When you create a key with gpg you are asked to create a revoke cert.
(see gpg man)

To create a revoke certification: gpg
 --gen-revoke xxxxxxx at domain.xx;

choose option 1 and something like 'passphrase lost or key has been
compromised'
Then keep it in a safe place.

As you lost the private keys, you are lost.. can't create a revoke cert.

Enigmail has much more options to manage pgp keys.

Usually subkeys.pgp.net and keyserver.kjsl.com are fine.

Now I've found your key at subkeys.pgp.net, and signature verifies.
