Well, we took a a pair cheap cloudbooks from Target and repurposed them as Linux-based hardware bitcoin wallets with a complete open-source (and thus, more trusted) software stack. No black boxes here.
Now we need to add wallets for other coins like Ethereum, ZCash, Dash, Ripple and others. These systems come with 32GB of flash storage, we’ll see if we need to add more storage via the SD card slot or not. If we do, that volume will need to be encrypted either with LVM or by making it the home folder and enabling home folder encryption. We’ll burn that bridge when we come to it.
For now, we want to be able to run Coinomi, an open-source android wallet. How do we run Android? With . VirtualBox.
Our first in-depth tutorial – coming shortly – will detail how to install VirtualBox, Android and Coinomi, in that order.
