Four more submissions:
1) Bitcoindream(provides escrow)
2) Blazr(also an escrow):
My PGP Key:All important message I send, especially ones that include Bitcoin address, will be signed by my PGP key. A PGP key is like a digital passport that lets you verify a persons identity. It prevents an imposter or hacker from pretending to be me and also prevents someone tampering with my messages. Additionally you can use this to send me encrypted messages should you need to send me private information.
It is your responsibility to verify that the messages are actually signed by me. To do this, you will to install gnupg. Gnupg is preinstalled on most Linux/Mac systems, and gnupg4win is available for Windows. Learning how to use this software is HIGHLY recommended if you use Bitcoin, as it will allow you to verify your Bitcoin wallet software hasn't been tampered, among other things.
First you will need a copy of my PGP key. To get it open a terminal and type this:
$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 0x5C34AC7629163393
And you will get an output similar to this:
gpg: requesting key 0x5C34AC7629163393 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
gpg: key 0x5C34AC7629163393: "Blazr " not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1
Next thing you need to do is verify this key is really mine, because it could belong to an imposter. You can do this by verifying its fingerprint, type:
$ gpg --fingerprint 0x5C34AC7629163393
What you see should exactly match this:
pub 1024D/0x5C34AC7629163393 2012-04-25 [expires: 2016-02-06]
Key fingerprint =
851E 59A1 4E68 9192 5754 700A 5C34 AC76 2916 3393uid Blazr <
[email protected]>
sub 4096R/0x8B4A9050B54A6C64 2015-02-06 [expires: 2016-02-06]
sub 4096R/0xE9EC425DDF0B9244 2015-02-06 [expires: 2016-02-06]
The key part here is the bit in bold. This part is the fingerprint, think of it like a Bitcoin address. It should exactly match above.
Once you have my key, it is very easy to verify my messages. Here is a test message you can try:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
This is a test message

Copy this message, open a terminal and type
gpg and press enter. You should see the following:
gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...
Paste in the message, press enter to make a new line and then press ctrl+d. You should see something similar to this:
gpg: Signature made Fri 06 Feb 2015 22:27:38 GMT
gpg: using RSA key 0x8B4A9050B54A6C64
gpg: Good signature from "Blazr "
The key part here is
Good signature. You should also pay attention to the date the message was signed and the key id. You may get a message about an untrusted key, this is OK, it is just because you haven't signed my key, which is something you do if you are 100% sure it is my key, for example if I meet you in person and we exchange keys face-to-face.
3) bitpop:
PGP KeyYou can easily encrypt a message for me at
https://keybase.io/encrypt#bitpop but you must still PM me or even publicly post it on this forum once encrypted. It's not automatically sent to me.
