@veqtrus good catch, thanks! I fixed it. Did you see any other potential problems? |
This is a cosmetic detail but when not right-clicking the Command Prompt icon on the start screen (e.g. when not running it as an administrator) it looks like this. |
@veqtrus to clarify, I should use a cut-out of that image you provided to replace this image? http://dg1.dtrt.org/img/full-node/en-win8-running-cmd.png |
@harding yes, no need to run as administrator. |
Thanks to Wladimir for a description of the Windows/Bitcoin Core shutdown relationship.
Thanks to Paul Georgiou for instructions and screenshots! Closes bitcoin-dot-org#825, Closes bitcoin-dot-org#763
@veqtrus updated, thanks! Anything else I can improve? |
More feedback is always welcome, but in the absence of any major critical feedack, I will merge this around 14:00 UTC Tuesday. |
