    What is that “(pretty flimsy) verification method” you are referring to ? Keyoxide is basically a web-interface (and accompanying tutorials) for PGP/ASP proofs. If you and your colleage know how, it’s not for you. I do think having a “web-PGP” passport page is easier to share, especially for just non-techy people.

      I mean the whole “put something in your profile/in a post” part that is pretty flimsy.

      Also, non-techy people will not be able to use PGP at all, much less anything building on it that requires understanding of the trust relationships. Hell, even in a tech company we are having a hard time getting people to generate keys every couple of years.

        Hence, the ability to read from a PGP key, profile proofs easily on the internet. It’s for this specific use.
