Well its a pretty old computer. P4 with 2GB of ram.
Its only job is the 8bit wallet....so i dunno.
This setup is perfectly fine to run the wallet. Even without swap (although I recommend having extra 2GB swap). Random crashes every few weeks or months are not something worth further investigation (I spot such ones rarely).
Agreed. I would just focus on completing the new wallet with the new coins per masternode requirements. Would be great to have that soon!
