Title: Vendors that don't use PGP
Post by: piffdiddy on July 12, 2013, 05:45 pm
Hi,

I'm interested to know if people think it's a bad idea to order from vendors that don't use PGP. The vendor in question, Dispater, is a top 3% seller but isn't currently using PGP-- he recommends privnote.

Is it safe to order using privnote? Or should I look elsewhere?


thanks

Vendors who don't use PGP are ridiculous. He seems legit, it's just stupid that he can't take (literally 10 seconds) to open PGP and decipher.. It's so simplistic that if a vendor doesn't use it, I don't buy from them. I can only imagine where else they slack, stealth, etc.

I agree with Jonnie when he says that if a vendor is too lazy, or too busy to be bothered by PGP, they may lack in other areas.  In my experience, i have only encrypted my address two or three times out of 20.  There were some shitty stealth packaging from those who I encrypted, and excellent stealth from those who didnt require it. 
PGP is an excellent tool, and I feel that people are often intimidated by it.

Which vendors are these?  Just curious.
