I was on the btcarmory.com site and tried to pull up the signing key link

https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?search=goatpig

and it keeps saying "bad request"

What am I doing wrong?
go to https://github.com/goatpig, have a little look through the folders and you'll find goatpig's key somewhere there (I just don't remember where exactly it is, probably in the Armory repo though). This is no more and no less secure a way of obtaining goatpig's key than using a keyserver.
This'll be the one: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/blob/master/PublicKeys/goatpig-signing-key.asc

there's been an issue with the way key servers work discovered just a few months ago, a DoS style problem.


It shouldn't stop you from just downloading goatpig's (or anyone's) key, but it's possible that ubuntu have decided to change the way their keyserver works, and you're trying during some downtime or an issue they can't fix, etc etc. Some people shut their keyserver and are exclusively using openpgp.org as a keyserver, possibly some people kept their keyservers up, don't know exactly how the dust settled tbh

Link of screen shot is

That's the website server's response to invalid url or something..

You just have to browse to the main page (https://keyserver.ubuntu.com) and search for the signing key.
or complete the url by adding &fingerprint=on&op=index = https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?search=goatpig&fingerprint=on&op=index

Where did you get that URL, BTW?
