You should verify that the checksum that is listed matches each of the binaries you actually built.
This may be done on Linux using the `sha256sum` command or on MacOS using `shasum --algorithm 256` for example.
You should verify that this is really the checksum you get on that file you built. You can also look in the gitian.sigs repo and / or [getmonero.org release checksums](https://web.getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt) to see if others got the same checksum for the same version tag. If there is ever a mismatch -- **STOP! Something is wrong**. Contact others on IRC / github to figure out what is going on.
