#Motherboard reported about the problem of short #PGP keys (32-bit version). That is why I provide my entire key, ASCII-armored on my server: http://mxchange.org/c6c7bd78.asc And here is my full id: F68A 3A46 CADB 767C 796A 3FC2 B72F 8185 C6C7 BD78

Also a "weakness" of #PGP is the different policies people tell you: Don't expand life-time of your key, better create new one. This leaves a whole #web-of-ghosts behind as every time your key expires you need to create a new one, leaving the old one unusable behind, filling up hard drives of key servers. And it also forces you to go to #key-signing parties all over again and all over again your friends/collegs need to import/sign/trust your new key. Really user-unfriendly thing.

Better is to just extend life-time of your key(s). Then you can keep it and don't fill up the key servers with expired keys and nobody needs to import all over again. BTW: I have separate keys for all my previous (and current) employees to avoid copying my private key on their systems.
