Title: Anyone care to help me with PGP?
Post by: Gridlokk on August 28, 2013, 03:14 am
So ive been using SR for about 2 years now very frequently. I have never had any problems and i wish to keep it that way. Since ive started i have never used PGP. I have no idea where to start and how to go about it. Could you guys help? I need to learn it especially for my new method of aquiring BTC :)

Sure, no problem.

For starters, start off downloading GPG4WIN if you have windows

I'm confused with the whole PGP thing
do you use PGP for messaging in SR or is it for use in emailing?

thanks

Sure, no problem.

For starters, start off downloading GPG4WIN if you have windows

make sure to check the gpa box when downloading gpg4win, because you need it and its not selected by default.
