Today's post is important for anyone who have a old #Keybase account.

If you had one 2019 you got some free magic internet money.

Someone one the internet is willing to pay a lot of real money for that, around ~500 euro. So if you have a bit of time, I recommend putting those money into some good use.

Donate them to charity for example, or just splurge on yourself. Anything is better than leaving them lying there.

I wrote a quick #blaugust post about it https://blog.nyman.re/2025/08/13/putting-your-crypto-you-didnt.html

ugh fuck. I know I'm late to the party. but can't believe keybase.io was aquired by ZOOM.

this is why we can't have nice things.

crypto is cryptography; not shitcoins

Max Krohn (maxtaco, one of the Keybase founders) developed FOKS (Federated Open Key Service); "FOKS is like Keybase, but fully open-source and federated, with SSO and YubiKey support".
