Title: New User, how to make the first purchase?
Post by: HarL0ck on October 31, 2012, 10:53 pm
hello brothers, I am a New User ...
and I'm with a doubt,
already sent three messages to three vendors, and neither one of them answered me = \
maybe they will be unable to decrypt my message.
or shall they did not answer me. because I am newbie?

can someone send me a mensgem using PGP, for me test

You don't need to message a vendor first to make a purchase. Just add something to your cart, input your pgp-encrypted address and click order.

Unless you are ordering huge amounts, there is no need for PGP imo except when you are obfuscating personal information. It is unnecessary imo, and if they are busy they just won't bother.

You can test your PGP message on yourself. Encrypt a message like "hello world" using your public key, then decrypt it using your public key. There is also a thread dedicated to your request in the security subforum.

also another thing, when you are a newbie some vendors might not even bother with you, my suggestion is to keep posting and just keep working on getting your karma up and become a trusted member and vendors might pay more attention to you, best of luck
