Download this.

Install it ( MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE BOX THAT SAYS " GPA " WHEN IT GIVES YOU THE OPTIONS TO PICK WHATS INSTALLED )

Once its installed, run GPA.exe

You'll be prompted to enter your name and email ( use fake info, like your Username and a fake e-mail )

Then you'll be prompted to make a password ( use letters and numbers, WRITE IT DOWN SOMEPLACE SAFE )

Then You'll be prompted to backup your key. ( doesnt matter where you back it up )

Then your all set to send pgp messages.

Open up Wordpad. ( minimize it for a moment )

Go to the Vendor's page on silkroad, and find his " public pgp key " Copy the entire thing, and then paste it in word pad.

Save it as " Vendor Key.txt "

Now, go back to GPA, click " Import "

And then locate that " Vendor Key.txt "

Import it.

a box should show up saying something like " 1 key found, 1 key added to keyring " some bullshit like that.

Now, you'll notice under your key will be that vendors key aswell.

to send him a message, you click " Clipboard " type out your message, or address

Then click " Encrypt "

Then Click the vendor's key in the new window that pops up, Click okay.

The message should now look something like

Quote
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (MingW32)

And boom. there you go. You've successfully encrypted your message and its now safe to send that to the Vendor.

Poor guide, poor effort. Why would you tell a newbie to create a key but not tell them how to change the key length?
