RAM usage is continuing to get worse as well. I have 7.67/8GB in use now and rising as it's syncing.
Hmmm... first post on the thread. Could you post a screenshot/snip of task manager (if using windows) or top (in linux) to demonstrate this?

Yes, from what i read here what people posted in past, that more RAM you have more it gets used. Least i saw someone said, run it on 3gb RAM.
It seems we have newbie accounts FUD attack again
No, daemon uses same RAM as it did back in May to me. And devs spend quite of some money to support what they do, not to mention they do it for free.

I'm sorry you feel my post if FUD. Hopefully not all questions in your minds perception is equal to FUD. Maybe you're having a bad day. But, if feel i'm trying to spread FUD, then I feel sorry for you. Unlike most people here, i'm not in the tech industry. I'm just having an issue with my one PC which has bitmonerod running on it (nothing else, windows 7 w/ 8gb ram).
Do you know how to access Task Manager? Control Alt Delete, then select from menu. List the items by increasing memory usage, and monitor the top entries on the list while starting the daemon.
As I posted earlier, on my Windows 8 system bitmonerod uses less than 4.5 GB RAM throughout sync and when fully synced (as now).

Let's write a recommendation "do not mine on moneropool.com" at the first 'intro' ('sticky') page of this thread!
As i know few times in past happened that moneropool.com, blocked new users to join it, only the ones that mined there in past was able to. this they do until their hash power fall under 35%. I am sure will do the same. When price falls, hash power decrease and is hard to them to modify. Is not good that pool owner would actually kick people off, if that is possible at all. This thread dont need recommendation you proposed, just pool owner should be alerted. As it is right now is perfect, first are posted pools which gives all fee to developers. More should go mine there.
It is down to 38% now. Not ideal, but not terrible either. Also, don't forget that the numbers can often be misleading because network hash and pool hash use different methods of measurement.

As others explained it will use RAM that is available but it doesn't need it. If other apps want the RAM or if the computer doesn't have as much RAM, less will be used. I can confirm that 2 GB hardware RAM on Linux works (a bit slowly) and 4 GB hardware RAM on Linux works great. Others have reported 4 GB on Windows working fine.
Not sure what is causing your crashing but it isn't lack of RAM.

I'm running it with 4GB RAM, works very well. Here's a guide that David posted on the Monero forum: https://forum.monero.cc/5/support/74/increase-swap-space-for-blockchain (applies to Linux, but I'd be surprised if you can't increase your swap space in Windows as well)
It's called Virtual Memory in Windows and appears under advanced system settings.

XMR Monero looked good, good concept, not bad forum threads, so I started mining with 3 AMD GPUs R9 280x and an FX8320E 8-Core CPU (GPUs: 1550 h/s with Linux claymore GPU Miner 9.1, CPU: 310 h/s with Wolfs CPU Miner). After the first 10 XMR autopay to an exchange account I can tell:
>the XMR earnings give me a horrible relation to the expensive european power costs, about 20 %, very unprofitable, you can also say: GPU/CPU Mining is a complete nonsense (I am still in it only for fun :-)
(>X11-Multi Coins Mining is much better and complete without dev-fees, but also not profitable (here around 30% of my costs are covered by revenues))
(>BTC today down to 337 $ (also with newest asics no more hope for ROI with SHA-256 and scypt))
>bad luck, XMR/BTC fell 20 %
>and late I discovered that a single XMR-Pool represents over 60 % of the total XMR Hashrate (we learned that everything near and more than 51% is big evil)
It seems to me, that the only people with a positive cash flow in this game are the several devs.

My computer only has 8GB of ram - it crashing every time i run bitmonerd? what can I do without buying more memory?
people run it with 3 gb. so i am sure you can solve it. You never run it in past? or is recent issue?
i am no pro, but i am sure people will help you. maybe try on IRC for faster answers.
Im at work, cant access IRC from here. It just started to happen 2 days ago. How are people running it on 3GB? Earlier this morning I checked a friends computer and it was showing Bitmonerod using 10GB out of 16GB usage?

Moneritos makes me hungry. Sounds like biscuits to me 
It is perfect for a millionth of a monero, thanks to the crypto kingdom game for expanding this term.
It actually should be moneretos in Esperanto. I believe this is a small enough change to be implementatable.It is perfect for a millionth of a monero, thanks to the crypto kingdom game for expanding this term.
moneretoj
anyway, people who play Crypto Kingdom can choose whatever they would like to call their units.
I don't really care, i'm not a grammer nazi. I just find the Esperanto references a lot of fun
edit: maybe monereto is a nice expression for the smallest unit: 0.000000000001 XMR (also known as tacoshi
)

I think the issue is that the network hashrate is calculated from the diff, which is I think is based on blocks in the last 24 hours, I believe it's just (diff/(60*1024^2)), while I think the pools calculate their hashrate based on average diff of blocks in the last 10 or 30 minutes, so they are basing the two numbers on a different starting point. With that being said, it does seem strange how it always seems like the sum of the pools is greater than the reported network hashrate, but maybe that just has to do with the fact that I usually check it in the morning time of the USA.
If you look at the pie chart here: http://minexmr.com/pools.html
It says the network rate is 18.6 Mh/s while the sum of the known pools hashrate is 22 Mh/s, and that's not including solo miners as well as private/unknown pools
In any event, if you want to support the network, you probably shouldn't mine at moneropool.com, I think this much is obvious...

It's free choice but practicality will win once again. people just don't care about esperanto or correct grammar that much and monero will be 'moneros' in plural for most people cause they simply don't care or don't know about the correct esperanto grammar, even though monero is an esperanto word meaning 'coin'.
Moneros def what will be used.
