@maxmint: Armory needs the full block chain (if I am right). This does not make for a good live cd if you need to download a couple of hundred megabytes each time and have no place to store it other than RAM.

@Stampbit: A neutral live-cd does not include any Bitcoin-related software. Fetching such software would be as insecure on a live cd as on a normal computer (maybe even worse as you would have to do it over and over again). I tried to minimize my Bitcoin-specific contribution so people can verify it.

Hello,

short notification: BTC Vault 0.2 just released:

- Added local copy of bitaddress.org with shortcut on desktop and in menu
- Disabled flash plugin by default
- Disabled Xorg server network functionality
- Added 7z encryption capability
- Some bugfixes

All information and the download is available under http://dswd.github.com/btcvault


@Stephen Gornick:

There is a Firefox extension for blockchain.info that contains static javascript and pages. I will have a look into it and try to include it in the next version.

The problem is if someone imports a private key to Electrum, that Electrum wallet still needs to be backed up -- just having the seed is not sufficient.

You are absolutely right, I will change the page to clarify that.

@Stephen Gornick:
BTC Vault does not include a local copy of blockchain.info (as this side requires a server) but only a link to it.

BTC Vault - Secure Bitcoin Live-CD

Hi folks,

I want to share something with you that I originally prepared for myself: BTC Vault.

BTC Vault is a Linux Live-CD that should help to store and handle bitcoins securely.
It is a minor adaptation of the Slax Linux distribution with my contribution being so small that you can check it for yourself and see that it does not contain malicious code. If you did the check, please post it here along with the checksums of the files inside your slax directory.

More information is located on the homepage: http://dswd.github.com/btcvault
