Please make a proper PKGBUILD, don't skip SHA sums, and adhere to the default installation settings.
This is a giant mess of nothing I can use, which is both annoying given Binance is a billion-dollar company and can't hire a person who can make a minimal, proper PKGBUILD; and just plain weird.
In fact, just pack the application with something supported for Arch Linux instead of trying to hack it. What disgrace Binance is putting on itself.
FYI I had to make a symink : sudo ln -s /opt/Binance/binance /usr/bin/binance to be able to launch binance on my system configuration.
Is there a way to fix the checksum pb in PKGBUILD without to have to hard code it every time it changed ?
take the checksum w/ this : wget https://ftp.binance.com/electron-desktop/linux/production/binance-amd64-linux-deb-sha256.txt
sha256sums=('8a99544b0db91277522ebd6773db7005e8c7a3e1a3127c633b7cd9f5da37c84c') in PKGBUILD

Binance don't version their binaries. They simply replace the binance-amd64-linux.deb with a newer version. This means you will correctly receive a validity check error as the deb file no longer matches with the SHA sum.
Please confirm the latest Binance version and then mark this package as out of date.
Unless Binance change their release strategy or someone can come up with a clever solution, it is what it is.
