So, this keybase.io thing seems nice, even though I wonder how anyone who cares enough to use it would actually upload their private key

@stilkov IIUC those who worry would use the command-line client.

@jerrypreissler I do. You miss my point: Who, among those interested in something like this in the first place, would upload their key?
@stilkov yep, no effin way would I trust my private key anywhere off secure removable storage or backup paper printout for OCR recovery
@stilkov uploading one's private key isn't required. Just posted a transcript of my getting started experience here: cbea.ms/18998106
@stilkov That's the one thing I dislike about it, especially since it's presented as the default option to inexperienced users.
@stilkov yeah, haven't done that! Lighter weight alternative to key signing parties?
