Any idea how to get this working on Arch? The latest version looks to be about 2 weeks old.
It is 2 weeks old, but that's also the latest tagged release on github, so it's not out of date. I'm not seeing how to actually get KBFS on linux today.

#172Plenty of invites over here if anyone would like one https://keybase.io/simonjgreen EDIT: all gone for now, but see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11037629 for more
Do I need an invite for the kbfs part if I already have a keybase account?

It's indeed a very valid point, but they are already making a huge progress and few people noticed the abrupt change. When they launched here, it was full of negative comments, many questioning how much funding they got given that the idea 'wasn't very good', some security professionals said. Now their filesystem is making such a noise and they're getting and will get more users. It's a gamble to see if they could put the commercial layer on top of it or not. That's why funding startups is risky. The good business model may not get enough users and the absent business model may get many users and could try to monetize on top of it. It's a gamble, as usual.

#174I've been using this for a couple weeks. Along with Zcash, it is the most amazing crypto-engineering project I've seen in years. Imagine being able to share files on an ad hoc basis with anyone -- on any network. Share with someone based on Twitter, on Facebook, or email address. Even better, all with cryptographic proofs of identity, strong crypto at every level, and open source.
Can you spare an invite please?
PSA to people asking for invites: make sure your email is in your HN profile.

#175I hate begging but I've been in the keybase queue for at least a year and would like to finally see what it's all about. I'd appreciate it a ton if someone could shoot me an invite: [removed] Thank you very much ashishchaudhary! :)
same here :)
I can send you one, I only need your email.

Have you read about Monero or Bitcoin + Coinjoin + Joinmarket?
