TheBlueMatt doesn't have a PGP signing key advertised anywhere prominently that I could see so didn't test that one ....
(I downloaded the bitcoin-build.assert files from github and imported gpg keys of you guys from key server, and directly from linked bitcoin front page)
Is there a special method needed to download/verify these bitcoin-build.assert files or should straight gpg work?
EDIT: okay I was able to get some good signatures ... if anybody else is wondering you need to download both .sig and bitcoin-build.assert files as raw (right click Save As on Raw button) , it seems git must add something even when you use "wget" ... maybe needs a binary ftp or ... ?
Will look like this
$ gpg --verify bitcoin-build.assert.sig
