Description

I'm starting to include my 64bit fingerprint in my signature. People who don't know what the finger print is are typically directed to something that looks like this. But the reality is, when looking at that profile page, people still don't know what to do. I think there should be some friendly help message saying, "Hi, are you interested in sending an encrypted message to [Name]" or something like that.
