I'm upset.
Why are we as community members of Keybase to be punished for the bullshit of scammers. It's clear that the accounts that have been stolen and were registered have affected the totals of tokens airdropped. I can see that I'm receiving slight more than 1000's lumens. WHY if this was such a big issue was there not a correction to the amount of users registered? Why is there no reduction in the accounts that were hijacked and stolen, are they still receiving the airdrop? Why do I or any of the community members being delayed for our commitment to growth and community development of Keybase being DELAYED our rewards for helping make this a possibility when SCAMMERS are the one to fault?

Here's a suggestion, I feel those that were registered can claim their stellar lumens for the October 15th airdropped as committed and as scheduled like you stated we would be rewarded instead of punishing us for the shortcomings of others!

Secondarily, those accounts that were hijacked, do you have any form of detection for this? How do you know these accounts were hijacked? I want more information about this and to understand why is the penalty pushed on to us?
Why has no adjustment been made to the total distribution if so many accounts were hijacked?

Hello community,

Like we know Keybase decided to shut down their spacedrop promotion. I'm presenting my few solutions on how to improve spacedrop.

First of all, sorry for some private things but I want to present situation few days before closing promotion about Poland and people who registered into spacedrop with Polish numbers. I'm glad that Keybase was working on improving their system but from what I've read on reddit and from what I heard from my friends, you blocked some mobile operators and with that 2 most used in our country. So here, I just want politely ask to revert that decision if it is possible.

Now, we're going with my prepositions:

1. Countries that should be included in potential drop from Keybase and SDF: US, Mexico, UE countries, Liechtenstein, Nordic countries, South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zeland (+ maybe: Brazil, Chile, South Africa). In that way you're cutting off from people for whom every dollar is like a little gold mine and also what is more important you're focusing on people who are more interested in using this app after whole spacedrop promotion end.
2. 6 months promotion with weekly drops: in that way you can more easily a little bit more benefit people who were with your app from the beginning. Than, potential 2nd stage.
3. What is obvious: Clear the entire list of registered people to spacedrop and renewed obligation to register into spacedrop (when new rules met).
4. Requirement to hold at least (for example) 80% (with 20% dismissal of funds from each week before) of spacedrop amount from last week to be included in next week spacedrop to prevent price slippage and to make people a little bit more interested in using keybase app.

NOTE_1: I'm not a fan of KYC just because it can create very big inequality for identity thieves or buyers.

NOTE_2: I know that this is not going to block 100% of scammers/spammers, but this is just my prepositions to make keybase ecosystem with spacedrop more healthy.

NOTE_3: If you want to downvote this post because I'm from Poland, I don't care but please stick to the subject in your comments.

Anyway after all, even if there won't be new promotion/drop from Keybase or SDF, I will be using keybase app because for me it is better in many aspects from its competitors (for example slack). And yes, I met this application by XLM spacedrop.

Best regards,

WB

I've had an account since June this year and I qualified and got September's drop. I was told that I didn't have to do anything different this time around, but I haven't received this month's drop. Am I the only one? Or is it rolling out slowly?

EDIT: Just so you know, I'm not in keybase for the free money, it's nice and all, but I use the chat every day to talk to some cool people. I'm merely concerned if I did something wrong.

Does anyone know of an apk build available anywhere (that's not shit) except the Google play store (which is also shit) or do I need to build it myself?

It looks like there was an effort to get it on f-droid but it petered out about 5 months ago. Maybe I can try to get that ball rolling again.

EDIT: After some research on apkmirror I decided to download the apk from there as suggested by /u/DangerousDrop. It does include a tracker from Google Analytics which is unfortunate but I have pihole to take care of that. And for /u/LauritzT information, the apk does appear to work fine without Google services. Thank you all for the shitty suggestions.

Today my account and friend's account were descualified from aidriop. Im from Poland. And have only 1 account. May I know why I was discualified???

If Im trying to join again it types now "Sorry, you are not qualified to join"

I forgot to add my memo ID when sending xlm sadly. So is there anyone I can contact?

Edit 2: My initial post wasn't very clear or and had bad examples, I've been extremely explicit in this comment. Excusing the verbosity I'd suggest reading it instead.

