There are two aspects to this:
1. Allowing Tails users to use DeepOnion
Once your client software is in Debian (stable or worst case
stable backports), then Tails users will be able to easily install
and use it. If needed we can ship whatever tiny config file is
needed to make it go through Tor so that it works out of the box.
Creating a third-party Debian repository would also work but using
that is much harder (for Tails users) to set up and the amount of
trust they have to put into your project and its infrastructure is
much greater. So this might be a reasonable first step but I would
suggest you don't stop and that and instead include your software
in Debian proper :)
2. Accepting donations to Tails with DeepOnion
It seems that every cryptocurrency project around there has been
getting in touch with us in the last 2 years, requesting that we
accept donations made with their tool. We work with limited
resources and can definitely not support them all. If somebody
built an unbiased comparison that allowed us to draw a conclusion
like "it would be worth the effort to support cryptocurrency X,
here's how you would do it" then we might do it. But so far I've
not seen this happen. Needless to say, members of cryptocurrency
projects are not the best placed people to build such an unbiased
summary :)
And most of the time, to accept such donations we would need to run
software ourselves that's not in Debian, which our internal teams'
security policy forbids ⇒ point #1 above is relevant here as well.
Cheers,
