[GeneralQuestions] PGP Key

I don't mean to be a noob. I'm not really but this may be a noob question. If have a PGP key of an evo vendor can he revieve messages to the PGP key? Or is that just like the actual encryption itself? I know you can set it to a fake email but figured someone would know

: copy your vendors pgp key to notepad, save as whatever, and import to your pgp software.

: open new file and type out your message in notepad, copy to clipboard.

: open pgp software and encrypt your message with his key

: your encrypted message is now in your clipboard, so paste it into a pm on the market and it should look kinda like this.

It's just the encryption.

You use the seller's Public Key to encrypt a message that only they can decrypt using their matching Private Key. In the other direction, the Vendor would use your Public Key from your profile to encrypt their response, which only you can decrypt using your own Private Key.

Make sense?

How you get the message to them, would be the seller's choice. They would either be contacted by anonymous email, or though the market somehow. Follow their instructions, and be sure to encrypt; or you will definitely not receive a response.

Ah, I think I know what you are saying. And the answer is no - the PGP key isn't a transport mechanism or anything like that. When you use the public key to encrypt something, it simply outputs it to a file or clipboard, etc but it doesn't actually send anything (irrespective of if the email used is legit or not). You still need to take the output of the encryption and do something with it (send a message via a market or use an email client and paste it there). Hope that helped.

Okay, but see the market is Evo and we all know how that goes. I'm trying to get back in contact. Any suggestions?

Are you asking is if vendors can view a PGP message you sent to them from anywhere? They can only view that message where you sent it to. So since evo is gone, they won't be able to see old pg. messages.
