Looks like a dead ecosystem. The main website looks like bizarre propaganda for CSW, with little to no information about the technology. There is an electron fork that doesn't look maintained. Only have binaries available for Windows and Mac. No AppImage or deb file for Linux, have to build from source. Tried to build from source but it only supports up to Python 3.9.X. Tried to build with 3.10 but lots of errors. Doesn't look widely supported on exchanges and for the pittance I would be collecting here, my time is worth more than this.

Result = Abandoned.

It's somewhat worse than i expected. Although for electrum fork, you probably can run it directly from source code ./electrum-sv if you bother install all dependency manually.

I can make a windows machine with the electrum BSV client if you want and install something you can remote in with. Yes you have to trust me a bit, but if you have more then a few $ of it you might as well grab it.
Not a big deal I keep a couple of laptops around just for testing so it's a clean wipe after every use anyway.

PM or reply here.

Thanks mate, it's OK, I do have an old Windows machine I dusted off and can do it with. Taking hours to download a few years of security updates lol

Download ISO from Microsoft website and install it on VM usually is faster than waiting for windows update especially since it require several restart.
