Hey,
thanks a lot for the instant reply. The first method worked fine for me. The exe file is obviously legit.
Topic: how to verify the electron cash download? (Read 232 times)
If you're on windows if you're using Electron Cash 2.9.4, you can utilize the built in CertUtil commandline utility to check for the SHA1 signatures for matches.
Go here first: https://github.com/fyookball/keys-n-hashes/blob/master/sigs-and-sums/2.9.4/win-linux/SHA1.Electron-Cash-2.9.4.exe.txt
Then perform either of the following:
or
Then compare it with the SHA1 checksum in the above link.
The 2nd command is basically the FIlechecksum integrity verifier tool, which may or may not be available on your windows. If not you can download it from the microsoft's website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11533
Also as another alternative, if you already have 7-zip installed, you'll notice a 'CRC SHA' right click context menu over the exe file that you right click. So what you can do is right click on the exe that you've downloaded, find for CRC SHA, select it and then select SHA1. This should give you the same checksum ID as the one in the link above.

Hi,
since I wasn't successful in finding an answer regarding this matter: can someone please explain to me how I (dumb windows 10 user) verify the electron cash exe I just downloaded? Which programs do I need to verify the download and which code the developers published on github is relevant for me?
Thanks a lot...
