coldcore config file setup

[GreenmanPGI]

I get this error below. I have gnuPG installed. I have created a key. I think it wants me to set default-key in gpg.conf but I don't know where gpg.conf is located on my system.

? do you want to use GPG to encrypt your coldcore config? [y/N] y

? where should I store your config? [/home/xxxx/.config/coldcore/config.ini.gpg]

? Are you sure you want to overwrite the existing file at /home/xxxx/.config/coldcore/config.ini.gpg? [y/N] y
-- Creating blank configuration at /home/xxxx/.config/coldcore/config.ini.gpg

Thanks for the report @GreenmanPGI. I have seen this as well on macOS; in general, GPG is very finicky to work with and their CLI is not very friendly for password-based encryption. I'm thinking about retiring raw GPG functionality in favor of a very simple Python-based implementation of AES.

That sounds like a good idea. I really like this project and would like to help. I'm not much of a programmer but I can write documentation. I'm running a Raptor computer (PPC) and coldcore is one of the few programs that will run on PPC. (Specter desktop will not...at least not yet)
