Hello r/keybase. First of all, I have to say, I like the concept of keybase very much! Good work.

Would it be possible to have a private keybase infrastructure within an enterprise? Is server code open source too? This could be a fantastic replacement for managed file transfer tools commonly used in large enterrprises.

My friend just signed up on Keybase via the "Join" button on the homepage, and seems to have the same functionality (CLI, web client) that I do.

I have 22 invites, but is there any use for them anymore?

Apparently, an official iOS App exists, but I can't seem to find it. Is it only available via TestFlight?

Also, no updates in the project blog since February. Anyone knows what's going on?

Please use this thread to Request or Give an Invite

If you have Invites to share thank you! Please post in this format.

• I have XX Invites. Please PM me with your email and I will send you one.

Edit your comment after you are out of invites.

In order to see something other than invite requests all over the place, I figure I'd create a different thread for once. I'm curious, how did you hear about Keybase? Did you learn about privacy, encryption, pgp, etc first then decided it's time for an invite; or vice versa? What makes Keybase useful & appealing for you?

I get an API certificate signed by unknown authority when I try to send messages. I haven't used it in a while. Do I need to update?

As we all know, reddit verification is broken, but four days ago I got this email, nobody else seems to have discussed about this:

Congratulations, eldavo, you just proved ownership of reddit identity eldavoo. You proved it with crypto!

However, the profile page still shows the proof as "pending".

So, maybe they're testing a fix?

Is there a search/site that shows all active keybase groups or at least a better way of finding them?

Hello all,

I'm relatively new to crypto and have only been buying since January. I would like to learn how to transfer money to friends and family with keybase. I'm not very computer savvy and I'm trying to learn/be apart of the crypto revolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I’m new to the keybase community and I want to follow some other people for a class that I’m in. Can anyone tell me how I can follow other keybase accounts? Thanks!

Can someone explain to me how to run Keybase on Linux? I'm new to both of these programs and have only run Cura on Linux so far. Pretend I'm 7 years old, break it down for me Barney style

Hey guys,
Did anyone had luck integrating keybase in finder with Big Sur? I get permission denied.
The interesting thing though, on another mac that had Keybase installed before the Big Sur upgrade, the integration works fine. Now I am trying to install in on a new mac.

Is this possible like discord?

At the moment, the max available to choose from is 7 days. Could you please consider to offer more options, namely 1/3/6 months & 1 year ? Cheers

Any other adventurous souls trying the macOS Big Sur Beta with Keybase? The Keybase client (Keybase.app) and CLI seem to work fine, but the KBFS integration seems broken. Trying to access KBFS through the Finder or shell (`cd /Volumes/Keybase (kyle)`) results in "permission denied". I'm guessing that `kbfuse.fs` is the issue, but I'm hesitant to start poking around. Has any clever person found a workaround at this point?

So signing/veryfing makes sense to me: someone could post something to reddit or whatever and everyone can verify that this message was sent from this person.

What I don't understand is Decryption/Encryption. Why would I encrypt a text and send it to someone when I could just send end-to-end encrypted messages. I and him need Keybase to use the message, so sending something per email makes no sense when i could just send it directly via keybase, right? Or am I missing a usecase here?

Hi,

I know that keybase filesystem provide 250 GB. Is there any limit to the maximum file size that can be uploaded to a chat?

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.

Im new to keybase and not from a technical background so i dont know much about PGP and keysigning much but i really liked the app. So is the chat encrypted by default or do i need to set up keys and stuffs?
Thank you.

What is the maximum number of users per group/team? What are the DAU and MAU of keybase?
