It's probably better if you verify the PGP Signatures with ThomasV's pubkey.

1. Import ThomasV's pubkey:

Code:

gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x2BD5824B7F9470E6

2. Verify if it's imported:

Code:

gpg --fingerprint 0x2BD5824B7F9470E6

3. Download the signature file on the website.

4. Verify with:

Code:

gpg --verify signatureFile.asc electrum-3.3.2-portable.exe

Hey TryNinja, thanks for the reply.

i use a windows system & cant do these commands.
also- i dont want to install additional softwares like gpg4win etc.

what i can do is, use the inbuilt certUtil in Windows cmd to do sha256, sha1, md5 hashes.

it would be truly great, if you please do a quick hash of the file and post below. thanks.

Well, you shouldn't completely trust me, but I did get the hash of my electrum-3.3.2-portable.exe file downloaded from Electrum.org;

SHA256

Code:

22489e88966a9939cf34a94878f7ddf1dad140cce28ebe5339af6212afa611be

Cool! So these matches mine hashes. Thanks.

I dont know why, but a hash search on virus total is showing up scary results (trojans, malware!!)
here is the link:-

It's just a false positive.

The file is even signed by Electrum Technologies GmbH.

my thoughts as well. which server is the official server to connect to?

Just read through this GitHub issue page (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/4968). You will find some valuable information.

Also, as a rule of thumb, do not click on the popup, in case one appears. The latest version is Electrum 3.3.2, stick to it whatsoever for now.

[gizmobuddy]

thanks guys. love you all.

my thoughts as well. which server is the official server to connect to?

There is no "official" server... there are just "public" servers available, that anyone is free to setup and run... If you are attempting to avoid the Electrum "fake error message" attack, it doesn't matter which server you connect to, they can't hack your wallet unless you download the fake version of Electrum.

According to the above posts, your version of Electrum is legit, so just connect to any Electrum server and try to send your transaction. If you get the fake error message:


IGNORE IT... DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK!

Then go and change the server to something else and try again.

how do i know, i am not connected to an attackers server? i have selected Auto connect.

how do i know, i am not connected to an attackers server? i have selected Auto connect.

From the main issue, those are the malicious servers (there could be others):

Code:

You can see in which server you are by going to Tools -> Network.

[gizmobuddy]

so i need to be watching out for these servers. is it humanly possible to be constantly on watchout while being on Auto connect??!!

i thought electrum would be easy. guess i was wrong.

You could just select a trusted server instead of using Auto connect.

AFAIK all the server could do is block you from sending transactions (by giving it the error) and show that fake message.

[gizmobuddy]

what if they are brewing an advanced attack!

is there a list of honest servers i can manually connect to?

[gizmobuddy]

how is it not already sorted? i guess, electrum is the one of the oldest wallet out there.

this is scary. does anybody know how to find honest servers?

Fixing things "properly" takes time... the worst thing the devs could do is rush a "fix" that hasn't been properly tested that then turns out to make things worse!

There is no danger if you do not download and run the malicious software.

If you connect to a server and it comes up with the error... connect to a different server. At worst all they can do is log your IP and addresses... but ANY Electrum server can already do this. They can't steal your BTC just by connecting to a "bad" server.

electrum.hsmiths.com is one of the "oldest" Electrum servers that I know of... whether or not it is any more trustworthy than any other Electrum server, I have no way of knowing/confirming.

Just pick one from the server list that IS NOT in the list posted above...

[gizmobuddy]

got it. thanks.

any other server guys?
