Hmm. Perhaps I need to try again.

How do each of you feel about the fact that it is impossible to verify that Bitcoin 0.9.3 is an official build, and therefore unlikely to have a backdoor that allows some nefarious party to steal your bitcoins?

Or, if there is a way to verify this, how does one do so?

Not sure what you mean. There's file signature hashes published at https://bitcoin.org/en/download . That file is signed with Wladimirs key.

Near as I can tell, 'Wladimir's key' is unverifiable as being Wladimir's key. Perhaps I am doing it wrong, but this is what I see:

Code:
host:dirname username$ gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc 
gpg: Signature made Mon Sep 29 08:44:14 2014 MDT using RSA key ID 2346C9A6
gpg: requesting key 2346C9A6 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
gpg: key 2346C9A6: public key "Wladimir J. van der Laan " imported
gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model
gpg: depth: 0  valid:   2  signed:   0  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 2u
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2015-08-18
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
gpg: Good signature from "Wladimir J. van der Laan "
gpg:                 aka "Wladimir J. van der Laan "
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 71A3 B167 3540 5025 D447  E8F2 7481 0B01 2346 C9A6

Thanks for sharing & Great work Developpers !
Could anyone please tell me what to do to save Private keys ? I don't see it in the GUI (Windows) , Console command maybe ? thanks

Are you trying to backup your private keys? If so, you should just backup the whole wallet by clicking File -> Backup Wallet

I should only take this backup once at lifetime ? or Take it like one a day , or once a week ?

Roughly every 50 tx.

Alright , thanks for the answer dude , but I barely make that amount of transactions anyway Grin

Am I the only one that finds it odd that there seems to be no way to verify the provenance of the Mac OS X version?

What do you mean? Verify the origin of the installer file?

Yes - one is unable to verify the PGP signature of the distributed file. Unless I am doing it wrong.
