Thank you all for your quick replies  Cheesy

This one worked for me:
Code:
shasum -a 256 armory_0.92.3_osx.tar.gz

and this
Code:
openssl sha256 armory_0.92.3_osx.tar.gz

just gave me an error
Code:
openssl:Error: 'sha256' is an invalid command

Sorry that my command didn't work. It does work for me. I did notice that I'm running a newer version, so perhaps the command changed somewhere along the way.

Man, I can't wait for the 20 years to past.

To be fair, I've also spent a lot of time both researching this stuff in my spare time and studying it in college and grad school. I can totally understand how the layperson would look at commands that produce what look like gobbledygook and say, "How the hell does this prove anything?" It does. Smiley It's just not immediately apparent, even to people who have a little crypto background.
