Hi, Jim via Tails-dev: > Has the Tails development considered pre-installing the full Monero client > onto the TAILS OS?
We did, but at the time no Monero client was available in Debian: https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/14390 https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/15686 https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/13443 But now I see that the Monero *command-line* client is available in Debian (including stretch-backports). > It would make perfect send for Tails to come pre-installed with > either the full Monero GUI client. I see no Monero GUI in Debian so our reply on the aforementioned tickets still applies: I don't think we should install a command-line Monero with no GUI by default. Still, if someone wants to work on Monero support in Tails, with a target audience that's fine with the command line, next steps would be to install the Monero client on Tails (apt install monero/stretch-backports), test it, and figure out what it takes to make it work fine. Note that the package description reads: Beware that full global transaction history (blockchain) is stored locally, which may require very large amounts of disk space. . Disk space requirements (as of June 2018): ~40 gigabyte data, ~50 gigabyte on disk, growing ~2 gigabyte per month. More info at <https://moneroblocks.info/stats/blockchain-growth>. … which might not work well with Tails persistent volumes on USB sticks.
