It's a pretty big pain in the ass the first time you learn it... (this assumes you aren't already registered on OTC)
1) Get GPG.
->If you have Windows:
Download GPG4Win, and generate a new key (ctrl+n). Skip to step three.
(2)
If you have Linux:
Code:
$ gpg --gen-key
When it asks for a keysize, choose the biggest one.
(3)
If you have Linux:
Code:
$ gpg --list-keys --keyid-format long
pub 4096R/<key id here> 2012-05-05
$ gpg --send-keys --keyserver pgp.mit.edu <key id here>
$ gpg --send-keys --keyserver subset.pool.sks-keyservers.net <key id here>
The key id should be 16 hexadecimal digits.
If you have Windows:
Right-click the new key and click "Export to key server," enter "pgp.mit.edu" for the URL.
(4) Go on #bitcoin-otc through
http://webchat.freenode.net(5) Talk to gribble (query him on IRC while in #bitcoin-otc):
Code:
;;register <your username> <key id>
(6) Gribble will now give you a long string. It looks like "freenode:#bitcoin-otc:bf5421807229cb867e710b91155d42ad2f166aa3db28f699de7b2536".
If you have Linux:
Code:
$ gpg --clearsign
Type password
Paste string
Press enter, then control-D
Paste the part that starts with "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----" into pastebin
Click "RAW," next to "DOWNLOAD" in the top, under "BY: A GUEST."
Give the link to the raw file to gribble:
Code:
;;verify
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=<something>
If you have Windows:
Use the command line, you should be able to do the same thing as above. However, in place of gpg --clearsign, type "echo gpg --clearsign > gpg.out", then upload the contents of gpg.out to pastebin.
(6) You need a rating before you can give a rating.
(7) If you want to give me, or anyone else, a rating:
Code:
;;auth <your username>
Clearsign the message and upload to pastebin.
Code:
;;verify <yet another pastebin link>
;;rate bdk_kluge 10 he is awesome and stole inau's tutorial
