    I tried, but no success, look:

    .... $sudo apt-key adv --keyserver archive.hivemind.me --recv-keys 3C962022012520A0 Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver archive.hivemind.me --recv-keys 3C962022012520A0 gpg: requesting key 012520A0 from hkp server archive.hivemind.me ?: archive.hivemind.me: Connection refused gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: Connection refused gpg: no valid Open

Run the following in your terminal,

 sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3C962022012520A0 
 sudo apt-get update

References: How do I fix the GPG error "NO_PUBKEY"?

You need to replace the key (3C962022...) with the one that is displayed in the error message in the terminal.

When you add a third-party repository, you should also add its key to your system. The public key is a string which identifies that certain repository. You can find some more information on this and how to add the key here.
