Hi,
We've already been asked to provide a bitcoin client in Tails [1]. Until
now we were blocked by the persistence issue but this is solved since
Tails 0.11.

Now we would need to do a benchmarking and audit possible bitcoin
clients. But this hasn't been done so far. Any help on this task would
be welcome. I think there are no graphical bitcoin client in Debian so
Electrum might well be a candidate.
For a page on the Bitcoin wiki [2], it seems like you can configure
bitcoind to go through Tor using the 'proxy' parameter. I guess that
would not require proxychains.

But remember that bitcoin is not officially supported in Tails and thus
comes with no guarantee whatsoever.

You're lucky: that should be ready for the next release [3].
