Title: Anyone successfully run electrum daemon / service on a Windows machine?
Post by: boogersguy on December 10, 2017, 01:44:42 PM
I just want JSONRPC access to the electrum wallet.  I see the article here: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/merchant.html  which shows that it does support the RPC interface , but it's assuming you are on Linux.

Does anyone know if this can this be done with the Windows version?

I was looking for windows OS version of Json RPC for electrum but don't see any article from  google or any search engine. Because i was planning to accept bitcoinin my website and use electrum wallet as my wallet.
Looks like only works in debian/linux os.. But if you only had windows os in your side why not use the free 12 months trial of amazon aws you can start launch linux os in their ec2 for free and you can start your project to make your own payment gateway. Or use some third party like bitpay or gourl (for wordpress)

Good idea. but  I think I will just run a full node and use the RPC interface there, which works fine on Windows.

Another solution (which I got up and running pretty quickly) is to create a ubuntu virtual machine running under hyper-v.
