It's either bitcoin -daemon or just bitcoind, but not bitcoind -daemon.

Yes, but it's the same: it crashes with only bitcoind too. I have buy a dedicated server with 2Gb memory and still running since a few hours.

I think the problem was really the quantity of RAM.

I have created a script for running bitcoind as a system service.
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16823.msg260914#msg260914

Now I have my wallet.dat file stored on a secure root account in a Linux server.
I'm normally working on an unprivileged account, and bitcoind starts with Linux and works unattended.
It beats storing bitcoins on an unsecure Windows box for sure!

Democracy is vulnerable to a 51% attack.

Fixes in approximate order of preference:
1) Remove or adjust any resources limits (RSS/VM) on the bitcoind process.
2) Add more physical RAM.
3) Add more swap space.
4) Turn on memory overcommit.

On my 64-bit Linux box, bitcoind needs about 1GB of virtual memory and about 256MB of physical memory.

I don't know why it's crashing, but I do know that you don't need the -daemon switch if you're running bitcoind.
It's either bitcoin -daemon or just bitcoind, but not bitcoind -daemon.

If you want to run bitcoind as a daemon, you have to give it the -daemon flag.

$ ./bitcoind -daemon
bitcoin server starting
$

$ ./bitcoind
[wait forever, bitcoind is running]

When I launch ./bitcoind -daemon on my server, it runs a few minutes (~5/10 minutes) and crashes.

You need more RAM.

Are you sure? How many RAM I need you think?

tbh I'm not sure, it depends on how big your pools going to be. go for at least 1gb.

Hello,

Sorry for post in this forum but I haven't access to the "Technical Support" forum.

When I launch ./bitcoind -daemon on my server, it runs a few minutes (~5/10 minutes) and crashes.
