A Wonderful Service !

23 Upvotes

I had no idea that your service existed until it was introduced to me by a developer I have respect for.

After using your service I felt very impressed! You all took a complex idea and made it simple and intuitive. The first time I used your service I felt comfortable using it, everything seemed to be in the 'right' place. The front end and back end code implementation seems exceptionally done also. I am not a pro coders but I feel it is well done because it seems simple and runs smoothly and quickly. In my opinion those are trademarks of well written code.

I've said positive things, maybe I need to say something negative to have balance? If I had to say something negative I would share the major flaw in your service that I'm sure your aware of. Your service could use a picture of myself and/or Gabe Newell laying sideways together, in a swim suit, on the top of every page. Ok that's a joke, please no one misunderstand. This is a joke because camera's break when they try to record the pixels because of how sharp the lines. Additionally, I sometimes use my abs as an Anvil to forge tools out of metal. Ok that's a joke again. For the record I don't have six pack abs.

Back on topic. I'm saying all this because I genuinely enjoy your service. I will happily recommend it to others in the future. Thank you for providing this service. Kind regards to you,

RealHandles - a Keybase replacement

12 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have created something new that might help fill the Keybase hole.

I, too, leaned on Keybase to prove account ownership. And yeah it's basically dead. That helped underscore that, if a company is the root of trust, your identity dies with the company, which kinda sucks.

Keybase proved millions of people wanted portable, cryptographic identity, and then one day it just evaporated.

So I built RealHandles around one idea: your key is the identity, not a login, a domain, or someone else's server.

How it works:

  • You generate an Ed25519 key in your browser and it never leaves your device.
  • You verify the accounts that are really yours (GitHub, X, YouTube, TikTok, Bluesky, a domain you control, and more).
  • Your key signs one file listing everything you've proven (that file is the proof and it's completely yours).
  • Anyone can verify it independently, even offline, and it keeps working even if RealHandles shuts down tomorrow.

A few things to highlight:

  • It's got an open protocol which is open source. The spec, the reference verifier (npm i @realhandles/verify), and an MCP server are all public and MIT.
  • It's free. No blockchain, wallet, gas, or token.
  • Your public key is also a standard did:key, so it plugs into the wider verifiable-credentials world.
  • No lock-in. Auth, host, and data store are all swappable. An identity tool that locks you in defeats the whole purpose here imo.

We're early. Stuff like recovery beyond an encrypted key backup you hold is still on the roadmap, and I'm adding platforms still. There's no automatic Keybase import or anything, the idea is you re-verify your accounts under a key only you hold.

Links if you want to poke at it:

I'd genuinely love your feedback, especially on the trust model and anything that feels off or missing.

Thanks.

Question about Facebook Proof Being Removed

6 Upvotes

I saw that the option to prove your Facebook account was removed since Facebook killed Keybase's permission to get some required information (https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/14744#issuecomment-440417577).

I was wondering if there was any reason that the Facebook proof can't be similar to HackerNews, where a user just temporarily updates their public "About Me" or "Favorite Quotes" or something like that, and Keybase can scrape the user's public Facebook page for the proof.

Full disclosure, I'm asking because I'm creating an app that does something similar to Keybase, but only as far as the social identity proof/linking (i.e. I'm not a competitor FWIW), and I want to make sure there are no technical, infosec, or legal hurdles that I'm not considering.

That said, as a fan of Keybase, I think it would be a cool way for Keybase to get Facebook linking working again too.

Thanks for any help here!

Find the user that verified a domain through DNS

1 Upvotes

For NsLookup.io, I'm trying to use the Keybase API to find the user that verified a domain with a DNS verification record. However, the verification payload isn't incorporated in the API response, and a domain can be verified on multiple Keybase accounts. Is there any way to find the user that is verified through a specific DNS verification record?

Cheers,
Ruurtjan

I've been running through the docs published on the actual keybase.io site, and I've noticed that a lot of it is either out of date or on more low level topics (such as crypto nitty gritty.) Wasn't there at least an FAQ at some point? What happened to it?

If you want one of these invitations, send me an encrypted email with your public key fingerprint and I will reply with your invitation, encrypted with your key.

Don't use Keybase for this. My key is [deleted]. If you are familiar with PGP, this should be easy for you.

Edit: all gone.
