Describe the bug
I am running pirated on a headless ARM64 (aarch64) system which keeps hanging up on the blockchain download. I have tried numerous times with the same result.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download the latest aarch64 binaries from this repo to the ARM64 device.
  2. Bootstrap the blockchain as per these instructions
  3. Run pirated
  4. I believe it starts to download the blockchain.
  5. Open up htop and watch the RAM usage by pirated steadily increase until it gets to almost 100% use of the 4GB RAM.
  6. Then aarch64 device hangs (SSH becomes unresponsive) and I have to physically unplug and replug it back in.
  7. Start up the aarch64 device again, run thru Steps 3 thru 6 again and get the same exact result.

Expected behavior
I run pirated & it sucessfully downloads the pirate blockchain without making the system become unresponsive.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Debian 11

Additional context
Is there a different method to downloading the pirate blockchain after bootstrapping?
Is there a way to tell pirated to only use a specific amount of RAM so that it doesn't eat it all and hang the system?
