Phew! Who knew generating a GPG key would be so hard?!?
My brand new paw print is 4664476F731B2250
At some point after I get an email address I'll have to go and make an even newer paw print~
Here's the code I had to tape together:

@foxxy psst..you can attach an email to your existing key!
@foxxy you'll have to redistribute it to everyone of course.
@foxxy also we just use a GUI for key stuff. >,,>
@IceWolf Does the GUI you floofs use have the ability to type in the super secret number?
@foxxy The super secret number? *headtilt*
@IceWolf Ye! Private keys are just a really long super secret number (length is dependant on algorithm). The one I picked happened to be 116 digits long. I had to write some Python code 'cause I couldn't find any GPG UIs that let me enter in the number. They always wanted to pick a random number for me but I didn't like any of them nopers :v
@foxxy OH
are you trying to import a preexisting private key?
@foxxy hah!
I wonder what happens if you just put the private key into a file and tell a GUI to import it.
