Topic: Does Linux need a Bitcoin OS? - page 2. (Read 2350 times)
A Bitcoin distro will fail for lack of support.
I think it would be a good idea to do not so much a Bitcoin OS but a general privacy OS. It would have bitcoin functionality, automated encryption of everything, TOR, bitmessage and other similar software. There's Tails which is super tight for security but expansion is limited as it is designed to run off a DVD/thumb drive. Something in the middle between Tails and Ubuntu would be awesome.

Seems Windows 8 is going to force everyone onto their cloud like it or not. (About as bad as it gets for privacy)
Time to ditch it for good.

A minimalistic linux with tor and bitcoind and armory, plus a version with no network connection and armory, for offline wallets, something like Ubuntu Privacy Remix with Armory added. Yes it could be useful.
Building on the privacy idea, I'd appreciate something where two factor authentication is built into the operating system. Two factor is in everything already... It should be a staple in operating systems too.
If someone could modify the kernel to somehow be optimized for mining....
The Cryptographic API of the Linux kernel has a sha256 module.... maybe that can be used.

What would make it a bitcoin OS? It comes packaged with bitcoin-qt?
Wouldn't it be great if everyone started using bitcoins. And wouldn't it be nice if everyone stopped using Windows and Macs. Maybe we can combine these two movements and start a bitcoin OS for everyone.
I put together Bit-OS on sourceforge, but I am more interested in what you think. Everything is set up out of box to make using and trading bitcoins more user friendly. Do you think the world needs a bitcoin OS? Do you see how these two ideas coincide and would make the world a better place?
Thanks,
