I have transferred bitcoins to my sr account. What is the significance of the PIN when I come to order something? I have also installed Gpg4win and have generated my key. Now what do I do?, thanks.
-
the pin is used when you place an order so only you can make orders with your account
find what you want, add to cart, select shipping,update cart
find vendors public key copy and pasted in notebook program(windows 7) save their public key to desktop
open gpa, import public key from desktop, open clipboard in gpa program, type in address and message, click decrypt,chose the vendor you want to decryptit for,
copy and paste dcrypetd message into address box on your SR order and click send on your order
-
thank you for your efforts. this has helped, and I should be good to go with these steps.

Hi, i'm using kleopatra, and I copied their PGP key to a .txt file. It does not import it. What am I doing wrong? By notebook, do you mean notepad?
-
I'm making progress fast. I saved their key to a .txt file including the headers :) I choose Decrypt/Verify files from the kleopatra menu. I then got an output file with extension .out
Inside the file are the lines pub and sub. Which one of these am i interested in, or both?
-
yes ha its the notepad program my bad
use the program GPA to import public keys
GPA should have came with the download. dont worry to much about the other programs
Here is my public key if youd like to practice by sending me an encrypted message

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

This worked when I exchanged messages with a friend earlier. I get "no signatures found" in kleopatra, when i hit decrypt.
-
I have found a vendors email addy, from decrypting their key. Question is, how can I make my comms secure?
Would I send a message to them, putting my public PGP block at the bottom?
*update i got it. I encrypt the message from a text file, then just paste the garbled code into a message to them.
Is it strongly recommended to use PGP even on the SR order form?

You need your pin to make purchases. It'll ask you for it everytime
-
glad you got it ha. i caught on pretty fast too
use encryption anytime you talk or purchase anything on SR, most 'smart' vendors require that you use it
unless it is something legal. i bought cigarettes but i still used PGP. i dont want my address anywhere on that site
-
Just want to see if my key is linked to my profile here
-
Please help.. I'm trying to make purchase but forgot my pin.. how do I change it or get it?
