This should not become a philosophical discussions here.
I am quite experienced in any mainstream OS out there, started win MSDOS back in the late 80s and all windows versions all the way.
I managed linux servers of all flavours and was working on linux desktops as well as Mac OS on day to day basis.
I experimented with virtualization tech on all these platforms a lot.
And yes - I have as well built some custom PCs as well along the way - this is self evident looking at above.

Therefore I can surely say I am not an "avarage user" and I can asses whether a hardware is fully crap or not.
And I have a feeling of what a PC is capable of in terms of computation and I can surely decide what tradeof I can accept.
As I wrote at some point - I can wait, I have the time.

I do not agree with the opinion, that one has to have a top notch hardware just to run a crypto wallet.
Quite in contrary - I need a clean, dedicated PC to run the wallet, so I can not use my day to day hardware for this to be fully on the safe side. That is why I took an older but good PC I had spare.
You can think of this PC what you want, but there is no crap involved in DELLs precision workstation line, there never was.

I do appreciate the efforts put into this software. I really do because I am a developer myself.
But as all in life, great projects can also get better if a healthy criticism is allowed.

My critic point is this: A wallet software should be reliable and verbose about what it does at any stage because there is money involved.
Armory clearly does something without keeping the user informed. Then it reports a "redy to go" when it isn't so follow up issues arise.
Bitcoin Core runnin gas full node on the same PC does not seem to have a problem with the limited hardware and is ready to go in 30 seconds working on the same blockchain data up to the recent block, whereas armory get stuck at block 300-something and reports all ready to go after several days of "doing something".

Do not get me wrong, I really appreciate any effort of any opensource dev out there, especially ones like goatpig who manages a complex software like armory. My great respect for work like this.
If I was a python expert I would be ready to actively contribute to fix the problems I see.

But unfortunately all I can do is to express my experience after I tried to test the software and donate some BTC if I get an adress from goatpig.

So, the community can either appreciate my voice on this or keep the blinkers on and do not bother.
