Someone could serve a Javascript encrypter-decrypter app from IPFS so it would be certainly the same whenever you accessed it with the same URL.

6 first-come, first served invitations. I love the idea of Keybase and wish more people were using it. While it's not a replacement for keysigning parties, it's a nice probabilistic model for casual security.

I'd like to give it a spin, if you haven't run out yet. Contact info on my profile.

EDIT: Received and accepted. Thanks!

I'd love an invite, if any remain. Email address should be in my "about".

I have 8 invites, let me know if you want one (see my profile). I would be extra happy if you could send me a lobste.rs invite :).

Edit: it turns out that my wife also has 8, so I'll forward once mine are gone.

Edit 2: my lobste.rs wish is fulfilled, thanks! We still have some invites left.

If you run out of invites for HN folks, email me. (I'm https://keybase.io/chris).

We're working pretty hard on Keybase. For the last year it was just 2 of us (me and https://keybase.io/max) , but some amazing people just joined the cause and we're building a much better service. Our Go client, for example, is almost on feature parity with the old Node reference client, and we've started working on a nice OSX GUI.

A lot has been written about PGP and its shortcomings, and we agree with pretty much all the points: client integration problems, usability, the WoT just sucking, key management, revocations. So far at Keybase we've attacking one of the most important problems with PKI in general, not just PGP: getting the right key for someone. But it's really only one piece.

I don't want to (yet!) give away too much of what we hope to launch later this year, but there's nothing about Keybase that's specific to PGP. Or chat - which people seem to get hung up on. We think we're in a very good position to release open source software that makes people's lives more secure and more convenient. Everything from financial transactions, chats, and releasing public software should be easy with a PKI. It's just not working yet.

I have 10 and will also trade for a lobste.rs invite :)

Ooh, also have invites if anyone wants them. Hadn't heard of lobste.rs, but seems cool if I could get an invite there in return, as well :)

Thanks for the great work!

I think keybase.io will be an important part of solving public key cryptography usability, given that more of my friends are on keybase.io than there were ever on the PGP keyservers.
