Title: Have you ever compiled Electrum from source code and check its hash with the rel Post by: pooya87 on December 24, 2019, 04:17:24 AM the good thing about deterministic or reproducible (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducible_builds) builds is that anybody can compile the code and then compare the result with what the developers had released as compiled version.
i have found that only a handful of wallets do this (bitcoin core, Electrum, Wasabi and Mycelium). i am wondering whether anybody is performing this check for Electrum releases?

Code: This script does not produce reproducible output(yet!). Please help us remedy this. EDIT: I've checked walletscrutiny (https://walletscrutiny.com/posts/2019/12/elecrtum/)and apparently, they didn't get a match after trying to compile it either.

Title: Re: Have you ever compiled Electrum from source code and check its hash with the rel Post by: HCP on December 26, 2019, 11:50:00 PM I compiled a Windows version a long time ago... but I never compared hashes as I think it may have been before the builds were considered "reproducible"... or, more likely, I was just lazy and didn't bother checking! :P

Back then this was right but Electrum for Android turned reproducible meanwhile (https://walletscrutiny.com/android/org.electrum.electrum/). |
