Sorry, I wasn't clear. I use last pass to transfer my private key to the PGP app on my iPad (and elsewhere) (as opposed going through Dropbox or whatever).

Relies upon trusting last pass and trusting the iPad of course, both of which are questionable.

My friend's computers don't have PGP installed. Neither do "surf terminals". I certainly cannot install PGP there.

Everything that requires some special software to run is a non-starter.
