The recommendation is that GPG users publish their keys to a keyserver. Thus I would have thought the best way of sharing it via the profile is to share the key id (mine is 0x45758A21 for example). Get the id with: gpg --list-keys USERNAME (e.g. gpg --list-keys "Dave Morriss") The way people used to do it before there were reliable key servers was to generate the ASCII armo(u)red version of the key and place it on a website. This form can be generated with: gpg --armor --output public_key.asc --export USERNAME For myself, this is a file of 1173 lines, so probably not good material for the profile. I *think* that it's better to publish the full 16-character form of the key id rather than the 8-character one. Mine is 0x4825C90A45758A21. gpg --list-keys --keyid-format long USERNAME I'm sure there's more...
