• Describe the issue
  Tails OS 5.8
  When clicking on the bitcoin core icon in the menu, nothing happens.
  When loading the bitcoin-qt binary from the terminal I get an error message (see screenshot below).

• Possible fix
  When changing the environment variable manually via the terminal before each run, the issue is resolved. Bitcoin core gui is loaded and the application works as expected. Although, a warning persists in the terminal window (see screenshot).

• Questions
  Unsure if this issue is related to Tail OS, Bitcoin Core or this repo.

What config files do I need to edit to that make my fix permanent?

• Describe the issue
  The URL on line 533 in the init script returns 404 not found.

• Possible solution
  Changing the URL to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/verify-commits/trusted-keys seems to solve the issue. Verification success message is displayed and installation proceeds as expected.

• To do
  I'm not familiar with the bitcoin core repo, so I took a guess to which are the correct builder keys.
  Confirm the correct link and update the .init file.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Tester #2 did not understand what it means to trust someone to clone Bails from them.

Describe the solution you'd like
Wants a link to the threat model of cloning vs installing the software. Wants to know what the person he is trusting can do to him. Negative affects of cloning vs using this website. Review code before running would be better than the current script. Check checksum. Check signature before executing.
