need some help

Is it bad to have my real name tied to my GPG encryption system? I'm rather new to this encryption but I've been able to successfully communicate to two vendors. However they have no reason to respond back. Is that why it is okay?

ps sorry im barred atm thank you

I do not understand the question at all. Why are you using your real name with anything besides giving your shipping info?

Your public key is public and anyone who imports your key into the manager will be able to see the name you wrote. If you want more anonymity you could put your username instead, but it shouldn't matter much unless you have a very rare name.
