We should be able to force others to use PGP when communicating with us.

I set my PGP, communicate only with PGP (even if I just ask questions), but vendors reply me in plaintext most of the time.

I really don't want LE to have the oportunity to read a message saying something like: "Your heroin is on its way, thanks for buying from us"

Don't give me the "as long as your address is encrypted" BS because: 1. My user could be deanonymised, but if all my messages were encrypted they wouldn't know what I had bought. 2. I could have bought from 300 vendors and only one of them had been compromised. If everyone encrypts, they can prove one purchase, at most. If all of them confirm and give information in plain text I would be in serious trouble.

Yes, I've tried to ask others to use PGP with me, but they ignore it most of the time.

So if PGP is so extremely hard to learn to make it mandatory (this is also BS, if markets had it people would learn it in a few days), then at least give me an option to refuse non-PGP communication.

I would really like to have the ability to nuke all past information from a completed order.

I'm sorry to say that I'm amongst those vendors who only encrypt critical messages. Main reason is it's a a PITA to encrypt on most markets and even tough it wouldn't be hard to implement some changes they don't give a fuck about it.

Problems on EVO:

Most of these problems would be easy to solve,

These would help a lot. Proper tools to encrypt / decrypt / manage keys locally would also help.

Is it not possible to include your pgp key in the encrypted message you send to the vendor?
