I have a mac and I am having trouble verifying the electrum wallet signature. I followed instructions as best as possible according to this post.
I have downloaded the
[email protected] public key issued on June 14th, 2017
Key ID: 0451C3EF
Fingerprint: 2ECD 3D5B 47F6 91C4 D0C7 32EB 4A5A 7F6F 0451 C3EF
I copied all the text on the signature file from the electrum.org site and saved it as: electrum-2.9.2.dmg.asc.txt and then placed it in the same folder as electrum-2.9.2.dmg
the contents of the signature file are:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
then in terminal I exectued the following command:
gpg --verify electrum-2.9.2.dmg.asc.txt electrum-2.9.2.dmg
here is the output i got:
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: the signature could not be verified.
Please remember that the signature file (.sig or .asc)
should be the first file given on the command line.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thank-you in advance
