— Remove non-working link to keybase.io — Add key ID — Add link to (yet to be created) GitHub repo 'pgp-keys' with the key file 'lbry-key.asc' stored in the master branch — Remove not self-signed PGP key in code box (having a single source for the PGP key and the key ID is a bad habit) — Move security reporting link to the bottom

thanks @RubenKelevra for this PR. can you explain why its best to have a separate repo for PGP keys rather than including it directly on the page? |
Sure. The idea is to make it harder for an attacker to modify the binary and the pgp key. If the pgp key is stored in a git on Github either Github itself would need to be compromised or the git needs to be modified, additionally to the webpage. |

What I did
— Remove non-working link to keybase.io
— Add key ID
— Add raw-link to the key file in pgp-keys

Why I did that
