Adding a feature to Tails has a very real, non-zero cost which poses the question: is it worth spending time that we otherwise would use to improve Tails in concrete ways? For a BTC fork that has been showing promise "in the past few days" it's simply way too premature.

To truly get this done, make a push for a wallet software that supports *multiple* cryptocurrencies (and ideally not only BTC forks, but also fundamentally different designs like Monero, Zerocoin/Zcash/Zerocash/Zzzz-whatever etc). This should not only help Tails, but improve this landscape for all cryptocurrency users.
