⚠️ Stop immediately if a bot installer asks for elevated admin privileges from an unverified source. Protecting your capital means treating every piece of automated software like physical cash—verification is non-negotiable.

Here is your essential checklist for ensuring any trading bot you download is legitimate:

1. 🔗 **Source Check:** Only download from the official GitHub repository or designated community website. Files from random blogs or DMs are unverified.
2. 🔢 **Integrity Check:** Compare the downloaded installer's SHA-256 digest against the digest published by the maintainers in the official release notes. Mismatch? Do not install.
3. 🔑 **Advanced Security:** Technically inclined users can verify the cryptographic signature using the project's public key to confirm the builder's identity.
4. 🚩 **Watch Out For:** Be wary of mismatched digests, unexpected download sources, or any request for elevated admin privileges from unverified locations.

Transparency is key to safe self-hosting. Following these steps ensures what you run is exactly what the developers intended.
