I don’t know what issue you think I was talking about but I am talking about the fact that Bisq can not manage GPG keys properly:

> There is a long-established way of handling exactly this sort of thing, and Bisq isn’t doing it. Why even use signing keys if you’re not going to use them in the proper way? I actually forget the original situation here, but if there are two keys then each of those keys should have signed each other and uploaded the new keys to the keyserver so everyone can verify that each signer knows the other.
