Electrum authenticity verification

[BlueTopaz]

how can i verify the file "Electrum-LTC-2.6.4.2.tar.gz" downloaded from electrum-ltc.org ?
its sha256sum is only listed on the site itself and nowhere else on the web.

The sha256sum file is signed with the devs pgp key.

It's unlikely that Electrum ltc releases are signed by ThomasV. It is a fork designed to support litecoin.

@BlueTopaz: You can see links to community forums for electrum LTC on their homepage:

https://electrum-ltc.org/#three

I suggest consulting people there if you need help. This forum here is for Electrum BTC.

Electrum-ltc (https://github.com/pooler/electrum-ltc) is signed by its developers pooler (https://github.com/pooler) and here is where you can get his key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x6FC4C9F7F1BE8FEA also found on the official website.
