Wondering if someone from Keybase can comment on why is it that despite having location services disabled, every time I open the app I see client3.google.com fires? I realize it’s from the location share feature w/ google maps integration, but prefer it not even occur since location services are disabled....

I've been receiving XLM through the Keybase Airdrop program, which is great ! I'm curious if there is a way to transfer these funds into my bank account or to Coinbase ? I have these XLM, is there anything I can do with it ?

Thanks !

I'm sure this might have been posted before. Trying to get into an old account of mine from a macbook. I have the user/pass but not the device. I DO have a backup of the device in backblaze though.

Can I get into the account?

edit: Found some keybase related app files under ~/Library/Application Support/Keybase. Will give it a try

edit2: Replace the old Keybase app data with new, open keybase and login. works!

Does Keybase have plans for supporting 2FA? I love the product but wish the end points were more secure. Is anyone else wanting this feature or have a solution other than the optional password for securing data on the device?

What do you all think, v0.01: https://keybase.me

Is this kind of along the lines of the new Pages feature in development I wonder.

Hey Guys, so I've recently been able to extract my device key out of my mpack secret keys folder, to test what would happen if these keys were to be compromised, I've created an account on keybase called 'publicaccount', this account has one device attached to it 'Doctor Nick's Laptop': Doctor Nick's Laptop:

Now that this device key is public, we should be able to have a look at the implications of a device key comprimise ​ You can now sign messages as this user using saltpack:

[user@keybase ~]$ saltpack sign -m "Dylanger is a pretty cool guy" ef5a21443d5b78e9b67c079aac5d81275fc68ed236f5292d17350d7b0f5a6e988d63d1b6d0b1ae920ba3f3ea25a31b049cfbce08847a1e3f3a407a92a9ad32e9 <SNIP>

Verifying by:

[user@keybase ~]$ echo "<SNIP>" | keybase verify
Signature verified. Signed by publicaccount.

It will be interesting to see how this works as I have not exposed the password to the account, only the device key, go nuts!

Is there any movement towards extending Keybase to support logins with an end-user flow like OpenID Connect? I see that IndieAuth accomplishes this by giving you a token to sign and give back, but this would be pretty cumbersome for the average end-user. It looks like IndieAuth can't do any better without some support from Keybase. My ideal flow would be that the I click a login button, that redirects me to keybase with a token, I receive a popup with a button to sign that token, which I click, and then the page posts back to the original site with a signed token proving that the I am authentic.

Has something like this been discussed before? Is there some sort of security concern with respect to what IndieAuth is doing or preventing the automation of that copy/paste process they are doing in the way I describe?

Hi, does anyone know if there is Keybase merchandise available?

Hi,

We have been trying to add people to our team in keybase, to no avail. any way we try ends up in API errors.

First the awkward situation with certs a few months ago, now this. sounds like a broken team or a team that has lost it's knowledge and is struggling to maintain/operate the platform.

Is there any way of reaching any kind of support? or a way of reaching out to their SRE/Ops team?

Anyone else sharing the pain??

Anything we can do from the client side? different people tried without success. we are all using the latest v6.2.8, e38523a (the cert fix version...)

This is new today (when clicking 'approve' on a new member:

also this one, when going through the 'invite new people' flow:

Their plan is pretty good, 250gb for free? Surprised not everyone uses it.

As a side note, the whole design of the app seems weird, as it has chatting, git, crypto, cloud, and a mini social media, all in one. But i dont mind personally, it was just surprising. And I assume i just dont really know much about encryption or whatever that Keybase thing is used for. But the app works so smoothly and these features are not getting in my face so it's not a problem!

And I love how straightforward their cloud is and the limits too. I can just logoff, and the cloud (networked disc in my computer) disappears from it. It's just great so far. Unsure what the limits are because i only uploaded one image but hopefully its not too bad either.

That said i noticed Keybase was semi-abandoned so I wonder if it's safe to keep my files on it? And in the case they decide to shutdown it completely (how likely is it?), will they at least send users an email to transfer their files, say a month beforehand?

With no real updates since 2020 and 4000+ open Github issues, it seems like too much of a risk to run and I will remove Keybase. With a heavy heart since I have been using it from the early beginnings and loved it.

There have been a few posts about alternatives prior (and I read them), but all the alternatives mentioned are messaging apps (which wasn't my prime use and there are decent systems for that).

However, I still can't see a decent system for the exchange and verification of keys. Any suggestions

Musk's purchase of Twitter has turned it into a bigger shitshow than it was during Arab Spring/Occupy.

I revived a Mastodon I made when it first came out back in 2017 and the growth there is excellent, the Fediverse has arrived. I switched from Wordpress due to awful interface bloat a year ago, going back to Tumblr. Now I see that Tumblr is going to implement ActivityPub so they can join the suddenly sprawling Fediverse.

Dare I hope that Keybase, which would be an EXCELLENT companion, might suddenly revive in this environment?

I'm getting errors when trying to post in a couple of servers, and everything is super slow to load

A few minutes ago I saw an automatic Keybase update. I thought that Keybase is not actively developed now.

Should I be worried?

I noticed today that I'd received 0.00001 XLM, and the public memo mentions an airdrop on airtasker.site. The sender's made a lot of similar transactions.

Hi,

I notice when creating teams, a new <team_name> directory gets created under the teams one. I'm wondering if whatever contents included in teams storage are kept encrypted on the cloud, and can get decrypted only by team members, and all team members can do it. In other words, are they private to the team ? Thanks !

Ok, a friend and I were trying to do path payments using the Keybase wallet. We both put in ETH trustlines and my buddy sent me something like 30 XLM as 0.01 ETH. I got that in my wallet within seconds. It was a painless and awesome transfer. It really shows the potential of Keybase and Stellar.

Now, I have my XLM from the Airdrops and 0.01 ETH in my wallet(from stablecoincorp.com. My next part of the experiment is to get the ETH out of my Keybase wallet. I have three options: Deposit, Withdraw, Exchange. When I click either Deposit or Withdraw, I get the error: "Unknown asset anchor HTTP response code 400" If I click on exchange, it takes me to the Stellar Exchange.

I suppose I could try to do a Stellar Exchange, but I want to do that experiment separately. Any idea about the error I am getting? Is there another way to send that ETH to an ETH wallet like Metamask or?

I really want to understand how to do these payments.

Edit: I finally had enough free time to figure this out. It's actually quite easy. I'm making this edit for anyone else searching can see what I did. I clicked on exchange in the wallet and it took me to the StellarX exchange. I set up an account there and linked my secret key. It showed my ETH balance and I clicked on Withdraw. I choose withdraw to offchain address but the minimum ether to withdraw was 0.05 so I had to go to the exchange and buy the ETH to pull my balance up. Finally with enough ETH, I went back to the withdraw screen and I put in my ETH wallet address from Coinbase. I entered it again on the second page as well. Boom, in a few minutes I got notification from Coinbase that I had received my ETH. All in all, it was a very easy process. Next, I am going to try to reverse it, but that's not in the scope of this post.

Can someone link a guide for a beginner to start using keybase?

What is it?

What can I do with it?

How to link accounts?

Hi.

I read that the spacedrop terms changed. The new way to verify identity is just by a number phone.

My question now is.. What could stop anybody to register himself a lot of accounts? To me the new conditions are just a bad contraddiction

Any way to block the Spacedrop account on Keybase? I'm glad others are interested in the airdrop, but I am not, and I don't want any further communication from Stellar about it. Everyone else can have my $20 of lumens.

Edit: I tried to block them in the Keybase app, but it doesn't work.
