If the site went away tomorrow, you'd still have keys in your GPG keychain. You'd also have a local cache of the server-side data relevant to you. All public server-side data is available as a dump (https://keybase.io/__/api-docs/1.0#call-dump-all https://keybase.io/__/api-docs/1.0#call-dump-all). Private data like encrypted public keys and password hashes we of course will keep under wraps. We don't have immediate plans to make the system distributed, but if someone did it, we'd find it very cool. It's just too much for us to do right now.
