How to confirm this!
1. Copy and paste the saltpack message above into a file, let's call it "rusty-proof" from "BEGIN..." to the last "...SIGNED MESSAGE."
2. Install the keybase tools if you haven't
3. Run: keybase verify < rusty-proof
4. It should tell you I signed it and who I am on Mastodon
@rustyk5 what command did you run to generate this proof? It would be cool to add this to the mastodon docs!
@foozmeat keybase sign -m "[Hi I'm [@[email protected]] on mastodon!"
@rustyk5 hurrrr I was overthinking it :grinning:
Thanks!
@rustyk5 what does it mean to be registered on two mastodon instances?
@spladow @rustyk5 just means you have more than one account. I think most people end up just using one, it's not really worth maintaining two
@rustyk5 also, thanks for reminding me to look at keybase. I remember thinking it looked great at the time and then totally forgot about it.
@spladow they keep adding stuff. It has encrypted chat now

@rustyk5 i just downloaded the desktop client. :)

signing and verifying still ends up confusing me. signing stuff in pgp always seemed harder than actually encrypted my messages.

@spladow they have actually made a command line tool that makes message signing easy! It's a first