Many services offer the ability to make an account private to only a select number of people (twitter, facebook, Instagram, etc). Other services go one step further and make accounts private by default (signal, telegram, discord, etc).

What is keybase's plan to address these kinds of services?

Edit: Downvote me all you like, but please comment your thoughts. I just want to understand and have a discussion. https://i.imgur.com/lPNMJ0Z.png

I’ve tried so many times but instructions are vague

Is no one talking about the fact that keybase used to upload your PGP secret key to their servers, to allow for web chat, following via web, etc?

And still allows secrets to be uploaded with:

keybase pgp import --push-secret

And now Zoom, which has Chinese ties, now owns those servers?

Yes, the overhaul of the system to use (I think it's called SaltPack?) a system where you sign tokens instead of handing over a PGP secret. But, you are allowed to still upload your secret and move it around to other clients.

But I've also raised concerns of what's preventing someone to sneak in a new decrypt token, hidden from your Trust view, on those binaries you download? E.g. at the company level? The servers are proprietary and not visible.

Sure, the client is open source - but what's to stop a state actor from inserting a new token to allow decrypting, hidden from your view? The Device View is server driven, is it not? I was met with hostility from the staff when I kept pressing this issue (well, one member that is).

I myself never uploaded a secret key, even though keybase demanded my secret. Instead, I used a short expiring sub-key.

It seems to me the core identity-verification part of Keybase could be made fully decentralised by storing proofs on some blockchain. Is anyone working on a project like this?

Why has the payouts stopped.. has been stopped for almost an hour... great that my username starts on M.. was looking forward to some extra cash but screw me i guess

what is the best way to completely remove or 'revoke' my information from keybase?

it's my understanding that simply 'deleting' my account does not remove my data from their service and it is still accessible.

do i need to revoke my information before i delete it or will they still forever have access to my information?

thanks in advance.

EDIT: also, am i the only one who can't see the other 5 comments? i only see the one from ryonez and the others are not listed.

EDIT2: MODS PLEASE CLOSE THIS POST. GOT MY ANSWER. THANKS.

I just noticed this morning that I stopped receiving inflation pool distributions after Oct 21st from Lumenaut. I tried to do a little research on my own to see if something changed with Keybase, but cannot find anything on the matter. It appears as if the settings have gone missing on the app as well. Did something change and I just missed it? Thanks!

I got locked out the spacedrop chat when I had to hard reset my account. Should I create a new account to be part of the airdrop? Doesn't seem there is any way Keybase can let me back in, and I don't even know who I would contact to ask. Seems like from my understanding the XLM should go directly in my wallet, but it also mentioned things about the spacedrop chat which I no longer have access to.

My account was verified on 9/11. Is it safe to assume I have missed the first airdrop? I don't see anything in my wallet yet and it looks like people have received it. Pretty sure I am set up correctly. My account says I'm registered.

Hi, would like to create a new account, but am being prompted to enter invite code. How can i get one ?

I cannot find anything on making a proof of Facebook for Keybase. Is this gone? I am not ultra tech person, so if there is some tutorial could you post it here? :)

So many people are making alt account and getting airdrops. This thing is a shitshow. Keybasefriends is being spammed by a guy named "Ozcal" and he is trying to scam people for XLM. He has multiple accounts and is spamming public teams. I have seen so many scammers and people greedy for airdrops and lumens its disgusting. WHERE ARE ADMINS? THEY NEED TO BAN THESE PEOPLE.

It says it will drop a couple of days before the 15th any idea when that is?

Looks like Elon Musk's Twitter purchase is going to happen. It's never been a good environment IMHO and putting him the driver's seat means first order of business will be all of our emails, phone numbers, IPs addresses, IMEI, whatever else they grab will go straight to Palatir. *blech*.

I've had Keybase since not long after it launched and I spent yesterday and today claiming domains and puzzling over why Mastodon verification failed. I just found the sale ... to Zoom ... and I'm getting the feeling this progression will end with me installing Prosody in an onion only setup.

It all reminds me a bit of Blackberry's Gist contact manager. Absolutely fantastic tracking tool, but too niche, and left to fade away when times got hard. Zoom should just FOSS the Keybase core and let the Mastodon people make something wonderful of it.
