So it seems they invented PGP keyservers with a monitoring protocol as a bag on the side?

I've had keys on keyservers for years. The monitoring side is interesting though.

It's also unclear how the whole directory will be compressed to 140 bytes - iirc, the best compression algorithms reduce text by ~80-90%, so it might work for a week or so, I guess.



Presumably the 140 characters is more like a git revision number than reversible compression.


Hash then compress. (Or hash then truncate.)
