A little bit more information as to where you're stuck would help us to help you.  Methods of obtaining BTC can vary depending upon what continent/country you're in.  The encryption software you use can vary with the OS you're using; how you use it can vary somewhat with which software you've chosen to use.

In the meanwhile, check out the Forum wiki [ dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ] and feel free to use the Seach function (top of each page) to locate subjects of interest.  Also, take a look at the "GPG (Step-by-Step: Windows Pictorial)" thread [ dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=131.0 ] in the Security sub-forum; it's specific to a particular OS (Windows) and application (Gnu Privacy Assistant) but should give you a general feel for the encryption/decryption process.  There's also a "Tutorial for SR (Secure OS, GPG, bitcoins, tips, useful tools, etc)" thread [ dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=9067.0 ] that has received good reveiws.
