Keybase is funded in part by a foundation promoting a particular, not-the-worst, cryptocurrency. All of this has recently been formally verified and audited.Īll of this is to say, part of Keybase’s funding model is to help validate recipients of cryptocurrency transactions. Yes, really.Īnyway, what matters is that keybase.io is an open source app that uses end-to-end encryption, meaning: Keybase (the company) never has access to your messages or files. While we work with activists and organizations to come up with some best practices for Keybase, we should mention that it was created by former co-developers of OK Cupid. When used together with it’s now possible to replace Google drive/docs! We can help you smooth out any rough edges–just contact us. It provides threaded group chat and shared files, both backed by unbreakable* encryption. The CLDC continues to recommend keybase.io for activists’ communications. However, just like the Internet itself, activists can nevertheless use it to great advantage.
It seems sketchy, sure, but remember: we’ve always said Keybase was not built for anti-capitalists. It’s Keybase promoting XLM, which is part of their funding model. This is nothing to worry about, and you can safely participate in it or ignore it. The short version: if you’ve been using Keybase, you’re not the only one who has received an “airdrop” of the cryptocurrency Lumens (XLM).
