Sorry, I didn't meant to be rude or be offensive towards the AUR, the
AUR is great, but when using things like bitcoin, how can you be safe
that using bitcoin-qt from the AUR is fine?

What Emily suggested, actually building it myself works fine, but is
there anything else I can do in order to verify my binaries if I'm
using someone else's build?
