Title: To all MAC users:
Post by: chronicpain on June 26, 2011, 01:09 am
I am a mac man. From day one (downloading TOR) to trying to get the GPG working, I had nothing but issues. I spent days trying to figure shit out. Tor was pretty easy, but  I have windows on my mac, so today, I opened up my pc (via bootcamp) IT took me 1/2hr to set up tor and get the keys running fine.

My advise would be to bag the mac and run the pc if you are going to use GPG and TOR. Wish I would have done it sooner. Life is sooo much better..

I dunno, I use OSX on my mac and run tor and GnuPG/MacGPG2 perfectly fine :D

were you guys going thru the terminal? Thats was the only way I could get it to work. When I loaded up the pc on bootcamp, it just seemed 1k times easier. on the mac, I had gpg keychain access and the dropdown thing. Sometimes I was able to download someones key just fine, others I had no idea what I was doing wrong. IF I could download the key to the keychain just fine, then I wouldn't have any issues. I would export the .txt file to a asc file. It worked a few times.

But with the pc, It has worked flawlessly.
