Electrum sounds interesting, if we want a Bitcoin client in Tails.
Bug tracker is down currently, so I cannot verify what our opinion
is and what earlier efforts have been made.

If I understand it correctly, having a Bitcoin client is preferred
to using e.g. blockchain.info, as the remote server cannot learn your
encryption keys.

Please tell us any information (e.g. commands) we need
to make it easier for us to evaluate this software in Tails.

(I'll try to remember to add that to the right tickets when
bug tracker is back up again.)
