You can find my guide to installing Monero in TAILS and configuring it to use TOR here:

Sounds interesting, not familiar with Veracrypt. Btw, do you know why there's little talk around here about whonix?

good guide but it is missing the verifying of the downloaded files. veracrypt is a worthwhile target for all kinds of law enforcement agencies and the last thing a dnm users wants is malware on his tails usb.
