#### Performance

Open Monero is not as fast as MyMonero. This is because it is basic, easy to understand
|
|
|
|
|
and straight forward implementation of the backend. Thus, it does not use any catching
|
|
|
|
|
of transactions, blocks, complex database structures and SQL queries. Also, no ongoing
|
|
|
|
|
monitoring of user's transactions is happening, since viewkey is not stored. Transaction
|
|
|
|
|
search threads start when user logs in (viewkey and address are submitted to the search thread),
|
|
|
|
|
and finish shorty after logout. Once the search thread stops,
|
|
|
|
|
they can't be restarted without user logging in back, as Open Monero does not store viewkeys.

Firefox and chrome will not work with that certificate as they cant verify it.
|
|
|
|
|
To overcome this for development purposes on localhost, just open new tab in the browser used
|
|
|
|
|
and go to any link from the service, e.g., `https://localhost:1984/login`. Once you do this,
|
|
|

you should get warring about unsecured or un verified certificate. Then you just add it manually

as exception.
