prod·uct \ˈprä-(ˌ)dəkt\ 2.a.1 Something produced ; 2.b Something resulting from or necessarily following from a set of conditions. This book is the product of many years of hard work. ( http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/product ) There's another sense (not listed) in which "product" specifically refers to prohibited drugs. I know, and you should know, that quadrangle wasn't using that sense. As regards the po…

He is not "plainly wrong" if the first definition of the word in question is literally supporting what he is saying. Your assertion of his correctness is what is plainly wrong.

Don't get too hung up on "the first definition". The first definition of product in M-W is "the number or expression resulting from the multiplication together of two or more numbers or expressions". That says absolutely nothing about what it means in any particular sentence.

The bit rburhum objected to says "We're not trying to make money. We're testing a product right now." This is correct idiomatic use of the word "product" (in the sense "something we make"), and it's a relevant answer ("we don't have one") to the question "what is your business model?".

I don't think Keybase is glossing over security at all. First of all, you don't have to use the browser app at all. I personally don't trust Javascript crypto and hence don't do anything in the web app. They're also acutely aware of the dangers of centralization and all the Keybase crypto is based on minimal trust. Check the documentation: https://keybase.io/docs/server_security

Personally, I don't want someone else storing my private keys; which is a pre-condition for doing anything you'd have to worry about in the browser anyway.

Actually, I use Keybase without having them store my private keys.

I can't see your email address anywhere. I googled your screen name, which just led me to various web 2.0 accounts. Your website seems to be down or non-existent. Sorry, you'll have to wait for the next train.
