Prior to the election insurance files were put out, the codes that accompanied were pre-commitment encryption hashes that are supposed to indicate if the contents of the files were tampered with (the resulting hash from a tampered file would be different). The encryption keys haven't been released to anything. There was also a mysterious hash tweeted out by Snowden, but I haven't heard a single thing of it since.
Yes, the files were put out with the understanding that there was a deadman's switch set to go off if whoever was in control of the release could no longer keep sending the all clear signal and as a result send out the keys to the unredacted files. So far, that hasn't happened, despite all the speculation that Assange has been compromised. The codes that accompanied them were to ensure that the unencrypted files, if the deadman switch were to go off and they were to be revealed, were not tampered with- because if they were, they would have a different hash.
I don't think they have. One of the wiki operatives said in order to release the encrypted files/dead man files, he had to travel somewhere and was not able to travel there. But if Asange isn't dead then they wouldn't release them.

I call BULLSHIT! This feels like a government psyop to keep people quiet.

Agreed, this is dodgy out, feel certain Assange is dead now, fuck these cunts raping the innocent and silence our most courageous heroes

He's not dead until the dead man switch is activated. That's the whole fucking point of a dead man switch.

We've allowed those in power to continue their horrific agenda. As cliché as this may sound. Julian Assange died for our sins.

This is definitely a joke/psyops. The dead man's keys are out there. Look at my top submission.

I remember the codes/keys being released before the election. But the actual leaks that need decoding have not been released. Right??

Ohhhh. Ok. So I had it backwards then. The files were put out with some codes to verify the files. The keys to unlock the files have not been put out.
In simple terms, Is that right?
I'm not well versed with computer talk ;)

At least that is my understanding of it.

I have no fucking idea anymore.

I don't know. Lol. No one really knows

Most elaborate faking of death in the world if he is actually alive. I am so fucking doubtful.
