Running Specter-Desktop on Windows

1. Install Python 3.7 from Microsoft Store (python 3.8 is not supported yet). You may need to install Visual C++ Redistributable for it.
2. Install libusb:
   • Download latest binary from https://libusb.info/ and extract
   • For 32-bit Windows:
     • Copy MS32\dll\libusb-1.0.dll to C:\Windows\System32
   • For 64-bit Windows:
     • Copy MS64\dll\libusb-1.0.dll to C:\Windows\System32
     • Copy MS32\dll\libusb-1.0.dll to C:\Windows\SysWOW64
3. Edit Bitcoin Core config file and make sure server=1 is set (it's in ~\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\bitcoin.conf)

Now you can install specter-desktop and run as usual:

python3 -m pip install cryptoadvance.specter
python3 -m cryptoadvance.specter server

Web interface should be on http://localhost:25441/
