Description

Hi,

Is there any view to support gpg keys using secp256k1? I'm getting unsupported oid at my end.

~ cr0bar$ keybase pgp select
#    Algo    Key Id             Created   UserId
=    ====    ======             =======   ======

Choose a key: 1
▶ ERROR ImportKey error: openpgp: unsupported feature: unsupported oid: 2b8104000a

Kind regards,
Anthony
