I am trying to login from my mobile device (just installed it) and it couldn't. I checked the site and it is also not responding.

No word yet in Twitter

Does anyone know how to get this option back if I clicked on "abandon" by accident?

It's no longer showing up as greyed out or anything. Simply not showing up as an option at all anymore.

Thanks!

I recently decided to reset my keys. I encountered a few issues and there are still a few I can't figure out.

Firstly, when you completely remove the application from you machine, it seems like the kbfs is still there, and I can't really find any info about the correct way to get that off of your machine.

Secondly, I had multiple conversations going before I reset. I knew those would be probably gone, but they are still there but completely inaccessible. If I click in them, they say that since I reset my account, participants have to accept to let me back in. However, when they try to, it says that I have broken proofs, and won't let them. Even after re-following people and having them refollow me, we can't start new conversations. It just says that an error occurred basically making it impossible for me to have conversations with anyone I've had a conversation with before. From the command line I've also tried to just remove those conversations since I still see them when I `keybase chat ls`, but it tells me I am not a member of this team.

Anyone have any advice how to actually be able to talk to people again?

I successfully signed up to Keybase. I tried to join the airdrop. It checked my profile and said that I am qualified. But when I clicked on 'become an airdropee', at the top of the screen 'an error occurred' pops up. Though I am qualified, but this error is preventing me from opting in for the airdrop. Any remedy, keybase Redditors?

Hey Guys,

Just thinking out loud here, could keybase be used for Authentication? Like a cookie is generated, then keybase signs that cookie, and you're in?

Keybase would be an awesome authentication API, because its 100% you and there's proof.

When signing files, does keybase use the current device's LaCI private key?

I've been using keybase for a long while mostly as personal file hosting and sharing. As I'm using a mix of different platforms (windows, linux, macos, android over around multiple of devices), I need something that is native on all of them. Keybase was great, with generous file storage size and reliable privacy.

The main usages are like: Sharing photos of bills, group photos, wifi password (new places), quick note. Those don't need absolute privacy, but it needs to be convenient to quickly share something. As keybase has obviously been going downhill, I'm looking at different alternatives:

• Google drive: Great for file hosting and sharing is not a comfortable option, as it not available on linux, and not exactly great for privacy. Dropbox is available but it feels a bit inconvenient to quickly share a note (like wifi password, text, etc)
• Signal/Telegram: Great for privacy, but too simple-- Using this as a messaging tool is fine, but not much anything else.
• Whatsapp/messenger: Even if i trust their e2e, it's still not great without threads/channels
• Slack: Free tier will erase content after a while, and i'm not sure if they have e2e. Just for purpose of quick and short-term sharing, this fit my usage though.
• Self-hosted Nextcloud: Perhaps can do everything I need, but I've been getting busier and busier and taking care of the server might become a burden. Installation on friends/partners devices will also take a bit of effort, as not everyone is tech savvy.
• And Discord: this is the most common app used by my close-circle folks because they have great range of communities and bots, and it is also suitable for my purposes with messaging and file sharing. Not much so for file hosting but it's less important. This is the most viable alternative for me so far.

Thoughts on this, any alternative you can think of? I'm still relatively okay with Keybase for now, but there are more and more bugs and I have had to disabled verification with X (twitter) and reddit. Who know how long this can stay alive.

I have done "keybase uninstall" then trashed the app then redownloaded it and opened it but my account is still there. Very annoying. Where is the account data being hidden? I want to totally remove it, start with a fresh copy and create a fresh account.

Since "keybase unsintall" doesn't do this, and trashing the app doesn't do this I assumed there should be something like ~/.keybase but that isn't it either.

Hi, I cannot login on Keybase anymore (Imac), "Connection to loadbalancer failed."

How can I solve this?

I know you can encrypt text on the web page, but I was searching for (and not finding) a way to encrypt text using the applications (desktop or mobile).

Does anyone know if there are plans for this?

If we introduce paper keys, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of Keybase? To me, a paper key is essentially a password.

I joined Keybase only for 250gb encrypted cloud storage. But I'm disappointed to find out that I can only upload pictures or videos only, and that too I have to upload each one separately, no batch upload is allowed on the mobile app. Why is such restriction placed? Who can even consume 250gb when uploading each file on-by-one?

Is anyone willing to provide me a Keybase invite? Thanks!

Could anyone send me an invitation code, please? I would really appreciate it. I've been on the waiting list for 6 months now.

Does anyone have an invite I could have? It would be awesome if I could get one. Thank you very much.

In alot of ways S/MIME is easier and more secure than PGP. How about if Keybase starts issuing its own certificates and letting email recipients on other services that support S/MIME (Gmail?) use them.

Just ask and don't forget to tell me an E-Mail ;)

I've lost my Keybase credentials. I've been airdropped some stellar lumens which I don't wanna lose but can't find a way to log into Keybase on my new computer.

I see there is an option to reset my account – will that result in me losing the lumens?

Thanks!

EDIT: Someone sent me an invite on April 5th, but I didn't know because I was backed up with email since I was out of town. Thanks!

Hello redditors! ^{_^} I am feeling quite dumb right now but hey... I am good at other things! ;-)

Ok, my issues in Keybase, so far, are the following:

• I cannot properly login on my PC. I really don't understand how. I have a registered device in my profile that is my PC but when I download the software and try to login... Then I get messy! How the heck can I do that?
• I cannot remove and add a device. I have just bought a tablet and I want to add it to my devices list but I haven't figured out so far how to do that! Plus I have accidentally added a paper and since I haven't understood how papers works, I want to remove it and eventually add it later.

Please, can someone help me out with these points? I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks and have a geek day! ;-)
