Title: Where to post PGP key (esp for newbies)?
Post by: brandtrian on January 23, 2013, 07:04 pm
Hey all,

Got my PGP public key, but need to pop it somewhere so I can link to it in messages etc.
Is there a host on the Tor network for keys? It'd be nicer than having to link to a forum thread.
Or is there a place on the forum a newbie can post their keys (can't use the regular key thread due to <50 posts)...
Perhaps I should just start a thread just for my key and use that?

As far as I know there isn't a website for public keys to be posted, most people just post in the PGP club (newbie PGP club in this case) and link to their post. At the end of the day everyone can still see it so it isn't too much hassle, but the downside is having a long forum URL.

Hmm okay, newbie PGP club I guess it is.
It would be a lot easier though if there was a host somewhere to store .pgp / .gpg keyfiles - most PGP clients prefer the keys as files.
It's a pain having to copy/paste someone's key into a textfile, then import to PGP app..

I'm surprised there's not a proper keyserver somewhere on Tor. Is there a downside to posting your key to a public clearnet keyserver?

Thanks for the response too!
