Send an Encrypted Message
Have you ever thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if GitHub had DM's?" Probably not... but what if it was strictly opt-in and there was a slight barrier to entry to prevent excessive spamming? Well, Issues can be used to send messages... but they're public. Unless...
**Welcome to my public-private inbox.**
To send me a private message, just open an Issue in this repo, encrypt your message with my PGP key, I'll be notified - problem solved!
To send an encrypted message, all you need is my public PGP key...
If you want my reply to be encrypted, all you need is to share your public PGP key...
In fact, GitHub already handles this part for you! A user's public key can be found just by visiting https://github.com/USERNAME.gpg
Public Key
Lets others send messages that only you can read
Private Key
Lets you read messages that no one else can read

"Cryptography is the ultimate form of non-violent direct action."
## Why PGP?
End-to-end encryption
Only I can read your message
Mathematically secure
No backdoors, no exceptions (not even GitHub)
Verified identity
My key, my identity
> [!CAUTION]
> PGP encryption is very strong - it is used by journalists, activists, and security professionals all over the world. However, this particular repo is **not** an appropriate platform for sending highly sensitive information, and it's not designed with that purpose in mind.
"Strong cryptography can resist an unlimited application of violence.
No amount of coercive force will ever solve a math problem."
## Licenses

### Disclaimer
This repo is intended to provide a reliable means for private communication. It is not "hardened" and no strong guarantees of privacy or secrecy can be made. Also, spam is still spam, even if it's encrypted. Thanks.
