The reason why some people are miffed is that encryption is protection for the *buyers* mscat. It's not a favor for the vendor at all. And to prevent the SR servers becoming a valuable target. Compared to those, the benefit to the vendors themselves is quite marginal (since they could always encrypt the information at their end anyway just for the purpose of obstructing LE detective work, same way you'd burn a notebook filled with inventory/accounts data if agents came knocking).The result of most people using PGP is that seizing the Silk Road's physical hardware is a Pyrrhic victory for the adversary, and they know it.If you want to test PGP, send pine a PGP encrypted message. My public key is in my sig.
