One difficult problem in public-key encryption is key exchange: how to get a recipient's public key and know it's really theirs. My plan is to make make your email the hash of your public key. For example, my address is *nqkgpx6bqscslher@scramble.io* (I borrowed this idea from Tor Hidden Services.)

This is what we need everyone to adopt. Your ID = your public key hash and not an account on some server you don't control. Glad to see more people adopt this idea. Any chance of interoperability with other projects with similar aims and ideas like Cables? [1] [1] http://dee.su/cables -- Liberationtech is a public list whose archives are searchable on Google.
