Keybase.io - Encouraging bad management?

[Reynaldo]

"Keybase is a website, but it's also an open source command line program. Let's walk through a terminal example, which illustrates what Keybase does. All of this can be embedded into other software, written by anyone."

 

First thing, i have 1 invite left, btw erick if you want an invitation i've saved one for you.

If anyone wants the invitation just post up that you want it.

 

 

Keybase.io seems to encourage to upload or atleast hash your private key onto the website (I did not do it)

While it gives everyone access and easy management to encryption with pgp, that crucial fact is encouraging new comers onto bad practices... what do you think? On other aspects, I love it...

 

keybase.io/reynaldo if you want to send any encrypted message to me.

I personally would rather use gpg on the computer and mailenvelope for gmail encrypted messages. I refuse to upload my private key to any website. Neat stuff though

 

Thanks for the invite.

You can use it with keybase from the AUR on your terminal and you wont need to store your private key on their servers, in fact, I do not store my private key on they server and I can still use it... They will be adding email support, so for example, when someone tries to send you a message through encrypted and the site, you'll encrypt with the public key (on their website or terminal with keybase) and then it can be sent to reynaldo@keybase.io and i'll receive it on my email (i think that this is how it will work)
