Hi iheartpills, and welcome to the Silk Road.In the future, it's far more efficient to ask ONE question in a thread, and put that as best you can in the title - 'please read' doesn't tell anyone what to expect. 'How do I find a PGP program that doesn't cost $100' would be a great title, and limit the thread to that one subject.You'll get a better range of answers, and it will be easier for other newbs in the future to find the information they want in yours and similar threads.Do a lot of lurking and reading - check out the wiki - and use the search function on the forums; couple that with creating more focused threads to ask about things you don't understand will have you an expert here in no time, telling newbs the same thing ;)Enjoy your stay!
