Nice. I tried yesterday and couldn't find it (didn't read any guide) so I sent my address without PGP :/ Today I read a tutorial here and found out I had installed it without GPA (it seems it's not checked by default on the installer?)

I experienced for myself how hard it is as a digibethic (if you know what I mean) to figure out all the Tor, PGP and Bitcoin stuff.

That's why I have a link to the PGP way of working on my vendor page.

I hear ya, bro. It's quite the quest. Sorry I couldn't be of help before!
Good to hear you figured it out by yourself!

Grats :) Once you get the hang of it you will realize how easy it really is :P

- Download & install gpg/pgp. Don't forget to set up the shortcuts in your keyboard
- Generate your own private key
- Save vendor public key in a text file and import it
- Write a message in your text editor of choice
- Encrypt it with earlier imported vendor key
- Profit.

Good luck to the rest ;)

I truly salute you! PGP is not rocket science and anybody who has the patience and the ability to read and surf the net can figure it out. There are a multitude of guides out there and many vendors are willing to give tips to people who are struggling with the concept.

Good job!

Nice vendor page, Gil!

Thanx for appreciating!

No problem! I love when vendors take the time to have a FAQ or readme. It saves both parties a lot of time (naturally, if the user takes the time to read them) :)

It is really easy to use, especially if you're using the GUI program. The command line stuff can be annoying to newbs though.
