Oh, I see. Yes, that would actually be very helpful and much appreciated. I would trust an ISO provided by you, but only in a locked up VM

Lol, just kidding. You've developed an honorable reputation here, and I wouldn't hesitate to play around with a binary furnished by you. I do trust that you know what you're doing, so your skill level wouldn't be an issue at all.
I agree it's always best for one to learn how to ensure his own safety, security, and privacy. Being able to compile binaries straight off the trunk is a good way to verify the checksums of various apps that are developed by folks for whom I have yet to develop trust. I don't bother with Electrum or Core, but somethings are just worth the extra care.
