Thanks. See, I wasn't completely past the point of help. And in-fact you made me realise what the issue was.

I hadn't pushed up the key to nameservers.

Fixed.

Thanks! Smiley

you could try

Code:
wget -O - http://bitcoin-otc.com/otps/46ED38A2A668A578 | gpg -u "yourname" --decrypt

keep quotes and that is your where your name that you use to register on gribble
Cause your the only one that is suppose to decrypt that it is encrypted using your public key.

Thanks for your response.

No luck unfortunately. Still the same error.

gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

I'm pretty sure hair-loss problem is in direct correlation with this here problem.

Help me with this, cure my hairloss.

PLEASE - It's cold. I don't want to be bald Sad - Thanks Smiley

Well then that means you gave a public key, that you don't have access too, and in that case, you can't be helped.

I've been trying to use bitcoin-otc

I followed the below instructions found @ https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-the-hell-does-bitcoin-otc-work-138764


6) Gribble will spit back a http:// url. Copy that and run (if you're using commandline):
wget -O - http://bitcoin-otc.com/otps/46ED38A2A668A578 | gpg --decrypt





Thanks for your instructions. They got me to this step. I am on a mac. I've used GPG Keychain access to generate the keys.

I've tried to decrypt using terminal with the method above as well as using gpg --decrypt

both methods return the error "No Secret Key".

So where do I input my secret key into this step?

Thanks for your help.



The above is my question.

I have now tried several methods, including the above, and:


I'm obviously missing something. How do I decrypt this? How do I give it my secret key, and prevent this error?

I know this is probably a very silly question but I've been stuck here for over a day now.

ANY HELP is massively appreciated. Thanks.
