install bitcoin core qt wallet as clearly stated by satoshi nakamoto https://bitcoin.org/en/download

I just downloaded bitcoin core but cannot figure out how to verify it before i begin running it. It shows there are keys on this site https://bitcoin.org/en/download but there are really no instructions for how to complete this process on this site https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#windows-10 not much help for beginners. I've been trying to dig for resources and one place said keys are here? https://github.com/bitcoin-core/guix.sigs/tree/main/builder-keys

You found the problem. https://bitcoin.org/en/download hasn't updated to the latest version.

Full node will let you query all the way back to the first blocks where satoshi put his famous first inscription "Chancellor of Finance announces 2nd bailout for the banks" or something liek that: https://bitcoin.org/en/download

The good news is that these can definitely be imported into Bitcoin Core, or swept into an Electrum wallet, and there's a chance that all, or at least some, of your bitcoin are held in that one address, so it's worth giving it a shot.

Dude download bitcoin core https://bitcoin.org/en/download and hold your own coins this is the ledger. You will own your own bitcoin.

Okay fastest and cheapest way contact your local miners…. Being honest go to your local miners and ask them. This gets around CEXs. Also download bitcoin core. https://bitcoin.org/en/download. Download this to a 1tb flash drive. Do not create a bitcoin wallet. When this is complete go buy a cheap laptop and this is going to be your offline network. Hook up the flash drive and create your wallet offline to the new laptop. Transfer the files. While doing this you are going to create two copy’s of your wallet. One offline and one online. When you contact the miners you will transcribe your wallet address. While that’s going on your bank has already arranged for funds to transfer from credit to the miners. Once the miners receive funds you while be sent the bitcoin. On your online laptop open up bitcoin core. Once you see your funds update the ledger. Unplug your flash drive and upload the flash drive to the offline network. You should see your bitcoin (:

The Bitcoin Core download page states:

Get a non-custodial wallet: This is where you start to believe you really have Bitcoin, but it is still not perfect. A non-custodial wallet (like BlueWallet) is one of the slow types of Bitcoin wallets (on-chain) but this is where I think you, as a inquisitive mind, should start. Others will start with lightning wallets so they can buy beer right away. BlueWalllet has you create a "wallet" and gives you "seed words" to write down and keep safe. This is private. Do not take pictures of it, screenshots of it, and do not save it to a digital file. Paper is really easy and there's no risk of undiscovered malware being able to see what you write on paper. You'll very quickly learn the lingo: "wallet", "addresses", "utxo", etc. When you receive funds, the wallet will show you your balance like Coinbase does, but it will also show you a "transaction id". This, you can use to check that your transaction is real by checking a blockchain explorer like "https://mempool.space" or "https://bitcoinexplorer.org/". You are now able to check multiple sources, increasing your belief that the Bitcoin is real.

- Bitcoinexplorer.org https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer (lang: nodejs, db: none) I would like to prioritize practical issues such as displaying fees and general ease of use for viewing transaction details, these are the topics of discussion. I am looking forward to your opinions.

I'm not aware of a desktop explorer, but it probably wouldn't be as advanced as something like https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer

BitcoinExplorer — https://bitcoinexplorer.org/

It depends what you're running. Raspiblitz, for example, allows you to use btc rpc explorer (https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer) and mempool (https://github.com/mempool/mempool) quite easily.
