I’m glad the article was valuable to you.
The witness script won’t run natively on windows but you could run it in a Ubuntu inside a virtual machine (VirtualBox). However, I suspect the performance will be affected and you still need to assign around 48GB of RAM to the virtual machine.
I did a noob trial it seem everything mess up I can't have both os on the same pc hardrive. Still figure out how but one thing for sure is better to have another on for server ... hope I can get more details on the other side of it... Thanks for the quick reply
Have it running on Windows is not impossible but the risk is you might miss a lot of blocks because the process might not be as smooth as it should.
The easiest guide I know is this one:
https://steemit.com/steem/@someguy123/your-guide-to-setting-up-a-witness-server-steem-in-a-box-hf19
It is using Docker which pulls a prebuilt image and creates a VM that loads that image.
There are other tutorials and videos out there that describes compiling the witness program itself which takes more time and require a better understanding of the Linux system.
That the least information I need to start for now.. I will catch you up again later ...Thanks
