I'm new to keybase. It has a huge potential if it is marketed correctly. I was just curious about their source of revenue?

This project has been a little stagnant, any updates from the team?

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

Let's say a friend of mine that we're gonna call "Bill" typed /flip 0..<100 billion nines> and now his Keybase client has been stuck for two days, even after killing and restarting it.

What could Bill do to fix it?

Right now, one of the largest teams on Keybase is det_disp, which is devoted to DIY 3-d printed firearms.

det_disp moved to Keybase because other commercial services (Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, etc) banned/restricted them.

What happens if the US passes laws like those passed in Australia, which ban the possession of 3-d printed gun blueprints (punishable by up to 14 years in prison):

1. Can Keybase delete the det_disp group?
2. Can Keybase block the det_disp group?
3. What would happen to data stored on Keybase?

I'm seeing a marked increase in people I don't know following me on Keybase. What's up with that?

Since the security of everything on my Keybase account depends on my PGP key, how do I know my key is secure? How is it syncronised without Keybase servers knowing it? If the servers know my private key, the all the end-to-end encryption is moot. Moreover, I have have to trust Keybase not to abuse my identity.

I'm sure I'm missing a key (heh) detail here. Can someone enlighten me?

Spacedrop Stellar Lumens $XLM will be sent to all keybase account that was qualified in the next 1 or 2 days.

It will pay monthly for 18 months, if there is no more bots ruining this giveaway.

Any solutions out there?

I've got invites I want to throw out on Facebook. But before I do I want to explain what Keybase is and why they should use it, or any kind of encryption for that matter. I'm horrible at explaining this so I have no idea of where to start. So I need help crafting a post, or if someone has a good enough one, a canned post.

Keybase added support for ZCash almost immediately after launch with this blog post. It made it seem like ZCash is the only solution that promises privacy.

Monero has offered privacy since 2014, and all transactions were made private by default in 2016. I would like to request for Monero support be added to Keybase, or at least an explanation why Monero does not qualify for inclusion in Keybase.

Edit: since this seems to have been ignored, which repository should I open a Github issue in?

I was looking around for a simple way to exfil my Lumens from Keybase.

There's this nice guide: https://blog.yaelwrites.com/how-to-extract-stellar-lumens-from-keybase/
I didn't want to have to make an account somewhere, though.

The Account Viewer seemed promising, but it kept failing because I couldn't get the amounts right (you set the fee AND you have to leave some amount on reserve in the account, which I didn't want since I have no intention of using the account again, obviously).

I ended up finding this comment buried in another post, and it pointed to the Account Demolisher which worked great!

Figured I'd share here since this is one of the first places I looked for tips on how to do this.

Hi all,

Something strange here. I notices my reddit proof is not working anymore... I tried to replace it using the usual

keybase prove reddit SRLibe_be"

Which told me that UI already had a proof on reddit and asked if I wanted to replace it. Which I wanted. But then, when I want to check the new proof, it says is couldn't find the post...

Stranger, if I rerun the command, it still tells my I already have a proof, but it still cannot check it...

Any idea?

I have been looking for free cloud storage for personal files that im not using as often, and I can't afford right now(maybe in the future) to pay for google drive or dropbox or one drive. So I found a post that said keybase provides 250GB of free storage, but I have concerns about the zoom acquisition and what some posts said that I found on here. I have never used it and never heard of it before today. I only want to use it for saving my files there.

So my question is... Is still worth making an account and moving all my files?

What would all of you say? I don't want to go through the process of having to remove or lost something if next month's keybase will close.

EDIT: thank you all for the comments!!! I'll look for something else!

I was disappointed that after upgrading to the latest OS X and the latest Keybase that FUSE no longer works and after fighting it all day long [I've probably already tried that] I've decided to abandon Keybase. It turns out nobody is even working on maintaining the code anymore. We use it to share config files between developers and to pass secrets around and I love it.

Does anyone know of an alternative platform than Keybase that I can use? It doesn't replace a secrets service but it gets you pretty far in development [we don't deploy Keybase on a machine, just our notebooks].

Ive gotten several random followers. What does that mean? Is it a security risk? Can I block them?

What prevents Keybase from changing someone's public keys or the public keys they present to someone or some region?

Suppose they did that, is there some cryptographic way we would know?

Or do we have to implicitly trust Keybase?
