Does anyone have any tips on how I can learn to encrypt my email? I’ve had success with my regular email address several times but I see that someone I would like to try as only accepting encrypted emails. I’m a newb still learning all of the time!

What service are you trying to use ? Proton has already encryption enabled I'm pretty sure.And Tutanota has it's own way of encryption ..I'm not a expert but could figure it out for ya or someone else will chime in .I moved your post to the proper thread All about security.

Then you could go as far as using temp.pm or privenote also for more security .

PGP keys ?be a little more specific and more help will chime in.

Have a good one 

:)

Thanks Biskobro! I appreciate you moving this to the correct thread. To be honest I’m a newb and just have regular old yahoo and gmail addresses and I saw that one vendor will only accept encrypted emails so I’m trying to figure it out. Lol I figured out btc so now this is my next lesson! I very much appreciate your time and hope all is well!

Just use protonmail they have a app or direct site.All emails sent and received  are already encryption for you ...Just send the message as normal. Just IMO the easiest way for you ..They also have a VPN if your interested in that to.

Protonmail has a free option when you sign up.... for what I need it's perfect and surely it'll work for you.

Good day 

 
Thanks Biskobro! It’s very much appreciated! Take care!

 
@Palty Just remember that end-to-end encryption with Protonmail only works if you are sending emails FROM AND TO other protonmail accounts.  Same with tutanota accounts.  So if the vendor wishes you to use encrypted email (and they actual know what that means lol) then you would either need to do your own PGP encryption or use the SAME encrypted email provider they are using. So if they have a Tutanota account, you would need to make a tutanota account and send from there.  Hopefully that makes sense..

 
In my experience, it is always just a bit better to rely upon a known and well vetted PGP encrypting service to keep your communications safe.  ProtonMail and Tutanota (so far from what I hear) are pretty safe as long as your ProtonMail encrypted message goes to another ProtonMail account and the same with Tutanota, it’s only going to be encrypted when sent to another Tutanota account. 
If you want to be absolutely sure learn to use PGP

 
@Palty Don't forget that the "Subject Title" of each email you create will not be encrypted when using protonmail or tutanota. ONLY the email itself will be encrypted when sending or receiving them not the subject titles.

 
I know its a few months old, but I wanted to add to this a little, because I'm wondering why no ones on the clearnet wants to use PGP? Yes proton and tuta both encrypt end to end, but what if a vendor or buyer has their password leaked somehow, and LE, Phishers, or scammers, get access to the their messages? Wouldn't it make sense to have all the sensitive matterial in your emails have an extra layer of protection? Most darknet vendors require you to at least encrypt your address and anything that might be able to identify or incriminate you or them, even if you're comunicating through a secure server like proton. So why do Clearnet vendors not adopt the same policy? I understand its more grey area here, and usually as long as its not being sold for consumption there is no arrestable crime, but why give them any evidence at all? Why give your customers the chance to say anything incriminating to begin with? Especially when PGP is availible to everyone for free, and not that difficult to use. Theres tons of tutorials on youtube, it took me about 15 minutes to learn and use, as a vendor you would cut out the "stupid kid" orders that will probably hurt themselves with your products or screw up your opsec, and you also gain the option of dark markets if you so choose. There doesn't seem to be a downside to me. I feel like if I was a vendor here, I'd require everyone to PGP encrypt their messages, in addition to sending through an encrpted email server, and using the self destructing message feature, and leave links to tutorials on my page. Any good reason not to?

Also, if anyone has questions about PGP, feel free to message me, I'd be glad to share what I know.

 
@Whoopiegoldburgg222 it sounds more complicated than it actually is. Its really just having a public key code and a private key code, your public key is given to those that you want to encrypt messages to you, and your private key you keep to yourself and use it to decrypt messages that were sent to you using your public key. Past that, its just a matter of learning how to use the software, which just consists of how to generate a public/private key pair, and how to import other people public keys so you can encrypt messages to them. 

