There was some criticism when this showed up on reddit[1] about the lack of a detailed protocol description and punting on the key distribution. It sounds like a good project publicized to early.

- switch33 13y agoA bit what we said plus some more interesting feedback. Even more problems; you must trust a "cloud-like" service for the keys exchanged. Bleh, this isn't going to get used anytime soon.
- aarnott 13y agoYes, the project owners (including myself) are concerned about the trusted cloud service model as well. That's just a sample, and we'd like to replace it with a trustless model. NFC is looking good for key exchange between folks who are close enough to shake hands. I don't think the key signing parties that OpenPGP relies on will work for the typical end user, which is what IronPigeon is targeting.
