Title: seller gave me his private key?
Post by: abdisamad on June 26, 2013, 09:19 pm
seller has his PRIVATE key on his seller page. Doesn't that defeat the point of encryption?

Yes! You should warn him of this immediately!

I would also not order from said seller because I wouldn't want to trust someone so inexperienced with encryption with one of my drops (and most certainly not my own information, though I wouldn't trust anyone on here with that).

I informed the vendor, and suggested they create a new keypair.

I get buyers sending me their private keys all the time, but a vendor... I would hate to make that mistake.
