I know: it can seem like a pain, but it's not that hard. Reason a lot of guys don't jump on to help, as we'd have to post so much...like work :) First you need to download the gpg stuff, then make your private (and public key), then you post your public key on here, and I'll send you a message, and include, *my* public key, so you can send me one...There is a good tutorial on here, maybe you didn't see it?: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=131.0 (It's a sticky at the top of the security forums) Or you can do what I did the first time, go here: http://www.gpg4win.org/
And download and run it. You'll need either GPA or Kleopatra, either will do. I prefer GPA myself, but you can use Kleopatra.
You download and run it, and the first thing it will ask: is do you want to make a private key?
You'll want to make a really good password, and that key will also include a *public* key, which is what you post. You use *your* private key to decrypt messages I send you, with the public key you will post. We actually have a page where a lot of people post their public keys. Your public key is what the rest of the online world uses to send you encrypted messages, which you will decrypt with your private key.
To send me or anyone else a message, you will need our public keys.
The site I gave you also has what I thought was a good tutorial along with the download. If you can get tor figured out to get on this site, believe me, you can figure out how to use pgp also. Once you get it, it will seem really cool.
So, your mission is to download pbp4win, then make your keypair, then post your public key on here and I'll send you an encrypted message which you can then decrypt. Yeah, I had to study it a lot a few months ago myself, then a lite came on, and I saw the genius of it...it's fun...you can pm me if it gets weird, or you don't want to post your public key on here.
have fun :)
