PGP is infamous for being difficult to use. These days, it feels like it has only two groups of users:

1. Geeky privacy-lovers who remember the crypto wars and refuse to let go. 🫡

2. Angry, impatient drug users who have no interest in it but need to purchase things on the dark web.

Fascinating and quite funny to watch this duality.

Why do you feel it’s difficult to use. I know people who are a mix of 1 and 2

Are they no longer signing commits to the bitcoin repository?

Of course 🤦‍♂️ That and signing software must be the most common use of PGP today. Silly thing to forget.
