Memory usage

[Troels Arvin]

Hello,

I'm using the Bitcoin packages at https://www.ringingliberty.com/bitcoin/

Early Sunday morning, I moved from the "regular" Bitcoin to Bitcoin XT (0.11D). Since then, the bitcoind process has started to use quite a bit of memory:

Zooming in: I restarted the bitcoin server service Monday morning, and memory usage has been rising since then:

Is this expected? - Or does it hint at a memory leak?

My  installation has one non-default adjustment:
maxconnections=40

the maxmempooltx default is 25000 which is pretty high right now due to the very large spam transactions going around the network.  Try a setting of maxmempooltx=10000 or 15000

Are you mining?

Have you made any changes to minrelaytxfee? A setting of 0.0005 is reasonable for that.

Check bitcoin-cli getmempoolinfo to see how many transactions you have in your memory pool, and to see what the serialized size of those transactions is.

No, I'm not mining. Only trying to experience what it means to run a full node.

I'll try out Peters configuration suggestion and keep an eye on getmempoolinfo. Thanks.
