You should upload your key to the kerservers, as I can't validate
this message without your key, and if your key were on the servers
then my mail client would have downloaded it automatically.

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-key 0xYOURKEYID

Try subkeys.pgp.net as a keyserver for requesting keys as well.

Then sign other people's keys when you meet them and verify their
identity.

It depends what you use it for..

Cheers,
Andy
