Verify Electrum Flatpak

Open xmready opened this issue 10 months ago • 5 comments

There is an unverified flatpak of electrum maintained by @A6GibKm

It would be good for the upstream devs to collaborate and help verify and maintain this flatpak. There is an issue raised in that repo asking for verification, and the maintainer suggested the issue is raised upstream.

Here is the information on transferring ownership of flatpaks published by someone other than the original creators.

Just to reiterate, that flatpak is "unofficial", and is not maintained by us. There is an official appimage though.

note: according to https://flathub.org/apps/org.electrum.electrum, this flatpak has 36k "installs" (as of now) That is quite a lot...

Out of curiosity, are there statistics for any other distribution method that can be made public?

The android version on Google Play is installed atm on 152k "active devices". (edit: corrected prev statistics that I misunderstood, 85k is the subset size of devices already on latest version)

I am fully aware that it is not maintained by you. This issue intends to push for verification. The high usage of the Electrum Flatpak and the continuing popularity of Flatpaks warrants taking steps to collaborate and verify on Flathub for safety and assurance.

I prefer Flatpaks over appimages because they keep themselves up to date and integrate with Gnome and other DEs
