To get Launching the command "gpg --recv-key 4A80EB23" (http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ReplicantReleaseKey) does not give any answer.
Using web interface neither (http://keys.gnupg.net/).

Works for me.

It works for me too:

gpg --recv-key 4A80EB23 
gpg: requesting key 4A80EB23 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
gpg: key 4A80EB23: "Replicant project release key <contact@replicant.us>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
h3. gpg:              unchanged: 1

Fil, you might need to try a command which selects a different key sever:

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 4A80EB23
gpg: requesting key 4A80EB23 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: key 4A80EB23: "Replicant project release key <contact@replicant.us>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

Using the web interface of pgp.mit.edu:

http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x16D1FEEE4A80EB23

you can copy the key in a local file replicant.pub:

http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x16D1FEEE4A80EB23

and import it in your key ring:

gpg --import replicant.pub
gpg: key 4A80EB23: "Replicant project release key <contact@replicant.us>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

PS To help you, I'm also attaching the replicant.pub here, you can compare it with the one from the key server and use it if it's the same.

Thank you, using a specific server (pgp.mit.edu) make it works even if default one bugs.
The public key also is the same, thank you.

Closing since it appears to be a transient error from the server:

Since keys.gnupg.net does not seem available annymore, we should modify the doc thinking about a way to anticipate a server could disappear.

I suggest replacing `keys.gnupg.net` by KEY_SERVER with a parenthesis giving an example (`keys.openpgp.org` for instance), and explaining how to find another server if the example server disappears.

Here are pages where keys.gnupg.net is found:
- doc * Prebuilt app : https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/SourceCode#Prebuilt-apps * Release key : https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ReleaseKey

- this ticket

- forum (author can edit message with a warning, anyone add a message at the end, or an moderator can edit the initial message) * topic https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/15/topics/15110 (https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/15/topics/15110?r=15689#message-15689, https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/15/topics/15110?r=15685#message-15685, https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/15/topics/15110?r=15683#message-15683) * https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/3/topics/11235 * https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/3/topics/11235

Would it make the doc ok for you?
