GPG prints a confusion warning: “This key is not certified with a trusted signature!” - See https://serverfault.com/questions/569911/how-to-verify-an-imported-gpg-key for background information what it means.
How to verify signatures?
gpg --digest-algo SHA256 --verify BINARY{.asc*,}
Replace BINARY with the file you downloaded (e.g. Bisq-0.8.1.dmg)
Verify jar file inside binary:
You can verify on OSX the jar file with:
shasum -a256 [PATH TO BISQ APP]/Bisq.app/Contents/Java/Bisq-0.8.1.jar
The output need to match the value from the Bisq-0.8.1.jar.txt file.
Hint for Debian users:
If you have problems starting Bisq on Debian use: /opt/Bisq/Bisq
If your Linux distro does not support .deb files please follow this instruction:
cd ~/Downloads
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
ar x ../Bisq-64bit-0.8.1.deb
sudo tar Jxvf data.tar.xz
sudo cp -rp opt/Bisq /opt/
That instruction is not tested on many different distros. If you encounter problems please report it in a Github issue so we can improve it.
