Solana Validator Education - Getting Started as a Validator Part 1

[@АндрейТор-ы9б]

Thank you very much for video guys! Until 40 minutes, different steps were quite clear and very useful, while last 20/25 minutes it seems that you took several steps for “granted” and at least for me, it was not so easy to follow and for sure I would need more clarification. I was waiting for the second part indeed where maybe you were supposed to cover in details some points and continue with set up, but I can’t find anything on youtube. Do you maybe know when and if it will be available? There are a lot of things and steps that new validator should know and learn in order to start his first validator and monitoring activities. Thanks again!

This may be a dumb question, but do I need to know how to code in order to become a Validator?

I'm in a sense of a pickle- Through Windows, I've been working alongside and only realized until mid-way through that as we started playing with Ubuntu from the Macbook Terminal, that none of this is starting to make sense for Windows Users. When can we expect a Windows-based setup guide, if ever? I have money parked in my validator ready for rent and everything but can't get connected to mainnet because I can't properly configure a URL, which seems like the only way to do that is through Unbuntu/Linux/Mac. :C
