Title: Nube regret over unencrypted address...
Post by: Authentique Core on April 07, 2013, 08:43 pm
Hi i just wanted to share my nube dumbness.
I've been purchasing on SR for like a year now.
I got into the habit of "privnote" for my small personal orders.
I had worked out gpg and encryption initially, then all of a sudden there was a problem i couldnt figure out:
something like my key wouldn't be available for encrypting, i forgot (again nube brain be gone)
So I started using privnote to send my address.

Well ystrdy i bought some liquid lsd and this vendor does not accept privnote. Feeling eager I went ahead and just sent my name and address without being encrypted.

This was for two full vials.

Is there enough pity on this Nube for someone to tell my briefly the terrible dangers in putting out an unencrypted address. Also, what are the assurances?

Please forgive these horrible, horrible nube questions.

if they ever somehow found the server where ever the fuck in the world it is, your address might be on there once.  along with shit tons of others.  don't worry about it and use gpg for now on.

I'm a vendor..The address is deleted once the order is marked as sent. The only time it is on the server is the time the vendor needs to read it. Once the vendor marks it as sent, it's gone off the server, encrypted or not

hope that help
