Hi, I've been hearing that these instructions seem a bit overwhelming for some. gpg really isn't as hard as it seems. Like anything in the Linux-world you just have to get over the entry barrier.
If you don't already have a gpg key, follow the instuctions in section 1 of 'Your Key' at: http://www.madboa.com/geek/gpg-quickstart/ You should also upload your public key to a server (section 3 in 'Your Key') so I can access it to verify your vote submission. Any questions, feel free to ask here or in IRC.
