Re: [Merit] Hey Bitcoiners! Can You Send Encrypted Messages?
Although I have experience in verifying the signature of Electrum wallet I decided to create again new key pair and followed the tutorial made by @mdayonliner but this time I will be publishing it to the key server. However, I encountered some issues along the way when I was about to verify my public key on the key server even though I am sure that I clicked the "Upload Public Key To The Directory Service" and double checked it by right clicking on the PGP userID and selecting "Publish On Server"
I used the link on the tutorial and along with my fingerprint. Is there any alternative?

When I uploaded my key to a key server, the servers from Ubuntu, MIT and others all failed with the same error, though I could search for other people's keys. I uploaded mine at https://pgp.net.nz/, this key server is ran by a New Zealand domain registrar called InternetNZ. After a few hours my key mirrored to the other servers too and I could search for it there too.
I wonder how much resources it takes to run a PGP key server though. If it's a low resource thing this could be a nice project for me.

I've read an article where it says "The Death of SKS PGP Keyservers" due to people who are abusing the important public keys online.
Alas, the SKS server software being abandoned doesn't make me happy. Without maintainers a project can only run for so long
