Read this:

http://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/wiki/guides/multiplayer_dreams_/guide_1

and ALWAYS read the vendor's profile page to see if they have any special instructions and just for information so you can avoid any confusion or mistakes when placing an order with them.

Oh, and there are a lot of places to get bitcoins.  Bitinstant, Campbx, Coinbase, Coinsintocash, Localbitcoins, etc.

^I think that's the hardest part right now. 

There is a wealth of information here on the forums.  You just have to read!  :)

Hey friend welcome to the revolution! Listen, do LOTS of studying on pgp encryption and vendor stats before you purchase. It protects everybody. Here's some tips though since I'm only 10 months old and still learning each day.

1. PGP Encryption is essential for your privacy! I use GPG4Win(downloadable online) and it's fairly simple to learn if you understand what pgp encryption is for. You can youtube it and there are a few guys who lay out how to use it pretty well. I know there are other options for simpler software. Tails is one i think?

2. Read these forums. The guys in here are very helpful and always seem eager to answer questions and help. Scout is a member here and is always willing to help noobs with figuring out pgp.

3. Be patient. This site will teach you patience you've never known. LOL.

Good luck! If you have any other questions you can always pm me and I'll help! But I'm still learning too!

Ryno

You never "need" PGP.  PGP is just important if anything happens.  You should be using PGP if anything in the messages is personally identifying.  Like addresses and names and accounts etc...

PGP is easy to set up and use, it's a shame that everybody still isn't using it.

Hell I thought it would be easy, but for some reason Windows 7 uses PGP 9.12 version and I googled it and only found one site that sells it

Whats the difference between PGP and GPG ?
Title: Re: Can someone teach me to do this
Post by: trsna on August 03, 2013, 04:41 am
GPG is an independant implementation of the OpenPGP standards.
