How to install PGP?

[devthedev]

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.

If you scroll down to "Operation" you can see how it works and what kind of encryption it uses.

As far as I know, bitmessage can currently only be used to sent and receive messages, not to encrypt files.

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..

I'll check out gribble to and I will also check out bitmessage as I have heard good things of it.

Gribble is the bot that's in the #bitcoin, #bitcoin-dev and #bitcoin-otc Freenode channels.

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?

Right, technically everyone receives the message.

Then I won't search up bitmessage  

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.

EDIT: This posts covered Bitmessage protocol v1.0 before it switched to OpenSSL ECC because of these problems.

Yeah, OpenSSL, a beauty. lol

Maybe it's not "as" bad now. But I still wouldn't use it, Quote from the page.

"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."

And besides adding SSL nothing has changed to the protocol / binaries?
