only people that can mine it is linux users, no client for windows

It's not like Linux user received a 'Linux Binary' with the distribution of the code.
We had to actually compile the code to get a working binary.

You could follow the directions in the doc directory and -- make a 'windoze' binary just the same way.
Linux people didn't have the binary 'handed' to them.... sheesh.


Have you tried this? The code doesn't actually build out of the box, but the instructions don't tell you what to do, and you have to piss about.

Compiling programs on Windows is, like, the equivalent in annoyingness and fiddliness of getting your audio driver and wifi and 3d acceleration working on Linux Wink

(and the opposite is true... building stuff from source on Linux is super-easy, in fact probably easier than installing your audio drivers on Windows because at least you don't have to reboot)
