Hi marcotheminer, depends on which OS you use, in Debian and Ubuntu you can use GnuPG for example, for Windows PGPi .

Thanks for the replies. What's keybase.io?

A way to exchange the public keys. I dont think there is a service that keeps your private keys. The idea behind PGP is that only you have your private key and no one else.

i used:    https://keyserver.pgp.com/  
 or          http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/  

but theres a lot of similar services..

Keybase.io is a centralized GPG public key repository - it stores public key, provide option to

• store private key in encrypted form so you can do decrypt/sign messages on web(really optional, I discourage this - think of you storing your bitcoin private key on a service like coinbase)
• lookup others' key and encrypt with their public key
• verify others' signed messages which message is signed with the key stored on keybase.io

I'd recommend just use decentralized SKS keyservers - just use "gpg --send-key (KEYID)" on a terminal (assuming you are on GNU/Linux) and it's all set.

ps. If someone wants Keybase.io invitations, feel free to send me a PM after reading this.
