I want this to succeed so much.
Out of curiosity, will there be options in the client to either (a) keep private keys un-synced (but still be part of the public key network), or (b) import an existing keyring? Or other mechanisms for someone who is already using PGP, but unsatisfied with the experience, to join without needing to generate new keys.
- napoleond 14y agoWe hadn't really thought about importing existing keyrings to be honest, but it seems like a good idea. I can't immediately think of any reasons why we wouldn't do it.
- ajdecon 14y agoIt would make me very very happy, if that's a good reason to do it. :-) The user experience with encrypted email frankly sucks right now, and if you improve it, I think you'll be getting a lot of existing GPG users as well as newbies. But we all have keys already...
- napoleond 14y agoSeems like a good enough reason to me ;) The only challenge I see is that those users will still have to change their email addresses (it's not a huge extra step, but we don't want to worry about custom domains out of the gate) and some public key servers make it difficult to remove the old one.
- bstpierre 14y agoI'd sign up for a "$8/mo plus four invites" plan (i.e. keep it under $100/yr), but not without custom domains. I bought my own domain a decade+ ago for the exact reason that I never have to switch addresses again.
- napoleond 14y agoHmm, interesting, thanks. I don't foresee custom domains being a big challenge, and it probably won't take too long for us to add support, but I would just want to make sure we stamped out the lion's share of bugs first.
