Given the nature of question I assume you run winblows. For that, use this: http://www.gpg4win.org It is free. Title: Re: How to install PGP?

Post by: rmines on February 20, 2014, 04:39:13 PM Do you want to install PGP to be able to decrypt PGP encrypted emails?
Title: Re: How to install PGP? Post by: Raya on February 20, 2014, 04:47:10 PM Do you want to install PGP to be able to decrypt PGP encrypted emails? I'm going to familarise my self with the software and see why escrows use them and why they use them and also why it would be a good idea for myself to use it. Title: Re: How to install PGP?

It never hurts to have good AV software a firewall and malware protection. Also check out TrueCrypt to encrypt sensitive data. Title: Re: How to install PGP?

But I prefer GUI-less linux. Title: Re: How to install PGP? Post by: kakobrekla on February 20, 2014, 04:59:26 PM Dude, is what I said. Is this parallel universe?
Title: Re: How to install PGP? Post by: Raya on February 20, 2014, 04:59:44 PM Ok thanks for that I'll check all the tutorials and resources I find and see if I can understand the software better whilst using it.
Title: Re: How to install PGP? Post by: devthedev on February 20, 2014, 05:00:34 PM Dude, is what I said. Is this parallel universe? Yeah, I just realized. Ok thanks for that I'll check all the tutorials and resources I find and see if I can understand the software better whilst using it. Getting registered with Gribble is vital as well.. Title: Re: How to install PGP? Post by: juju on February 20, 2014, 05:06:44 PM How well does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmessage work to encrypt data? I don't think it uses PGP but I might be mistaken? Bit Message is pretty easy to use from what I have done with it.

I don't think it uses PGP but I might be mistaken? Bit Message is pretty easy to use from what I have done with it. If you scroll down to "Operation" you can see how it works and what kind of encryption it uses. Title: Re: How to install PGP? Post by: rmines on February 20, 2014, 05:09:48 PM As far as I know, bitmessage can currently only be used to sent and receive messages, not to encrypt files.

But all these chans are fuckin shit. There is only one chan to be in. #bitcoin-assest Anyway, Bitmessage is flawed, do not use it cause its as good a plaintext email if not worse.

That's a harsh statement to make. Could you elaborate on it? Or do you have a source to support your claim? Title: Re: How to install PGP? Post by: devthedev on February 20, 2014, 05:15:15 PM Anyway, Bitmessage is flawed, do not use it cause its as good a plaintext email if not worse. Right, technically everyone receives the message.

Then I won't search up bitmessage :D :D :D I'm the older generation and have recently been suggested Bitcoin by my nephew and I tell you something it's bloody hard work to understand some of the concepts of sofware and security.

Post by: devthedev on February 20, 2014, 05:19:56 PM Maybe it's not "as" bad now. But I still wouldn't use it, Quote from the page.
Quote "You’re right. In fact, I helped the developers with the design of the protocol version 2 and I did a preliminary audit of the protocol. The fact that I haven’t post about it yet is because I have almost no time. My apologize." Title: Re: How to install PGP? Post by: rmines on February 20, 2014, 05:20:36 PM And besides adding SSL nothing has changed to the protocol / binaries? ::)
