wrightverification VS bitcoincore.org

Multi-sig wallets weren't invented until 3-4 years after the initial release of bitcoin (I can't pin down an exact date, but it was some time in 2012).

Craig claims (or at least, has previously claimed) that he controls an address that is well-known to belong to Satoshi[0]. Turns out, the proof he provided is fake[1]. In my opinion, when you say "I have hard proof, here it is" and it turns out that proof is faked we can throw all the circumstantial evidence out the window.

I’m afraid that fact is strongly disputed by people far smarter than me: https://github.com/patio11/wrightverification

all you really have to do is download Bitcoin Core and run it on whatever computer you already have

> Is it in the Debian repos?

Maybe. Try `apt-get bitcoin-cli`

At least one place is to download from https://bitcoincore.org

As with all binaries outside of package managers that handle signed verification, be sure to verify the signature.

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.

I looked up the SHA256 hashfile of my download and it was not in the list that I found on bitcoincore.org. Is this a faulty software? Or is it just not in the list since I downloaded it from another site?

If you just want a node, go to https://bitcoincore.org, RTFM, download for your machine, and run. That's it!

The actual website for Bitcoin Core is https://bitcoincore.org/ anyways, where it is both available and the most recent version.
