I love Keybase for the ability to link together multiple identities together.
I use keybase with two profiles. One which is linked to my IRL identity. And one which is linked to my internet identity.
The Stellar offering seemed really odd to me - because it seemed so outside of its core functionality. Almost scammy.
Then I read an article on Ars Technica about a flood of scammers and that sort of connected the two dots. The Stellar offering seems to have flooded them with more “people” than they can handle.
- mopsi 7y agoStellar doesn't seem odd to me at all. One of the large hurdles of working together with freelancers (especially from outside the US/EU) are payments. If I find someone on Twitter or elsewhere posting artwork I like and I want to hire them, then Keybase makes the rest quite simple: easy to confirm identity, discuss details over chat, share files, and finally make payments. Seems like a platform with great potential that's horribly misunderstood.
- aprvchndrs 7y agoThat’s actually a fair point. I hadn’t considered Keybase as a platform for freelance work. If Stellar is supposed to tie in with their Teams, Files and Git offerings - that makes much more sense. But the airdrops just felt off to me. Last time I checked the github issues page - I saw half dozen issues raised just asking for airdrop info.
