I really despise coins that launch with only a cli client. It is so 90s. Also, not having an official Windows version is not forgivable. Correct me if I am wrong, didn't Satoshi launch BTC with both a GUI and Windows compatible?
   I have found the miner that is compatible with Windows and have mined it a little, starting yesterday. However, the cooling on my desktop is shitty, especially for the CPU. I don't like to see my CPU temps running in the 70s with spikes in the 90s. So I have only been running it for about an hour here and there.
   I haven't bothered setting up a node yet. I haven't used the VM in over a year and don't think it is worth it to run a node via Vultr.
   (As an aside, I am running Grin Gold Miner, and I think it's funny that it stores my password in plain text. Cheesy

But so does BTC RPC. Oh well.)

offtopic: I switched to Linux (single boot) in 2015 when windows 10 came out and it became obvious that nothing has changed for the better, after that I never looked back. To me today it's incomprehensible why people are using this junk adware/bloatware/spyware combination, that installs and deletes things on YOUR computer without your knowledge. But I'm not a hater, so I forgive such people, after all they may need it to make money in proprietary software or something.. I wish I persisted with the switch back in the day, then I would most certainly knew about bitcoin in 2009-2010 because of its proximity to hacker/coding culture, and maybe I would have made some profits on these skills.
