#2I don't quite know how to feel about this. Perhaps it is my mistrust against Zoom, but I did enjoy the run Keybase had as a semi-independent key and ID manager.

#3And I’m done with Keybase.
What’s that open source alternative that someone recently posted here?
Re: Zoom Acquires Keybase
#4Whoa, how much? The press release doesn’t say, but this will come out eventually since Zoom is publicly traded, right?

Yeah, with the recent issues they had after doing the cryptocurrency stuff (which didn't really bother me, but it definitely seemed to generate some negative feelings in general), this feels like a poorly-timed move.
Zoom is presumably going for "look, we are bringing on-board this team of trusted people who understand privacy", but I think most are just going to assume it'll work the other way and Zoom's culture of poor security practice will bleed into Keybase over time.

#7Congrats to the keybase team! They seemed to grow in fits and starts, hopefully this sort of thing helps push encryption to even more places.

#8Strange combination.
Re: Zoom Acquires Keybase
#9Congratulations, malgorithms and team!
Selfishly hoping the cores service isn't shut down, though. I've been using it authoritatively for 5+ years. Treasuring the username I got too.
