Wait, do you *have* to keep your private keys in keybase? I thought it was mostly pubkey operations?
You do not. keybase.io works just fine as a CLI app if you don't. - From the frontpage: "Keybase.io is also a Keybase client, however certain crypto actions (signing and decrypting) are limited to users who store client-encrypted copies of their private keys on the server, >>>an optional feature we didn't mention above<<<." keybase.io does an okay job of making some GPG commands easier to use and remember. At the very least it files a few of the rough edges off. gpg -s -o something.gpg -r "bob@laundry.gov.uk" -e fooble.txt vs keybase encrypt bob -o something.gpg -s -m fooble.txt It's got some pretty nasty warts of its own, though. For example, the user cannot encrypt to multiple recipients at this time (https://github.com/keybase/node-client/issues/152). It's a little slow on startup. The command to list your keybase.io keyring (which is distinct from the contents of ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg) is highly unintuitive. It abstracts away fewer of the common GPG command line options than it seems. After playing around with it for a few weeks, I think that apps like gpg-crypter (http://gpg-crypter.sourceforge.net/) and GPG4win seem a little more intuitive for new users. - -- The Doctor [412/724/301/703] [ZS] Developer, Project Byzantium: http://project-byzantium.org/ PGP: 0x807B17C1 / 7960 1CDC 85C9 0B63 8D9F DD89 3BD8 FF2B 807B 17C1 WWW: https://drwho.virtadpt.net/ "Maybe I'll be wantin' a bagel with my coffee.." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTqbLdAAoJED1np1pUQ8Rkvh0P/j1oH9GwviuzxoX3/7SGhEdz gQIiBuwM5lMEuz+YWZRx9nWT4/4Nd8rtbOM6rRF3OqWiVGPpaf3DmcrFwdJsVl/u 5E0bHouQXMqxisQzNEJ7i/JAYqlMjAEbVb2Ot4ArWNovCk/IwgONyGh52uAujAYv 1GWsOC7tXFnETM+QhDgn78uKswPet0a8HizNdKPZQKK+qftgZDxtZ3A2q9Tc5oBn HxzB8Wrnm7jERMei41CYFn1O/Yk6hfYKD0Y9sPIAbui88b3y1XkE/KXCHma3626p oDstRhCMMI8ztjsa4AiEVZkrlbJWK8AoTlwpNybcbCW/aeqg6gX1SaPgNzX8OKe0 1iT6eD+NUDQdGjRmaiLKpP55oqmLsq/9/TunUluuCpB3TK1gUndgDeokOQu2lZci n80Re/mdIlutAgTTVMdzfFcOY92lePMGDI88bJUosY294tCvR8gRIHPJqF4YM+cD +LyTn2iUXOZH2xv6vRZyY0uI1W7Oa5mNrhXRnDfZNIrjo1s6aDAw9lgN6JhP3Bo7 AHFUddP2ULzI0jF3U/e9qz43dhMPPaLBODR6igBk4QY8MHtlTGHsZHnO1aAmIoeu u8zbBuSohGjThxHlR2FCjwJTR8ccIkuHqpi39rD+0dOf4XsVWyA/b/HthME5pCy0 BKRPni0zcO3+AXYP8FrI =3v6s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
