Post by: djhomeschool on June 27, 2019, 10:37:39 PM
There is a major DDoS going on at the ONLY REAL WEBSITE -> Electrum.org

The site is down for the moment, be patient it will come back up.


ALL OTHER DOMAINS ARE PHISHING SITES!!! DOWNLOAD ONLY FROM THE ORIGINAL SITE!!

If anyone doesn't have a copy, I'd suggest downloading it on an Android phone with your seed (or use an emulator on a computer - one from Google or a trusted source).

Alternatively, if you have ThomasV's signature, you can download from here https://web.archive.org/web/20190624144011/electrum.org/#download but use it at your own risk and if it doesn't verify then delete it.

Only the homepage and electrum.org/#downloads is suffering to DDOS attack but not the subdomains.

So alternatively you can download Electrum wallet through this link https://download.electrum.org/
And make sure to verify it guide from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4183993.0

it doesn't matter where you download Electrum binaries from, if things were more serious we could simply create a torrent file and start sharing different versions through the torrent P2P network so that anybody could download it.

but only as long as they verify the signature of the files they download correctly and with the correct PGP public key. https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/pubkeys/ThomasV.asc
