I'm running an ALT coin daemon (reddcoin) on my Unix server. Using it maxes out the CPU. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm currently launching the daemon with "reddcoind".
I built the daemon with this guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=460178.msg5080166#msg5080166.
The coin I'm running can be seen here: https://github.com/reddcoin/reddcoin
I have tried various ways to launch the daemon including "reddcoind &", and "reddcoin -daemon". The original build guide (first link above), shows to run without any parameters.
The website that is querying the daemon does have a lot of registered users and wallet addresses. Does this need to be cleaned up? If so how? Thanks for your help. It will be very appreciated.
Are you still synchronizing or mining? Both could easily explain a high cpu load. – Murch – 2014-02-28T21:19:47.257
I don't believe it could be synching still as the server has been up a week. It's not a mining machine. It's the RPC server for a dice game on the same machine via LAMP. – Mayur Jobanputra – 2014-02-28T22:00:17.903
I also found some info here about limiting the cpu which seems to be working ok http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/13665/bitcoind-linux-cpu-usage-through-the-roof/22845#22845
but I still don't know why the CPU would spike with the daemon running
