Don't understand why I can't identify

Well, try to at least answer the question it asks, not the one you think it asks. Other than that, waiting a couple of days sometimes helps.

Thanks @dloser I think actually this is a matter of time. I’ll be back ;)

I’ve tried a few things, first obvious, then even going as far as holding my thumb against the textarea to get a good scan of my ‘thumbprint’

Tried waiting a few days, tried using the steps in the Privacy guide..

I’ve got a 3000-some bit key… is it looking for 4096 bits specifically?

i upload my public key to pgp.mit.edu
but also not working

any hint for solving this challenge
iam not getting any idea

hmm. same problem??? i am stuck. i waited for 2 days. but no reply.

i also wrote the pub_key of mine in the who are u.
i tried my id or e mail of the key.. but key not found is replied… so bad..

i also uploaded the key in sever(that server is same as the key of previous unknown sender is located.

hmm. after that. what can i do ?? just wait ?? ^^.

thanks.

Have been waiting for 2 days already… How long can it take?

Alex - I put this on the shelf for 5 months since life got a little busy, came back today, and it worked.
So… the answer is somewhere between 2 days and 5 months.

I see, I guess I’ll wait a couple of days then. Thanks for this post guys!

@luxedo, FYI I uploaded just yesterday and now see a pgp message, so less than 24 hours for the wait.
However I’m getting a decryption error saying that the secret key is not found (although its there), any ideas?

Regarding the identity:

You should indicate the full id of the sender (name + email) like how it appears when you list the keys

Just completed the challenge with the help of a fellow member. I wanted to give few more hints for those who are stuck (90%!).

You can complete the challenge by just using web tools and https://pgp.key-server.io/ seems faster than the other website (less than 10min delay)

Thanks a lot! It worked perfectly first time!
