Hi,
I'm trying to make the big step from GnuPG v1 to v2 but i'm experiencing
agonizing pains caused by the forced use of "pinentry" by gpg-agent and
friends, or rather the way the GPG_TTY stuff works?
I'm on Linux and i am not using Unity/Gnome/whatever, so i start X by
calling 'startx' and it

Hi!
Some time ago in March i was asking about the way the pinentry works and
i have not yet been able to get this working properly.
I have this vim macro that automatically decrypts and encrypts files
named .gpg. I use this in a terminal through SSH on my server and it
basically pipes a buffer

Thanks for your tips and tricks. It's the less bodgy
