I'd really appreciate an invite if you still have any. It's wild to see just how in demand these are right now.

Yeah I still have all 2, I just need an email.

I'd love one. Keybase has always been a fascinating service to me. m {at} sftw.ninja

You trust the end users to back up their private keys?

I don't care what other people do. I want client side encryption!

Then use tarsnap already. Bonus: it is owned by our own cperciva.

tarsnap is nerdish, secure and reasonably priced for what it provides IIRC. Haven't used it though but expect someone would have yelled out here if it was bad. (In fact the only one I've seen bashing it was patio11, -because it was too cheap and too nerdish.)

Dropbox works with the NSA to hand over customer data. You are absolutely right that something like this would go over like a turd in a punchbowl at Dropbox HQ.

Unlike Google, Microsoft and Slack, Dropbox does have the top, 5 star, EFF rating for protecting your data from the government... I'm not sure what more they could be doing. Edit to add link to EFF ratings: https://www.eff.org/who-has-your-back-government-data-reques...

Thanks for adding facts. Do they still have that questionable(?) politician on the board?
