Topic: Bitcoin memory usage (Read 7773 times)
The new version seems to consume much less memory... 320mb... (previously at my pc 520mb)
ok, 780MB after restarting, still too much imo
what are they storing, tx cache? DB cache? doesn't make sense

My bitcoind is also consuming more and more memory over the time... 590 mb usually.. and then growing growing up to more than 1 gb after some days..
Lucky you!

Even after restarting?
Do you know if the new version 0.8.6 has the same problems?
Within the last days, the memory consumption is increasing on my system.. I have to restart the bitcoin daemon every day now :S

How is it running at the moment for you?

Anybody knows how to prevent this?
I set maxconnections to 20, but it didnt change anything..
connections do not increase memory usage that much. the biggest factor in usage increase is the growing memory pool for transactions. there is no way to clear the memory pool, or set a limit for it. the only remedy is increasing ram capacity, increasing swap, or restarting the daemon regularly.

Just want to add that previously I wrote that my bitcoind version 0.8.3 crashed and I suspected it was because of OOM error. But now I think that isn't the case. I think it ran out of disk space. I've freed up space and restarted bitcoind. Only time will tell how long it stays up.
0.8.1 apparently... I'll keep it until a major flaw is discovered... or pruning is implemented!!!
0.8.1 and 0.8.2 is vulnerable to a memory exhaustion attack. It's highly advised to update.Yes.

I see 300-400MB usage.
Just to put it into perspective, chrome uses 3000MB at the moment (lots of open tabs).

bitcoind runs without memory leak, but memory usage is high (1.2 GB on my setup, uptime 100 days now).
100 days so you are using an older version?

Well my bitcoind installation crashed after a week of uptime. Maybe it was killed because it ran out of memory. I thought this problem was fixed in the 0.8.3 version.
so this could be a potential reason why U get the bluescreen and physical memory dump from timeto time?
Maybe I should switch to electrum...

Thats nothing, try using armory lol
I just found this thread cause im seeing bitcoind "version" : 80300, take up 391 megs on the server, its just idle, we compiled it from git and ran it, after it caught up on the blocks its just taking up so much memory, anyone know why or have a solution? ..

This is what I am seeing on my VPS:
bit@hghg:~$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 768 488 279 0 0 115
-/+ buffers/cache: 373 394
Swap: 256 34 221
So yeah 300-400MB of RAM.
bitcoind 0.8.1 had a memory leak in it. But 0.8.3 can run comfortably on a 512MB RAM VPS
