Debian Verifier
The Debian Verifier script does just that: it downloads a Debian Linux image, its digital signatures and hashes from the official website and verifies that the signature is valid and that the hashes match.
Sharing the dcrd
Sharing a device that stores a digital wallet is only for people who have a trust relationship, regardless of whether they share the dcrd server or not.
Verifying digital signatures: Electrum
Bitcoin and Decred aren’t archenemies. It is very much likely that, at some point, you will exchange resources using this two networks, or will keep balance in both of them for some time.
Digital certificates for RPC connections
Decred components use X509v3 digital certificates for identity validation and to encrypt the communication between them (end-to-end)
How to obtain Decred?
There are a few ways to obtain Decred, from buying to mining. Learn here the steps for those who want to exchange Bitcoin or fiat currency for Decred the easier way.
dcrd as a Linux service
Linux services can be configured to self-heal through init systems, or service managers. Service managers start, restart, and terminate services according to specified commands, dependencies and runlevels.
Installing dcrd
There is more information on dcrd available in the README on Github and in the official documentation of the command line.
This installation is not necessary for those who only want to use Decrediton, because Decrediton has its own internal dcrd.
