I installed five cryptocurrency wallets simultaneoulsy, and now I can compare memory usage.
- CPU Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz (2 cores)
- RAM: 4 Gb RAM
- OS: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
- uname -a: Linux 4.15.0-45-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 29 16:28:13 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Date: 25th of February 2019
All settings is by default. Wallets are downloaded from official repositories of ubuntu reporitories (if exists). And synced from zero (yes, bitcoin too, several weeks). I run only wallet daemons.
Memory consumption
- bitcoind 21.1 % (864 Mb)
- litecoind 16.2 % (663 Mb)
- gridcoinresearchd 34.4 % (1409 Mb)
- stronghandsd 10.8 % (442 Mb)
- dogecoind eats all my memory, I stopped it at 75 % (3072 Mb). Bad boy!
If you know how to reduce dogecoind memory consuption - let me know.
Disk usage (with blockchain)
- bitcoind 222 Gb
- litecoind 23 Gb
- gridcoinresearchd 2.9 Gb
- stronghandsd 1.4 Gb
- dogecoind (not synced yet) 16 Gb
Wallets
All wallets also have web interfaces and RPC. Each wallet is separated from others, and require separate registration. Also I don't recommend you store you coins here, only required minimum for RPC.
- Bitcoin (because most popular currency) https://wallet.arikado.ru/btc/
- Litecoin (because low fees) https://wallet.arikado.ru/ltc/
- Gridcoin (because research) https://wallet.arikado.ru/grc/
- Stronghands (because people like big numbers) https://wallet.arikado.ru/shnd/
