Title: Making 1st purchase - PGP address block question
Post by: admansta on December 16, 2012, 10:45 am

Hi Guys,

In SR shopping cart, after choosing your item(s) it asks you "Please enter your name and address as it would be written on a letter" and you are meant to enter your address.

If you wish to be more secure you are meant to use PGP to encrypt your address etc.

What I don't understand is what are you meant to say in this field if you want to use PGP via email, or am I meant to copy the encrypted text directly into this field. If so I can't work out how to copy the encrypted text and paste it into this field?

Please help guys would like to buy today  ;D

Cheers Admansta

Yes, you copy the PGP encrypted text block, including the first and last lines, which are

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

Paste that into the address box.

THANKS just worked out I needed to tick text ASCII format box when encrypting.
