@ PINE There is NO NEED at all to make FE go away. It is a choice. NO ONE forces you to do FE. In fact the buyers control that. The buyers CHOOSE to use a vendor that requires their customers to FE. And each person has the option...yes option.... to do it or not. As a vendor I do not require it and never would. But there have been times on an order of say 10k that I wanted those coins right away...as I was going to trade them for cash and I wanted the rate right then and there...and even waiting 24 hours would have cost me 5k. So in that case the FE was needed. And my customer had no issue with it at all. The fact is the buyer needs to make that decision. As to the pgp...that is another thing that only affects the buyer...and it only affects the buyer if you believe at one point SR will be compromised and you also believe when compromised that the SR servers will in fact have all the information from messages and from the orders available Even though DPR has stated that information is not saved and even if the servers were compromised that information would not be available. The truth is, the bigger issue is if a vendor keeps the information or not. That is something that would come back to hurt a buyer a lot more then SR being compromised. Also any second year law student can tell you that messages alone are worthless in a criminal case, especially ones from the past, and that even if SR was compromised and they could get messages with addresses and what you ordered from say 1 year ago...or even 1 month ago...that information alone would not get you in trouble. PGP is another layer of security...BUT it is not something that is this big lifesaver. And FE is not something that is a problem. The problem is getting people to understand how things work and what not to d to and what to do. In over 1 year here I can tell you I have witnessed things that buyers do that would blow everyone's minds. If I didn't have these things happen to me...I would never believe people are that dumb. THEY ARE. And you would have to be a total idiot if you believed that PGP alone will in any way protect you. There are 10 other things that are more important then PGP. And as to the FE...that is something that will never go away and actually it really can't. And the beauty of how it now..is YOU HAVE A CHOICE. And I for one like when I have the freedom to choose. And as a buyer if you choose correctly and you have an IQ over 90 you should be able to order and receive your goods on SR with no problem 100% of the time. And in fact I think most buyers do just that.
