Thanks I'm not sure why that one web browser keeps getting shunted to that page but I got the right key imported.


LOL.  Honestly I never thought I'd be so paranoid about installing anything before.  I'm *not* naive when it comes to computer security I can imagine *so many* attack vectors I'm scared of everything.

Not sure realistic some of them are, but BTC is a ripe, ripe target ya know.

Okay so I dunno what but if I use a different browser I don't get shunted to the analytics page..

Thanks for the info about the precise file name I didn't realize that.

Any idea what i/o error 218136625 means?

Okay okay I swear I'm not trolling ->

If I am my desktop and point Chrome (desktop PC, not really secure, no BTC here) at that keys.gnupg.net link I get the right info with the ThomasV public key.

If I point my laptop (brand new clean laptop, where I'm trying to install electrum) at that site, I get shunted to something called analytics.sumptuouscapital.com with a plain generic login page and a link to a web analytics company called "matomo"

http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?search=0x6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6&fingerprint=on&op=index

I know this is the right page but it will seriously *not* come up.. 

Ya that one. 

C&P into notepad and save as .asc, import.  Right?

Import that key and it comes up as "Animazing@gmail.com" signed 1/15/2013 with the wrong fingerprint.

Somewhich way the ThomasV key with the fingerprint from here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjYCXOyDy7Y

Also got imported.

But regardless nothing will decode or verify everything returns this i/o error either a generic one or with this code: 218136625

I've tried this on three different computers now on three versions of kleopatra.  I feel like i'm taking crazy pills.

So I'm trying to verify my 3.3.4 installer like a good little bitcoiner and keep running into stupid + weird problems.

Discussing the electrum.org/#download page ->

When I try to grab ThomasV's public key from the top link, I get shunted to some login page for analytics.sumptuouscaptial.com.

When I try to grab ThomasV' public key from the bottom link I get some weird key - in addition to the usual ThomasV key with the verified fingerprint another certificate called "Animazing@gmail.com" comes up with a totally different print.

I'm definitely looking at electrum.org.

When I actually try to decrypt the sig file with the installers, I always get

"Kleopatra: COuld not open file <> for reading: input/output error (218136625)"

I'm getting this result from like 3 versions of Kleopatra including the latest.

What in the world am I doing wrong?
