...or change back to it? The times in the certificates are rather peculiar.



If someone isn't vigilant about these things then the CA system provides no security. The bitcointalk forum would be a useful thing to try to MITM.

Bitmessage.org - Decentralized, trustless, encrypted, authenticated messaging protocol and client.
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Not to nitpick, theymos, but your PGP-signed message isn't specific enough. If this forum were compromised, that message could have been taken from you years ago.

PGP messages contain a timestamp.
