hello

so are the bugs resolved ?
personally i downloaded the wallet last week
i did 165 mint from the faucet before it s dead, , wallet is running normal, excepted that it using to much memory (780mb overs wallets does 100-300)

but i can't withdraw from cryptsy, they waiting for an update Huh

This is a n issue that need to be resolved sooner or later. Memory & CPU usage has to be contained. Its like the debt problem how much of it you will allow before everything becomes inefficient & breaks. We better solve it now rather than kicking the can down the road. We have gone from 100 MB to 700 MB in a year and half. Bitcoin is centralizing due to this. They have put out something in latest release that allows people to store only last 500 MB (or more but 500 MB is minimum) of blocks only because its impossible to change the blockchain from that far behind. We have to look at such a solution or some other way of reducing both HDD & RAM usage. Otherwise it becomes a decision of how much resources (RAM, CPU, Internet Bandwidth, Power etc) are you willing to invest to get few dollars every week. We need to root out the inefficiency.

I agree, that we should look into reducing the RAM usage especially. CPU has seemed to me to stay fairly consistent, but RAM slowly rises. Have we been able to pinpoint exactly what is causing Mintcoin RAM & CPU to run so hot? Is it possibly because there are so many micro-fractional amounts stuck in limbo? When I look at a mintcoin balance, it looks like it goes out 8 decimals (.00000000) but it looks like the mintcoin network minimum transaction only goes out to 4 decimals (.0000)? Am I correct about this? I don't really get the reason for this, but then the wallet still seems to track the balance out to 8 decimals, so is there always a microfractional amount lingering around in addresses? I am not really sure if this is correct, anyone else have anything to say about this? Also, Is it possible to change the decimal place structure of the mintcoin? would there be any benefits of that or downsides?

Here is what Presstab said about RAM usage.

I hope there is a solution because a system with 8/16GB RAM is fairly normal these days & to give 1GB to just one coin is too much. Also for HDD usage i think we should look at what Bitcoin 0.11.0.0 has introduced(https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.11.0#block-file-pruning). I am not sure if this is useful or possible with Mintcoin, but with my layman understanding i assume this will help with HDD usage but with some restrictions.
