Quote from: PerPETualMOtion on June 15, 2013, 11:37 am2. PGP provides a higher level of encryption over TOR. It further provides securities for vendors/consumers by preventing man in the middle attacks, occurring at TOR exit nodes. This requires a certain level of sophistication to capture, rehash, and then decipher your message(s). PGP adds another degree of encryption for this reason. Furthermore, with exaflop and petaflop computers available to every government (with the right price), TOR is really just a tight string and a few tin cups.I'm sorry, I really find it awkward to correct people, but this... is not correct. There are no exit nodes involved with Silk Road traffic. It's a Tor hidden service, the data never leaves the Tor network (which happens at exit nodes).
