I think this is a good move. Keybase had a certain quiet dignity to it. Everyone listed there was easily identifiable to me so there was never any confusion over who I was talking to, and it was easy to turn the notifications right down. We even used it for team chat. Keybase had some appeal as "crypto means cryptography." Introducing a cryptocurrency shattered that quiet careful image. I wouldn't say cryptocurrency integration and the surrounding song and dance is the reason we switched to Slack for team chat, but it is the reason I stopped advocating for staying on Keybase. I hope this move is part of shoring up the "quiet reliable tool" image I had of Keybase. Among the 1e6 chat programs I have to use to talk to everyone, Keybase was the closest to feeling quiet and reliable, and I hope it does again soon.
