Assuming this always traces back to the same key, you can know that the link you’re clicking is legit.

Can someone explain what this line in the article means?

My guess from context clues:

Prospective buyer: "One drugs pls to this shipping address." Seller: "0,05 ETH please at this wallet address" Prospective buyer: "Test amount sent, pls verify" Seller: "I see your test amount. Shipment will be sent once full amount clears" Prospective buyer: "Thx for verifying. Remainder on its way." Seller: "I see it, thank you for your business. Shipment of one drugs will arrive in two to three weeks. Enjoy!"

I imagine these sorts of messages between buyers and sellers which are hosted on the platform would be the PGP encrypted messages in question.

I think you're giving the author too much credit here, they weren't clear about what they meant. If they were trying to describe message encryption in general they should have used general terms, instead they chose to describe a specific message and then failed to identify which one. It muddles the conversation instead of adding clarity. I appreciate you trying to help me but I wasn't really looking for an answer, I'm pointing out the bad quality of the article
