still dont understand what this persistent storage means
Persistent storage means whatever you save while you are on the OS of the USB will be saved on it.
so wouldn't this decrease security? I'm using this for complete anonymity, just from what i've read on this all this persistent storage does is grant the user the ability to have a fairly to well secure wallet on there for larger sums of BTC, and for that wouldn't a different linux kernal be more secure since tails seems more widely used and easier to hack? Wouldn't ubuntu be even better just for wallet security and protection on a single usb drive and then using the non-persistent storage able version of tails to browse tor and at preserving my privacy and trace-ability online?
