so i thought i had this all figured out
i followed all the steps below to a tee -
#######################################################
Go to the folder where it was installed and double-click 'gpa'.
NOW you're in business.
NEXT, go to your vendor's page and find his PUBLIC KEY; copy his PUBLIC KEY.
OPEN notepad on your computer.
PASTE the vendor's PUBLIC KEY in the notepad. Save it as "HOTSTUFF"; save this on your desktop.
GO BACK to gpa. Click IMPORT.
SELECT the HOTSTUFF.txt file from your desktop.
Click on CLIPBOARD.
A clipboard will open up.
TYPE your address.
CLICK ENCRYPT.
A menu will come up and you will see the PUBLIC KEY you just imported. Select this PUBLIC KEY.
Click OK.
Now your CLIPBOARD will be filled with funny letters.
COPY ALL THE FUNNY LETTERS AND SYMBOLS.
THIS IS YOUR ADDRESS, ENCRYPTED.
PASTE THE ENCRYPTED ADDRESS INTO THE ADDRESS FIELD WHEN YOU ARE MAKING THE PURCHASE WITH THAT VENDOR.
