Sorry mate, I was having a laugh with the social network bit, but I think we are both just saying the same thing. The product is in Alpha. It isn't ready yet. I just downloaded it and it says "This product is in Alpha". They will then move to private Beta then Beta then launch. So I think they will do what you are asking, but they are further behind. I guess my point was that they have a really long release cycle because this is a security project. Regardless, I have 9 invites so I am considering allocating a few to some non-technical friends now to get their take.

"Sorry mate, I was having a laugh with the social network bit," I kind of got that. Picturing "move fast and break stuff" applied to security would be a hilarious concept. So long as it was the competition doing it. :) "Regardless, I have 9 invites so I am considering allocating a few to some non-technical friends now to get their take." Now that's a good idea. Might help so long as they're the kind of people that go through extra trouble for privacy or control of their data. You'll know it's the case if they ask "what is a" or "how do you" on something everyone assumed was obvious. If that moment doesn't come, the UX team was really good. ;)

Curious, how did you go from behind 12k people asking for an invite to having 9? I figured aianus got you one but nine is some progress in a short time. ;)

  Chris Coyne (co-founder of keybase.io) seems to send them to new members. Unless he was on here, which is possible, I have no reason to suspect I received special treatment. It actually is fairly smart because you can grow your base by an order of magnitude and if you have set the culture of the people you invite, the site will blossom that way. I sent you an email to ask if you want an invite. If you get back to me I will send you one.
