### proof of concept on using pgp keyservers for Decentralized file storage
WARNING: this may break easily and is intended for use only on linux, & only for educational purposes.
Using Python to open a file in binary then break it up and convert to base64 then insert that into a pgp pubring as new uid's. Once uploaded to a keyserver its there forever and propogated to all other key servers, making this a simple decentralised file storage system.
I wrote this because of the keyservers poor design, anyone can upload any kind of data to them without the option for removal or peer review. Key Base although i am not a fan, require you to sign up and create an account instead of a simple dumping ground for keys that have the potential to contain sensitive data. There are endless ways to abuse this system, I have not even began to explore every option.
