A new challenge for GeoWizard [1]? :D

You shouldn't be using Telegram if you care about privacy.


And you should comment on-topic or not at all.


More specifically, no one should be using any service that requires (and frequently demands re-confirmation of!) a phone number (excluding commerce sites, bank sites etc).


I am okay with the balance it offers me about usability and privacy. For anything else, I use Threema.


Only https://keyserver.pgp.com performs email verification, the others don't.

See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/15/445


It seems that keyserver.pgp.com won't accept keys with revoked subkeys


Your key is not importable :D

  $ gpg --import stanley.asc
  gpg: CRC error; C68D2A - 29357C
  gpg: read_block: read error: Invalid keyring
  gpg: import from `stanley.asc' failed: Invalid keyring
  gpg: Total number processed: 0
Edit: Your key is way too short.


This was my mistake! It's not too short. I search-and-replaced my h2 tags with h3, which broke the key. Oops.

I've fixed it now.


Now it works, nevertheless it still is (too) short, because you are using a soon-to-be insecure key size:

https://www.gnupg.org/faq/gnupg-faq.html#default_rsa2048

"In 2010, France’s Agence Nationale de la Securite des Systems d’Information stated they had confidence in RSA-2048 until at least 2020."


:( That was the default size suggested to me by gpg.


2048-bit RSA keys are still very common and the least of your worries for quite a while.
