I have seen the light but....

I have everything set up, tails, bitcoin, tumble them too, made an account on alphabay but one thing I can't figured out PGP, yes I used Google but it's usually directed to other services such as cleopatra and g4gu (something like that) I want to learn how to encrypt messages using gedit (or seahorse). Farthest I gone was setting up a pgp public key and as well as obtaining vendor pgp key. MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU ENCRYPT PGP MESSAGES WHILE USING TAIL? (YES I'M A NEWBIE) (thanks for the help! Was really frustrated trying to learn lol have a good one y'all)

EDIT: Shoutouts

I use pgp4usb from a usb stick and it is super easy to use...never used other software

It guides you through the process with pictures. Doesn't get easier than that

Here's a good step by step for using the Tails PGP app:

  1. Copy/paste vendors key to text editor and save file to desktop.
  2. Click on the clipboard, mange keys, click GnuPG keys, then from the file menu dropdown import, click saved file, to import key.
  3. Open text editor, type message/address that you want to encrypt, highlight the message, then click on the clipboard, then sign/encrypt with public keys.
  4. The encrypted message is now ready to be pasted to the messgae you're sending to the vendor.

I like to fancy myself to be pretty intelligent and halfway computer savvy, but it took me about a week to get it down. Isn't there a practice sub-reddit with a bunch of public keys? That's how I got comfortable sending messages, the random people I contacted just sent me back "you can encrypt decrypt now!". They were pretty nice about it, just get some practice until you are comfortable, don't rush it I know I was anxious to get it learned so I could order asap.

Oh yeah, depending on how much and why, and if the rest of your opsec is tight, I was told by the mods in DNMNoobs that tails isn't really necessary. Personal orders really don't need much more than Tor+secure email+pgp= LE probly won't give a fuck enough to go through your computer if you get caught ordering a gram of weed or a couple crack rocks
