PGP key

[ticoti]

I recommend you Keybase.io , I have got an invite today, and it is much more simple than using the computer programs, Actually I haven't got to sign a message with pgp with my computer but now with keybase.io I have done it really easy

I finally made one  . Now I don't know what should I do with it.

I saw some threads where people had their public key posted but I can't find the sub-forum for it now.

Any advices as to where should I post it?

The thread you are talking about is over at meta "stake your bitcoin address"

Both of you seriously need to start reading the thread before posting and not just the title and maybe the OP. It's not so difficult, just try the next time.

I wish it was that easy mate. I already installed Bash and Curl yesterday and tried the 3rd method but nothing happens. I am also not on Ubuntu I use a different distro altogether and things aren't as easy in it as they're in Ubuntu.

But thanks for putting up the time and effort in finding me a solution. Really appreciate it.

I think I have to do it on windows because I am guessing the script they ask to run in the terminal is for windows. But then I have to move my PGP key there for it to work which is why I am trying to find a way to accomplish it over linux.

Can you tell me what it shows and which distro you are using?

Note that you need to run Debian and its derivates(for example, Ubuntu) to run apt-get. So if you are on CentOS or fedora, you need to run yum and if you are on other distro, you have to compile it yourself.

ps. apt-get update is not enough. You need to do apt-get upgrade too. (Update just fetchs the update from APT repository and upgrade installs them.)

It doesn't shows anything but it does shows some script errors.

I use alphaOS but don't worry I'll figure it out, I just have to put more mind into it, which I currently feel a bit lazy to do or else I'll ask some of my linux expert pals.

PGP is like your ID

people will cross reference it to your public key and stuff like that.
Show them a signed message every time you send something to let them'
know that it's you and you sent it from that computer.

  Thanks for all the suggestions, Locking this down.
