Operate ZenCash node software on a capable system-this means linux only?
We have tutorial for Linux, Windows is not known as most secure system anyway.
You can try this on VM?
Because windows is far from being a secure system I entered into the crypto world
But, I would still try to run a node on windows, on my own server (not a hosted VM with 1 proc and 1GB RAM).
As long as you don't keep ~43 ZEN on it can't see any major issue.
