Trouble Creating RiseUp/Tor account connection
I am new to all of this anonymity stuff and am trying to find a few friends to help. I'd like to use Pidgin to facilitate this. However, I seem to be running into trouble either creating the account or connecting to the service. I have followed the instructions given here: https://help.riseup.net/en/pidgin with the only difference being that I used my riseup account name and password on the Proxy tab rather than the foo and hidden password. I get a window that says unable to connect. Have I entered something wrong or is this something that happens a lot? Or is there something more to this that I'm not getting? I'm running Windows 7 - I know, I know, but one has to start somewhere and this is a HUGE learning curve, especially for me. Right now I'm just trying to find someone who uses email encryption so that I can give it a try. I have set up a key, but I don't know anyone who uses this stuff that I can experiment with. Hope someone out there has some time and would like to play with a new friend. Iago ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

The certificate for gmail.com could not be validated
Hello, Today for the 1st time this message started popping up: SSL Certificate Validation Accept certificate for gmail.com? The certificate for gmail.com could not be validated. The certificate is not trusted because no certificate that can verify it is currently trusted. When I click on View Certificate I see this: Common name: gmail.com Fingerprint (SHA1): 28:dd:89:d3:0a:a6:f0:a2:b9:f8:77:fc:55:fc:ab:85:18:de:13:ff Activation date: Tue Jul 23 09:37:27 2013 Expiration date: Wed Jul 23 09:37:27 2014 I'm running Pidgin 2.10.6 (libpurple 2.10.6) on Windows 7. What changed? How do I get past it? Regards, Steve Golub http://www.linkedin.com/in/smgolub (917) 579-0962 ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Upgrade to Pidgin 2.10.7. What changed? How do I get past it? Google updated the Certificates. There's a bug in older Pidgin versions that prevents the new certificate from being validated successfully. -D ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
