Ask HN: What are these Keybase URLs I see in many HN profiles?
This is not guerilla marketing, I swear. I see these https://keybase.io public key URLs in many HN profiles. Of course, I checked out the website and I get the gist of it. But is it actually really popular? For active Keybase users, what do you use it for primarily?

- zeroping 3y agoNot well. Very few updates since then. https://github.com/keybase/client/graphs/code-frequency https://github.com/keybase/client/graphs/code-frequency tells the story well.
