Reduce farming resources

Chia Farming & Harvesting
1

I’d like to farm some forks additionally to chia on a machine with limited resources.

However, I notice that for each fork, it has many duplicates (20+) of the same processes of type:

  • forknameA_full_node
  • forknameA_full_node
  • forknameA_full_node
  • forknameA_full_node
  • …
  • forknameA_wallet
  • forknameA_wallet
  • forknameA_wallet
  • …

Given this machine serves as full node and doesnt do anything else, what is the best mode to use here ? or are there any tricks to reduce memory consumption ?

PS: services are started as forknameA start farmer

This is because your Forks are syncing. Either initial one new one at a time (or a couple), let them sync, then add another fork, or, download their dB files to speed this up. Your wallet will also use more processes when syncing.

Once everything is syncd, the process count will drop substantially.

Actually I did download the blockchains so that one is synced. Only the wallet is syncing though…

I am wondering if changing the start mode would have any effect but then I am not sure which is more appropriate ? I couldnt find proper doc for these :<

In a way, the question is: what is the minimal mode one can run as ?
