I am Jim Bell, author of the Assassination Politics essay, at jdb10987@yahoo.com. I'm trying to implement public-key message signing with Mailvelope software, not with much success so far. I haven't really done signficant amounts of encryption since the 1990's, not much even then, and then I used PGP, and not with an email client. I realize that I don't have a public key available; I'd like to publish it, but there probably haven't been any key-signings nearby. I'm trying to (re-) learn the bare bones of this. This is my second attempt. The first attempt at signing simply lost my message, for reasons entirely unknown. I'd like to prove who I am. At least initially, I though of using a Skype call, jimbell887, to talk to a few of the more credible people around here. That will, at least, reduce the level of doubt until I can get up to speed on this very irritating software. I will put this message, and then have a signed copy of this message. I'd like to somehow include a copy of my public key, but as I said, I cannot yet figure out how do to that.

It all looked good until I tried to import the key and I got:
[stuff deleted] Last night, AFTER I posted this stuff, I tried to post my public key on Keybase. It had not been previously publicized. I don't know if I was successful. I fully understand that I will have to attend some keysigning event, maybe in the San Francisco bay area, or perhaps Seattle. Jim Bell P.S. I wanted to sign this message, too, which was edited on Yahoo Mail, but the Mailvelope icon seems to not always appear. How do I sign if Mailvelope isn't working at the moment? <sigh>
