Hey everyone. So I've figured out how to use the whole encrypting thing. I know how to import a vendor's thing and make a message. My question is how/where would I put my public key so that I can communicate with the vendor? That's how it works right? I'm still kinda fuzzy on it.

Has the vendor asked for it? Generally only you the buyer is sending sensitive info ie your address. If they do want it to send you encrypted you can just msg it to them

hey,
how to obtain public key. open GPG Keychain Access window:
1) find your own name on the list.
2) click it (highlight) and press ctl + C (copy)
3) when you press ctl + V (paste) your public key will appear
whenever i send a encrypted message i paste my Public Key underneath.
hope this helps.

How many times has a vendor encypted a msg to you nassy?

in regard to trades a bunch of times. sometimes not sensitive info. but the more i use it it 's becoming second nature. understand what your sayin though.
not been on too long but once i got to grips with it (which took a lil while) i use it as often as possible. so maybe it's just a newbie thing.
