Windows is back!
Although Satoshi started out with a Windows client, and apparently many miners still use it, most sane developers and security conscious people use Mac or Linux. Over time this led to increasing neglect of Windows support in #BitcoinCore, to the point where some people joked (?) about just dropping it entirely.
But it seems there's renewed attention.
And yes, Linux people look at Mac users they way Mac users look at Windows users.
And BSD people look at Linux users the way Linux users look at Mac users.
Many miners use Windows? How weird.
That's what I've been told, I don't know if there's (public) data on this.
It does make sense. While the big corporate miners can hire fancy developers, who would use Mac or Linux, there's many very small miners out there. Those are often "normal" people who are good at buying equipment and getting access to electricity. Most "normal" people use Windows.
Yeah, but the real ones still use Bitcoin v0.1.1 with Generate Coins!
😳🤔👌
