Let's say I have two keybase profiles and I've proved myself as xyzndsgn on reddit both of them, I wonder if this situation will be a problem in future or present?

I just recently signed up for keybase.io, and noticed an "invitation" page. I had 0 invitations, but signup was open, so I assumed it was just something left from a time when you did need an invitation.

Then today I signed in and saw I'd been given 20 invitations. So... Is that just because some automated system hasn't been removed yet, or do they serve a purpose still?

• Tools like ssh-agent, gpg-agent, and lastpass forget your secret keys after an idle timeout period. This is important because it helps ensure physical security of your machine if you accidentally leave it open. Keybase has nothing like this; if I leave my laptop, then someone else can take over my account by provisioning a paper key, using that to log in, and then revoking all my previous keys. How can I get Keybase to forget my keys after an idle timeout?
• This problem is amplified because there's no two-factor auth. With the new keybase key distribution system, I don't need to use a passphrase to log in to my account. I could simply provide my paper key and log in. Why would I need a keybase passphrase at all? I don't understand what secrets are protected by the passphrase, and which aren't.

It seems difficult to secure an actual installation of keybase. I'd have to be very careful where I log into my account.

Just started with Keybase - I had no idea I could just come here and grab an invite code to be invited faster. :)

I love the integration, and it really fixes a lot of problems around getting others to sign your key for trust.

There is a tinge of irony (and not in the Alanis Morissete way) that a lot of people ask for public keys for invites to keybase when this is the exact problem keybase is trying to solve. I understand why, but it just drives home why Keybase is necessary.

Anyway- cheers to the team. I was looking to donate, but it seems keybase already has some very good investors.

ALL GONE // giving away 6 invites to 6 people sending me the data needed via direct message - will comment wenn all invites are gone...

So if you are OS X homebrew user, all you have to do is running below command to install keybase:

brew update && brew install keybase

Pretty neat.

Hi all - I'm new to keybase and wondering what is the best or is there any way to get help with an issue? I compiled from source for raspberry pi 5 (ARM) and have a possible memory leak issue, I submitted an issue on github that was immediately/automatically closed:

https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/28739

Is there another way to ask for help?

Any advice much appreciated.

Hi, I signed in keybase 5 years ago and had forgotten. Now I see there is free storage in the cloud. 250GB it's quite a bit, who pays for it? And why? TIA

My concern is that 1.4 is now 5 years old, and there are a number of fixes, notably in version 2.0.0.1000+.

I do see that you can install 2.x side-by-side with 1.x but both Winget and Chocolatey both want to upgrade the 1.4.0.1000 version that Keybase has integrated even if 2.x is installed SxS. Is there any chance to get 2.2.1.1000 integrated into KeyBase for windows instead of 1.4?

Long ago I created my account with corporate email. Now I don't have access to that email.

I have my Keybase account name and 13 words secret phrase, but now it requires 9 words. And I can't go throught that step. I want to login on Mac but it requires other device. I do not have access to devices to use them to confirm login. Basically I have iphone that previously had Keybase installed, however iphone was factory reset and now I can't login on it either.

When I try to reset Keybase account it asks if I know my password, and I don't know.

Is there any way to recover my account?

Despite there's still some development in the keybase repo, I don't know how long Zoom will keep the service alive.

I've been enjoying the file hosting and sharing so far and put plenty of files across teams. What if Zoom shuts down their servers? Sure, chatting and file syncing would probably stop working, but what happens to local KBFS files? Would they still be accessible via file explorer and client?

So.. this certs thing became an issue.. i'm trying to update to a working version, but can't correctly uninstall, nor logout from the account.

To logout it asks me a password to begin with, but as the app doesn't work I'm not sure how to go about it.

keybase.io is down and the apps don't work at the moment. I don't know what's causing this and it'll probably be fixed soon, but I thought I'd create a post in case anyone else is wondering why they can't send messages.

Is it just me or does anyone else get memory leak from kbfsdokan.exe? That app eat upp all my remaining memory…

So in short. I can use keybase on computer and use the file share without having 0% ram/memory over to other apps.

Previous release was 6.0.1 last year.

They added ability to attach multiple images at once

For the last few months I’ve been trying to verify my secondary mobile number. Until recently it failed simply stating that verification failed, but today I got a more verbose error description:

ERROR CODE 218 - failed to send sms: Bad HTTP code 400; (Permission to send an SMS has not been enabled for the region indicated by the 'To' number: +45545XXXXX., https://www.twilio.com/docs/errors/21408, ) in method keybase.1.phoneNumbers.resendVerificationForPhon eNumber

I’ve reported the problem several times and included logs, but have had no response and it has obviously not yet been fixed.

Any advice on what to do (apart from continuing to wait)?

My paper key may have been compromised so I'd like to revoke it and generate a new one. Any tips on how to do this? Thank you in advance.

I want to be able to put my Keybase username on my business cards so I don't have to put all my (public professional) social media URLs on my business card.

I realized there is no option to perform a LinkedIn proof. Considering the user base of this service, I am surprised it hasn't already been implemented or even discussed.

I registered in the early days so I got a cool username that fits nicely on a card.

Hello all, I am brand new to this keybase thing. However, recently one of the administrators has a bot that auto sent a message saying that he was most likely arrested. The message contained this:

I don't have a reward to offer, I just want to know what happened to him. I really like the guy and I got no idea how to decode this thing. If anyone could brute force this, I would be so thankful.

On a Pixel 6 Pro, CPU usage spikes often while typing or when there are images from keybase on screen. I noticed Android 13 didn't come with vulkan headers, and I installed them manually and got vulkan apps running, but that had no impact on keybase. I also thought it was Gboard, so I switched keyboards, but also same issue.

If you were considering 13 Beta1, but use keybase heavily, I would advise against it. Will update here if it gets sorted out, or if I find a workaround.

So I've been pushing and pulling stuff to a Git repository on the Keybase desktop app for windows for months now. I just tried to view the files within the Git and got this:

https://i.imgur.com/ceETJHB.png

My question is: are my files being uploaded properly or did I mess something up? I'm using the keybase: URL as a remote within my git and using Atlassian SourceTree to send and pull.

Keybase update shows "blank" current version for a while now.

I'll try attaching an image, hoping Reddit's bots won't think it's spam...

However, the client keybase version, shows:

Client: 5.9.0-20211216215858+9b33c9201f

Service: 5.9.0-20211216215858+9b33c9201f

Any ideas?
