I agree with the end, but not the means. Yes, everybody should use PGP. A common and stupid misconception on here is that decrypting messages takes lots of time. If a vendor has a problem decrypting multiple messages to their public key, then they are uneducated about the use of such things as the wildcard character, and so the real problem is their ignorance of a simple terminal/command line instruction as opposed to PGP being the problem. Similarly, thinking that some messages should be encrypted, but not others, is insane, and betrays a shallow understanding of how the entire concept of encryption is supposed to work, that the larger the anonymity set, the better for us all (LE doesn't know which messages to attempt to decrypt, so even if they had a method to break messages, they fall short thanks to economics).My intention with PGP Club isn't to reach all the buyers, but I would like to reach most of the vendors. That way they can set a good example to the buyers, who will ultimately follow suit.I think that although we cannot force people to use PGP, we should gently bully people into using it. E.g. a message that appears on the webpage when you don't send a message encrypted with PGP, encouraging you to encrypt it with PGP instead of sending as plaintext. This is not coercion, it is a helping hand. It is at this pivot point that a user may choose to research PGP instead of assuming it is some geeky hoopla extra.I mean, many people are simply ignorant of the reason SR offers security. They think if the FBI busts down a door somewhere and finds a bunch of SR servers, that SR will have encrypted everything somehow and that this will protect them. This is dumb on a number of levels. It also ignores the possibility that the LE agents might just monitor everything, hunting for juicy bits of info, that in fact they have no real incentive to shut down the servers. If the vendor can read your message as plaintext, then it is not encrypted. Worse yet, it implies the responsibility is on SR servers to protect you, which is the exact opposite of how SR is supposed to function. You're supposed to assume SR is literally run by the FBI and they can see everything. There should be no trust in the abilities of a human actor anywhere in the system. We should be relying on cryptographic trust instead, and the best way to do that is to use PGP to encrypt messages back and forth to vendors.The strength of a darknet market has to be in the Network itself, not in any specific member or node in that network. This is the way forward.If you do not use PGP, you are going to get into trouble. This is no prediction, this is a scientifically observable fact from the history of previous internet drug forum busts, which if you've studied the case studies, you'll know that they tend to have repeated patterns, again and again.My aim, is to make not using PGP socially unacceptable. Anybody who disagrees should be viewed as a potential LE agent at worst, or an especially ignorant newblet at best. I think with the help of my excellent helpers I am half way there to achieving PGP as an institutional idea, but it will take more help and more work to install it proper in the community's ethos. The main problem is that some users don't read the forums.Learn PGP or die.
