Finally set up pgp email encryption today.

@nuclearum so far I've had success teaching it to one friend who's not technically inclined, though she has a very learning oriented attitude towards computers and software in general. gpg4win makes the process a bit easier because I can get them using Kleopatra if they're afraid of the command line. · 2 weeks ago
I think GPG is very complex for newbies, if you and friends are using email servers supporting imap/smtp then you can use something more easy like DeltaChat this use autocrypt for encryption is like messenger but using email. · 2 weeks ago
@sarmun I'm definitely hoping I can get my friends and family on board. I'm sure I'll be successful with some of my more technically inclined friends, at least. · 3 weeks ago
@sarmun same. But I can sign my emails whether or not they want to check my signatures. I wouldn’t expect them to manually check signatures on a regular basis, but it doesn’t remove their usefulness. · 3 weeks ago
That''s nice. The only thing is... you need others to use it too. Well... my friends aren't eager to use encryption though. So I'm left with mostly useless PGP key... · 3 weeks ago
