How exactly is signing a transaction on a user's behalf a backdoor? Headline seems extremely clickbaity.
At worst it's sketchy. For me as a user I don't even really care. Should they have asked for explicit consent? Yeah I guess...
- segmondy 7y agokeybase uses private/pub key. if keybase can use your private key to sign on your behalf, then maybe they can use that same private key to read private documents, transfer money, etc. no one but the user should ever have or know about the private key.
- hrdwdmrbl 7y agoThey write the software so they can likely do whatever they want with your key, even if it's only decrypted client-side. At the end of the day I still trust them which is necessary with all software, especially closed-source software.
