Title: PGP Key information Questions.
Post by: ecstasydude on March 22, 2012, 06:08 pm
Hi, and thank you for showing me the way to SR. I am new to the website, and would really like to learn more and more.

There is allot of people helping out in the forums, allot of guides for help, again Thank You SR community.

Help a newbie out, with few questions, Please.

#1. Does using the PGP key encryption software, Necessary in order to order products from vendors?

#2 Is it a MUST, that I use the encryption software? (I must fallow all rules on SR)
or do I have a choice to talk to vendors without using the encryption service?

#3 Will ANY vendor allow me to order with out the encryption service?

I know its foolish to reveal my ID on SR. Rather be safe then sorry, I guess.  :-X

Thanks

I'm sure there are sellers who don't require it, but it's easy enough, and protects you in case SR gets compromised, so why wouldn't you
