Warning to all OS X users: The Keybase Chat desktop app does a number of shady things that ultimately led me to delete it from my system.

The Keybase Chat app: (1) Requires administrator privileges to launch on first run, to install a "Helper Tool". The app does not explain what this tool does, w…

I'm not qualified or interested enough to investigate this but I can tell you that on Windows Trend Micro have blocked keybase as potential malware. It's reported on github and keybase have requested an exception but reading your post one starts to wonder why Trend Micro would get that idea.

I use pass, of http://passwordstore.org While I didn't try it myself (I just run my own git server), symlinking the directory of that to kbfs (or maybe just create a git repo there and make some magic to locally push stuff) should work.

I saw that recently, after the post on here about the 'pass compatible password management for teams', I forget what it was called. It's actually more along the lines of the latter I wanted to do with Passbase - seeing as it's already using KBFS it would be (relatively) easy to do password sharing, just throw it in a shared private folder. I was thinking more of the shared pizza-order password with room-mates, or gro…

It's in our released downloads at https://keybase.io/download We don't use GitHub releases often.

https://keybase.io/download just points back to github for source.

No, sorry. We're still making a new release almost every day, and we have no stable branches, only master. We'd prefer people to just install our own package.
