gitian.sigs VS Bitcoin.org

Here's a bunch of developer gitian sigs on that build https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gitian.sigs/tree/master/0.21.1-win-unsigned The windows code signing thing is just a centralized process. My understanding is that the cert was revoked by accident by the provider when the devs asked to renew it. It's just a dumb process that doesn't mean a whole lot when it comes to what code you trust

The CA improperly revoked the certificate in response to a renewal request and back dated the revocation and are refusing to issue a new certificate (my understanding and that the CA now believes open source collaborations aren't eligible for code signing certs...)

The releases are still PGP signed by an official project key which has been in use for many years and is cross signed by many parties, as well as by another 16 parties that independent reproduced the binaries through the deterministic build process: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gitian.sigs/tree/master/0.21...

By comparison, the windows code signing provides relatively little security assurance. Not too dissimilar from the HTTPS used on the download site. It, like the https, does have the advantage that it is widely checked while many users don't bother checking the actual release signatures.

thanks, bitcoin.org

According to bitcoin.org, these are the instructions when encountering an error running Core for the first time:

Besides, the ARM version must have worked for me before because that's what I downloaded from the bitcoin.org download page when I installed 22.0

Research Online: Start by exploring reputable online resources dedicated to cryptocurrency. Websites, blogs, and forums such as CoinMarketCap, CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, and Open source P2P money provide comprehensive information, news, and educational content about cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and related topics.

The level of security you employ should correlate with the amount of BTC you have. Would you leave your US dollars on Cashapp? If so you are probably fine leaving a little BTC on there. But long term your best option is cold storage, either buy a device (like Ledger NanoX) for $50-$100, or go to bitcoin.org and download the Bitcoin Core GUI, where you can create your own cold storage wallet. You can generate your own seed phrase with no third parties or extra costs.

Hello, I downloaded bitcoin core 25 from bitcoincore.org, but the only instructions I could find relating to the installation of the bitcoin daemon was on bitcoin.org (which seems to only offer up to bitcoin 22).

But if you check the link they posted, that's bitcoincore.org, not bitcoin.org That link is also the site that Bitcoin core on the releases page will link to as well.

So I got a 200 dollar prepaid gift card at the supermarket to put into bitcoin to buy something and it seems impossible for any processor to accept it, bitcoin.org doesn't work and i've tried a bunch of other sites and nothing works. So how do you get bitcoin out of a prepaid gift card (mastercard)? I put 5 dollars into steam just to make sure the card isnt broken or something and it worked fine

What gives? What is offered at bitcoin.org is a download of Bitcoin Core 22.0...
