I just created a new primary key and subkeys, and uploaded them to
keyservers. Then I exported my public key in ascii-armor, and copied
that file to my website. I noticed that the very last few characters
were different from what the keyservers had. Each version begins the
same, but somewhere they end up different. Did I mess something up?
Should I be worried about this?

You can compare the two here:

At the top of this link is my uploaded public key:
http://keyserver.gingerbear.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=rick+valenzuela&fingerprint=on&op=index

(It is also different at pgp.mit.edu, and at
http://sks-keyservers.net/status)

The public key as I exported it from the command line is here:

Any help would be appreciated.

Best,
Rick
