When i opened my wallet yesterday I was getting new Mint from minting every 20-30 min up until around 10am this morning then it stopped. Is this normal? My wallet is still super slow and making my pc unusable for anything else. This started around 8 am today. If Im done minting I guess I can close the wallet and actually use my pc again. I cant believe Im the only person with this issue.
You might close your wallet for a while and reopen it later. You don't have to leave the wallet running to keep your coindays.
I am running a client always with just a few coins in it to verify transactions and act as a peer in the network, but I keep my main wallet offline.
Tried that. When I closed the wallet for a few hours, I dont get any minting. It seems it the transactions would be waiting for the wallet to open. Is this not the case? If i was getting Mint every 20-30 min with wallet, but none while wallet is closed, it seems the wallet would always have to be open to get credit. But then the computer is unusble for anything else. Its an i7 with 16gb of ram. What the hell could the wallet be doing to hog that much of my resources?
Just out of curiosity, where did you download the wallet from? From the link in the OP? Was just thinking that if it wasn't from that link, it could be malware??? (I realize this is probably not the case, but had to ask.)
Yep, from the original OP. I downloaded again this morning and tried it on a different pc. I'm simply wondering if the wallet is supposed to be so resource intensive during minting. Every time I click on any feature of the wallet, I get "Not Responding" for 2-3 minutes, then the action will process. The another click, same thing. Nothing else will function very well either. For example, if I click a new tab in chrome, nothing happens for 2-3 minutes. Just so everyone is clear to my question. IS THE WALLET EXTREMELY RESOURCE INTENSIVE DURING THE MINTING PROCESS? Also, when my wallet stopped minting today I was curious as to whether that was normal, or is there some other problem. I don't need help with the math, I'm not done minting yet, but I didn't know exactly how the process worked until tokyopotato explained it.
I'm using an i7 with 16gb ram. I also tried on an i5, 8gb ram laptop with the same results. Both running win7 64bit. To put it in perspective, I can use Windows faster on my AMD quad running 3 R9 290's. It just doesn't seem like the minting process should be that intensive. Even a few hours after I stopped receiving coins, nothing changed. This is my first time with a POS coin. I just want to know if this is normal, or whether I have a problem with my wallet. A simple "yes this is normal" or "no, you have a problem" will suffice. I can figure in out from there.
