I think it´s good to distribute a key thru several channels, keys.openpgp.org is a good way to establish some trust in a key when fetching it for the first time. Afterwards you can still get the same key from a different source with WoT signatures added. If you have no fountain at all for a key to establish a chain(web) of trust, keys.openpgp.org is the only way to have some trust in a key. The WoT works only if you have some fountain for the trust. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
