Re: [bitcoin-dev] New Bitcoin Core macOS signing key

[Cory Fields <lists@coryfields.com>]

A public key was published recently for future macOS releases. Sadly,
that key was created the wrong way (iPhone OS instead of macOS), so
another had to be generated.

The new, working pubkey for Bitcoin Core releases starting with
0.16.0rc1 is included in the message below. That message is signed
with the key mentioned in the previous mail.
It can be verified with: openssl smime -verify -noverify -in msg.pem

Sorry for the noise.
