I use #OpenPGP for other reasons :P

@einebiene Most of the reasons people have against #OpenPGP are that it (and especially email) "leaks metadata". But the whole point of it is to verify identities anyway.
I don't use OpenPGP for pseudonymous communication, but for integrity and authentication. To make sure that the person I receive something from actually generated it.
This is especially interesting when storing your own data or backups. Encryption is one layer, but I care more that noone's messed around with it or the data has been otherwise corrupted. A signed backup is a verified backup. :) (#duplicity makes this extremely easy btw)

@einebiene The #Enigmail plugin for #Thunderbird (or #Iceweasel ) makes it relatively easy to get started. Gnome's(?) #Evolution has integrated #OpenPGP by default.

@einebiene There should be (I bet there are, I just don't know of any) mobile hackerspaces that live off from helping people with hacker stuff!
