Nothing wrong with that, just add a new user id using adduid from --edit-key, it wont have the old signatures from other users, those got lost at the revocation point, but your new contacts can sign the new UID without issue. Deleting the old UID will have no practical effect if it has been distributed to a keyserver historically. -- ---------------------------- Kristian Fiskerstrand Blog: https://blog.sumptuouscapital.com Twitter: @krifisk ---------------------------- Public OpenPGP keyblock at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3 ---------------------------- "If you choose to sail upon the seas of banking, build your bank as you would your boat, with the strength to sail safely through any storm."
