Title: Installing Bitcoin Core Post by: asdkfj on January 23, 2024, 05:18:28 PM Hi,
I´m trying to install the bitcoin core app, however the Vladmir Van Der Lan public key has been revoked so I can't verify if the SHASUM.asc file is signed by him. Is the another way to verify the origin of the file? Title: Re: Installing Bitcoin Core Post by: apogio on January 23, 2024, 05:38:33 PM Hi. Just go in this website: https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/
There are instructions for you to download and verify the files. I just followed the steps to make sure it works. Otherwise, if you use Linux and want to install bitcoin without GUI, you can follow this tutorial: https://raspibolt.org/guide/bitcoin/bitcoin-client.html Title: Re: Installing Bitcoin Core Post by: satscraper on January 23, 2024, 06:35:10 PM Hi, I´m trying to install the bitcoin core app, however the Vladmir Van Der Lan public key has been revoked so I can't verify if the SHASUM.asc file is signed by him. Is the another way to verify the origin of the file? Find below the link to his pgp key that could verify that SHASUM.asc file. Please, inform here if you succeeded. https://github.com/bitcoin-core/guix.sigs/blob/main/26.0/laanwj/noncodesigned.SHA256SUMS.asc P.S. Following this link you can also find there the relevant pgp keys of other developers who have signed that file.

The latest guide to verifying the authenticity of Bitcoin core is already on bitcoincore.org posted above If it does not work would you mind trying to refresh the expired public using this command below Code: gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --refresh-keys Title: Re: Installing Bitcoin Core Post by: asdkfj on January 23, 2024, 09:49:32 PM Hi, I´m trying to install the bitcoin core app, however the Vladmir Van Der Lan public key has been revoked so I can't verify if the SHASUM.asc file is signed by him.

I did not succeed because the link you sent shows the SHASUM256 for the 26.0 version files, I'm trying to install the file available in the link https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-25.0/bitcoin-25.0-x86_64-apple-darwin.dmg , and verify with those available in https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-25.0/SHA256SUMS.asc and in https://bitcoin.org/laanwj-releases.asc.

After that I´ve checked the status of the signature and it was still shown as revoked.

Following the tutorial shown in https://bitcoin.org. Bitcoin Core's website is bitcoincore.org, not bitcoin.org. bitcoin.org is outdated - it hosts old versions and it's verification instructions are not updated. The release process has changed so that releases are now signed by multiple people, their keys can be found at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/guix.sigs/tree/main/builder-keys.You can read the instructions at https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ for more details on how to verify the binaries, in addition to getting the most recent release. I issue the commad you've sent and got this result ( gpg: key 90C8019E36C2E964: "Wladimir J. van der Laan (Bitcoin Core binary release signing key) <laanwj@gmail.com>" not changed ). After that I´ve checked the status of the signature and it was still shown as revoked. The old release signing key has indeed been revoked since the change in release process. This is not an error.Title: Re: Installing Bitcoin Core Post by: kuriboh on January 27, 2024, 11:58:55 AM Is the another way to verify the origin of the file? Had some questions/confusions etc! :) 1. Download Bitcoin Core from https://bitcoincore.org or bitcoin.org and then either run the bitcoind application in the terminal or click on bitcoin-qt for a graphical screen.1. How do I run this? Never used this, so I have 0 idea. Need a guide. 2. Use pruning, see above. 3. It should not affect Bitcoin Core because it will just resume where it left off after a connection interrupt. Note that this challenge is still open for anybody who meets the requirements in the OP. It's open to everyone, so you can take this challenge if you download it. Your right way is downloaded, and your challenge is taken. You can download and use Bitcoin Core and earn 14 merits in this direction. If you have enough space on your laptop and PC, participate in the 14-day challenge and earn 14 merits.Title: Re: Installing Bitcoin Core Post by: NotATether on January 27, 2024, 02:48:01 PM Code: $ gpg --show-keys --with-subkey-fingerprint /tmp/laanwj.asc It's expired, and there hasn't been a new key published by him. Van Der Laan stepped back from Bitcoin development sometime last year I think, so don't expect him to update his PGP key, at least not any time soon. You can verify the signatures signed by the other developers, though. |
