# Adding a Discourse proof
Let's add a decentralized Discourse proof to your OpenPGP keys.
[[toc]]
## Update the Discourse account
Log in to the discourse instance website and add the following text to your **About me** (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
This is an OpenPGP proof that connects my OpenPGP key to this Discourse account. For details check out https://keyoxide.org/guides/openpgp-proofs
[Verifying my OpenPGP key: openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT]
```
After posting, copy the link to your profile page (it should end with your **/u/USERNAME**).
## Update the PGP key
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
`gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT`
Add a new notation:
`notation`
Enter the notation (make sure to replace PROFILE_URL with the link to the profile copied above):
`proof@metacode.biz=PROFILE_URL`
Save the key:
`save`
Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to [keys.openpgp.org](https://keys.openpgp.org) (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
`gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys FINGERPRINT`
And you're done! Reload your profile page, it should now show a verified Discourse account.
