Market suggestion - no more auto encrypt feature

Auto encrypt should be considered a honeypot vector and nothing else.

The alternative for some is no encryption at all, auto encryption is better than nothing. A warning would be useful though

Maybe even check if the message is pgp encrypted, and warn the user and/or don't send the message

Data must be encrypted while you are still the only entity that knows about it. If not you may as well post it on your Facebook wall. Any market that implements autopgp is showing you that they don't understand encryption well enough to be running a market. They are asking for your trust which in this game means you will get burned; It's just a matter of time. We invented PGP and Bitcoin and all of this so we wouldn't have to trust anyone anymore. We invented escrow so we wouldn't have to trust sellers and then multisig so we wouldn't have to trust markets. Why are we hamstringing ourselves by using all this tech incorrectly? We are sleeping walking into prison.

We have to look after the members who were always 100% positive about auto-encryption. Dont trust them

At the very least, do it on the client side rather than the server side. Internet off, Javascript on, encrypt, Javascript off, internet on, send.

No market should provide auto encrypt and you shouldn't be able to buy if you're address isn't encrypted. Plain and simple, if you can't meet the encryption requirements you have no business on the market.

I don't mean to kick people when they're down but I cannot believe anyone was naive enough to use this "feature".
