<p>I've downloaded the "classic" linux bitcoin core 0.19.1 (tgz) on <a href="https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/</a></p>

<p>In the SHA file that's on the website this is the key:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>5fcac9416e486d4960e1a946145566350ca670f9aaba99de6542080851122e4c  bitcoin-0.19.1-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz</p>
</blockquote>

<p>In my terminal, when I do sha256sum filename, I don't get this key.</p>

<p>Also when I run this I get a [FAILED]</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>sha256sum --ignore-missing --check SHA256SUMS.asc</p>
</blockquote>

<p>1) Am I doing this right ?
2) if yes does it mean bitcoincore.org compromised ?</p>

What size is your file?  It should be 31995432 bytes.  When I downloaded it just now, I got the correct checksum, so I would wonder if your download was truncated or otherwise corrupted.

could you try using sha256sum without the check flag and compare the hashes manually? maybe there was a problem with the `asc` file download.
