This is beautiful. I don't understand the dependency on the block chain: what's the forking attack we're concerned about here?

It's not a forking attack, it's a selective-lying attack -- a malicious Keybase server could serve up old versions of someone's files, or pretend that e.g. no shared files exist between you and another user even though they do.

Putting everything into Merkle trees with published updating hashes allows clients to catch a malicious server -- if the server wants to lie to someone (without being caught), it has to lie to everyone at once.

If anyone still wants some, I can give out three invites.

I'd go for an invite if you hae some still. Email in profile.

Sorry I took so long, looks like you already have an invite, so I won't send you another.

I've been using keybase and their copy really seems to make sense to people that do not understand encryption. I've been able to get more of my friends using PGP recently due to this. I'm hoping that the file system will get more people to migrate away from dropbox, etc.

I have 8 invites if any other stragglers (6 hours after the story was posted) are still reading. I'm heading to bed but will send them during morning coffee, GMT -5. (please make sure your email is in your profile)

Any invites left? Would love to have one. Email address in my profile.

Hi John, mind sharing an invitation?

I have no shame... I would love an invite if you're not exhausted already. Best of luck with this thing you're building. I haven't been excited about any tech stuff in ages. This is really cool.

Send an email to the address in my profile. I have some invites left.
