I don’t see theymos making big chances here while the new forum software is pretty much done. He already said 2FA isn’t going to happen because it’s time consuming and hard to implement due to the forum’s high customization (lots of original coding). So I don’t think he would take a time to add Keybase or any other big third party implementation.

The new forum software is in beta btw. Just catching up on bugs.

It’s definitely not going to happen here. If you want to suggest it for the new forum software, do it in their github repo: https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk/issues

Do you have any reason on why though? I don't see why it would be such an issue to implement as it looks pretty simple to me. I think there are also different "levels", all I want is to be able to add my BitcoinTalk account to it and verify that I own it. Also the "new" forum software has been out forever and it's still not here...

Was recently reading Keybase's Proof Integration Guide and I think it would be absolutely perfect for the forum? I swear I don't work for Keybase but I'm sure some of you here are on it, and it simplifies so many things.

So why Keybase?

  • It's a lot more efficient than the current staking your address method.
  • Connects other services to create a safer environment everywhere.
  • Uses blockchain technology to verify and encrypt (everyone here loves the blockchain).


From what I can tell, implementation would be that hard and it can definitely be expanded-on in the future. Have any of you used keybase before? What do you think about implementing it on here?

I'm sure there is a ton more I could talk about but I just wanted to hear some thoughts.
