Electrum 2.0 on TAILS?

Has anyone updated to 2.0 on TAILS? I don't typically change anything in TAILS but I want to setup a MS wallet.

If you are using persistence, make a backup copy of your wallet file before attempting this. The upgrade will convert it to a format that is not readable by 1.9.8. If you have the seed words, you will be able to recreate the wallet minus any labels you have given to the receive bitcoin addresses. You can access your current wallet file from the file manager like this: Places > Home Folder View > Show Hidden Files Double click on ".electrum" Double click on "wallets" Right click on "default_wallet" (or other wallets if you have them) and select copy. Paste it to /home/amnesia/Persistent Download "Electrum-2.1.1.tar.gz" from https://electrum.org/#download (under "Installation from Python sources") to /home/amnesia/Tor Browser" on Tails. Using the file manager copy it to /home/amnesia/Persistent. Right click on it and select "Extract Here". Start a command line terminal window (small black box on top left menu bar) and type the following commands. cd .electrum The following "rm" command will remove the old Electrum config file. If this is not done, the new version of Electrum will crash at start up: rm config

cd

cd Persistence

cd Electrum-2.1.1

./electrum When it starts up, you need to configure the network so that it can connect through Tor. Tools > Network Make these settings: Server: Auto-connect - check mark

Use SSL - check mark

Proxy: SOCKS5 localhost 9050 Shut down Electrum After you get it running and connected, you can restart it next time from the file manager. Places > Persistent > Electrum-2.1.1 Double click on "electrum". Select "Run".

I've got 2.0.3 working on my USB install. Not sure if you're supposed to... judging solely from reading about the next Tails release (it won't even include the latest version).

I deleted the old version, booted my USB with Admin privileges so I could do a fresh sudo install of the latest version using my wallet's mneumonic (sp) seed after uninstall.

I'm not sure why you are planning to use a multisig wallet on Tails. If it's to use a multsig marketplace, you probably don't need to do that. The way the multisig tutorial on the sidebar describes using a multisig market isn't the way any of the current multisig markets implement the escrow feature. Most markets just require you to get a bitcoin public key for your settings and you can do that from 1.98 using a standard non-multisig wallet. In fact you can't do it from a multisig wallet in 2.0+ electrum. I know, go figure.

If you want to get bitcoin public key for the settings for a multisig market and you're running Electrum 1.98, you just need to copy an address from your addresses tab to the console tab and type this command:

getpubkeys("ADDRESSYOUCOPIED")

When you hit ENTER key you should get back a long alphanumeric key. That's the public key you need. It's a good idea to freeze and label the address you copied "multisig" (right click the address, select freeze, and edit label) in case you need to sign a transaction using the private key later. You don't need an electrum multisig wallet to do any of this. I can't count the number of people I've had to go through the "unlearning" process with who read the sidebar tutorial on multisig and then couldn't use multisig on a market.
