# Scriptails

###### tags: `Old bc-interns Projects`

#### Lead: Ahsmha

## Main Goals

Human rights activists should not need to learn Linux for advocacy and Bitcoin. This project seeks to make it easier for them to leverage the security and privacy benefits of the Tails operating system for their daily activities.

Scriptails aims to provide a set of scripts for Tails hosted on an onion website which activists can download from and run on their machines. The core idea is to facilitate Tails configuration and usage, attaining a better user experience (UX).

Please also reference the [proposal on GitHub](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Community/discussions/43).

## More Details

Maybe a project with many [complementary] parts.

* Scripts for GNOME customization (modify UX, layout, keyboard, etc);
* Two categories: simple scripts that you paste in amnesia mode, and persistent scripts that are started automatically in persistent mode
* Script for secure seed spliting with SSKR, QR in Tails;
* Have [seedtool](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/seedtool-cli) available for install by `apt-get` for Tails, and update documentation on seedtool repo accordingly (Christopher mentioned that it's a bit different to use `apt-get` on Tails vs Debian);
* Similarly, other tools could be made available, e.g. [keytool](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/keytool-cli), [sweeptool](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/sweeptool-cli), [musign](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/musign-cli), etc.;
* Scripts that leverage other default Amnesia apps like Electrum.
* Have it all up on an onion website, which activists can anonymously access and download the scripts from;
* possibly signed by the onion website itself (see our did:onion and onion signing POCs)
* There's also the possibility to have Tails add these scripts/programs natively, like Electrum.

## TODO

* Define scope and nail down goals for the next 6 weeks;
* Break up goals into sub-tasks;
* Identify milestones;
* Update proposal upon the completion of each to-do.
