I meant faster for the newbies who want to verify their executables. I don't know about the others but when I firstly verified electrum using this tutorial, I wasn't completely sure of what I was doing. I was feeling secure with the replies and with the greatly described steps, but I considered the method kinda complex. To be honest, I wasn't into anything related with Bitcoin a year ago, as you can see in the first page of this thread, so this is maybe why. 

Or I may simply have this weirdly paranoid symptom in which you want to understand every-single-thing you're doing, on a disgustingly detailed way, such as understanding the maths behind RSA/ECC. Anyway. Signed checksums might had a shorter tutorial than this one. Although, you're explaining everything perfectly.

While, they may prefer not to do this with the checksum-way, I personally find it ridiculous for them to justify it with the collisions. Despite the fact that it's never going to happen you're essentially failing the function your entire project relies on. It's ironic...
