I wrote a program that repeatedly requests for JSON responses from a Monero Wallet RPC at some time intervals ranging from 10 seconds to a minute. Everything is running on a testnet in my local network.

Strangely, the RPC often stops responding after a while, causing a time out error. I cannot even reconnect to the wallet once the error occurs.

I observed that the problem only occurs when I run multiple instances of the program at the same time. So perhaps there is some kind of collision happening. Each instance of the program is connected to a different wallet on a different port, though. Any help would be appreciated.

The following is the traceback output:

  • Probably related to this. Try with the master branch.

  • And if the suggestion above does not help, please file a bug on github.com/monero-project/monero with this information.

  • Have you found any solution or filed a bug? I observed exactly the same behavior yesterday, when running multiple RPC wallets at once.
