Title: Sending messages on SR... PGP help
Post by: the hawk on May 15, 2012, 06:47 pm
OK, this is probably going to sound dumb... retarded even. But I don't understand the whole PGP key thing and I want to message a seller before I buy something as I am new here and it will be my first purchase and I want it to go smoothly and with good communications. Can I not just message the seller directly through SR securely?

Can somebody please shed some light on this for me as this sort of thing tends to confuse me quite easily and I can see myself compromising either my or the sellers anonymity.


Thanks in advance.

 :)


P.S Sorry if this is in the wrong section :-\

Yeah I tried a few instructional videos on PGP, but I've always had a bit of a problem with technical stuff and so far have had no luck in understanding any of the computer jargon. It took me long enough to figure out the Bitcoin side of things so with any luck I sould have figured out the PGP bit by 2037 ;D
