Why did the developers make that when using zelcore to install zelnode, you need to pay $4 per month?
A very strange decision.
The latest release is not compiled for Windows at all.
It feels like the project is abandoned.
And I see the developer is not active in this thread.
And yet, the site has fonts floating, it is impossible to read the information, I checked it on 3 browsers.
There is no fee you need to pay in ZelCore in order to install and run zelnodes. You must be doing something wrong.
Also, the latest version is working without problems on Windows.
I recommend you join the project's discord channel:
