I have 9 invites and I do not particularly want to trawl through all of the existing comments to find people who may or may not have been invited since having posted their comments hours ago. So, reply to me here or email me (wanda {at} teknik.io) and I will send you an invite. First co-- actually, first noticed, first served.

Those who have emailed me--I believe I have sent invites to as many of you as I could.

    FAO: "AY" (full name omitted)
    I'm sorry, I ran out before
    I could get an invite to you.

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.)

tptacek also complains that tarsnap is too nerdish. :-)

How do you actually download this update? It has a link at the bottom -> "latest download (possibly without the filesystem)" I'm guessing that means not all of the OS builds have it enabled yet?

I'm confused about that as well. I am a Keybase user for a while now, but I have no Keybase folder even though I downloaded the latest client.

I see, thanks! I'll look more into it, it sounds interesting. By the way, how did you manage to install Keybase FS? It won't work for me at all.

I managed to find the prerelease packages in the build scripts, and got it working through that. Make sure you restart the keybase service, as it doesn't happen automatically https://s3.amazonaws.com/prerelease.keybase.io/index.html

This needs to be more visible in this thread.

If there are invites left, I would like one (email in profile).

Just checked profile, email was not found. Took a guess though and sent an invite to the email listed at: https://github.com/stepvhen If that's the wrong email then let me know where to send it.

Ah I thought it was there. Good guess, I got the invite. Thanks!

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.

So do I - that was my point to parent: I don't use the browser tools not because of JS (which is a concern) but because of not wanting private keys stored online which would be required to do so.

I've got invites (9) for Keybase that are collecting dust if anyone wants one. Email in profile. WOW: That happened fast, I'm all out of invites now... 2 minutes after posting emails started coming in and within 3 minutes I was out. Sorry if you didn't get one...

Hi. Does anyone still have an invite? I would love to try it out.
