If you have GnuPG installed just open up a command prompt, type gpg , paste the encrypted message, enter your password and press enter, then press Ctrl-Z to signal end-of-input to gpg. The authentication string will now be printed, and you can go everify with gribble. HTH. Smiley

theymos, your instructions are for the old system, the new "eauth/everify" does not require a pastebin.

Install Gpg4win:
http://www.gpg4win.org/

This comes with a program called Kleopatra, which you should run. It's a good graphical interface to GPG, so you don't have to use the command line.

Copy the challenge string that gribble gives you, right click on Kleopatra's icon in the system tray, and click "Clipboard"->"OpenPGP-Sign". Then click "next" after choosing your key (probably it will already be correct). You will be prompted for your password. After entering it, the text in your clipboard will be changed to a signed version. So when you next paste text, you'll get the "PGP SIGNED MESSAGE" stuff. Upload this somewhere (Pastebin, for example) and give gribble the link.

This has been an absolute nightmare, and especially the authentication part with the bot on the PGP key exchange.

Basically the explanation here: http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/GPG_authentication is completely worthless when it comes to Windows authentication.

I have done the following: ;;gpg eregister BobJones 81898844A1BF37D6

From this point on nothing works. I go to the provided url and see the path of the key and the one time password. From here on it doesnt make any sense what so ever on what I do with this data, how I decrypt it, how I respond back to the bot and in what manner.

Also there is no clear explanation of registration and authentication and if that is one and the same thing or not. So after having uploaded my key to MIT and the bot gets the eregister command which works, nothing more makes sense. Hope someone can help me out here. Step by step please, its easy once you know it, but first time is a nightmare.
