daemon stops unexpectedly (v0.5.0.0) #186

wownerod.exe on Win10x64 quits immediately after showing these lines without any error message even if the log level set to detailed (4):

2019-03-04 20:48:29.153 13064 INFO global src/daemon/main.cpp:227 Wownero 'Erotic EggplantEmoji' (v0.5.0.0-release)

2019-03-04 20:48:29.153 13064 INFO global src/daemon/protocol.h:58 Cryptonote protocol initialized OK

I'm aware of this. I'm getting the same behavior when building Monero from master as well, and I've tried building on two different computers now. So, I will either just wait for Monero to fix it upstream or work with them using debug build to try and figure it out.

You can try this...

in the taskbar search, type "powershell"
right-click on powershell and select "Run as Administrator"
copy and paste this Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux and hit enter
restart your computer
open the Microsoft Store, search for "ubuntu", select the first result, click on the Install
in the taskbar search, type "ubuntu", click on ubuntu
type these commands:

  sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys B09DF0E4B0C56A94
  sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.wownero.com/ bionic main"
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install wownero

type "wownerod" and hit enter to run daemon
once synced, type "wownero-wallet-cli" and enter to open wallet
pat yourself on the back

but why 0.4.0.0 works normally even on Win10 (x64)?

because there were tons of changes and now new version is broke on Windows

fixed with 0.5.1
