• A New Form of Verification on Bluesky

  It might have been Keybase? https://keybase.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

• Ask HN: Are there web-of-trust style online communities?

  Perhaps Lobsters? https://lobste.rs/about#invitations >The full user tree is public and each user's profile shows who invited them. This provides some degree of accountability and helps identify voting rings. For a single community like Lobsters, you don't need the digital signatures part at all. Keybase https://keybase.io/ has a feature to help you aggregate different identities/accounts, though I'm not sure how... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

  Keybase — Keybase is a FOSS alternative to Slack; it keeps everyone's chats and files safe, from families to communities to companies. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Why Keybase?

  Along with many others, I did the Keybase identification thingy - adding the key on my Hacker News profile. Do you still use Keybase, how, why — what’s different?

• Privacy on RM2

  I've been using Quiver for a few years, configured to store its notes in a Keybase directory so they're stored securely and sync'ed across my machines. However, Quiver has its own issues - you can add tags on items but you can't do anything with them. Also, it seems the developer has stopped doing any maintenance on the program, the last update was a few years ago, so I'm looking for another solution. I keep... Source: over 1 year ago

• Is the hidden .onion address working for anyone?

  Connecting through the Tor browser, the official .onion address displayed on keybase.io isn't working for me. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What are the big/important problems to work on?

  Solving the trust and bad actor problems on the internet, without turning the internet into a set of restrictive walled gardens. Personally I think it's partly solvable with a combination of cryptographically signed HTML elements and a web of trust similar to Raph Levien's https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advogato or https://keybase.io/ But it's going to be a big piece of work. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Feature Request: Deviate from PGP standard

  As a real-world example, last week at $DAYJOB I needed to send some passwords to a cow-orker in another part of the world, who doesn't use Keybase yet. The message body containing the passwords was encrypted, but the "email subject line" said something innocuous like "Baseball scores". Source: almost 2 years ago

• is it possible to map Proton Drive to a local Folder on Linux?

  This is probably the biggest reason I use KBFS, which is part of Keybase. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What are these Keybase URLs I see in many HN profiles?

  This is not guerilla marketing, I swear. I see these https://keybase.io public key URLs in many HN profiles. Of course, I checked out the website and I get the gist of it. But is it actually really popular? For active Keybase users, what do you use it for primarily? - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• About that Proton Messaging App...

  I use Keybase for encrypted "chat", plus for the encrypted global shared filesystem, plus encrypted git repos, all of which are available for talking/sharing between sets of two or more people, or for "teams" which allow people to be added or removed dynamically. (It does more than just these things, but these are what I primarily use it for.). Source: about 2 years ago

• Is Keybase dead?

  As per 1. It makes an impression of something on life support since 1087 days - there is hardly any update on keybase.io (date has been updated on the page), blog is dated 5/7/2020, some services were shut down - recently keybase.pub. There are some commits on github, mainly cosmetics and bug fixings. IMO it's closer to dead than alive. Source: about 2 years ago

• YOUR OPSEC SUCKS | UHQ SCHIZOID OPSEC GUIDE | BECOME BULLETPROOF

  Another good site but is currently invite only is Keybase.io which allows you to confirm someone else's PGP key, fingerprint, BTC address, social media accounts, etc. Keybase: https://keybase.io/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Why is Pavol Rusnak's PGP PUBLIC KEY on keybase.io longer than on rusnak.io ?

  Is one of them fake? The one on keybase.io is longer. The beginning part is the same but eventually it's different text. Source: over 2 years ago

• Keybase PGP crytpo

  Does anyone use keybase.io's crypto tool to decrypt and encrypt using PGP keys? Source: over 2 years ago

• Keybase.pub https certificate expired

  This breaks any proofs that are hosted on the Keybase FileSystem at https://keybase.io/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Open-source social media integrator for personal use?

  Keybase does a good job at multi-platform identity validation, but it doesn't address the requirement for bridging platforms. Somebody else mentioned matrix for bridging, and that probably works for that purpose. Source: over 2 years ago

• Sharing secrets in a git repository using Keybase

  What is Keybase? It is a social network where the profiles are associated with encryption keys. Those profiles can be verified using several integrations from a Twitter, Facebook or GitHub account to your bitcoin wallet. So you can use the public key of one of the profiles you follow to encrypt a letter or a file, and just that person can decrypt it. You can read more about it at https://keybase.io/. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
