Walletwasabi: Change PGP Key URL in the website

Created on 23 Aug 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In the index page of the website the PGP signing key currently links to https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/blob/master/PGP.txt but there is no easy way to use something like curl on this page to get the key without all the JS and HTML.

Describe the solution you'd like

Link to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/master/PGP.txt which is a raw (i.e. no HTML or JS) version.

I'm not the sole decision maker of this repo anymore, so I reopen your issue to let others chime in, too.

Concept NACK. Easy access to the file history is an additional layer of security here.

I beg to differ, since whoever is importing the key is expected to check the key fingerprint somewhere else anyway, but it's your call. Thanks for answering.

We discussed this on Devmeeting. I agree with @nopara73 website is used by humans, so the link can point to a github site where history, comments, etc are available.
Automated processes still can use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/master/PGP.txt
It won't be moved elsewhere so it can be hard coded.

I wasn't talking about automated processes (it would be pointless to automate the process of importing a key) but rather the common work flow in which someone may do curl site.com/key.asc | gpg --with-fingerprint -, which displays the fingerprint but does not import the key. However, I understand the given rationale and will not insist. Thanks again for answering.

There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.
