Title: Problem verifying Electrum 4.2 Signature With Kleopatra Post by: ps1234 on March 20, 2022, 06:29:28 PM On Windows 7 I downloaded GPG4WIN to verify the latest Electrum 4.2 download.
I followed the procedure given on the Electrum Download page => https://bitzuma.com/posts/how-to-verify-an-electrum-download-on-windows/ Having got GPG4WIN verified, I run Kleopatra and do a Lookup on Server for the key for ThamasV = 0x2bd5824b7f9470e6 It does find an entry for ThomasV, which I import. However, the result of the import is Certificates Total number processed: 0 Imported: 0 When I decrypt/verify using electrum-4.2.0.exe.asc the result is: Verified ‘electrum-4.2.0.exe’ with ‘electrum-4.2.0.exe.asc’: 3 signatures could not be verified. It then gives options for 3 signatures to search for or import the 3 signatures.. Search gives no results and I don't have files to import from. What am I doing wrong?

Go to https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/master/pubkeys Download ThomasV, Emzy and sombernight_releasekey files. Make sure that the content of resulted files start with Code: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- and not some html. (you can look with notepad) Import the 3 files into Kleopatra (if you've saved correct asc a double click may do). Then check the Electrum asc again.

The verification was successful. I can now trust the validity of the download.

You can, however, no one mentioned yet that you won't be able to install and use Electrum version 4.2.x on a Windows 7 machine. That OS is no longer supported according to Electrum's release notes. Updating to Windows 10 is recommended. Alternatively, you can use Win 8 or abandon Windows altogether and switch to Linux.

It's weird because in OP's other thread posted 1 day later, he said that he successfully installed and opened his wallet using 4.2.Perhaps it's a different machine or a niche case where it works in some W7 versions.
