I'm surprised a seller would be that naive! Yes, you should post your public key only. If the private key has already been posted, I'd strongly recommend generating a new keypair, no doubt our more tech savvy forum members will confirm in due course.

Yeah a new set of keys would be the first thing I'd get in this situation if it were me. If I were a vendor and someone alerted me to this issue, I'd at least send them some free samples or put them on a priority shipping for life list. Good on you for telling them.

I already messaged the seller about the key. been like 8 hours. guy is relatively new so i guess he doesn't log as often as most. i was basically more concerned about my personal data than a handout, but if he throws something towards me im not going to trip.
