Beyond frustrated in my continued attempts to get Tails to work from a USB made with the Tails installer. Can I use the initial Tails USB made from the USB install utility? Is the only difference that I cannot use persistence? If I save my keys to another USB, I suppose it wouldn't be all that hard to load them in every time. I just need to know if it's secure, and how that might effect my Electrum wallet. Not to mention Electrum requires an update. Does this mean I would have to update Electrum every time I used Tails? Thank you.
Updates are there for a reason, so you should really update. What step are you getting hung up on? I'm definitely no computer whiz, but maybe soemone else or I can help. One thing that hung me up during the upgrade was downloading the update. It shows up in your tor browser folder on TAILS almost immediately, but it actually takes 45 minutes or so to fully download and be able to verify. Could that be the issue? Let us know.
Also, yes you have to update electrum for it to work properly. Here's a link to help you out:
