Quote from: CaptainMal on December 23, 2012, 03:44 amthat is weird indeed ... hm. i agree with Nightcrawler about the importance of PGP ... i wish more buyers were using it, even for buying bitcoins from me.As long as the management refuses to make the use of PGP mandatory, nothing will change. As I said earlier, voluntary compliance never truly works in the real world. Public education only goes so far... When it comes to security, people do NOT want to learn new things, they do not wish to go outside of their comfort zones. User laziness is the single biggest asset that law enforcement has to use against a community like Silk Road. Unfortunately, in the real world, sometimes people have to be _forced_ to do the right thing. To believe otherwise is nothing but a Libertarian pipe-dream. NC
