my system freezes after running run.sh or gen.sh on void linux, i have 8 GB of ram,

can I limit the amount of generated addresses or the allowed ram usage?

You can edit run.sh and decrease the sleep number from 100 to whatever lower number, so that it refreshes program faster and doesn't leak memory

I just looked into it again and realized something very stupid I did lol. In my code I was reading the riches.txt file continously, every time a new wallet was generated.. I edited the code so that it reads riches.txt only once and stores all data in one variable. I haven't tested if it fixes the memory leak issue completely but I imagine it helped a bit.

Let me know if the new code changes anything for you. If it's fixed then the whole run.sh code and all extra stuff won't be necessary for this project anymore.
