Why not add your PGP to your profile? : CafeDread | Torhoo darknet markets

Some users in the darknet when they try to contact by DM they always prefer to contact you using PGP messages. If you don't know how just use Kleopatra for it you already have it on your Whonix or Tails it just gonna take you less than 3 minutes and remember to keep your private key in a safe place

I would ask the opposite question. Why add your PGP to your profile?
Occasionally, I have something I want to tell a trusted person, that I don't want LE to be able to read if they happen to seize Dread.

So we should use pgp even in dm's lol ...
You know Admin can read DM's. Anyone who has control of Dread can.

EXTREME, I just use PGP cause I don't want the Dread team fucks to read my messages
If one of their accounts is taken over by LE, they have access to every DM.
I don't think I've ever said anything in DM that I cared about the Admin team reading.

I always seek to learn. I have always been the type who operates with the mindset that every bit of information you unnecessarily share with the world is a minus to OPSEC. So, again, I would ask why? What is the value proposition to putting your PGP on your profile?

PGP is outdated and bad way for encryption in 2025 , RSA is almost dead, the creator of PGP stopped using it a long time ago and promotes newer algorithms.
Adding your key for public view is simply bad practice, you should only provide key or sign message privately when requested and you should change the key often or simply use burner keys for almost all separated conversations.

A simple google of "The PGP problem" will tell you a lot. Feds love your pgp conversations, because only one person can encrypt with one private key. There is no deniability in court whatever you encrypt it's undeniable your saying in court of law. There are many ways you can encrypt conversation today, but pgp is gay. Don't be fat old and grumpy gay like /u/Beelzebub .

google is gay. use mojeek,, etools.ch, yacy, metager, gigablast, peekier, searx.me, etc..... instead.

The thing about "only one person" can encrypt the with one private key isn't wrong exactly but that is the point. In the world of anonymity this is important without someone having to give up their true identity. The author of that PGP problem article seems to try and attribute things PGP was made for into modern far more complex problems than PGP was made for.

Feds don't need to use your PGP key to verify it's you lol. They can do that 100x other ways. If you are logged into your computer with the private key of your bad man profile, then that is already enough to prove it's you. A PGP key can maybe add evidence of you but simply using PGP isn't de anonymizing in the way you think.

There are many ways you can encrypt conversations and we have discussed them all. All of them require you to blindly trust a third party most times, and even then the encryption implementations have been debated a lot. Don't forget the metadata leaking that was mentioned in "the PGP problem" is very much worse for anything you can recommend instead of me PGP encrypted message through a DM.

I agree. This is an interesting read but it has the stronger smell of the "older versus younger tech" dilemma. PGP is a 40-years old standard. You don't need to open the documentation to know it's going to be cluttered with obsolete or half-baked stuff. Which is something this article stresses a lot.
But at the meantime, it doesn't highlight a major "problem" with PGP. More various minor "problems". Plural. Well, nobody said PGP was perfect. I don't know cryptography well so I won't comment on that, but semantics alone are retarded (you own a "key pair" which is not the same as "private and public keys"; and doesn't have to be a pair, either; etc.). Some other points the author makes, such as the lack of forward secrecy, are perfectly valid but as you said that's not what it is made for in the first place.
PGP is popular around here because it fills up for particular needs and it did it good for years. Not because it is bulletproof. In the largest anonymity game there are so much mistakes you can commit. The article suggests we all switch to Signal - I don't see that happening any time soon. We're on Tor for a reason. We disable Javascript for a reason. And so on.

Exactly.
PGP is good for authentication, for example you require someone to sign a message with certain key. Same could help and prevent phishing. I don't have issue with PGP, I often use it due to it's popularity. This doesn't change the fact it's outdated. It was outdated 10yrs ago, it's outdated now.

Almost 20yrs ago there were discussions that PGP will get fucked and it was inevitable issue. 20yrs later, computers get more and more powerful, feds improve their technologies day by day and we keep using 20+yrs old algorithms. Even Zimmerman quit using PGP. Perhaps we should ask ourselves why would the creator of PGP quit using it's own invention :)

Also the whole concept to link one public key to one identity is fundamentally bad per design. The dread problem is that everyone is blind sheep without any knowledge or critical thinking. They will read in DNM bible written by someone 15 yrs ago that PGP is best solution and will keep repeating it over and over again until they die. It's working. Or is it? 20yrs ago we were discussing it was cracked already. 20yrs later we still blindly put our trust in it.

Thanks for the resource. Interesting read. I wouldn't call the piece a PGP killer but you're absolutely right about keeping a critical mind, especially when using 40-year old piece of technology. About the encryption becoming outdated, what do you think about the GnuPG switching from OpenPGP to LibrePGP? I understood it was about preparing to quantum encryption (so... the future), do you think it's just for the show?

Perhaps we should ask ourselves why would the creator of PGP quit using it's own invention

Money. He has quit for money. Created PGP Corporation before it was bought by Symantec. Most probably lost all rights in the process. Switched in 2013 for another company, Darkmail, that unfortunately had less success than his previous project. Zimmerman is 71 years old. I'm unsure he's still in the circuit. Not blaming the guy for anything. Retirement is fine too. Just keeping critical :)

PGP is useful on dread if it's a message containing sensitive information or something that the user wants to keep only visible to the recipient, that was such a low quality lazy comment.
Three years on Dread, and he's never felt the need to use PGP to tell someone something he doesn't want LE to read if they seize Dread?

Is he an 🤪Actual Retard🤪 or LE. I think he's both TBH.

Funny or not, the telegram encryption algorithm you can find in the open source documentation is better than pgp. Way better. The issue with telegram is that their server side remain close-sourced and the client save messages on the server by default.

It's the facts. Telegram is not a good platform, but the encryption is not the reason for it. It's open sourced you can simply go read it yourself and make research.
