Entropy for GPG keys (speed up gpg gen key)
Raw
README.md

Open a ssh session

sudo apt-get install rng-tools

In another SSH window open

gpg --gen--key

Go back to your first SSH session and run

sudo rngd -r /dev/urandom

Let this run till gpg generates your keys!

Then you can kill rngd

sudo kill -9 $(pidof rngd)

Hi Francisco,

Hope you are well.

In line 7 you have extra ` character and it's rendering lines not as you intended, I think.

Kind regards,

Kamil

Hi @franciscocpg

Glad you are fine.

You saved me a lot of time in generating a GPG keys, so I thought at least I could do is let you know about it.

Cheers buddy,

Kamil
