Topic: Have you ever compiled Electrum from source code and check its hash with the rel (Read 273 times)

No. For desktop, i'd rather install from source code directly rather than create appimage or tar file which involve docker and longer waiting time.

EDIT: I've checked walletscrutiny and apparently, they didn't get a match after trying to compile it either.
Back then this was right but Electrum for Android turned reproducible meanwhile.

I compiled a Windows version a long time ago... but I never compared hashes as I think it may have been before the builds were considered "reproducible"... or, more likely, I was just lazy and didn't bother checking!

I also compiled android version but result was different (because of sign)

Not sure about the desktop wallet, but for the android version, that's not possible yet:

Code:
This script does not produce reproducible output(yet!). Please help us remedy this.

the good thing about deterministic or reproducible builds is that anybody can compile the code and then compare the result with what the developers had released as compiled version.
i have found that only a handful of wallets do this (bitcoin core, Electrum, Wasabi and Mycelium).
i am wondering whether anybody is performing this check for Electrum releases?
