@anodirium I cant get mist working in win 7 - it is well known.

@jambtt Mist works in Windows 7 I believe. His problem was a bug in the latest version that makes it so it doesn't work for clean installs (you need an existing install to work).

ok cool, myself win7 64b and another can not get to work - generic windows "Mist stopped working"
...never starts. :(
anyone know what AWS instance type would be best for just running Geth? no mining. Uptime critical only.
i ran a m3.medium and it kept freezing. g8.large fine but bloody hell $40/day

You should be able to run geth on a micro instance.

@jimeejones
thats what I would have thought - kept freezing. I will try again.

You do need a bit of HDD space since there isn't a lite client yet.
On Windows with Mist (backed by geth) it is using ~21GB. Not sure how much of that is critical.

yes - I did run out of space... but prior to that the sync kept freezing, perhaps it is more of a problem when catching uip from block 0 - rather then when caught up
