What exactly don't you understand?
Its a register where you can lookup bitcoin addresses of certain people. You can search by name or social media handles.
Pretty straight forward tbh.

I might ask you same thing unless what you wrote was a mistake. Its a register where you can lookup bitcoin addresses of certain people. You can search by name or social media handles.
Nope, it's a site where you can host your PGP key. You can check others' PGP keys, their social media profiles etc... It offers a simple signing/verifying and encryoting/decrypting method. Even though they are using strong method for password hashing, I deprecate hosting PGP private key there. Pretty straight forward tbh.

I was assuming that he was asking about the Bitcoin addres part of it. And that part is pretty straight forward. People can safe their public key and you can look it up.

Okay! BTC address problem isn't fixed in Keybase. People can enter fake addresses as they ain't asking signed message. Hope they will consider my request.

you can easily sign messages with your site user so that you can trasmit information knowing if it has been written by the real user

For signing and decrypting, you need to host private keys in Keybase. I highly depreciate it. If they somehow got hacked, your private key will be in danger. I recommend you to store PGP public key but not private key. So others can encrypt or verify messages.

I recommend you to store PGP public key but not private key. So others can encrypt or verify messages. I personally prefer not to upload my private key either, but the private key is uploaded encrypted. So it would still be hard for a hacker to get users' private keys even if the site is hacked.

It's a nice place to store all of your official links so to speak, signed with PGP and you can add your BTC addy.

Basically a keyserver, but with more user-friendly UI (than HKP keyservers) and option to encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify messages. EDIT: Just make sure not to use SHA1 while generating your PGP key.

Is a simple web for encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify messages, addresses without install software, i personally think that its a great idea simplify the things but without lost the security, i have used it a lot this days because i dont need install and import my private key in each pc that i use

You can use the website without uploading your key, also you could have your usual gpg key and one for keybase..

It's another rubbish attempt to make an easy to use gui for PGP. Just use GnuPG.

It is helpful for other users to encrypt or verify messages. If you don't trust it, then atleast to verify. You can also link social accounts with it which is helpful in some cases.

You mean the commercial PGP? I thought keybase.io is based on OpenPGP standard which is already used on GnuPG too. (Correct me if I'm wrong) I only use GPG on my ubuntu laptop and phone, and I can decrypt message encrypted with GPG key on keybase.

I think it is the same with Keybase.io

I think it is the same with Keybase.io I know, that's the point of Free Software. What I want to say is, there is a program named PGP ( nonfreeproprietary software), and GPG is a free software based on OpenPGP standard ( RFC4880). Keybase.io comply with the OpenPGP standard, so messages encrypted from keybase.io works fine with GPG.
