Probably yeah..
The issue i know from building miners is cross platform bullshit.
Most coins are written in old school 'c' and are Linux compiler compatible.
Which throws a wrench in your face when you jump over to windows then back again.
In case you didn't notice Microsoft is not a big fan of supporting old shit.
They moved on from c a hell of a long time ago..

Jeez just compiling on Linux is a big enough bitch as it is.
I had had shitloads of problems pop up using MingW on Windows compiling.
It's all a whole lot of bullshit.. so it better be worth it LOL

I have never compiled a coin wallet / daemon of any kind though.
I looked a few times in code bases though so i know they are similar in style to many miners.
It least they used to be back in the old days.

Why VS? You could use pycharm or pydevn in eclipse and code it in python. Or use eclipse and code it in javascript.
