GnuPG.
Just what I'm looking for. Thanks.

... Too bad they only accept CC and Paypal for donation. Time to email them about bitcoin donations.

That's the windows implementation of GnuPG, so same program Grin
Well, I once used keybase.io, but I felt unsecure storing private key there.

With a single sentence hiding in the paragraph, it's not obvious enough. The Wau Holland Stiftung site linked is way too many hops and too far removed from the original PnuPG donation.

Someone like me skims past and goes directly to the donation form, if I don't see it there, then it is a missed opportunity for GnuPG.

The most obvious solution is to just post a bitcoin QR code on/near the donation form. I'm going to have to contact them about that.

You can try get some keybase invites. I think MZ has some.

Keybase.io is an online PGP service which allows you to sign messages, verify messages with signatures and encrypt and decrypt messages.

I didn't think about that, good point.

I have account there, have 3 invites, but I don't use keybase.io as you have to store private keys. (If someone wants invite, feel free to PM me)

EDIT: I need your email address to send keybase.io invitation,  if you do not wish to provide email address, do not send PM.

Well, I once used keybase.io, but I felt unsecure storing private key there.

It's safe and you should encrypt your PGP key before uploading. Typically a password like G@ra# would be better instead of garage. I think you got the point. See about the decryption of PGP key in Keybase : https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/1401.

You can try get some keybase invites. I think MZ has some.

Yup, I still have 6 invitation. See keybase.io/kzm279 to check whether I have invitations.

See above link. BTW, there is a mistake. You don't really want to store your encrypted PGP key in Keybase, you can use their local CMD program but you will have to install a PGP software first, GnuPG recommended. Without hosting private key, Keybase will help your clients to verify or encrypt messages but won't help us.

Well, hosting pubkey should be enough for 'encrypt' and 'verify' for other users - 'decrypt' and 'sign' is the thing that can only be done with privkey.

Believe these should be trusted and free:

http://www.gpg4win.org/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppgp/

http://www.goanywheremft.com/products/openpgp-studio/download

https://www.gnupg.org/download/

Can't go wrong with any of these.
