I ran into a vender I wanna order from but for some reason I can't see his PGP key.
Vender has great feedback. Do some venders wait for you to order to give you their pgp key I feel like im missing something.. Messaged vender but no response. Entering my personal info with no pgp key is obviously out of the question.

bump

He appears to have removed his PGP key, if I were you I'd just PM him.
-
Seems strange that there's a section for his key, but it's not there. I'd be cautious if I were you, it seems like you've done what you need to so far. Just wait to see if he'll respond and send you his key.
-
Thanks, i found it weird too.
Maybe hes just taking a break to re-up. idk
-
PM him. The key probably has expired...
-
Maybe he just doesn't have a PGP key? Not every vendor has one, and some vendors dislike it.
-
I have come across another vendor without PGP key - http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/bdcca291e9
Also cant seem to find anything on these forums about the vendor either.... seems pretty dodgy to me, considering they have been a vendor for a year but have only completed 2 transactions....?
-
If the vendor returns with a new key and is unable to sign the new key with the old one, then I would not order from them.
It is better to wait it out and see some reviews roll in before deciding to try the vendor out again.

Personally, I avoid vendors without PGP. The Tormail thing only serves to reinforce my paranoia. I trust only myself...

I feel exactly the same!! Thank god I didnt use tormail

Yes... there is alot of choice on SR, so you can afford to choose the vendor who uses GPG.
It *hopefully* indicates that they take security seriously...
