There is ABSOLUTELY NO security benefit to hiding the key ID. It only makes those trying to help you have a more difficult task. You signed an earlier message, anyone can get the key ID from that, 0x8E758D5F. > gpg: keyserver communications error: file read error > gpg: keyserver send failed: file read error" > > This happened with every keyserver I chose, so I don't think it is a > problem with keyserver, but with me. What exactly am I missing here? Do > you know? I know from the message you signed that you're running GnuPG 1.4.7. Are you by chance running Windows Vista? I so, you need to upgrade GnuPG to version 1.4.9. There's a bug in keyserver access for which the fix was committed a couple weeks after 1.4.7's release. 1.4.8 has a security issue fixed in 1.4.9. You may get the installer at ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.9.exe > And when I opened up my command prompt and typed in the command you > suggested, I got the reply that "pgp is not a valid internal or external ^^^ You typed pgp. The command is gpg. I even edited it for your keyID. Copy and paste the exact command gpg --keyserver keyserver.gingerbear.net --send-key 0x8E758D5F If gpg is not found on your path, it will be necessary to change to the directory where you installed GnuPG, usually C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPG > command".
