I'm using Ubuntu, here what I have done:

wget https[Suspicious link removed].asc
wget https[Suspicious link removed]

Following a post from reddit
I did

gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 7F9470E6
gpg: requesting key 7F9470E6 from hkp server pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: key 7F9470E6: "Thomas Voegtlin (https://electrum.org) <thomasv@electrum.org>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1

gpg --fingerprint

gpg --verify electrum-2.1.1.exe.asc electrum-2.1.1.exe
gpg: Signature made Fri 24 Apr 2015 03:52:59 PM MDT using RSA key ID 695506FD
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

So what should I do next ? Thank

tl;rl
1.sudo gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x2BD5824B7F9470E6
2.sudo gpg --fingerprint 0x2BD5824B7F9470E6
3.sudo gpg --verify Electrum-3.0.3.tar.gz.asc Electrum-3.0.3.tar.gz
are the full and correct steps to verify electrum bitcoin wallet for all those searching to verify but find nothing accurate.

-0x2BD5824B7F9470E6 comes from https://electrum.org/#download - look for ThomasV. link top of page friends
-ensure the tar.gz and the .asc are both in the folder where you execute commandline syntax above
gpg: Good signature from "Thomas Voegtlin should be displayed after step 3. if not then do more due diligence.

I agree it is a crying shame help is not more forthcoming from experienced users, here, nor on reddit. We appreciate ThomasV. for his contribution and dont expect him to field newbie questions - that is where the community is supposed to step up. perhaps the donation requirement for post replies, or the negative experiences of experienced users have had but as a community bitcoin should stop pumping and return to its roots as a community that TRIES to help.
