Glad to see you back around m7! I know I probably sound like a broken record, but I still think it would still be useful if these were signed with a personal PGP key for authenticity.

Useful how?

After he shares his PGP key and we store it on our keychain, it would be used to validate that any future signed messages are coming from the same person. Of course if he or his account had already been compromised it would be a moot point, but if he was unable to sign future messages it would be a major red flag.

I guess. How different is him loosing his PGP key and his SaidIt login password?

I recon it would be nice if we all used some kind of verification thing everywhere. Know of any platforms and/or platform extensions or browser addons that can embed these PGP keys?

I like to call my posting style "Burst Posting." And I even have a nickname for the moves I use depending on the number of posts I make:

2 Posts: Double Straffing.

4 Posts: Shunyata.

7 Posts: Phoenix's Wings Flight.

12 Posts: Sunrise.

17 Posts: Phoenix Demonic Illusion Blitz/Hell Zone Ambush.

If a CIA goon would try to imitate my posting style they would probably die of embarrassment... So It's a good way to know It's me...

Phoenix?

Yeah, It's because my name is based on the Japanese destroyer.

Not because you like the CIA and Phoenicia?

I like it so much that I expose their drug dealing as a hobby?

I was just curious. The phoenix is a weird one for me.
