Subject: Re: Reduce CPU load. Is it possible?
Hi.
I have a laptop working 24 hours a day. It is a Bitcoin node and also has a
small ASIC-USB working as a miner.
Now, he also has John the Ripper running trying to decrypt some Bitcoin
hashes.
Of course I am interested in maximum power, but I do not want to reduce the
life of the processor, it is working without too many expectations of
obtaining any result with John the Ripper.
That is why I wanted to offload the CPU work a bit. (80% would be fine).
What is your opinion?
A greeting.
MA40.
