Looking for a good social proof solution following Keybase's acquisition this morning? Check out @wiktor's decentralized solution built on PGP! https://metacode.biz/openpgp/proofs I'm setting my key up now 😄
@sheogorath I should look into this, this seams reasonable way of getting keys@jonah @wiktor
@nikolal
I got you covered. My take on it:
@sheogorath Wow, thanks, I was just looking for this
@sheogorath I've set it up. Do you know anything about adding Access-Control-Allow-Origin header? I've tested it here but not getting positive test for that header in nginx config
@sheogorath By here I mean https://metacode.biz/openpgp/web-key-directory, forgot to put link
@nikolal For which nginx config?
https://git.shivering-isles.com/shivering-isles/blog/-/blob/f0e65ebffc8ecb15259b405159c2104cc0d52dae/_docker/default.conf#L47 <-- this is mine :D
@sheogorath Found it, I was missing header for .well-known/openpgp/hu. Thanks
Yep, I just did a small fix to the lookup page and now it does WKD if an e-mail is passed: https://metacode.biz/openpgp/key#jonah@privacytools.io or https://metacode.biz/openpgp/key#sheogorath@shivering-isles.com
The keyserver is used only when looking up via fingerprint. (btw if you don’t know https://keys.openpgp.org/ is a new generation keyserver, this is not what you expected from SKS).
@wiktor
Cool, I'll be adding social proofs now
@sheogorath
@nikolal kind of a GPG problem overall, at least it works with the new keyservers.
@jonah @wiktor hey @nwalfield @hko any opinions on this?
@rysiek @jonah @wiktor @nwalfield I suppose if a thing is useful to do, then it's worth doing it in a decentralized way. So yay for wiktor working on this! (Personally, I haven't wanted to do "social proofs" so far, but I'm a grumpy person who'd rather not link every one of my things to every other one of my things - not even without using cryptography).
To be honest I’m also not a big fan of social proofs. It just annoyed me that Keybase made something centralized with no clear reason so I made it decentralized following the design of Vincent (https://chaos.social/@Valodim).
Consider this a weekend project with one reason: because it *can* be done! ;)
@wiktor @hko @nwalfield @jonah Your solution also doesn't unnecessarily include a damn Blockchain! But I'm also not a big fan of social proofs. Props for doing the work anyway!
Ha, you really did set it up: https://metacode.biz/openpgp/key#0x6A957C9A9A9429F7
Cool! Do you mind if I use your key as a reference in the docs on how it works? I used mine but then it looks just weird :)
@wiktor not sure why I didn’t get a notification for this reply but sure, if you still want to 😅

@jonah Only downside of this are keyservers :( @wiktor
