@TheFuzzStone glad I'm not using either #zoom or #keybase
@yarmo, As I provide escrow services for the Russian/Ukrainian part of the #crypto community, there are many scammers who pretend to be me in order to steal money from people, so I always encourage everyone to request a #PGP signature for some message to make sure it's me. 99.999% of people don't want to deal with PGP, install additional software, import my PGP key, etc.
In this case people need only to copy-paste my signed message here and press "Verify" button:
I get what you mean now - just took the PGP signed message from your page. This is indeed very easy for a non-technical person.
@kravietz, and that is the main point why I'm "using" #keybase.
But, because they sold themselves as the last whores to a company like #Zoom, it finally killed my faith in this project.
Their cloud (free 250 Gb) is so slow that I can't explain it to you how much.
The Keybase messenger itself - it offers nothing new, moreover it is slow.
This is probably where blockchain might eventually have some real-world usage :) Because what Keybase does it essentially a public ledger, just centralized. If this could be implemented in the form of a smart contract for example, it could be quite effective actually. And digital signature is at the very core of Ethereum and any other crypto currency so readily available.
Haha that's the all-time rant between crypto community and cryptocurrencies community with the first not considering the latter to be "real crypto" etc 😂
