Summary
This was an error that came up in slack: https://iron-fish.slack.com/archives/C02PF56HESK/p1678727391843899 I suspect some people are installing 32-bit versions by mistake.
If they do actually have 32-bit Windows computers, those would be at least 10 years old, which likely will end up struggling to run Iron Fish anyway (particularly since we recommend >4GB RAM)
Testing Plan
Documentation
Does this change require any updates to the Iron Fish Docs (ex. the RPC API
Reference)? If yes, link a
related documentation pull request for the website.
I updated the onboarding docs to specifically call out 64-bit installs: https://ironfish.network/docs/onboarding/installation-iron-fish
