#152so assuming one trusts the model, would it work to have something like: I have a /me/private/yourwebsite.com set up to be shared between me and your particular site, the link is set-up when I sign up when I log in your site, it would look for this directory to be there, in this directory there will be a file with a password hash, the server would load it, and validate the hash of the typed in password against the has…
I actually wrote something like that for Keybase before KBFS was announced: https://github.com/jzila/kb-login-ext
The approach you detailed is the way to go once the filesystem is in the wild. Such power!

This is DropBox with secure digital signatures and end-to-end encryption integrated into it in a easily accessible way.
what confused me was how they say they are not a sync service. I am still confused.
They're calling it a "file system," whatever that means. Presumably it means you can create encrypted virtual disk partitions that represent network storage shared with various peers, and treat those partitions as if they were resident on local drives.
Agreed that they need to work on the narrative a bit.

#158Any idea how to get this working on Arch? The latest version looks to be about 2 weeks old.
How about the "keybase-release" package from AUR?

Dropbox synchronizes files between your computer and their servers. Keybase stores the files on their servers and only downloads/uploads them "on demand". Think of your web browser accessing gmail.com versus running something like Thunderbird that downloads your mail locally.
As a benefit, it's much simpler to implement - you don't need to work as hard to handle conflicts where two people made incompatible changes while offline. However, it will be slower for bulk operations and will require an internet connection.
