I've installed Liberte onto my external hard drive, so I can now boot any of my laptops from it and have an instant secure-browsing setup. Quite satisfied. I also have a complete backup of each of my laptops on the hard drive (it's a 1tb from western digital), so it's like a computer I can stick in my pocket--plug it in to any pc and boot it up and I've got my whole computer right there. So pleased.
However, I'd love to find a way to run bitcoin from it--I don't trust e-wallets one bit after reviewing the history of bitcoin, I'd like to have my bitcoins safe and sound on my computer where I can be responsible for ensuring that they are not stolen or compromised. Is there a way to run bitcoin on Liberte? If not, there should be, or some equivalent. In fact, I'd love to see a bundle issued consisting of liberte pre-loaded with bitcoin.
Any thoughts on the matter? Perhaps someone can explain what the compatibility issue is?

there is no bitcoin valet or client on LIberte and never will be. there is many reasons for it, one is that bitcoins network is IP based network and LIberte is TOR based OS.

Does that mean you should not use a bitcoin client with tor on another OS?

If I will exclude WIndows versions from the list, then there is few linux distros which can be used with bitcoin clients, but even then you may need consider to buy VPN service in some in non complacent country, then your IP will not be exposed on bitcoin network.
in itself that task quite complex to perform for most of users here. First a Linux distro with working VPN manager (good luck), second bitcoin client installation on that distro. Not an easy project to accomplish, add as a minimum, some dedicated computer for experiments.

I have been using a bitcoin client on linux, with tor for my bitcoin needs. I just set the bitcoin client proxy setting to my Tor Browser Bundle. It gets warning messages however.
I talked more about the warning messages here, in a previous post: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=34879.msg401257#msg401257
Should I stop using my bitcoin client and go back to web based wallets? Thanks...
