An interesting read ...

New PGP key: RSA/RSA or DSA/Elgamal?
- https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/72581/new-pgp-key-rsa-rsa-or-dsa-elgamal

you're slightly proving my point here... PGP keys should have an expiry date, or at least the subkeys (of a master key) should. That's why people are asking questions like that on stackexchange.com, and Satoshi eventually almost certainly understood this too. You'd be quite unwise to trust Satoshi's PGP key  from 2008 alone when it's concerning such a significant person.

BTW, the most secure PGP keys use the Ed25519 curve, you need to enable some kind of expert option to use them though (I think it's literally gpg --expert --full-generate-key). Ed25519 keys were not added to GnuPG until 2014 or so, long after Satoshi disappeared.

Not disputing that.  Smiley

Indeed that is why my list for accepting proof of the satoshi identity (cyrptographically) has five different points of empirical evidence.

Completely farcical.
