Use Tails and you'll probably only need 5 min of exploring these forums to get it right.  Seems windows users have more trouble with PGP.  Stick with Tails/linux and things will get easy for you.  You can also configure Thunderbird to use your tormail account and with the enigmail add-on it make PGP encryption and signing almost point and click simple.  Switch to tails and you'lss never look back. 
It's not hard bro, stick it out and if you want to understand more than 90% of the vendors here grab a copy of Michael Lucas's book PGP and GPG for the practical Paraniod.  It's the bible and easy to read and implement.  Highly recomended.

yay, lol
not really dude, it ain't funny it's fucking pathetic!

Great another person with 500 Quid who can't take a few minutes to learn the easiest shit.  DO NOT BECOME ONE OF THOSE VENDORS WHO CAN'T USE PGP/GPG encryption correctly.  It is SIMPLE.   PLEASE!!!!      WTF is up with SR!!!!!!!!!!

I've got $$ tied up by a vendor who had a key posted, took my order with my properly encrypted address, and marked it in transit, and then PMed me to tell me he didn't kow how to use PGP and that I should use that JOKE KNOWN AS PRIVNOTE(the tool of SR Vendor bullies and Scammer Vendors)  Days later it is still marked in transit.

DO NOT OPEN A FUCKING ACCOUNT IF YOU CANT LEARN PGP.  WHY DOES THIS SHIT HAVE TO BE SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN!  RAISE THE FUCKING BOND TO 5000k.  SR IS TOAST!!


sorry for yelling I am just so sick of the stupidity!  THIS IS SERIOUS SHIT FOLKS.    at least this "vendor" claims to be waiting to put up his listings until he learns how to use PGP encryption.   First step,  Ditch windows and crApple

I don't car about friendly when it comes to this topic anymore and I COMMENDED YOU FOR NOT PUTTING UP ANY LISTINGS PRIOR TO LEARNIG PGP

That is why I said to re-read my post.  Rude maybe, loud yes,  true yes.  But You were doing the RIGHT in you reluctance to post listings prematurly and I stated so.  Ya I'm frustrated but understand why, This is not a game.  Anyway Best of luck to you in your new venture and don't be intimidated by PGP. Honestly I wish you the best of luck.

tottenham01 - i appreciate the dread of having to learn it, shit when i tried i needed a couple of aspirin before it was over - then someone gave me a basic "paint by the numbers" tutorial and then i found astor's tutorial - with either of those, it's a 15 minute affair

one thing to keep in mind, when you set up GPG4USB, you will end up generating a "key pair" consisting of a public key and a private key. When you comm with someone, they will need your public key to use to encrypt their msg to you, at their end - but only the private key you have in your computer will decrypt that msg. Similiarly, when you want to respond to them, you'll need their public key to encrypt the msg, that only they can decrypt at their end using their private key.

when someone gave me that synopsis, it all made sense

hope that helps

I just want to say - stick with it. I tried countless times to make it work on my glitchy system, and combined with having ADD it was quite difficult to sit myself down and work through all the bumps and error messages. I sought help from a computer master and together we figured out the workarounds to make it function properly on my computer, and I couldn't be happier.

Use Tails...
^ THIS ^
TAILS comes with all that crap pre-installed and pre-configured. Literally, all you do is:
Copy/Paste someone's PGP Public Key to a text file.
Open "Passwords and Encryption" and import said text file.

Now that you have their public key, to send someone an encrypted message:
Open "gedit" (the text editor)
Compose your message
Select "Encrypt" from the Edit Menu and choose their key.

You're done! No, seriously, that's it!
Use TAILS, it's easy and secure. Be smart. Play safe.

No problem>  I've offered before to many others and almost nobody has taken me up on it so if you're serious, I will help you just PM me and keep in mind that I don't live on here and can't keep tails plugged in too long :-/ but I'm around and will gladly help anyone with it.  I still recomend Mike Lucas's book called "PGP and GPG for the practical paranoid" for everyone but please do PM me if you want someone to bounce some emails against and make sure you've got it right.  The guy who mentioned about public keys and private keys def hit on the biggest begginer mistake which is encrypting something intended to be sent to another with ones own private key.  On the other hand if you ever get a PGP encrypted email and  you have to get online to get the key from a keyserver you've just recieved an email that was encrypted with the senders priv key instead of your public key which he/she could have got numerous places if you uploaded it etc.

Sorry for being harsh yesterday but If you want help, anyone of you, PM me and I'll get you up and running.  But def use tails:)

but stock is building up now so time to bite the bullet and get it sorted.

follow the instructions on it and if it works for you , then that's the one - personally i liked astor's better (  http://nd6ghkwc6ixlkosc.onion/gpg4usb/ )

for whatever reason, i couldn't get the GPG built into TAILS to work, kept getting error msg, so i installed GPG4USB into the persistent volume and use it from there - if you end up going that route, in the gpg4usb folder, clik on the "start_linux" icon, not the "start_windows" one - TAILS is linux, not windows

fwiw
