Title: Worried. Didn't use PGP.
Post by: Haulting on August 02, 2013, 04:46 pm
SWIM placed an order a few days ago before SWIM knew about PGP. SWIM just wrote my address in the box. Is this bad?

note: It was a very small order, and first purchase.

If at all possible is there any links that will help me in the future with PGP.
Thanks.

Here's a guide on how to use.

Just ask any questions if you need to.

If you're not using it already, I would highly recommend using gpg4usb (here's where you can download it: http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/). It's SO much more intuitive than the other options in my opinion.

You're probably ok, but be sure to learn and use PGP before you place another order!

PGP is an encryption software used to encrypt personal info like addresses and names makin' it to where only the receive can translate the message and that's it. It makes it to where if silkroad becomes hacked by LE or if LE or hacker gets access to your account, your. address will not just be in plain view. It makes your info secure. So yeah, it's definately useful. Most people use it.
