Keybase, please just support web of trust already. In some way. Not everyone I want to be able to authenticate necessarily has public social media accounts.

- JBiserkov 9y agoDo they have a website/server? #1. Host a file on your site You can host a text file, such as yoursite.com/keybase.txt. This is preferred, if you have a website. #2. Set a DNS TXT record Instead of hosting a web page, you can place a keybase proof in your DNS records.
- ris 9y ago> Do they have a website/server? Not necessarily. I'm talking about people who want to remain anonymous (or pseudonymous) and might want to keep as low a public online profile as possible.
- Nala_Alan 9y agoThey support PGP, so you can use this.
- mrsteveman1 9y agoThey support PGP keys, but I don't think anything in the keybase UI or proofs will reflect key certifications made in PGP's web of trust. You can "track" people, but that's not the same thing. It should be possible to augment the existing proofs with the WoT relationships, which could be valuable in a small number of cases. However, it wouldn't surprise me if more people started using Keybase because of this one blog post, than have ever used PGP's web of trust features.
