I think that if you stay in Europe, being a FSFE member, you'll get its member card with OpenPGPcard feature. I'm sure that it will improve the eco system around GnuPG, although it's not directly supporting GnuPG development. Besides, it gives her good opportunity to consider the importance and difficulty of controling her own computing, by a concrete example of card reader implementation and card implementation. Buying OpenPGPcard implementations (instead of other card implementations of PKCS) also benefits GnuPG development indirectly. Because OpenPGPcard specification is published, and its functionality is clear enough. Well, PKCS is published, YES... but supporting cards other than OpenPGPcard specification is very difficult for free software project, in general, because the standard practice assumes non-free environment and the industry tends to be unfriendly to free software. Buying original OpenPGPcard implementation would be better, so that we can support publishing OpenPGPcard specification as free specification. Perhaps, you'd like more free implementation of OpenPGPcard, but (partially) non-free implementation also works. In the current situation, I never accuse users/developers of non-free OpenPGPcard implementation. It's not ideal, but it would be an important step towards better control of our own computing. Difficulty is... for card readers. I only know one free (as in freedom) implementation which connects physical card, that's CryptoStick (now, new project name, Nitrokey), which combines physical OpenPGPcard into a token. Lastly and unlikely, if you stay in Japan, being a FSIJ member, you'll automatically get the pressure of buying FST-01 as Gnuk Token (or NeuG standalone). :-) I'm selling FST-01 so that I could have more time for GnuPG development, and I'd like to invite more developers into this area, while I'd like to encourage Chinese Industry for free (as in freedom) hardware design. -- signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

I for myself did not wanted to get into the hardware business. But meanwhile I consider to have some merchandise stuff and a card might well fit into that category. Maybe not a card but the fully free gnuk token. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.

Re: Purchasing OpenPGP cards, card-readers to support GnuPG
I was hoping that long thread might suggest the same. Quite willing to support GPG via a purchase, but so little information is available... regards DaveP On 11 February 2015 at 15:35, taltman wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA512 > > I'd like to both support the GnuPG project, and acquire an OpenPGP card > and card reader. > > Is there any way to purchase these items where a portion of the proceeds > goes to supporting GnuPG? > > Thanks, > > ~Tomer > > - -- > - > - --- > > Encrypted email preferred. > http://taltman.sdf.org/public_key.asc > Key fingerprint = DFE8 7D60 D452 9C4F 5D1F 7515 F55F BB30 1719 7991 > -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- > > iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJU23aqAAoJEMAutzpeVLZSxN8P/RZdL4+kzmRtjow5MfshaWfX > cmZKxystchC8obkXg1jTxD5TFfQMccgkzC1ans1aRWtUjSJakmcrzsgq4F3ibCHO > bRk0G9snXU7gdSMSOHfsJI0IMO29Sile/LmxqTXFRZWayM6m+71J0vsDHFcc65TR > GMgvms6/6fL/4XrhL3TXHKdaUcwq1GAhzT3bBd0ERrJjr71q+CeVvsjBAswkqBYO > TEo8e87wg/c2wYyE6tFhqinbTzIKukom4WMoRbWWU6LpdoZ1F9wFvDuc446J5R7D > aQ+1LhDutYol6g97C1ZXqZYG0zEsrqdjqUGkh3lfpH9DW39GEOFhJCPakoFnrerS > UEA4rn+UXyr3G2GXDQpck49Ks4TGSRudyvw8Frnuw8FH+MwU8W8ygdMJ5Pf657tB > siYNKD9G/g4d5miH+7DDte+T35I+EQyp86oko97qFYhNUDUKFn6Zm2aSV9G0XuSY > fROyFMKBZ3qlOScyG8tbaBEYZziQC8T4KNEomv0R5Tvm2scnfKqKd1bIHhvqe7mn > VPfvNuaxidLMVqtITQSshFd2RpruhCHt1Vyd5q/cU1EgiDlxy/SluyqVit05SicX > fRCNUE2ZtSvaxPoIwU+LSDWGg0+OPsP2whjjB+Fh3GsArAWfrVPyXCQg9t++f+AA > YfchIHRrd4NQJiOLpDtn > =zpRT > -END PGP SIGNATURE- > > > ___ > Gnupg-users mailing list > Gnupg-users@gnupg.org > http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ.

Purchasing OpenPGP cards, card-readers to support GnuPG
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 I'd like to both support the GnuPG project, and acquire an OpenPGP card and card reader.
