Hash: RIPEMD160
 
1. Why is it using RIPEMD160, when my preference is SHA256?

Before, it even had the order of SHA1, SHA256, RIPEMD160. Is it a
limitation of the key? If so, which hash do you recommend (I doubt
I'll be signing anything big)?

2. How do I make the key ID "Andrew Berg" mean my newer key for this
address instead of my older one (bahamut at madhatt.com)?
