Title: Verify Bitcoin 22.0 download Post by: Onno on December 24, 2021, 07:38:56 AM I recently downloaded 22.0 from https://bitcoin.org/en/download but now it is unclear to me how I can verify the download. For example when I follow instruction online see https://askubuntu.com/questions/53519/how-do-i-verify-the-pgp-downloaded-signature-of-the-truecrypt-setup-file-with-se (https://askubuntu.com/questions/53519/how-do-i-verify-the-pgp-downloaded-signature-of-the-truecrypt-setup-file-with-se) I end up with unsuccessful validation of the download.
I can't find any information on bitcoin.org on how to verify a download. Assuming the instruction I found is correct this means that SHA256SUMS.asc does not contain a signature for the file I downloaded. With other words, downloads cannot be verified at this point. How do I verify a download with https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-22.0/SHA256SUMS.asc and https://bitcoin.org/laanwj-releases.asc? Code: [myuser:~/Desktop/bitcoin] [2.5.3] 2 $ gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc btc-022.tar.gz Title: Re: Verify Bitcoin 22.0 download Post by: mocacinno on December 24, 2021, 07:53:24 AM It seems like you didn't download the keys of the signers before verifying the signature...
gpg2 --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu/ --search-keys [key] or download them manually, save them in an ascii text file and import them gpg --import textfile.txt You can download the list you'll need from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/master/contrib/builder-keys/keys.txt Title: Re: Verify Bitcoin 22.0 download Post by: nc50lc on December 24, 2021, 07:57:33 AM -snip- 'SHA256SUMS.asc' contains signatures which you can use to verify the file 'SHA256SUMS' which contains the SHA256 hashes of the Bitcoin Core binaries.How do I verify a download with https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-22.0/SHA256SUMS.asc and https://bitcoin.org/laanwj-releases.asc? There are instructions in bitcoincore.org download page: Verify your download (https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/#:~:text=Linux%20verification%20instructions) |
