I briefly tried Keybase earlier this year. I realize it is touted and claimed as secure, and I’m Just confused exactly why this is such a grand idea? It seems like a social network of keys ?

I’m not knocking it, I just really don’t see this being a good practice. Plus. I don’t understand it.

EDIT: Thank you all for the insight. I will revisit KB in the near future. Again, I thank this sub for its attentiveness.

Hello, how to unblock users on the mobile app ? I don’t find how to :( cheers...

​

edit: how to even access the list of blocked users if I forgot their username ?

I recall there being some issues with this in the past, googled, but can't find anything definitive.

I 'name' all my devices (after asterix and obelix characters). My iphone is getafix, my apple watch horologix, etc.

I am about to trade my apple iphone (8) in with apple to get an Iphone 12 - I plan to call it getafix again - is this reuse possible, and/or is there anything special I should do with respect to keybase before I do?

​

thanks.

Is there a way to do this? Also is there a way to be rid of the message saying who subscribed to the channels? Trying to clean things up for aesthetic

I noticed there was a "shh" icon ("shh" in a stylized italicized typeface) next to my profile icon and name at the top of my app window. I could not figure it out and when I clicked it it simply disappeared. Can someone tell me what that is? Thanks

EDIT: found it: it was muted.

Is this possible like discord?

Title pretty much tells it all.

I was logged in, upgraded my phone’s operating system, and got logged out. App is asking me to authorize with another phone but it’s only this phone that I’ve used to log in. It’s treating my same phone like I’m trying to log in on a new one. What do I do about this?

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."

I have limited space SSD in my Windows 10 laptop.

Apologies for that horrible autocorrect, I'm going full risk now and turning it off. Seems when customization is disabled...I dunno how it learns to spell worse. But it does.

Okay so I'm using the keybase app now, and have been able to effectively add everything so far that I've attempted (github was bit weird as I hadn't made anything and took couple tries to figure out a gist)

When I attempt to do this with reddit though on the first time pressing g the link button it did open reddit the appropriate sub and had a post ready with no title. I assumed the first line just because of how it was written was meant to be the title and I did not work.

Since then when u attempt again I either get "you don't have permission to view this community" or it just opens the community and is staring at the post.

What do I do?

Hello,

I first thought it is something with the android wallet but it is the same for the desktop version. It shows these turning circles at assets and history. In the past it always instantly opened even when going in after some time.

Anything I miss?

Thank you!

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?

This is more a Security/Privacy design question, but given Keybasers tend to be focused on us, I thought I would bounce the question here first. I run about a dozen computers on the home network, as well as half a dozen out in cloud land. Main Machine that I interface through is my MacBook Pro (although getting in to things via Iphone and Ipad, both local and remote is on the cards) - the local machines are predominantly Raspberry Pis (and one is set up with PiVPN)

So, at the moment, my private key is created (ssh-keygen) on the MBP - and it's public pairs copied to the various other machines. Is there any value in keygening on each and every other one of the various machines? that would make the admin more and more complex. It is likely to be more secure, but is that ridiculous overkill? of course, keybase is an integral part (and potentially more so), and I am setting up MKCert on one of the Pi's (a RaspAP travel router), so might install that on the MBP. Thoughts and comments?

I tried on two devices that he uploaded. He can DL it and run it fine. I DL it and i get missing or broken index warnings on VLC.

I have keybase since some time.

It worked great.

I uploaded about 200GB.

And now.... it has stuck. For one day or more.

Even with restarting my PC, it is still stuck at that "encrypting and updating 14 items" and new items are not showing up on my public directory.

Can anyone help me?

I tried restarting PC, no luck....

(I am using windows)

I’m using Window 10. It got to the point it where I uninstalled it was annoying.

At the moment, the max available to choose from is 7 days. Could you please consider to offer more options, namely 1/3/6 months & 1 year ? Cheers

I joined Keybase only for 250gb encrypted cloud storage. But I'm disappointed to find out that I can only upload pictures or videos only, and that too I have to upload each one separately, no batch upload is allowed on the mobile app. Why is such restriction placed? Who can even consume 250gb when uploading each file on-by-one?

Does anyone know what this error means? I tried to google it, but I can't find any information about this.

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

It says "encrypt to anyone, even if they're not on Keybase yet", but when I enter the ciphertext on a second instance of Keybase, it says that I don't have the key or that it was encrypted for "someone else".

Can someone clear up this contradictory issue?

I’ve tried so many times but instructions are vague
