So assuming I only get newer versions of electrum by comparing file hashes contained in GPG signed keys, is there any way a stock electrum installation could be fooled into showing a fake update screen? Assuming that electrum even has any update screens coded into it, because if it doesn't, then I guess all such dialogs should not be trusted. What should I do in a situation like that?
I go with the old fashioned way. I uncheck the auto update option in my Electrum and when there are any new update, I just uninstall my current Electrum and then download the newer version, verify the application file and then install it. The instant auto update is very easy but I somehow do not feel secure about it.

Good catch buddy. It's a sad thing that these doubler scammers are still in operation and search engines are failing to spot them. I owe you some merit.

First of all, there are no cricket matches ongoing in any part of the globe. Not even street cricket. Lockdowns are being imposed in every nook and corner of this planet and only one or two sports leagues are ongoing now (the ones that come to my mind are the Belarussian Premier League football competition and the Super Basketball League of Taiwan). So if you want live cricket, then unfortunately I can't help. Secondly, if you want to do something related to cricket really badly, then you can try computer games such as Cricket 19 (PS 4) or World Cricket Championship (Android). I am not a big fan of virtual games, so I haven't tried them. A third choice is to watch the highlights of past matches. Once again, I hate these telecasts. There is no fun in watching a cricket match, if you already know about the outcome. These are the limited choices we have right now. Make yourself comfortable and feel free to make a selection. None is going cool with me. Not a fan of virtual sports. I never played any cricket game in phone or computer. It is boring LOL Highlights are boring instead I am watching movies :-D I was thinking to do something entertaining so that we all can hang up together in here and make the forum experience interesting. Any idea from anyone?

It's boring without cricket, gambling and usual things I used to to in life. Someone come up with something so that we find some entertainment :-D Nothing around?

Are you willing to send me your account detials for my team to access it and drop the deposit? Seriously! I am interested to know if he and his team ever had any success. Ask him about his portfolio :-P PS: This is a telegram bot: @userinfobot Forward one of his text to this bot and you will find his telegram details. Post here the ID so that his ID gets exposed in here.

Good to see this in this board. @Hacker, I doubt yobit care much about anything else except making money for them only.

This seems obvious scam and I would like to see anyone to create a topic in the scam accusations boards with some data so that we can warn the community about it. This Altcoin Discussion is a spammy board and I do not think many people will notice this in here.

They're both mobile wallets, you won't be able to recover them on Electrum mobile if it's the only device op has...
That's too risky.

Want to shake hands?
(Remember what that was like, back in the old days of all the years B.V. (‘Before the Virus’)?)
Just like old days. Hashtag SocialGathering LOL at the forum trolls (foxpup, suchmoon, ibminer, etc)
Please refrain on using me in your weak attempts to garnish narcissistic supply. My advice to you is: seek psychotherapy. No! Not again :-P

April fool's about to go in the next ~4 minutes. And on a serious note - I can not count how many times I have seen the same information to be asked in this Meta B&H board so far. When I will get too bored, I am thinking to ask the same question to see the reaction of the community lol

I never used any of these wallets. If you have seed / private key then you can try importing the wallet in electrum.

I just checked your post history and it does not seem like you are alt of Theymos. It was supposed to be him :-P However... This place is too mysterious :- D.
Sorry for my buddy GP.
DireWolfM14, let's wait for theymos to wake up today. I am waiting for his topic. May be he will come up with this news that he is Covid-19 positive :-D

I was not ready to read this. Very sad. Sorry to see you are going through this bud. The almighty will love you. You will rest in peace and will be missed around. Make sure you talk about Bitcoin to our ancestors.
On a serious note, your witty sense will remain with us forever.
Cheers to celebrate the other world.

Should Reputation be a child board of Meta? Or should it be a board of its own? Or is it perfectly fine where it is?
I don't know what will be the units to measure the perfection here but I think the current setting is doing the work. I have no creative proposal for it yet :-D
