I don't use old hardware. I use a virtual machine for my wallets and XP is clean by default.

Hey Ryota, the Monero team are going to address this once the embedded database is complete, which is one of the main things on the agenda at the moment.

I am interested to invest in Monero for the long term but I have many concerns.

- I use a virtual machine and I can't install monero on XP (32 bit), all platforms should be supported.

- When BTC is rising, LTC/BTC goes up but not monero, so we loose money, it seems difficult to grow without btc-e and bigger exchanges.

Why should anybody support a platform that is outdated like XP?
Should we support Amiga and Atari too?

We do support XP - we just don't support XP 32-bit until the embedded database is out (due to memory constraints).
