Are you using TAILS? It has PGP built in.

Yeah like dontek said, easiest why that I've found is to use Tail OS, the PGP is already setup, most of all you have to do is copy/paste keys etc.
There's a guide to intalling Tails on the forum and the manual inside the Tails OS explains how to use PGP.

Once you've got that sorted, there's a PGP thread where you can practice sending encryped messages to each other forum members.

I ordered 2 without using PGP, I put my address in the box. I thought SR was already safe with encryption. Have people been busted for not using PGP? I will focus on learning it before I order any more. I'll be nervous until my orders arrive.

Download GPG4win if you have windows. Open GPA after you complete the download, and it is basically the same setup as your PGP for tails  ;D

Just because your car has airbags doesn't mean you should drive around without your seatbelt on.
Check out TAILS for using SR. Comes with PGP built in. Very simple. Copy, Paste, highlight, Decrypt, Write Info, highlight, encrypt, copy, paste, done.
