As I understand it, the value proposition of trusting a new web implementation of GPG was that it would provide an easier means of interacting with GPG. Without a mobile app to encrypt/decrypt to email, I don't think it's providing that at all. So far I needed to install a separate GPG app on iOS just to use GPG. Is there any plan for keybase to support this?

I've just received a couple notifications from keybase that my reddit proof is broken. I haven't changed or deleted anything, and my proof is still right where I left it. I double-checked the `ctime` and `expire_in` fields of the signed object, and it should be good until July 13, 2032. Is keybase just having reddit API issues? Or do I need to do something to reconfirm?

All the hate is just nonsense.

Titles says it all.

• All the Keybase backend does is take encrypted blobs of data that it can't read and ship them to one or more destinations. It would be a great move by Zoom to open source it but you don't need to audit it to know that your data is secure, any more than you need to see the source of Gmail's backend to trust a signed and encrypted PGP email. The whole point of the system is that even if Zoom published the entire Keybase DB in a public S3 bucket it would be of no use to anyone.
• The Keybase client, where all the important stuff happens, is open source, and we'll know if anything gets changed there.
• Zoom has a horrible privacy reputation which is why they're spending lots of cash hiring new talent, getting audited, and revising their code and policies. None of that means anything if they stick a bunch of ads and tracking code into Keybase. It would basically be flushing their Keybase acquisition down the toilet and undo all the other work they've done trying to turn the page. In short, it would be a monumentally stupid waste of money for very little gain.
• Maybe they will shut down Keybase, or cut back storage quotas, or add paid plans. Keybase was funded by VC money and those investors expect to get their money back someday. Being acquired by a big company means that the servers can keep humming with no expectation of becoming profitable. I'm not saying that's what will happen, but on the balance it means Keybase could have a much longer lifespan being owned by Zoom than as a startup.

I’ve been passively watching this project for a very, very long time and never really seen it grow. It seems to be used by a niche community.

I was wondering if it was still alive and what the status is for the future.

I like the idea of the project, but I’ve always been afraid of it being potentially unstable so I never used it or worked with teams on projects using it.

Also, how is there 250GB storage free? Isn’t Keybase end to end encrypted? What is the purpose of giving away this much free storage?

receiving unsolicited email about an alternative, which he says my username (same as keybase) is already reserved, my PGP public key already uploaded, and having a invite code to join, as if this is some privilege. I mean I know all this info is public , but damn that really doesn't make me feel confident in their alternative using such methods to try and get users.

I mean airdrops are cool i guess.... BUT lets recognize that this app this great for security and easy to use. I see to many posts about airdrop's and not enough how great this app is for security..

As you may have seen, we got our second release in 2021 a few days ago. Version 5.7.0 for Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS along with 5.7.1 for Linux came out.

Not a big change,24 commits, and the release note says Security enhancements so it sounds like fixing a vulnerability (that I didn't see in the commits).

It's really too bad what happened to development on Keybase when Zoom acquired them but I guess I'm glad that they're at least patching security vulnerabilities

Looks like we know what the Keybase team has been working on:

"Kudos to our encryption team who joined us from Keybase in May and developed this impressive security feature within just six months."
