Awesome! I hope some of this $ will help to shorten the waiting list queue...
Throw me an email if you'd like an invite. Edit: I don't have any more!

Keybase raises $10.8M

Re: Keybase raises $10.8M
#22> The Node reference client to our PGP directory will be retired. (PGP support will continue, of course.) Can anyone from Keybase shed light on the reasoning behind this? It sounds like you are moving away from programmer-friendly API libraries and into GUI apps. Even if they're open source, as a developer I really liked your up-front API. Will you still be providing those APIs?
Oh, a clarification: the Node client will be replaced by the Go version. The `keybase` command line app will be a superset of what's available in the Node client now. Sorry. So yeah - still providing those API's. PGP support will continue, always, it's just that you won't need to have PGP on all your devices -- just the ones you use PGP on. Your PGP key will be part of a family of keys you're known by. If you install…
Ah, ok. Go binaries tend to be more portable and don't require npm, so I can understand that direction. Thanks for the explanation!

#23Hacker news managed to kill even keybase.io.
Re: Keybase raises $10.8M
#24From my limited following keybase.io it seems like this is mostly hobby project. How does one get investment for this kind of projects? Do you need to know someone already? Or do you decide to pull a plunge and create business plan and present it on one of these demo days organized for investors? I feel like there is a huge gap between potent, but still hobby, project and series A funding.
U jelly?
I imagine you walk up to Marc and say, "Hey, we are building PGP for the world."
Some days later, $10,000,000 pops in to your bank account.
Edit: Would be considerate if the down-modders would provide an alternate scenario.

I just sent an invite to your adlervermillion address.
To be honest I haven't found their service to be useful in my day to day life. I am mainly inviting you out of sheer guilt, because I have been accruing invites and not using the service.

#26The fatal problem with this plan is that all end user devices are by now hopelessly compromised. Take a look at the Snowden documents, which are now years behind the state of the art.
It doesn't matter if your crypto is both bulletproof and easy to use. They'll just break into your phone or your laptop through a side channel and read the key. And you won't even notice.

I've been on it for a couple months now. I've used it twice: once was to exchange AWS IAM keys for a consulting job and the other was for someone to give me their credit card details.
But in most cases it's just to track someone.

Thanks, appreciate it.
