Exactly. I've had my eye on Keybase issue #218 [1], and I'm hoping that you all will provide a way for users to provide a confirmed Bitcoin payment address.
You could just generate a unique message for the user to sign with the address using their Bitcoin client. Most bitcoin-qt and most other GUIs even have a menu option now for signing, so it should be easy for users to do.
To preserve privacy, a user could even post a stealth address, to the extent that stealth addresses are supported in the user's client software. Most clients aren't there yet, but I think more will start supporting stealth addresses this year.
