  I am willing to bet it is about Stellar giving Keybase a lot of money to force a non-removable ad for their coin onto nearly every active keybase profile page. Still no way to get it off of there, save for a total account reset that wipes all data and connections. No warning or notice when you are offered to generate stellar keys for a wallet that it’s going to separately use your keybase key to also make a signature and post this permanent, non-removable ad to your profile page. https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/20022 https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/20022 Almost two months ago the Keybase guy said they were going to allow people to remove it; no progress as yet. I wonder how much they got paid by Stellar to make their client app abuse a user’s trust like this. I hope it was a lot, I used to really like the idea behind keybase.

  Git repos aren't bad for secret management within teams, IME. So there is some use.

  It's also the only thing that provides all these things end-to-end encrypted, a lot of people don't realize that and so don't realize why others are interested in it.
