So I'm seeing people start building replacements for keybase now that it's been bought by zoom
Is that not just a keyserver? Or have I been unaware of some features that keybase had?
@kirby I recall something about chat, yeah
I'm not sure why as encrypted chat apps are everywhere and it doesn't really need building in to a keyserver
Was there something like auto-updates of keys? That sounds like something, although that could also be accomplished with a Very Small Shell Script
@troubleMoney it's a keyserver which can verify that you own accounts on third party services, and which can't talk normal keyserver protocols. also they added file storage stuff and chat stuff and cryptocurrency stuff later but i don't know anyone who uses those things
@codl ah, so they're focusing on ways to make a perfectly serviceable keyserver worse
that explains why they all seem to be building stuff on blockchain
@troubleMoney Didn't they also offer… chat and stuff?
There was a big thing about it last year or so?
