So haven't been on SR in a while ...  n when I logged in I went into that warning about the feds n tormail ... so my question is ...is it safe to purchase from sr n writing my address with privnote instead of pgp or whatever .... I never have used it because I never under stood it .... so I always use prinote . . Should I be ok ? Sorry for my english ...

I think its safer to use PGP, this vid explains how to use it in 10 minutes:

Ya, privnote was not really all that safe even before the Freedom Hosting takedown, and it's no more (or less) safe now.

Assume "no, I should not use Privnote instead of PGP"  unless you are somehow able to explain to someone else why Privnote would be more secure than using PGP.

When I see threads like this I don't know if I should want to help the OP, because I don't want people to get caught and bring attention to SR, or if I should ignore it because if OP is too stupid and oblivious to use the search or even read one of the many threads explaining not to use privnote and to learn PGP, than they deserve to be caught. Like darwinism...

Although I'm not entirely sure if he's not a troll.
