OpenPGP VS OpenPGP Keyserver

You're trusting the service (openpgp.org seems to be the only server offering this?) to serve up your correct key. Source: almost 2 years ago

Hello, I used openpgp.org to create a set of pgp keys, and I tested them out and all is well. I went to a web site and uploaded my pub key fine, but now it asks for a Verification Code/Key? What is that, and how do I get that off my newly created PGP keys? Thanks. Source: over 2 years ago

Not sure, but it looks like keys.openpgp.org is up. I found a keyserver still running where I could find my public key (this one: http://pgp.mit.edu/) and uploaded it to the openpgp.org one. This seems rather recent; there's a related post on r/GnuPG. Source: almost 3 years ago

Anyways; it looks like openpgp.org is trying to get on the right side of these crowds ... Source: almost 3 years ago

The signature works fine over HTTP/FTP because it needs to be combined with a public key you already have (e.g. a distro package manager will already have the public key for all the packages), or a public key you will go get from a different source, e.g. https://sks-keyservers.net, and it's hard for a middle-man to compromise both. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Yes, but I am asking if the reasons for shutting down https://sks-keyservers.net were valid. So far I have not seen any reasonable discussion. Source: over 2 years ago

I noticed that I could not search on the server in Kleopatra. So I went to the page https://sks-keyservers.net/ and was struck by the header message:. Source: almost 3 years ago

I can't find any reliable keyservers since sks-keyservers.net was taken down yesterday. Source: almost 3 years ago
