Hi guys, i store a big stash of bitcoins that i earned from altcoin trading, on Tails.
I noticed that Electrum uses
urandom
function of the linux package.
But TAILS is having a problem with that:

Is it safe to use ELECTRUM in TAILS?
If you are concerned just move the bitcoin to a good hardware wallet like Trezor.
