Skype uses so much memory because it needs to store a literal representation of the person you are talking to in memory. The fatter they are the more memory it needs.

What version of Skype? 1.2gb likely indicates memory leak.

I'm going with the bitcoin mining as skype does do that in later versions.

Basically skype went to poo poo when microsoft took over. It has invasive ads, all kinds of issues, and frankly pisses me off.

I was trying to have a nice conversation with my parents when suddenly an advertisement began to play on their end. They're old so they get confused and dont know what to do.

You can still use the old versions if you want. I still use 4.x on my netbook because webcam is broken in 5.x+ for some reason on it.

Or you can edit config.xml to hide the ads and then either add 2-3 addresses skype uses to hosts or block them through internet options. Then you get no ads, no places for ads, and if you choose compact view, a messenger that looks okay despite still sucking for instant messages. The UI is still shittier than the old versions but whatever. Skype is a garbage program and always has been.

When Bernie Sanders is president, he should decree a law that all chat services have to allow 3rd party clients to connect to their network, otherwise their assets will be nationalized.

That would fix up the trouble with Skype on the quick.
