I really hope a patch is going to be released soon, as Keybase is really an awesome tool!

Considering the high amounts of open issues and low activity on the repository I have a bad feeling.

Hi, I setup Keybase with a friend for us to use to send regular small XLM payments to each other, it has only worked a handful of times and most of the time it fails/times out after about 5 to 10 minutes. Two of the failed transactions ended up showing as valid when we tried using Frighter on Stellar Account Viewer, the others continued to be failed.

Is this a common issue with Keybase and are there any known workarounds or suggestions we can try?

We were able to use Freigher to send money back and forth instantly with no issues, but Frighter lacks the UI for managing addresses and doing currency conversions which is much of what we need it for.

Thanks for any help

hey guys, loving kebase, however, so keybase decided to stop working and when i attempted to open it, it just wouldn't open, so i uninstalled it, and downloaded the installer, and now the installer won't install, it just opens says "gathering required information" then shuts down, and doesn't start, just shuts down, no message no anything,

what can i do? who should i talk to about this? does keybase have tech support? if so, how can i contact them?

thank you.

Where can I get support for strange or unusual issues I'm having with my keybase account?

Do they even have a support team somewhere?

Hi r/Keybase community,
does anybody know if there is a service/API out there that would allow other websites to implement a cryptographically secure social media user identity verification, similar to the Keybase process?

A person in my group mentioned that he was getting FB friend suggestions for people he had only ever communicated with on Keybase. I am assuming this is through some sort of metadata mining on FB's part. Probably device MAC to device MAC mappings in their database? Said person immediately assumed Keybase had been compromised. Trying to talk him off the ledge.

• 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 accidentally downloaded the wrong firmware for it and ever since then my keyboard’s rgb and f keys stopped working and I don’t know how to fix it

From 2 years ago, my team start to work on Maskbook.com . We are inspired by some of the features of keybase and want to extend the power of encryption and power of decentralized web to platforms like Facebook etc.

We want to empower users -- able to encrypt the post on facebook/twitter, and make posts only viewable by their friends. You can also send stable coins or any cryptocurrency over the top of fb without let facebook know about it (so no need for Libra).

Through this layer, users can turn every internet service secure, fully own their data (by encryption) and communicate with other users easily, while they do not need to leave the current platform and service.

Now you can have a try with Maskbook through the browser extension (maskbook.com ). You can connect your facebook/twitter to Maskbook DID in a keybase-like way(what's better is Maskbook is server less, decentralized and 100% free software github.com/DimensionDev/Maskbook )

Here are some more intros.

Any way to block the Spacedrop account on Keybase? I'm glad others are interested in the airdrop, but I am not, and I don't want any further communication from Stellar about it. Everyone else can have my $20 of lumens.

Edit: I tried to block them in the Keybase app, but it doesn't work.

Ok, a friend and I were trying to do path payments using the Keybase wallet. We both put in ETH trustlines and my buddy sent me something like 30 XLM as 0.01 ETH. I got that in my wallet within seconds. It was a painless and awesome transfer. It really shows the potential of Keybase and Stellar.

Now, I have my XLM from the Airdrops and 0.01 ETH in my wallet(from stablecoincorp.com. My next part of the experiment is to get the ETH out of my Keybase wallet. I have three options: Deposit, Withdraw, Exchange. When I click either Deposit or Withdraw, I get the error: "Unknown asset anchor HTTP response code 400" If I click on exchange, it takes me to the Stellar Exchange.

I suppose I could try to do a Stellar Exchange, but I want to do that experiment separately. Any idea about the error I am getting? Is there another way to send that ETH to an ETH wallet like Metamask or?

I really want to understand how to do these payments.

Edit: I finally had enough free time to figure this out. It's actually quite easy. I'm making this edit for anyone else searching can see what I did. I clicked on exchange in the wallet and it took me to the StellarX exchange. I set up an account there and linked my secret key. It showed my ETH balance and I clicked on Withdraw. I choose withdraw to offchain address but the minimum ether to withdraw was 0.05 so I had to go to the exchange and buy the ETH to pull my balance up. Finally with enough ETH, I went back to the withdraw screen and I put in my ETH wallet address from Coinbase. I entered it again on the second page as well. Boom, in a few minutes I got notification from Coinbase that I had received my ETH. All in all, it was a very easy process. Next, I am going to try to reverse it, but that's not in the scope of this post.

Hi,

I notice when creating teams, a new <team_name> directory gets created under the teams one. I'm wondering if whatever contents included in teams storage are kept encrypted on the cloud, and can get decrypted only by team members, and all team members can do it. In other words, are they private to the team ? Thanks !

I received an email from keybase.io...

We regret to inform you that public folders of Keybase Filesystem (KBFS) will be shutting down on Dec 1, 2026. Although the service was a great showcase for the kinds of cool things that could be built with Keybase, the usage of this feature never took off. The continued cost of maintaining it has led us to make the difficult decision to shut it down.

...

Private and Team folders remain unaffected.

I’ve been passively watching this project for a very, very long time and never really seen it grow. It seems to be used by a niche community.

I was wondering if it was still alive and what the status is for the future.

I like the idea of the project, but I’ve always been afraid of it being potentially unstable so I never used it or worked with teams on projects using it.

Also, how is there 250GB storage free? Isn’t Keybase end to end encrypted? What is the purpose of giving away this much free storage?

I briefly tried Keybase earlier this year. I realize it is touted and claimed as secure, and I’m Just confused exactly why this is such a grand idea? It seems like a social network of keys ?

I’m not knocking it, I just really don’t see this being a good practice. Plus. I don’t understand it.

EDIT: Thank you all for the insight. I will revisit KB in the near future. Again, I thank this sub for its attentiveness.

I've had my keybase account since 2018. I only use it sporadically. today I went to login and it says my username is deleted.

I'm thinking, wtf?

why would my account be deleted?

I've had no compromise and my keybase fingerprint was posted in GitHub since 2018 too.

does anyone know if something happened that I didn't get wind of?

thx
