Hi all,
 
just for fun. You can put up to 288 bytes in an X-Face header. If the
message is shorter than 288 bytes it will be padded with a checkerboard
pattern.

 
Nice.  Provided one had a public key system with keys less than 288
bytes, that could carry a public key for further comms (or for
authenticating the message contents).
 

Ed25519 pub keys are 32 hex bytes. I use my minicrypt and sv and sve with
friends for encryption/signing.
