I'm sure some people still use OpenPGP since it is one of the few good ways to encrypt emails and also handles file encryption and signing.
If anyone in the Edmonton, Alberta area in Canada wishes to exchange keys, I am willing to meet up with you.
One thing the recent events should have taught us is that since the health agencies in my area have started mass surveillance via tools like tracking cell phones, privacy should be protected by math and not by laws of man. Hence anyone that happens to be near this area and wants to have their key signed by me should reach out and we if there is interest we may all have to meet up to exchange said keys. Another thing we should do is discuss how to make this process easier and more foolproof for the layman. OpenPGP is one of many things that gains more usefulness as the number of people using it increases.
OpenPGP should be replaced with something better but as of writing this I am unaware of anything that can fully replace OpenPGP, even S/MIME which is supposed to be easier and more robust due to it's resemblance to HTTPS which everyone knows how to use is - in my opinion - much more difficult to use than OpenPGP and also costs around $20 USD per year while OpenPGP is totally free to use thanks to projects like Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG or GPG for short). For the foreseeable future, OpenPGP is here to stay and I wish to get more people using it. Frankly, if I can teach my grandmother - who is not a very technically minded person - to use OpenPGP then it should be possible to teach to almost anyone close to my age bracket.
