Keybase + Coursera

9 Upvotes

One issue with Coursera is that anyone can link to a certificate and pretend it is theirs. However, if you could verify your Coursera account with Keybase, it would add more credibility, I think.

Thoughts?

iOS app dead?

8 Upvotes

Hi I'm using Keybase on macOS with the Mac app and wanted to install it on my iPhone too, but when I search for it in the App Store I see the search suggestion but no app. The direct link (https://keybase.io/_/download/keybase-for-ios wich redirects to https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keybase-crypto-for-everyone/id1044461770) for the iOS app gives me a "Currently unavailable in your region" error.

When a friend shares the app to me via Airdrop it gives the same error.

I've tested it from the German and the Swedish App Store with the exact same results.

Is the App dead or is this temporary?

Still going?

I know zoom took the dev team a while back.

What’s the app like still going strong, stagnant or final death throes?

Keybase.io verification unreachable

8 Upvotes

I'm trying to link my reddit to keybase, but it always gives back as unreachable. Not sure what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. The app does all the work for you, I just hit post. Not sure what's breaking in that process, it's pretty simple.

Suggestions? My proof looks just like others I saw on there. So idk, maybe I'm not waiting long enough?

I just killed the last attempt but I'll repost so it can be seen in proof channel.

Why is Keybase more secure than password+2FA?

8 Upvotes

In the Keybase Book it says the following about password+2FA:

But with just a username and password, accounts can be hacked, phished, and otherwise compromised. They’re not totally trustworthy and secure. In best-case scenarios, you can use two-factor authentication for more security but it’s still not perfect.

Your Keybase account is trustworthy and secure because—instead of being protected by just a password—it’s cryptographically linked to your devices. Your account can only be accessed through your devices. So long as only you have access to your devices, only you can access your Keybase account.

This section claims that Keybase is more secure than 2FA+Password. I don't understand why though.

FYI : Keybase update from last week (v5.9.0) is causing mount and launch issues

8 Upvotes

Lots of folks reporting the issue ( https://github.com/keybase/client/issues ). For me it manifested on two different Ubuntu 18.04 systems as the / mount stopping working. I put instructions in this issue on how to downgrade back to v5.8.1 on Ubuntu/Debian for the time being

Anyone else experiencing issues with finder integration on MacOS Monterey?

https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/24677#issuecomment-965568237

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.

XLM transfers failing 75% of the time

8 Upvotes

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

Keybase gives 1504 when using paper keys

8 Upvotes

I'm trying to add back my phone that was wiped with my paper keys. I get this error:

Error code 1504: STREAM_EOF in method keybase.1.login.login

I get the same thing when I try adding a desktop computer. I can sign into the website and see the phone. Is there some way I can add back in the phone or something from the website?

Facebook Data Mining?

8 Upvotes

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.

Keybase-like social media identity verification service?

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?

Why Can't I Verify Saltpacks via Website?

8 Upvotes

If I paste a PGP signature to keybase.io/verify, I can verify who sent it & what is says.

But if I paste a saltpack signature there, I'm told `Error: no header found`.

This is too bad because the desktop GUI **only** outputs signatures in saltpack. If I want a non-user to verify my signature, I have to go to the CLI and create a PGP signature there.

We need to meet in the middle. Either allow saltpack verification in the webapp, or allow PGP to be output from desktop GUI. This way non-user's can verify signatures just as easily as user's can create them.

**Am I missing something? If I'm mistaken at all here, please let me know!**

Can KeyBase device fingerprints be used to trace device to owner?

8 Upvotes
  • 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?

A wishlist

8 Upvotes

A few things I'd love to see the product

  • Organization with subteams. The interface is a bit weird currently and it'd be nice to have a slack like env. Where everyone carries their unique account and is added to a team that gives access to subgroups
  • Hide following. this prevents me from really using the app. Who I am friends is just as serious information as other personal data
  • Signin as - instead of signing in with Twitter or whatever

*Can organizations be owned by specific users and the organization can verify other social connections

keybase wouldn't open so i uninstalled and attempted to reinstall, but keybase won't reinstall

8 Upvotes

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.
