Title: messaging vendors - do i need to use pgp?
Post by: semolinaz on August 09, 2013, 02:36 pm
As the title suggests - when i message a vendor within SR about selling someting to me - ie will they or wont they as it's my first time - should i use pgp to do this ? Or is pgp just used for important stuff like addresses etc.

thanks

You don't need to encrypt every message, but you might want to encrypt your address so only the vendor can see it.

It wastes vendors' time if you encrypt every message, even when they don't have personal information in them.
