We have a FAQ about adding more software to Tails: https://tails.boum.org/support/faq#new_software If a software is not included in Tails, but is included in Debian, you can use the Additional Software feature of the Persistent Storage to install it automatically every time you start Tails.

If the Monero project upstream is serious about Linux adoption, they should be the ones working on having it in Debian. I don't think that Tails should do this work. -- sajolida Tails — https://tails.boum.org/ UX · Fundraising · Technical Writing ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.

I think it is a great idea to include Monero onto Tails. Monero is a very mainstream coin as an alternative to Bitcoin. > Right now, the Tails platform is using Electrum as it's main crypto > currency Wallet, which uses Bitcoin. Electrum is a privacy nightmare unless you run your own electrum server. Which most people do not do. Even if electrum is kept for compatibility reasons I think we should at least include a more privacy focused bitcoin wallet like Wasabi. Wasabi wallet can be built reproducible. > I'm sure we can all agree that Bitcoin is not at all private, as the > entire Blockchain is accessible to anyone with cheap Blockchain Analysis > Tools and Software. > Eventually, Debian and the Tails OS devs should phase in a more privacy > oriented coin. Right now Monero is better for privacy and by default. But I think we should still keep Bitcoin support on Tails because Bitcoin is way more mainstream than Monero and there is still a need to be able to use Bitcoin. My suggestion is include Monero cli because monero cli can be built reproducible. And monero cli client is better. But if Monero gui can be built reproducible in tails then to include that as a user easy to use option for the less tech savy. And to include Wasabi wallet for bitcoin. Bitcoin lightning network support in tails would be nice also. I am not sure what wallet would be best for that. I know the latest version of electrum in beta now has support for lightning. I am hoping Wasabi Wallet eventually includes lightning network support. If electrum wallet is kept in tails what about idea to include electrum personal server software with tails to promote more privacy? Electrum is a great wallet but is horrible with privacy if you do not use your own server or electrum personal server. -- lee.chif...@secmail.pro PGP 97F0C3AE985A191DA0556BCAA82529E2025BDE35 ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
[Tails-dev] Preparing the upcoming release: 4.9
Hi, After a somewhat extended break, I'm trying to plan my coming back to Tails duties to get ready for the upcoming release (4.9, July 27-28). It'll take me a few days to catch up with at least Jenkins results, trying to prioritize GitLab stuff that's waiting on me, and checking recent changes to the release process. If you feel some topic might need special attention, as usual, feel free to get in touch with me. Depending on the topic, one or several lists in recipients should work; feel free to cc me explicitly to make sure I see your mail. :) Thanks for bearing with my being away and slowly coming back.
