Hi kurono! Long time no see, I hope you're doing well.
Sorry for the very late reply! kurono (2024-04-22): > As a former contributor to Tails and current contributor to the Nym > network (https://nymtech.net/) I am looking into the possibility of > integrating both tools. > > Nym provides a mixnet as an alternative to Tor for sending Internet > traffic.

Before I can start thinking about this, I need to ask: Could you please describe what are the expected benefits of this change for Tails users? I'm asking because "[being] able to send blockchain traffic through Nym" is probably not a goal per-se in the life of most of our users :) > On the other hand if Tails is not interested on integrating and > maintaining Nym, what do you thing about the feasibility of having it as > a Tails derivative?

FTR sajolida already privately pointed kurono to https://tails.net/contribute/derivatives/ Maintaining this as a derivative seems technically doable. I expect one would need at the very least 3 full time workers to do that within an existing org with proper operations/HR/management support. More or less depending on how big the delta to maintain is vs. Tails, and on where you set the bar wrt. QA, user support, doc, localization, etc. Cheers, -- intrigeri _______________________________________________ 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.
