This is sad. To me Keybase always seemed like it had a big mindshare among techies (more so before the cryptocurrency venture), but never had a good enough market share for its offerings (like chat, for example). As others here have said, Keybase could’ve launched some paid services. With the shitshow that Zoom has turned out to be (there’s a long article on tidbits.com about the various issues), I don’t have any confidence that any part of Keybase as it exists now will survive. My belief is that it’ll shut down its services sometime this year or the next. I used it very rarely to verify certain identities, but am going to just delete my account and be done now.
