Verify Binaries
This document and associated scripts are derivations of the approach Bitcoin Core uses (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/edit/master/contrib/verifybinaries).
Preparation:
Make sure you obtain the proper release signing key and verify the fingerprint with several independent sources.
gpg --fingerprint "Brian Hoffman [Open Bazaar] <brian@openbazaar.org>"

uid [ultimate] Brian Hoffman [Open Bazaar] <brian@openbazaar.org>
Usage:
The verifyBinaries.sh script attempts to download the signature file SHA256SUMS.<version>.asc from https://openbazaar.org.
It first checks if the signature passes, and then downloads the files specified in the file, and checks if the hashes of these files match those that are specified in the signature file.
The script returns 0 if everything passes the checks. It returns 1 if either the signature check or the hash check doesn't pass. If an error occurs the return value is 2.
./verifyBinaries.sh 2.0.0
./verifyBinaries.sh 2.0.0-rc1
If you do not want to keep the downloaded binaries, specify anything as the second parameter.
./verifyBinaries.sh 2.0.0 delete
