Please send your key to a keyserver - there's no point signing emails if the 
reader cannot verify the signature by downloading your public key.
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-key 0x29D7378D

So you have this as the default key, that's OK.

It just means that you don't need to specify -r 29D7378D when you encrypt to 
anyone else.

You haven't signed this key with 0x29D7378D so gpg can't verify that this is 
the key that you say it is. (I can tell that because D6506963 is on the 
keyservers.)

IF you have verified the fingerprint with the user of D6506963, and checked 
the email address and photo ID, then sign the key and you'll be able to 
encrypt. Read about keysigning before making a public declaration that you 
have personally verified D6506963 by signing it.

Because only your own key is trusted so far.

Lack of trust in the other key.
