I signed up for Keybase during the alpha because I liked the idea of PGP-verified identities on different web properties (and I still do). However I uninstalled their client when it was “upgraded” to a Mac app complete with a kext for a goddamn FUSE mounted at all times (that and the fact that the client was somehow spamming my DNS server). But at least the chat service makes sense for part of their user base. Then came the crypto nonsense....

I guess being a free keyserver and identity verification service (they frequently check all your signed messages across all linked web properties) just isn’t a viable business model.
