According to an email response by Mike Hearn, both libccoin and picocoin should work on Windows. However, he notes that picocoin may be less secure on this platform due to the lack of fork. Despite this, Mike suggests that Windows has good sandboxing support and proposes the potential implementation of Win32 for the same purpose.The email also includes a link to Go Parallel, a resource that provides updates on parallel hardware and programming. It seems that the user is interested in exploring libccoin and picocoin on Windows, and this response provides some insight into their compatibility and security considerations.Picocoin is a new bitcoin implementation that comes with a bitcoin library called libccoin. This library supports various essential features of a bitcoin client, such as network datastructures, script parsing and validation, transaction and block validation, headers-only or full block database, and more. Picocoin itself is a command line/JSON-driven bitcoin wallet with advanced security features like required wallet encryption and fork-based process separation of P2P networking and wallet.Some notable features of picocoin include support for multiple block chains, bloom filtering, and improved security. The announcement also mentions that code contributions, comments, and donations are welcome.At the end of the email, there is a signature from Peter Vessenes, CEO of CoinLab.
