Title: I get a BAD signature when I try to verify Windows Installer from electrum.org/ Post by: BobbySmithJones on February 20, 2019, 10:32:20 PM I imported Thomas V public key from a link provided on https://electrum.org/#download
and it sent me to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spesmilo/electrum/master/pubkeys/ThomasV.asc and it imported 2 keys: ThomasV <thomasv1@gmx.de> Animazing <animazing@gmail.com> I tried to verify the signature from the Standalone Executable and Windows Installer and my GNU came back with BAD signature. I have not installed any update yet and would like some help in case I'm doing anything wrong. As of now I'm using version 3.2.2 Thank you.

I just tried myself with the latest version of the Standalone Executable (electrum-3.3.4.exe) and the signature was verified.

Once you download the executable, create a text file in the same directory. Copy the signature into that text file, and save it. Then rename the text file to <electrum-3.3.4.exe.asc> and try again.

And that was where I got the link to Thomas v public key. I'll try again but now sure why when I use GNU Privacy Assistant to copy the signature and I hit verify and this is what I see: https://www.flickr.com/photos/29128041@N05/32218952087/in/dateposted-public/ I'll try again but I am trying to verify that the links for Thomas public key are correct that are posted at https://electrum.org/#download and that link is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spesmilo/electrum/master/pubkeys/ThomasV.asc I guess I am verifying it incorrectly but now sure why.

I guess the way I was trying to verify was not correct. Thank you both TryNinja and DireWolfM14 for your help. I wanted to be extra careful because I got a popup on my Electrum when I sent some coin saying I had to update then came here and saw all the messages about people getting phished so... you know. Thanks. |
