2  Bitcoin / Electrum / Verify downloaded Electrum executable on: November 25, 2017, 05:17:27 PM
Hi everybody,

I checked some of the posts on verifying the a downloaded Electrum executable but none of them was applicable to my problem.

I have: Windows 7 SP1, downloaded the Windows standalone executable from https://electrum.org/#download

Using GPG4WIN I imported ThomasV's PGP Public Key (ThomasV is listed as the person who signed all files). The result of this import was
Code:
gpg: key 2BD5824B7F9470E6: 74 trusts not checked due to missing keys (in German: 74 Beglaubigungen wegen fehlender Schlüssel nicht geprüft)
gpg: key 2BD5824B7F9470E6: "Thomas Voegtlin (https://electrum.org) and so on ..." not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1

I continued with checking the Executable's PGP Signature (which was also provided on the above download page). The result was:
Code:
gpg: Signature from .... etc. etc. it all seemed ok. But at the end it was saying:
gpg: WARNING: This key doesn't have a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature really belongs to the owner given above.
etc. etc.

So what does this all mean?
Is the downloaded executable legit or not?
