Another crazy paulite here… Cheesy

I am using this thread to introduce myself, since I have started using bitcoin because of this article link in RonPaulForums.org . I knew bitcoin from before and I though it was a interesting project it seemed too young at the moment. But after speaking with dwdollar over there, I decided to give it a try.

Bitcoin is running now in the linux server of my home (and it should be generating coins, I just dont know how long does it take to generate one). Its running on a atom 330 with 1gig RAM and not the processor nor the memory is going out of hand, but I have a problem. I connect to my server using a VNC connection. When I run bitcoin it becomes very sluggish, almost unusable. When I stop bitcoin everything goes ok again. Its running Ubuntu desktop 10.04 amd64 using ia32libs and the binary in bitcoin 0.20 tarball.

You’ll want to renice +20 bitcoin then. I wouldn’t dream of sharing a bitcoin in generation mode on a box that was playing videos. Choppy videos annoy the hell outta me.

0.3.1 fixes that, sets the generate threads to the lowest priority. Download links are on the homepage now.
