Hi All

I have a question about the Horizen coin. Hope you can help.

Can we stake the Horizen coins via a windows wallet?

Can I run a node from windows only (therefore not using vps, etc)?

Thank you for you time and any help you can give.

O
ZEN is pow coin , so there is no in wallet staking.

You can setup Secure or Super node.

They have different requirements regarding of number of "staked coins", but very similar setup procedure.
Staked coins won't get you any return if not "pointing" on an Secure or Super node.

Please check trackers, there you can get some clues how this system function:

I'm not advising Window to be used as platform for node. It is possible,  but requires an solid knowledge of administration.
Alternatively you could use Virtual Machine..
But at the end of the day, it is more simpler to rent an VPS, for a secure node you can find starting from 3 dollars.
