   #Keybase just came out as a crypto-currency marketing scheme. Moreover, they're trying to spin the fact that they actively hid that their funding was coming from a crypto "non-profit" as a positive, _somehow._

   I know they're popular on the fediverse as an identity verification service. If you're using it for that purpose, I urge you to reconsider in light of this.

     This announcement seems like strange behaviour on Keybase's part:

     "For a while, Keybase has been quietly funded by the non-profit Stellar Development Foundation (stellar.org). Stellar builds the Stellar network, which powers a digital currency that Keybase understands."

     "We managed to keep this a secret (somehow!)"
