Title: PGP vs PRIVNOTE PLEASE HELP NEW VENDOR!
Post by: RxKing on April 17, 2012, 11:41 am
Hello everyone,

Can someone tell me why I need a PGP? Can't people just privnote with me? So far I have had no problems. And I see some very successful sellers that say there is no need since SR encrypts on the way in and out. And Privnote seems to work a lot easier.

Sorry for the lame question but I have searched and found nothing.

Thanks :)

SR stores things on an encrypted virtual drive at best, which is essentially worthless because if they trace or hack the server they can still get the drives key from memory (either by dumping it to a forensic laptop, or accessing it after rooting the server). privnote is equally worthless, although for different reasons.

LOL What a great response! I love it so both are worthless?  ;D


Even if others disagree with you I love that is the first response I got. 100% truthful Thanks! Had a good laugh...
