Being someone who has no technical knowledge could you confirm which link I need to click on once I have selected the windows download link. I am currently running V0.9.6.1 on windows 64bit.

Thanks.

Wellenreiter

select the windows installer one and then select feathercoin-0.9.6.2-win32-setup.exe
The 32 bit installer should work on 64 windows, too.

We are working to get the windows 64 bit installer exe ready

Danlau

That’s great, thank you for your help.

Last question, should I change it to the 64 bit when available or can I leave it as 32?

Thanks

Wellenreiter

That is your choice.

I see no harm in running a 32 bit binary on a 64 bit windows system, and I doubt, that the 64bit version will be faster than the 32 bit version after the initial synchronization.

Danlau

Thank you, I shall leave it as it is.

Best Regards.

@Danlau One of the highest prioritie of the team has to test builds and create instructions for as many OSs as we can. What’s the point of having an advanced system if no one can run it (easily)?

We’d still like to do more, but obviously, the OSs with no build have a priority. We would also like options for other packaged systems, such as snaps, flatpacks and docker. Experimentation and investigation in those areas would mean these can be done easily, they just need more volunteers to manage the “Tasks” of updating the appropriate deployment channels.

Again, we have done most of that, registering for Launchpad etc, we just need secure system so that and members can assist to make those happen while still remaining private and in “control of the community.”

Currently, Admin trust members who have built up a reputation and have contributed real code, bounties, bug fixes or working FTC projects. This is reflected in trust to run servers, forum, github, or represent FTC.
