I totally agree, Dashamir I really think you should focus on what you think is hard in gnupg? And why? Are you sure a new program (and not a simple patch) is the best answer?
At the moment you are showing us strange defaults, an implementation that can break at any time, and I am not really sure how much it is easier anyway. For example, I find strange and needlessy difficult that the keys have a duration and not an expiration date. So when one wants the key to last until the end of the year or to his birthday one has to make a date difference manually. On Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 10:46 AM, Robert J.
