I agree that, if Tails was to include software for another
cryptocurrency, it should be Monero.

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.

I see that the monero CLI and server is already in Debian but that the
shape of the package is not super great:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/monero

I can't find any GUI for it in Debian.

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.

[Tails-dev] Monero GUI/CLI Debian Package On Tails

[K via Tails-dev]

We need to get this on TAILS as soon as possible. This is exactly what the 
Tails OS needs right now. 

Whonix needs to allow The Monero Project to co-sign this Debian package and 
also the devs on both sides can collaborate on how to push this into the Tails 
OS list of pre-installed programs. 
If we have both Whonix devs and Monero devs overseeing the code of this package 
and both eyes confirm it's secure, there's no reason this can't be added to the 
Tails operating system. 
If Monero and Whonix work together with Debian, I feel like the next logical 
step would be for the TAILS devs to add this to the next major update. 
If we can push the Monero GUI and the Monero CLI onto the official Tails OS, it 
would go a very long way in terms of financial privacy on the Tails OS. 
Right now, the Tails platform is using Electrum as it's main crypto currency 
Wallet, which uses Bitcoin. 
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. 
Monero would be the best bet, in terms of consumer privacy and financial 
freedom. 
Let's get this done as soon as possible. 
Thank you all for your time!
