00:02:31 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> I did a search of my Home Directory and found "hashes.txt" and "hashes.txt1" there. Would I need to move these to the "Downloads" directory in order to do the verification before installing the Monero wallet?
00:11:51 <jpk68> No, it doesn't matter where the file is
00:13:03 <jpk68> You just run 'gpg --verify hashes.txt' after verifying/importing binaryFate's GPG key
00:14:39 <jpk68> And then make sure the sha256sum is the same as the one listed for your downloaded binary
00:17:01 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> I just did a search in my Downloads directory and found the hashes.txt folder there as well. I guess I am good to go on doing the verification now. This "403" error sure caused a problem for me. I must get this straightened out and am checking with my VPN provider. I am also going to looking into the browsers I have been using. In the past I used primarily Firefox and occasionally<clipped message>
00:17:02 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org>  Brave. I rarely use Chrome because I do not trust Google. I only have it because some sites I have encountered require Chrome. I am thinking about just using the Tor browser for my Bitcoin and Monero activities. Depending upon what I learn form my VPN provider I may have to deactivate it in some cases, ie, this experience tith hetting these hashes.txt files.
00:18:15 <jpk68> The issue with getting the hashes is not a problem on your end. Many people have been blocked from the site
00:18:38 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> OK, that really helps. Thanks!!!
00:18:46 <jpk68> Your VPN provider will not be able to do anything, unfortunately
00:19:01 <jpk68> neospal2: You're welcome :)
