Introducing the Keybase filesystem

#52>If that person hasn't installed Keybase yet, your human work is still done. They can join and access the data within seconds
Good luck getting people to do that.
Edit: I guess if the audience for this is technical people, then the kind of person who follows them is likely to be the kind that would download it, but that's a very small market. There's a far greater barrier to getting people to install software (with little tangible gain) than getting them to sign up for your website.

30 second caveats: - You still have to host yourself, since you don't get free hosting. - Not encrypted, so you gotta add the encryption in yourself.
Not true. IPFS is encrypted and with pluggable PKI too! https://youtu.be/HUVmypx9HGI?t=3210 And you do not have to host yourself once your content is distributed. That is what makes it permanent!
You don't have to, but unless someone decides to "pin" it it might just disappear at any time. So you better pin it yourself or find someone reliable to pin it for you.

Re: Introducing the Keybase filesystem
#55Very excited for this, just waiting for an official build unless someone has actual instructions for building Keybase with kbfs-beta support on linux.
Re: Introducing the Keybase filesystem
#56You can seemingly host static files on keybase.pub, too. Makes it a viable alternative to github pages for hosting static sites:

#57I've got invites (9) for Keybase that are collecting dust if anyone wants one. Email in profile. WOW: That happened fast, I'm all out of invites now... 2 minutes after posting emails started coming in and within 3 minutes I was out. Sorry if you didn't get one...
All invites gone!
Re: Introducing the Keybase filesystem
#58I would be really interested to see how they're making the filesystem cross platform if they're supporting Windows. I see in their 'hiring' page they mention FUSE which would give Linux and OS X support.
I too am very interested in if they are currently supporting Windows and/or if/when they plan to. I was hoping this blog post would have at least mentioned it in passing.
We are testing a build for Windows that uses Dokan. Early results have been very positive. It's an important feature of KBFS that it can run on Windows.

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
Came here to say pretty much the same thing. It's slick and easy to use. It's actually the 'dropbox' I've always wanted and if they introduce a storage limit I'd pay. https://keybase.io/jgrahamc
Yeah. 1 GB Free + $.XX per additional GB would probably be the best model for them, at least looking at it from the outside.
> We're giving everyone 10 gigabytes.
>There is no paid upgrade currently. The 10GB free accounts will stay free, but we'll likely offer paid storage for people who want to store more data.
