well there's this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0 I post my gpg keys there.
Sounds reasonable. Will post and lock. Maybe will start a trend.
Could still be altered if account is compromised.

I'm a big fan of this idea, with account selling this would help to make sure the person is who you think it is.

I was wondering if we could have an automatically locked subforum somewhere just for PGP key lookups. Putting it in a sig is largely worthless if an account is compromised.

If someone, say, asks for a loan, I may trust the person I knew the account-holder as, but I no longer automatically trust the person posting is the poster I knew.

Though, then the risk is the unpublished sale of an account along with PGP privkey and email account... but it's still a solid extra bit of defense, I'd think.

Ideally, we'd be able to post and lock a PGP key to our account, similar to how Skype, IRC handles, and email addresses can be tied to an account and show as a little button on forum posts (though there'd need to be some type of significant time lock for a change of displayed key to go through, or maybe some type of 2FA).
