RE: Why people do not keep their wallets open all the time

in #gridcoin • 7 years ago (edited)

Although I leave the wallet open 24/7, I do see 3 other disadvantages:

  1. The wallet consumes CPU cycles and memory which means less resources for science projects (especially if you have a moderate system)
  2. Unfortunatelly we need to regularly confirm whether the wallet is on a fork, if so the wallet needs to be restarted (extra work)
  3. Due to frequent updates, the wallet needs to be restarted and thus can't remain running in the background for a long period of time without supervision (again extra work)
