Gotta say, I didn’t expect Keybase to do this after they announced their partnership back in 2018[0] Automatically attesting keys with no user consent? Not good. This implies you are happy and willing to add arbitrary attestations to a users profile. For now you presumably have a rationale. But this is a can of worms I don’t think should have been opened.

Looking at the issues is interesting: https://github.com/keybase/client/search?l=Go&p=1&q=xlm&type=Issues https://github.com/keybase/client/search?l=Go&p=1&q=xlm&type... and https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+xlm https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues?utf8=%E2%9C... - apparently running a crypto airdrop is still a way to get user numbers up...

> Automatically attesting keys with no user consent? Not good. Yeah. That's why Keybase doesn't. The app tells you exactly what you're doing, and requires you to confirm you want to do it. It even has a scary warning about cryptocurrencies.
