I know this might not be a priority, but how about a compiled hived.exe for Windows with basic tray icon and graphical installer for simpler users? That could allow for further decentralization as some users might want to have it running in their home-PCs and using localhost as their API node.
Just an idea to think about.
This can be accomplished already by running hived inside docker (i.e., inside a virtual machine). You can run docker on your Windows.
Yes, but what I was suggesting was more akin to a native Windows node instead of a virtualized node with complex installation.
Docker for Windows is actually super simple to install :-)
It is? Please explain it to me in a no coder way!
