I cannot even run oyster.exe app to make wallet, the app starts and shuts down instant.
I ran the Pearl-Wallet-Setup-1.0.0.exe on Windows 11 and had no issues. I run the miner in a WSL Ubuntu 24.04 instance, I restricted the WSL instance from doing a lot of things on my PC, as I dont trust some random new miner:
No Windows drive mounted
No /mnt/c file access
No easy Windows .exe launching
No Windows PATH injection
Miner stored only in WSL Linux home
Fresh/limited mining environment
So far its working well with my 2 x 5090s and I didnt have to deal with setting up HIVE OS, as my motherboard was crying about secure boot and honestly messing with any of that on a threadripper board results in all kinds of issues, Ram training starts failing, boots take 5 mins... just cancer. So I am mining on Windows.
From what I can tell this is a better outcome than renting out my rig on Vast.AI, at least right now. Granted there are more hoops to jump through as far as getting paid.
I can also stop mining at any time, when the pool was having issues for about 6 hours yesterday lots of people were complaining because they are still paying hourly for Vast.AI rigs, so I guess its nice to be isolated from that since I own my own hardware.
Perhaps the coin will die, but even mining for a week would be quite profitable.
