Quote from: makalu on October 15, 2012, 02:12 pmI'm still confused. I have installed Gpg4win. I then followed their help file to make an openPGP public key. Now how do I use it in email communications. I use windows live mail. How do the programs interact? Really depressing me, as I could use some medicines for my pain right now. Look, forget GPG4WIN. Use GPG4USB instead. GPG4WIN homepage: http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/index.html You'll find GPG4WIN a lot easier to deal with. Quote from: makalu on October 15, 2012, 02:12 pmIs there a Gpg4win and kleopatra tutorial? Don't bother with it. Just use GPG4USB instead. Believe me, you'll find it easier to grasp. Quote from: makalu on October 15, 2012, 02:12 pmI really don't get how typing garbled rubbish and moving the mouse while the key is generated, makes it stronger.You don't need to understand the theory behind the software, just accept that it works. There are only a limited number of ways to generate entropy or randomness on a computer -- using the timing between keystrokes and using random mouse movements are two of them. You just have to accept that these methods are indeed valid, and further, that they are needed. Finally, you should NOT be using Windows Live mail as an email provider for ANYTHING related to Silk Road, unless you have a burning desire to be apprehended. Using PGP will give you privacy; it does not make you anonymous. Clearnet email providers like Windows Live mail, Gmail, etc. all harvest and store user IP addresses, and the dates and times of logins. Unless you setup your Live mail account using Tor and CONTINUE TO USE Tor EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU ACCESS YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT, your real IP address may be harvested by Microsoft, who WILL turn it over to the authorities on request. Remember you IP address, combined with the date and time of your logins, can uniquely identify you right down to your ISP account. If you must use email, you should be using Tormail.
