So ive been in contact with medibuds since middle earth went down. Ive never ordered from him but was just getting ready to. I went through the same unable to verify pgp bs so i sent him a message encrypted with the key he created in 2013 and asked him to respond with a encrypted message. And He did. Which i could decrypt and read. Safe or no? Just wanted to give the community a little more info.
Thought: i would find it a little strange if it turned out not to be him, most big vendors have either set up direct deals or moved to Nucleus. At least let their customers no whats going on. If it isnt medi, it would mean we havnt heard from him since middle earth went down which would be a little strange.
People need to just stop the FUD, it's Medibuds, end of story.
