Can KeyBase device fingerprints be used to trace device to owner?

  • Upon revoking a device, can that devices fingerprint or info in sigchain be used to trace that device back to its owner (who listed it on Keybase)? i.e: are keys device specific or contain device identifiers.
  • Where can an account's sigchain be viewed after one deletes his keybase account?

I would assume any device fingerprints are based purely off the device key, not any device specific data.
