I was able to build bitcoind and launch the daemon but could not connect using bitcoin-cli. The bitcoind was running and downloading blocks but I couldn't get any response when issuing commands with bitcoin-cli.
I'm sorry if this topic has been covered but it's new to me. I did a search for "Ubuntu and Bash on Windows 10" but didn't find anything.
Anyone else experimenting with Bash on Windows 10? If so, do you have any tips regarding compiling and running bitcoin successfully?
Thanks
edit:
I'd like to point out that I haven't changed any of the Windows settings since the Ubuntu Bash instance operates in it's own space. Everything worked as if I was at an linux command line. Everything compiled. The daemon started. The block data file keep growing. I just can't use the tools that the bitcoin-cli provides because it doesn't connect to the daemon.
