- diggan 2y agoNo need, the user profile (cryptographically) links to their keybase profiles which corroborates the identity. The future is here! :)
- roland35 2y agoAnd... How do we know the key base profile is correct?
- diggan 2y agoHere is how Keybase works: https://book.keybase.io/docs/server https://book.keybase.io/docs/server Then take a look at the HN profile, which leads you to the Keybase profile.
- bloopernova 2y agoI really wish keybase had taken off. I should have realized it was going to fail once they started adding the cryptocurrency wallet.
- diggan 2y agoKeyoxide seems OK as an alternative: https://keyoxide.org/aspe:keyoxide.org:Q6B7ZBQITV7IE2RG4EMVKWT4VI https://keyoxide.org/aspe:keyoxide.org:Q6B7ZBQITV7IE2RG4EMVK... Doesn't have any of the social "features".
- rtpg 2y agoFunnily, the way I used to check Keybase profiles is to check Twitter because a blue checkmark there was usually a good indication of them being "the famous person" but thanks to Twitter Blue that feature is no longer usable. I understand Keybase allows you to link up a bunch of accounts, but it doesn't prevent you from making all of those accounts say you are the CEO/CTO of some company unfortunately.
- diggan 2y ago> but it doesn't prevent you from making all of those accounts say you are the CEO/CTO of some company unfortunately At least a GitHub profile link can usually be used to validate that this account actually has write access to a GitHub organization, so you can somewhat see it's the right person. Requires them to have pushed any public commits to within that organization though.
- rtpg 2y agoFair point, yeah.
