Surely many of you are either interested in the bitcoin cryptocurrency or you have bitcoins that you want to use in the safest way possible. In Gnu / Linux and in many official distribution repositories there is very useful software to do this, but also there are bitcoin-focused or focused distributions.
In this case, the main one or at least the most famous one is BitKey, a distribution that is based on Debian but has interesting security measures.
Bitkey offers us three configurations related to the security of the operating system
Bitkey is based on Debian, the world's most famous Gnu / Linux motherboard distribution. But unlike other distributions, Bitkey is to be installed and used on a flash drive or pendrive. Thus, in this way, we do not have to worry about whether a user has connected to our computer and created something insecure or if some ransomware has invaded our system. In this case, We install Bitkey on a pendrive and when we want to use the bitcoin we turn on the pc from the pendrive and voila.
In addition to the latest security software, BitKey has three configuration modes that are related to the desktop wallpaper. Thus, the most insecure mode makes the wallpaper red, the medium mode uses the blue wallpaper and the safest mode uses the green wallpaper. Electrum, incognito Chromium and qrcode are some of the tools that accompany this distribution.
If you are interested in getting this distribution, in this link not only will you get the distribution but you will also find the guide to install and configure this distribution in detail. A) Yes, your cryptocurrencies will not run any risk or danger although on the other hand, if we do not do a very risky web browsing, through a normal distribution there will not be a great problem of insecurity either Do not you think?
Hi Joaquin. Thanks for the post. Lately I got involved with bitcoin and I'm searching for Linux apps for bitcoin and I came across your post. Wonderful for us Linux users. Greetings from Mexico.
