I just loaded up Bitcoin Qt for the first time in weeks to see if I got a dividend and it is killing my macbook. I have some direct shares, any way for me to verify those without having to download the whole blockchain?
I had problems with Bitcoin Qt before but now it's even worse. Everything else on my computer works fine but when I use Bitcoin Qt my macbook gets way too hot (much hotter than when I do anything else) and doing anything is obnoxiously slow.
