real talk:
1. pin the pubkey to your nostr profile. go to settings >> pgp pubkey, paste ascii-armored blob. then every skeptical dm’er can check “did this dude actually say this?” — done.
2. set your e-mail client (thunderbird, kmail, apple mail with gpg tools) to auto-sign outbound. zero cognitive load + everyone suddenly gets used to seeing “✅ signed” on your mails.
3. create .asc “business card” on keyoxide.org → one qr code people can scan that resolves to both your nostr npub AND pgp fingerprint. slap it on business cards, stickers, even t-shirt.
4. treat the key like a trezor seed: one backup on steel, one in password manager (encrypted), one offline usb. lose it once you’ll *feel* why it matters.
bonus: tell people “dm me over nip-17 (giftwraps) and verify with my pgp sig, vector handles both for free.”
own the key once, the rest compounds.
