Good Morning!

hmmm. unsolicited email from http://cyph.com wanting to inveigle me away from Keybase anyone else got one?

Ben Hammond16:07:51

presumably he scraped the keybase public profiles then

Ben Hammond16:07:16

not that I use keybase much, but 'tis has been occasionally very useful

Ben Hammond16:07:38

ah well have good weekends folks

Ben Hammond17:07:12

may we all stay safe

Yes, I got one. I signed up (not intending to use it), and it seems terrible. The android app wouldn't start a qr code scanner, and wouldn't login typing either (but there wasn't a error message)

huh, i've not had an invite, but i'm immediately wary of what looks like home-rolled crypto protocol and possibly algos, closed-source implementation and a "security audit" which looks like a pentest rather than an evaluation of algos and protocols

mccraigmccraig17:07:32

we use keybase quite a lot - it's teams fileshares have been great for sharing secrets with customers and partners
