RE: GridCoin full and test node + blockchain snapshot downloads
Great to have more sources for the downloads. But more security is needed. Have you found checksum available somewhere on the gridcoin website? I am afraid it does not exist and that is a fault of site admins.
Next, please do NOT use MD5, instead provide a sha256 hashes.
Third, please join the slack channel and arrange with web maintainers some links there and forth. I will page someone to allow you join.
As for security, thanks for the advice. I'll double check everything and correct signatures. Current md5 is performed by myself using md5sum filename since i was unable to find any signature on the uscore website. I will have this corrected. As for the slack, i am unable to join. If channel owner can manually allow, my email is stefan at certic dot info
I'll get to correct the points mentioned as a first thing in the morning especially when it comes to security. For now, threat this as "work in progress" and not something we should rely on until we confirm everything on slack.
Thanks for hint and advices!
That is fine. Situation with signatures and checksumming is not very good and I can't do anything about it.
You just replace md5sum with sha256sum.
Done accordingly.
