Hello, I tried to read this guy's blog either but it seams like you have to pay to read it (buy credits with bitcoin). I don't know who the hell this guy thinks he is, not even Bruce Schneier asks to pay fees to read his blog/research papers, but I am just going to keep calm.
So, since I wouldn't give anything more than the bandwidth I am already consuming to read this guy's blog, I guess I will never read his 'academic research on PGP', but I am really looking forward to see if he can sign the nonce you've provided with your so-called compromised key. I doubt this will ever happen. Even he never cracked any PGP keys at all, the FUD he spread around was a nice way to get some free advertising. Look, people saying his name on gnupg and enigmail lists, which are quite popular I believe. If he can prove he has your key by signing the nonce you've provided, I hereby confirm that I will subscribe to his 'academic research blog' and pay for each and every article, regardless I won't read them or have interest in them.
