What I want is PKI that works for real people. Keybase was trying to be that, and I was really excited about it. But, that's not what Zoom is selling. So Keybase being acquired by Zoom means what I wanted is dead.
Thats fair. And it‘s a much more interesting discussion IMO. Why is Keybase only really used for chat? I mean you can `keybase pull` all your friends’ pgp keys into your local keyring. It’s way way better than reading off fingerprints at a key-signing party. And yet that still didn't lower the barrier enough for people to actually use crypto for shit. Maybe the key is email. Maybe Keybase missed an opportunity to bring email into the equation so everybody could do “web stuff” backed by social pgp without a second thought.
