Hey there!

So, here's my current problem

I have the base16 data in a txt file, and my public key in asc file

However, when I try to parse the data together, it doesn't work.

What can I do?

Dearmor key is required before using paperkey: gpg --dearmor public-key.txt (This command will create public-key.txt.gpg)

After that use paperkey: paperkey --pubring public-key.txt.gpg --secrets paperkey.txt --output secret-key.gpg
