Hi LP,

I finally got your PGP key, it was attached to one of your emails.
It's just a relatively unusual way of getting a PGP key.
often people just upload their public keys to a keyserver.

Here is a list of keyservers:

Here is a document on how to upload your PGP key:
https://www.futureboy.us/pgp.html#Publishing

Though from what I've read it seems you got this public key from
Proton Mail. So you probably don't have the private key, and thus
can't encrypt things independent of them, and are kinda dependent on
them for your secure identity.

If you were interested in owning your own secure identity then I'd
recommend creating your own PGP key-pair.

To make things a little bit easier for everyone I've uploaded your
public key to a public key server.
