower the memory footprint , close all memory leaks as soon as possible ,
it is essential we adapt our technology to fit the needs of the more wholesome vision MINT wants to meet .

hello
so are the bugs resolved ?
personally i downloaded the wallet last week
i did 165 mint from the faucet before it s dead, , wallet is running normal, excepted that it using to much memory (780mb overs wallets does 100-300)
but i can't withdraw from cryptsy, they waiting for an update

This is a n issue that need to be resolved sooner or later. Memory & CPU usage has to be contained. Its like the debt problem how much of it you will allow before everything becomes inefficient & breaks. We better solve it now rather than kicking the can down the road. We have gone from 100 MB to 700 MB in a year and half. Bitcoin is centralizing due to this. They have put out something in latest release that allows people to store only last 500 MB (or more but 500 MB is minimum) of blocks only because its impossible to change the blockchain from that far behind. We have to look at such a solution or some other way of reducing both HDD & RAM usage. Otherwise it becomes a decision of how much resources (RAM, CPU, Internet Bandwidth, Power etc) are you willing to invest to get few dollars every week. We need to root out the inefficiency.
I agree, that we should look into reducing the RAM usage especially. CPU has seemed to me to stay fairly consistent, but RAM slowly rises. Have we been able to pinpoint exactly what is causing Mintcoin RAM & CPU to run so hot? Is it possibly because there are so many micro-fractional amounts stuck in limbo? When I look at a mintcoin balance, it looks like it goes out 8 decimals (.00000000) but it looks like the mintcoin network minimum transaction only goes out to 4 decimals (.0000)? Am I correct about this? I don't really get the reason for this, but then the wallet still seems to track the balance out to 8 decimals, so is there always a microfractional amount lingering around in addresses? I am not really sure if this is correct, anyone else have anything to say about this? Also, Is it possible to change the decimal place structure of the mintcoin? would there be any benefits of that or downsides?
Here is what Presstab said about RAM usage.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11767413
I hope there is a solution because a system with 8/16GB RAM is fairly normal these days & to give 1GB to just one coin is too much. Also for HDD usage i think we should look at what Bitcoin 0.11.0.0 has introduced(https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.11.0#block-file-pruning). I am not sure if this is useful or possible with Mintcoin, but with my layman understanding i assume this will help with HDD usage but with some restrictions.

@fuzzy
v2002 all sync'd on WIN machine
(so was working this is not connections/.conf related)
imported a wallet >> crash
splash/load screen @ "Done Loading"
alert msg popup = "cannot intialize keypool" [okay]
click that and she crashes

I think it is important to get all of these things hammered out and dealt with before Mintcoin gets so big, and so many users.
I think we should try to maintain Mintcoin at least under 1GB of RAM usage, maybe even less than 500MB if possible. I don't know what is possible though. I don't really know what is causing it.
What are all the available options to reducing the RAM?

Additionally, the main issue is that the wallet is currently at -828.5, when before you fixed the syncing problem on the 19th it had well over 1 million.
wallet unsync -> balance=0
site balance= (wallet balance) - (reserved for referral) .
all will be a normal after wallet sync.

I'd like to help resolve any problems users may have with their wallets as fast as possible. To that end, posts in this thread will still be answered but I'd like to offer an alternative solution as well:
I spend a great deal of time on IRC. And, despite some issue with the #mintcoin channel needing a topic update and some new ops, I am available in there to answer questions or just shoot the breeze with anyone. I'm usually connected 24/7, but obviously not at the computer every minute of the day
I'd really like to see more community involvement in the chat room in general too (outside of just being a place to bring problems). I've got some ideas I'm toying around with, but nothing that is ready to be announced yet.
Anyways, If you are unfamiliar with IRC or otherwise don't already have an IRC client to use, goto https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/MintCoin for a direct web-based chat portal.

In the early days I spend alot of time on #mintcoin but activity dropped their a lot I wanted to do some give-aways there but there was too little activity.
I know cryptomommy made an announcement on a podcast a while ago about launching a new IRC channel #mintcoinofficial but I stayed there a couple of weeks and there was no activity (except for cryptomommy) So it would be great to see some more activity on one of those channels.
I will make sure I will be there more often and if it gets more crowded then maybe I can do some give aways in the future.
I think we should move to slack if we are starting anew. We can create multiple channels & share files on the platform. A lot of coins have recently moved to slack. Please look into it. There are lots of great features on that platform.
It has a mobile & a desktop app so you can access it anywhere.
Just check it out before making a decision. https://slack.com

@URSAY, did you get the wallet up and running? I have had the crash issue with a few other wallets and was always caused by unrecognized characters in the .conf file caused by using a windows/mac editor. Try creating the .conf from the cli
My wallet is working now and no .conf file is required. Thanks to FuzzBawls for working with me to resolve this.
Happy to help

If the multifaucet owner is running all those daemons on the same machine, it's no wonder things are going wrong.
Now, for some good news: the connection issues should now be resolved. I've set up an updated seeder and am monitoring it. Good connections all around so far.

need a wait.
this wallet daemon stick every ~ 500-1000 blocks =(
What happen to the 1 million plus coins in there? you didn't sync for 3 days, and I know 1 million didn't just disappear.

this wallet daemon stick every ~ 500-1000 blocks =(
The faucet owner confirmed mem and cpu overloaded could be the cause of it not working... I've made the suggestion of keeping possibly coins only used more then 20 times a day.
It does indeed gulp down a lot of cpu/ram while running the syncing process. But my experience lies with the wallet not daemon.
same, but I'm waiting to see his response to my suggestion.
