This is my biggest worry about using this service. It looks great, but if they don't make any money, how can they keep it running for free in the long term? They should charge users money for storage, not give it away for free - hopefully they have a plan to do so soon but they should make that clear. It would also be nice to be able to completely self-host, that would be really reassuring, not sure if it is possible…
Totally agree. I don't want to invest my time using a service that I don't trust will be around in 5yrs. Would love to pay a few bucks a month for this service to help alleviate that fear. Making money is a good thing.

#394Just was granted 5 more invites (Thanks Chris!) if anyone else is late to the party. Please either reply with an email address or have one visible in your profile if you want one.
I'd love one! I've been really excited about this project for over a year but still in the invite queue :(.
equivrel - you get my last one.. just sent it, enjoy!

#395About 4 years ago I was involved with a commercial software project attempting to do exactly this. What we built worked but it wasn't positioned in a way that interested our target audience (Enterprise customers). First, bravo for making it happen in a way that is getting people excited. Second, I sincerely wish you the best luck in getting people to pay for it in a way that is sustainable for a business. We built a…
Regarding 1): Could someone with more expertise explain how Keybase protects against MitM attacks please? Does it simply rely on the difficulty of compromising the SSL certs of multiple assertions (twitter.com, github.com, etc)? As far as I can tell, if someone was able to 'pretend' to be Twitter, ie, MitM an HTTPS connection to twitter.com, they could 'pretend' to be someone who only has their Keybase info on Twitte…
1) MitM on TLS requires being able to issue trusted certificates for any domain. That means you either own an already trusted certificate (which basically means you're a state-level actor), or you can install a certificate on the victim's device (which means you have physical access/ownership of the device). It's also detectable through certificate pinning.
2) In Keybase, if you 'track' someone, you sign the assertions they've made as of today. So in the future you (or anyone else -- tracking is public) can detect if those assertions have changed since you first started tracking them.

#396I have 9 invites and I do not particularly want to trawl through all of the existing comments to find people who may or may not have been invited since having posted their comments hours ago. So, reply to me here or email me (wanda {at} teknik.io) and I will send you an invite. First co-- actually, first noticed, first served.
I'd like an invite if you have more to spare. (johnsonwesleyt {at} gmail)
