I indeed do have those, but I'm not sure keybase will bounce. I tried mailing myself there earlier (with a third address) and all I got in return was silence. > If the ID still "belongs" to you (in some meaningful sense) then > there's no need to revoke it just because it is unusable for the > purposes of email.

I should probably stop collecting signs on that uid on keysigning parties, though, I shouldn't bother people with sending signed keys an unconventional (and manual) method. Sincerely, Felix
