Does anyone know if it is safe to use my personal email (with name and everything) for generating my PGP keys? I'm not a vendor of course.

The whole point of PGP is for security, why would you want your direct name to be associated with that? Just use a fake email, it serves no purpose if you're just making purchases

Just make a @safe-mail.net

If you don't have a lelantos or safe-mail as BaileyJay mentioned that you might want to use for darknet contact just leave it blank/random. Habit is to use your market handle as the name, but that's not required either.

you don't need to enter a real email address. i've seen vendors that use something like whatever@whatever.com. there's nothing in the protocol that checks to make sure your email is valid.