Heres a decent tutorial on using GPG tools:


And there's Mac and PC versions available the below links:

Mac: https://gpgtools.org/

PC: https://www.gpg4win.org/ 

 
@SlackyMcSlackerson When I tried learning to use it before. It was a tedious time consuming process of me making a mistake ending in failure each attempt. I agree we all should use it. I hope in the future I can figure out how to use it.

  1. E @ eswen444: *or post here. Holy spelling problems....but also for everyones info what im told is as of 8/1/2026 7oh, MIT, MGM, and other concentrates will be scheduled 1. Its an emergency schedule which lasts TWO YEARS and they can request an additional if needed. I feel horrible for all the homie/homettes who have to deal with this.
  2. E @ eswen444: @MorfineOrfan do you have a link to the chems the DEA blans to emergency schedule? If so please pm it to me or lost here. From what im told from my corporate over seers everything BUT raw leaf, and capsuled leaf will be removed from shelves 7/31/26
  3. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: We made it to another Friday ladies and gents. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, be safe out there.
  4. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z i have no clue what the supply and demand is like for brick and mortar shops, i havnt been in a smokeshope in 15-20years and back then none of them had or even knew what kratom was. Ive always bought kratom from vendors online, back in tge day we would use babel fish translator to haggle with vendors on kilo prices lol. But you dont need to worry mit will always be available if leaf is.
  5. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @nameofuser11 its not just 7/mgm/psuedo and sr, the dea has a huge list of compounds its banning with this ban. Odsmt is one, all the orphines and a ton more.
  6. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Lole onion sites?
  7. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: @eiffraffca what ya mean
  8. R @ Riffraffca: Has anyone used and markets on the Dark Web?
  9. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @nameofuser11 Lol, happens to the best of us my friend. I think plain leaf will remain pretty easy to access, and prices shouldn’t fluctuate too much. Read up on how to use btc if you don’t know already. It’s not rocket science :)
  10. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: I donated and I forgot how to get the password. I am a moron. Don't worry I have no plans on becoming a vendor with my stupidity
  11. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: @st1ckyf1ng4z you're right of course. But being able to purchase with a debit card on a clearnet site with quality labs and low prices will be gone.
  12. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: Especially if they’re using mitragynine as the parent alk to make substitutes. I think it will affect plain leaf too at the very least it will not be as available as it’s been.
  13. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 That’s wild. But basic supply/demand tho, right? In my area all the leaf has been pulled off shelves,
  14. J @ j00ciiez: It sucks they're banning sr17. It seems to be a holy grail for many ppl.
  15. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: To clarify plain leaf kratom is not a part of this ban. Mitragynine might be fine. 7, psuedo,mgm15 and sr1708 are what are on the table to be banned most likely but hopefully just regulated.
  16. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z and yes , there are already indole alkoloids with tweaked scaffolding ready to take the place of 7/mgm, all with mitragynine as their parent alkoloid. The game of wack a mole starts the minute 7 is officially banned. Its 2013 K2 all over
  17. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan Also, it’s just a matter of time before another alternative pops up on the market anyway….
  18. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan I couldn’t agree more, bro. It’s fucked up. I recognize prices will rise, but it will always be available…. Stock up now while you can at least if you’re preferred read is opiates. As an ex-fentanyl addict I won’t ever touch any of that shit again. I remember when I started to see 7oh pop up, I knew it was going to end like this but I can understand getting rid of 7oh/mgm-15/16. With that being said, they should leave plain leaf alone!
  19. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z oh trust, i know that, im helping a pretty big vendor transition, to here and dnm , but prices are going to rise bc of risk. But availability is only part of this whole kratom alks situation. We have a serious problem with society. Last year alcohol killed 178,000 people, last year all other drugs combined killed 69,973 Out of those 38,084 were from opiate/opioids and out of those 0 were killed by 7oh. With these numbers we can see the problem with banning 7oh
  20. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Hell i remember when getting 25g of aphip was like 200$ or so
