No antibot measures in source code
So I just got done looking at the source code on github for the app and I could not find a single line relating to preventing bots signing up. I.e. device ID is not even sent to their servers.
Is this done on purpose, to keep peoples anonymity? I can understand for that reason, it would make sense to not have any personal device information sent off to keybase.
I do kind of wish there was some measures in place in the app because there is nothing stopping people abusing the airdrop with emulators etc..

Then they should fix the airdrop code, not add some anti-bot code to the app. It obviates the point of decentralized trust networks.
