PGP signature for release of Bitcoin QT

[figmentofmyass]

does anyone know where i might find the proper release signatures for Bitcoin QT?

when i go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.5/ to download the latest QT update and verify signature against http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.5/SHA256SUMS.asc/view, the .asc file listed will not import into gpg4win/Kleopatra. does anyone know why? does the file need to be altered in some way? am i looking at the wrong thing entirely -- i just saw .asc and assumed this would be the signature to check against.

it doesn't list a fingerprint and user id, so i thought maybe i am looking at the wrong file..... if not, there is no fingerprint to verify against? 

i had just figured out how to verify signatures and thought this would be straight forward. this stuff is way over my head....

thanks in advance for any help!!!

SHA256SUMS.asc isn't a normal file signature. Open it in a text editor, copy the contents, and tell Kleopatra to verify it.

how do i tell Kleopatra to verify it? it will only accept .asc, .cer, .cert, .gpg etc. how do i format it so it will be imported?

i hate being such a noob

- Open it in a text editor (like Notepad)
- Select all of the text. Right click it. Copy.
- Right click the Kleopatra icon in your system tray (lower right).
- Choose Clipboard -> Decrypt/verify.
- It will probably tell you that it's not valid because it doesn't know the public key. That's a different issue...

haha doh, i forgot that's why i posted in the first place. i need the public key to verify the signature against.

so yeah, "The signature is invalid. No public certificate to verify the signature."

so presumably this would have been released/signed by bitcoin dev team. does anyone know where i can find their public keys?
