This is like snapchat, they're offering something that they can't actually guarantee. Of course keybase users are going to be generally more knowledgeable than snapchat users and most will understand the limitations.

- Someone1234 8y agoI quote this far too much on security but "Perfect is the enemy of good." Meaning, people often dismiss improvements because they're technically imperfect. And it isn't just random forum discussions, major technologies like secure DNS, secure email, etc were held back years because nobody could agree on compromises needed to make improvements.
- nebulous1 8y agoYeah, I agree. The fact still remains though. Snap chatters, through ignorance, were under the impression that it was impossible for their photos to be shared with others. This was due to snapchat's failure to inform their customers and the experience level of their customers. It's notable that the blog post doesn't mention this at all, but on the other hand I would think that the percentage of keybase users that don't immediately understand this is extremely small.
