Is having a single key enough?
How many different PGP keys do you have/use?
Have you ever shared your pubkey somewhere else outside SR?

The most important rule here is, don't mix your anonymous and real identities. Don't send a public key that you use on SR to people who know your real identity. Don't post that public key on clearnet where it can be linked to your IP address.
Beyond that, you can have as many public keys as you want identities, but most people maintain either one or two identities. In the case of two identities, they keep their marketplace and forum identities separated.

That's exactly what i've been inquiring about.
Otherwise it'd possible to search/compare pubkeys and link the profiles.
Anyway i'd like to raise this issue in global awareness and maybe see the score.

I have 6.
1 is for SR (and SR forums) only and uses a Tormail address.
1 is for my desktop computer and uses a non-existent email.
1 is for my laptop computer and also uses a non-existent email
(I use those two for sending info between the two computers)
1 is for my regular gmail address. And I have two more keys for two other email accounts I have.
