Honestly not sure why I didn't do that once the tool had stabilized.

Switched to

    go install filippo.io/torchwood/cmd/age-keylookup@main
    age -r $(age-keylookup [email protected])
age is designed to be composable and very stable, and this shell combination works well enough, so it's unlikely we'll build it straight into age(1).

Offtopic but I really appreciate golang and so I am always on the lookout of modern alternatives and I found age and I found it to be brilliant for what its worth

But I was discussing it with some techies once and someone mentioned to me that it had less entropy (I think they mentioned 256 bits of entropy) whereas they wanted 512 bits of entropy which pgp supported

I can be wrong about what exactly they talked about since it was long time ago so pardon me if thats the case, but are there any "issues" that you know about in age?

Another thing regarding the transparent servers is that what really happens if the servers go down, do you have any thoughts of having fediverse-alike capabilities perhaps? And also are there any issues/limitations of the transparent keyserver that you wish to discuss

Also your work on age has been phenomenal so thank you for creating a tool like age!
