gwern trying to crack DPR's PGP

blog

After some evidences of the Silk Road trial got out, Gwern noticed a PGP key was in here…

This is the ASCII-armored private key of the main DPR public key, the one he signed forum posts with and messaged with people. I was surprised to see it screenshotted like that, and I thought it would be hilarious if I could take the private key and announce that I was actually the real DPR by signing it with his key (since I’ve occasionally been accused of it).
