I owe you (for your helpful post on PGP) some other people +karma as well, and a little digging seems to indicate I need at least 100 posts. I'll try to remember to give everyone their rightful dues if I ever reach 100 posts, but I'm also trying to maintain a low profile :-[I see I also have some negative karma..perhaps I did something wrong or rubbed someone the wrong way? Not sure what I did though..Oh, I wouldn't worry about it! I certainly don't. :)Welcome to SR!Quote from: wsg on October 09, 2012, 08:49 pmI have been in the same boat a vendor has a pgp key posted on there profile then I order and they try to feed the line that there key isnt working use privatenote.......well they lost my order because if they are to lazy or ignorate to try to fix there use of PGP I would not put alot of faith in there ability to stealth package my order they might get lazy and not vacuum seal it or something that is "easier". What vendor is this as I think it is wrong to post a PGP key or anything else on there vendor profile that is misleading or just an out and out lie! I am not saying that there are not good vendors that dont use PGP but am seeing a trend that some say they do...you order....then they dont. and I think SR should address the issue of vendors misleading buyers!BTW it was hard for me to avoid a vendor that wanted me to use privatenote as they have some product that I would really like and decent price I had to pay abit more for a similar order but the shipping/packaging was awesomeYes, absolutely. I suggest you email the vendor and tell them to get their ship in order. That way you can give them feedback on lost custom.If they don't change their ways, don't let it bother you. Better to have superior operational security. You'll be feel a whole lot better if it turns out SR server's are compromised by LE hackers.The entire op should run as if hacking the SR servers doesn't matter. If you use PGP, that is completely true. If you don't, you're fucked. That's putting it in the most pleasant manner I can.Vendors should get professional or go home. There's no room for amateurs on here. Or rather, there is room, but they have to learn, or they will get busted ASAP. Maybe not now, but like you're saying, if a vendor doesn't take PGP seriously, there's every chance they don't get other elementary precautions seriously either.Cheers!Pine
