Personally I would hope that somebody launching a coin of their own would have the technical competance to compile a windows binary on their own. Or at least have dev. on-staff full-time that can do it. Am I missing something here?
This. For a coin that's going to be actually used for trading and having value, I would hope the core developers behind it know how to do a simple windows build. If they don't, they shouldn't be forking the litecoin github and just changing values to make a new coin.
