Yoohoo

Keybase.io is a centralized GPG public key repository - it stores public key, provide option to

store private key in encrypted form so you can do decrypt/sign messages on web(really optional, I discourage this - think of you storing your bitcoin private key on a service like coinbase)
lookup others' key and encrypt with their public key
verify others' signed messages which message is signed with the key stored on keybase.io

I'd recommend just use decentralized SKS keyservers - just use "gpg --send-key (KEYID)" on a terminal (assuming you are on GNU/Linux) and it's all set.

ps. If someone wants Keybase.io invitations, feel free to send me a PM after reading this.

Thanks for the replies. What's keybase.io?

A way to exchange the public keys. I dont think there is a service that keeps your private keys. The idea behind PGP is that only you have your private key and no one else.

Hi marcotheminer, depends on which OS you use, in Debian and Ubuntu you can use GnuPG for example, for Windows PGPi .
