I currently have a script to automatically run all keys against all messages¹, by using the OpenSSL commandline tool directly. With you using PGP instead of RSA, I need to support that too, so I’m figuring out how to integrate the messages from that website with the command-line gpg² tool.

¹ I still need to manually collect keys and messages, but it automatically does the comparison.
² This is not a typo. To a first approximation, PGP and GPG are the same thing. For more precision, I’m using GPG on my machine while that website uses a different PGP implementation.

Okay but what is the information are you trying to get by doing that?

I’m not sure what “that” is supposed to refer to, so I’ll be a bit broad here. The general purpose of the compilation of encrypted messages is so that it’s easy to tell who made encrypted statements and what those encrypted statements are. This makes it easy to keep track of the fact that, for example, three people so far haven’t made encrypted roleclaims. The purpose of automatically running through all possible decryptions is so that if, say, modrony put out a private key, it would be easy to see which (if any) messages were decrypted by that key and easy to see what information was now public. The purpose of including the PGP in the mix is so that I can use the same tool if/when you reveal your PGP private keys, especially if more people decide to use PGP instead of RSA.

Okay! Sorry for the vagueness.
That is pretty much what I wanted to know.

The day cycle ends at around 1am tomorrow unless I confused the math.
I am going to bed in about 1-1.5 hours.
I don't think the decision is currently on lynching me, but I think some people haven't voted and the decision might change.
Please if you think you are likely to majority vote to lynch me let me know before then, so I can publish my private keys.

Ooh, thought!
@Alicorn and @Nemo Consequentiae, would it be okay to have an encrypted list of my private keys for all of my posts, with the private key for that also published, but with the passphrase as the name of my template, which is published upon my death? I understand if that is bending the rules-as-intended too much and you don't want me to.

I recommend that lots of people post what they're going to do at night, even if they're a townie, that way those who have special powers don't get singled out by doing a night post. If I am a powered template, these are my plans for what I'll do tonight. If I'm not, it's my favorite type of ice cream.
The key is the same as my 'powers' encryption.

@DamielH: Oh, nice, I was starting to imagine the headache of trawling through all the messages to see what was decodable once private keys started appearing. Kudos!

Also a message of either my plans for the night or my RL Sunday plans*:
*meant to use same key as for powers, but the result was 'false', so I'm taking the biggest key (and wooo, is that a long key...) and will use same one for all announcements of plans/actions

@Daniel: Upon reading the index of codes, I think it might be smart to break it up into what day people made them so we can easily refer back to it when we're six days in and role calling. Because I realized that if we have over thirty for day one, just think about how many we'll have further in. Sure, people will be dead, and we'll have less reason to encrypt things, but the principle's the same.

Here are my plans for tonight!
