@sazius Marvelous!

@hosh Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

@zoowar haha!

Just putting this out there. A Norwegian friend points out that my last name is an anagram for Thor.

@pskosinski you encrypt it with your key just like any file encryption. Also, it is completely optional It is not necessary to use the tools and service.

@mk That’s just what I told him! :)

@mcnalu but what was her answer?

just because he’s a @psquid doesn’t mean he likes herring, red or otherwise, @question .

I have a friend teaching himself C++ programming. What are some projects / software areas that he could look at to help out on and learn?

The comforts of Earl Grey Tea and watching Cold Comfort Farm. #TZAF

@hosh @lohang Thanks, I was thinking the same thing.

Every time I worry I’m too geeky….

@lnxw48 I hope so and thanks, good advice.

@nds what year is this?

Today has been the day from H-E-Double-Toothpicks. All because a friend since high school decided to take out every wrong she has suffered in the intervening years on me. I’m wiped out just trying to stay level.

@lnxw48 if you encrypt your key and put it on their server then you can use the webUI to sign/decrypt messages (having to decrypt the key each time). This is completely optional. I’m using the CLI and it just adds a friendly, verbose layer to gpg making it easier to use. Also all their code is there to be read.

In order to maintain proof, Keybase regularly checks to ensure verifications still exist. Furthermore, all of the Keybase information is stored on a bitcoin address as unspent transactions, creating public proof that anyone can see via the block chain.

“Anyone can write a client that polices Keybase,” said Coyne. “And if it ever catches a lie, it will be provable, since all these statements are signed by Keybase, with its public key.”

also it makes it easy to encrypt, decrypt, or even generate a gpg key if you don’t have one yet.

@pskosinski If you use the cli you are just invoking gpg commands, if you use the browser you encrypt your private key on the client side before delivery to their server. That is optional. The command line is really all you need.
