I am a bit cautious about key uploading on servers, at least until I feel more comfortable and competent with gpg commands and concepts. I once created a key with some PGP program which automatically was uploaded to some keyserver. I lost the private key part and this key is doomed on keyserver for eternity. For such reasons, I like to experiment with BL which does not sync with other public servers. > >> Are there any other drawbacks of Biglumber? > >Biglumber is not really a keyserver.

Yeah, it does not support hkp protocol but that is not an issue for me at the moment. I just see some advatages of BL like key signing announcements and key replacements as a big plus for me in the beginning. Some time in future I will move on to public servers. But now it seems biglumber is my choice. cheers. -- Realos _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
