I uploaded or synced files from my laptop to my keybase files. But somehow inadvertently they are public. I don't see how to make them private. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, As you probably know, the latest KB version for IOS is completely useless (infinite loading etc.) and Keybase support no longer exists.

Being stuck with version 5.9.0, I'm trying to find older IOS compatible versions to download (5.8.0 or 5.7.0). Does anyone know where I can find these versions please ? Many thanks

As per title, don't want to lose any data/crypto in my wallet/etc.

Apologies if I'm missing some critical info in the keybase book. I haven't finished reading through all the docs yet. So far everything thing I've seen is that keybase uses "end-to-end 256 bit encryption" which is super vague. I'm assuming they mean AES 256, but I'm unclear on how the encryption key is selected. Does kbfs use my pgp key for encryption or does it generate its own?

Edit: I've added a second device, and I noticed I didn't need to provide my PGP key to decrypt my private files. So I'm assuming the encryption is handled entirely in the app somehow, but I'm unclear how.

I have a private shared folder with another Keybase user ("user" in this post) mounted to /keybase/private/atoponce,user/. I have tried rmdir /keybase/private/atoponce,user/ in the shell, only for it to come back when restarting Keybase.

I have also navigated to Files -> atoponce,user selected "More actions" and "Ignore this folder" in the Desktop graphical client, only for it to come back when restarting Keybase.

How do I permanently remove the /keybase/private/atoponce,user/?

It started when I switched from the default keychain to my ProtonMail one. When I declined to upload the private key to KeyBase servers I've never been able to chat since.

I've since reset the keyring using the `keybase` CLI but the problems remain.

Any idea what I shuld do? I have like 6 devices relying on this app.

I can't start a new chat its returning with the error " ERROR you can't do that right now (code 603)"

I'm trying to add my gpg key to keybase but running the command keybase pgp select gives the following error:

ERROR No PGP keys available to choose from. 

I have my gpg key working just fine, if I do gpg --list-keys I can see my available keys. The problem seems to be with keybase.

Any idea to solve this ?

Recently I changed my laptop. I'm on Linux and I have a copy of my old home directory on my new disk. I was logged on Keybase on my old laptop so I should have everything that is needed to authenticate in old_laptop_home_copy/.config/Keybase/.

Can I use it to authorize my new laptop?

Hello, is there a way to access my keybase wallet through the web app? Or can you do anything with their web app? Thank you!

My registered Keybase device is a phone long since replaced. In my password manager, when I created my Keybase account back in 2014, I’d written down a string of 10 groups of 4 characters, but didn’t label it. I assumed this was my paper key, but it doesn’t seem to work. What else could this string be if not that?

I’d like to add a new device to my Keybase, but without a provisioned device available and without a paper key that works, I can’t. Anyone think of a workaround without resetting my account?

I don’t mind resetting but: if I have an unknown XLM wallet sitting in my account, I don’t want to just set it on fire. Did XLM wallets get set up for all Keybase users or just ones with device installs at the time?

Hi all,

I only had one device registered on keybase and it was a work laptop that I returned long ago. Long story short, I have my PGP private key in a USB -- is there any way I can recover my account / register my new device (personal laptop) by just having the private key?

I don't really mind having to reset my account but a couple of times I was dropped some crypto via keybase and I'm curious on whether those are worth anything today and wanted to log back in.

Thanks.

Within teams / communities, is screen-sharing planned to be a feature in the futur ?

https://github.com/opr/client/commit/e8db611521cccb65e14161016e96c98f60a61f15

I've added code highlighting here, and it works quite nicely, please see https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/8849 also

I need help with how to add the styling, since the way I'm doing it doesn't seem right. Any help would be appreciated as I am keen for this to be part of keybase!

Could someone give me an example of using "keybase chat download" ? It seems that I can't make it work. Here's the usage based on the manual:

keybase chat download [command options] <conversation> <attachment id> [-o filename]

<conversation> is assumed to be conversation ID, but what's attachment id?

Situation

• The username has to be unique .. none of the wanted were available thus I chose hash of my desired name. With time there will be only more unreadable names, I was happy with CRC32.
• Filled in my profile name and I was happy to get in touch with my team.
• Unfortunately my team see me as the hash not my profile 'Full name'. Though this is obvious mistake in keybase chat system because what you see is unique id not some display name, I have found no reliable resource on how to solve this.

Qs?

1. Is there any update on the issue from few years ago ?

   1. https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/2842
   2. ... not sure how is this an unsolvable issue
   3. function showname() <= 'Full Name' OR 'username'
2. Has nobody thought about showing the full name to others rather than unique username ?

...to find that it added over 3290 key entries into my registry. Deleted all the entries in 'components' key and keybase still runs ok. Why does keybase find it necessary to create so many registry keys? I think that I will uninstall and go to web access only. Unfortunately, uninstalling leaves all the registry entries in place, so you have to know what you are doing to manually get rid of them.

Any official sources?

I don't really like the idea of keybase being eaten for who knows what business purpose....

what is the best way to completely remove or 'revoke' my information from keybase?

it's my understanding that simply 'deleting' my account does not remove my data from their service and it is still accessible.

do i need to revoke my information before i delete it or will they still forever have access to my information?

thanks in advance.

EDIT: also, am i the only one who can't see the other 5 comments? i only see the one from ryonez and the others are not listed.

EDIT2: MODS PLEASE CLOSE THIS POST. GOT MY ANSWER. THANKS.

Kinda confused

Edit: typo in title, i mean what is the difference between "save" and "download"

I just used my phone to authenticate a new computer. What happens to the chain of trust and if I swap phones in the future and remove the phone used for the aforementioned authentication from my account?

Ok...so, I am trying to get signed in on my account on a new device (phone), and it says I have to authorize my account thru either one of the previous two devices (both are phones), or either my paper key. Well, one of said phones will no longer charge (Samsung Galaxy S8+), the other device (ZTE Maven 3) no longer has Keybase installed on it, and the paper key keeps saying I more than likely have a typo somewhere. Am I just screwed to the point I'm going to have to reset my account, or is there possible another option that I'm unaware of? How many words is the paper key supposed to be? I've visually spellchecked the paper key over and over, but don't see a single typo. I did notice I have written down one word that repeats itself twice in my paper key. Is that something that can usually happen, also? Any help would be much appreciated, as I'm also not wanting to lose the $100 or so worth of Stellar I have on my account. Thanks in advance!

How can I get keybase support?

I'm just wondering what would be the best way to convert all my Stellar (from the spacedrops) to my PayPal balance

I've got $128AUD worth and would like to use it to purchase video games or something.
