TradeRoute PGP Key and Grams PGP Key don't match

Hi, A TradeRoute vendor has his Grams link in the description and the PGP key on Grams doesn't match the PGP key shown on TradeRoute. At the current time this should be seen as a clear red flag right?

He's on TradeRoute since Sept. 2016 but has only been active the last few days it seems (from the reviews). On Grams you can see good reviews from agora, evo, etc. so if he really is the same person, i'd trust him. Who can change the grams PGP Key, which one is more trusworthy?

Just ask him to sign his new key with the old one before you go forward with any business.

Changing your PGP key is not in and of itself a red flag. However it is a red flag if they cannot decrypt things with their old key or sign the new one with the old one. Make sure the whole fingerprint matches.

It will look like this:

Which vendor?

You add a grams key by creating an account, same as on the various markets. Chances are he probably generated a new key pair at some point for day-to-day use and forgot to plug it in grams...or, and far more likely, he doesn't want to lose all the feedback accumulated under the old key/markets by changing the key to his new one. Which is what would happen. And he likely put himself in this situation due to paranoia in thinking PGP has been 'broken' (that FUD always gets spread).

You can have him sign the new key with the old (if he still has it). That's one way. Otherwise, just keep an eye on him and see if his market feedback looks like he's getting off to a good start and that there's recent indication of delivery success. Even if it's not actually the original guy, as long as he's delivering the stuff you want...
