Yes, you are right. The only difference in the message's contents is the fingerprint link listed according to the public key algorithm I used to encrypt the message.
Okay. Thanks for the confirmation. So, my decryption was successful. That means you can decrypt multiple algorithms even though your key is generated using RSA only.

Only GnuPG 2.1+ and a few other PGP clients support ECC. You only need to change the command line to generate the key in the terminal.
If you carefully consider the sequence number in the section:  'Please select what kind of key you want,' then you will see that after no. 4, go straight to no. 14. What kind of keys are in between that?
Here's what I got:


Oh dear. Thanks for that. I forgot about that. I did not pay attention to these options since everyone uses the RSA algorithm. I also used the same. Sometimes, exploring between the options helps me learn new things.

Anyway, I have tried an Android app called OpenKeyChain, which you can see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474187.0
Do you think it's real RSA 4096? I don't know if a specific device needs some power to use these algorithms. I know a little about mining algorithms that need more and more power to verify blocks. But I guess mobile CPUs are enough to generate a key using the RSA algorithm. What do you think about it?
