I downloaded the newest model of Core on my Mac and I am caught on step 7 of the verification directions on the Bitcoin Core web site:
7. Bitcoin releases are signed by a variety of people, every with a singular public key. With a purpose to acknowledge the validity of signatures, it’s essential to use GPG to load these public keys regionally. You will discover many developer keys listed within the bitcoin-core/guix.sigs repository, which you’ll be able to then load into your GPG key database.
For instance, you might load the important thing builder-keys/fanquake.gpg by downloading the file as fanquake.gpg and utilizing this command:
gpg –import fanquake.gpg
The output of the command above ought to say that one key was imported, up to date, has new signatures, or remained unchanged.
I’ve downloaded GPG Keychain, downloaded some .gpg information from the hyperlink above and opened them into GPG Keychain. However which of them I select, easy methods to confirm, and many others. simply hasn’t clicked.
In just a few instances I matched the Fingerprint of a developer in GPG Keychain to the Fingerprint they posted on their web site or social media web page. Is that verifying appropriately, although?
And is the ultimate step on this part getting into “gpg –import fanquake.gpg” (or the title of the file) into my Terminal to confirm? If that is the case, I am nonetheless undecided what to confirm after getting into the command.
Thanks.
