Topic: ELECTRUM URANDOM VULNERABLE ON TAILS (Read 749 times)
`/dev/random` and `/dev/urandom` are the best sources of entropy on a PC. Any other technique can only match them or do worst.
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:

If you are concerned just move the bitcoin to a good hardware wallet like Trezor.
From what I can read in this github comment Tails fixes the entropy problem by using haveged
So you should be ok.

No its, not because it uses the same seed every time.
I`m also concerned about this ,especially in weakened hardware processors.
