Re: [Sks-devel] Request for SKS gossip peers

[Andreas Thulin]

Hi!

Thanks for good advice, I'll get back on getting a dump immediately. Trouble is I tried and failed a couple of times with building the DB, and the sks binary doesn't really give any useful feedback on what I'm doing wrong. 

Would you say an e-mail to the sks devel sendlist explaining my predicament could be one way of getting further in the process?

Best regards,

Andreas

Okay, I see the server up now, but it only has 6 keys, total, instead of
3.1 million keys.  This causes problems for your peers, because the
reconciliation protocol is not efficient given so great a discrepancy.

I *seriously* recommend that you take a look at that page and get a
keydump loaded.
