I'm still working away at encyption and anonymity on the silkroad. ive managed, after several attempts, to get a private messaging account with TOR and can create public and private key blocks using PGA. Ive managed to send a few emails back and forward(to myself) with the keys and open them at the arrival account using the key. How do you use TOR PM with PGA. Can I use the public key block from an email account to encrypt my TOR PM's or do i have to create one specifically for TOR and if so, how do you create the key.
Also, how do you change your user name and password on silkroad. Does the option to change identity on TOR affect your identity on silkroad or the forums. Excuse my lack of knowledge but i want to get all this shit right b4 purchasing anything. keen to get shopping!!!!

I would just use the built-in messaging system on the main site instead of messing around with torpm. Just click the username of a person you want to send a message to. You can't change your username on Silk Road, but you can create a new account with a new name. You can change your password on your settings page.

No, it doesn't.
There is a good PGP tutorial going in the security board and we are going to publish a comprehensive guide created by a member of the forum soon.
