@zigg - How are you integrating your keybase proofs? Is there documentation somewhere for "nonstandard" proofing?
@TrollDecker @PresGas I do remember that too but 🤷🏻♂️
@TrollDecker @zigg Like sands from an hourglass, these are the Toots of our lives... 🙃
...I hate it when I forget who I first heard stuff from. I like proper attribution. Thanks for the pingback though!
How are you both feeling about #keybase
It is hard trying to grow it.
@PresGas @TrollDecker It is what it is.
I signed up with friends back when we all had keys and were trying yet again to do something useful with them.
#keybase is an interesting grab bag of ideas in that space, but none of it has really stuck for me yet.
@zigg @TrollDecker I think I would have to modify it as my username on keybase is different than here.
I know they got some VC infusion a couple years ago, but wonder why they aren't trying to go #notforprofit a-la #mozilla
They seem to be doing okay with it; have infrastructure, servers/services (FF sync) and not beholden to corporations or need to profit.
I guess this is all kinda tying into decentralized net and public utils topics
@PresGas @TrollDecker There's no need for your username to match, just like there's no need for your Twitter handle to match your #keybase username in one of those proofs.
Keybase-the-service is, of course, centralized, but they've got a good set of primitives (or had, back when I was paying attention to how they were implemented) that I think could become federated without redesigning the world.
@zigg @TrollDecker In the interest of completeness to this thread. Here looks to be a post outlining what you two may be doing. Posting here for others on #mastodon with interests in #keybase

I would add making sure it is in your profile part; effectively pinning the post.
Now fly, little message; into the #fediverse with you!

@TrollDecker @zigg zigg has nice, simple instructions in his profile. I have thought about using the public folder for serving longer blog style things via username.keybase.pub
I just need to find a nice flat file CMS/blogging until.
@PresGas It's a very ad-hoc system—I was inspired by @TrollDecker.
If you run `keybase verify` on one of my proofs you'll see a simple text message where I claim a specific handle (e.g. @zigg).
The signature on this proof means that me, as PGP key holder, claims to be that specific account holder. And the fact that that proof is posted on that account means that the account was indeed in my control at the time the proof was posted.
