thanks, this makes a lot of sense but it still doesnt answer the main question. Where do i find the actual key? I messed around a bit and found that the 4424C645C99A4C29E540C26AAD7DB850AD9CFFAB is the fingerprint. I still cant find the actual key. I looked up online and it just says it is the key will be shown like: 2048R/0B2B9B37 but i cant find something like that when i do gpg --list-keys

You mean the key files? It is usually in "~/.gnupg/" directory or other location that "gpg -K" will tell you. You can also export the public-private key pair in ASCII armored file like shown here.
