#[0] My windows install of gossip was updated to 0.5.3 but won't launch because you're not signing the releases, but the 0.5.3 release isn't up on github.

There is no 0.5.3 release.

It works for me without being signed. I don't know why it doesn't work for you.

In order to sign the release I have to

* Learn what these four things are (which in my mind I have no idea how they differentiate or relate): a burn bundle, a cabinet, a package, an MSI. And the documentation is terrible.

* Then I have to install more tooling and more fragile setup crap.

* I will have to maintain an identity somewhere. My windows computer is explicitly insecure, I take NO effort to secure it, it is for low-value stuff only.

IMHO windows is not worth it. Can you upgrade to Linux or MacOS?

It works for me when I run the MSI manually and tell it to go ahead anyway, but I presume it has an update feature because occasionally it stops launching because the binary has changed.

Because the 'new version' wasn't on github, I checked the installed programs list and see its 0.5.3 so something did update the program and change the binary.

Perhaps the auto-update feature can be disabled on Windows, if it's not going to be signed because it stops working if the binary changes.

I don't know where this 0.5.3 version came from, if there is no 0.5.3 release or auto-updater.

I haven't run it successfully or decrypted my key with it, so I'm probably ok, but something changed the install on Windows without my input.
