Warning:

The following command using gpg with --recv-keys is not recommended for security reasons and is often non-functional. ^[1] This is not a Whonix-specific issue. The OpenPGP public key should be downloaded from the web instead; see also Secure Downloads. This procedure is currently undocumented and can be resolved as per the Self Support First Policy. Documentation contributions will be happily considered.

My old key was:

pub   4096R/0x9C131AD3713AAEEF 2012-03-02
      Key fingerprint = 9B15 7153 925C 303A 4225  3AFB 9C13 1AD3 713A AEEF
uid                 [ultimate] adrelanos <adrelanos@riseup.net>
sub   4096R/0xFEFB3583794279C4 2012-03-02

My new key is:

pub   4096R/0x8D66066A2EEACCDA 2014-01-16 [expires: 2015-01-16]
      Key fingerprint = 916B 8D99 C38E AF5E 8ADC  7A2A 8D66 066A 2EEA CCDA
uid                 [ unknown] Patrick Schleizer <adrelanos@riseup.net>

You may fetch this key with GnuPG with the long form:

    gpg --recv-key 916B8D99C38EAF5E8ADC7A2A8D66066A2EEACCDA

My old key will continue to be valid, but I would prefer all future
communication to be done using my new key.

This document has been signed using both the old and the new keys so
that you can certify the transition. In addition, the new key has been
signed with the old one to confirm its validity.

If you'd like any further verification or have any questions about
this transition please contact me directly.

Predictions

Trying to predict but not influence the future. And proofing it. These are sha512 hashes which are published before a predicted event is going to happen. Once the event happened, the corresponding cleartext will be published together with instructions on how to recreate the sha512 hash from the cleartext.

Relaying Messages - Human Proxy

No. Bad idea for me to start relaying messages and acting as a human proxy. Reasons:

Easily confused as being the author instead of the messenger by readers, specifically when quoted.
Easily confusing my own messages with relayed proxy messages.
Might imply endorsement, affiliation, or agreement to some readers.
If I agree to be a messenger now, it would require reasoning for saying no to others.

It's important to maintain clarity in communication and avoid situations where messages could be misinterpreted or misattributed. Additionally, maintaining neutrality and avoiding implicit endorsements or affiliations is crucial in many contexts.

Please try to find other free or paid messengers, other solutions to account creation issues and/or other communication channels.
