Keybase.io Address Verification

info

While still operational, the Keybase ecosystem is undergoing a change of management and at this point it's unclear which direction the team over there is going. Please DYOR before building into this integration.

Contact info@theqrl.org with any questions or concerns that you may have.

We’re big fans of what Keybase are doing here at the Quantum Resistant Ledger. Innovation and security are a big part of what we do and we are delighted to announce that you can add your QRL address to your Keybase identity.

Keybase

Keybase is a catalog of connected identities that utilizes cryptographic Proofs to link profiles.

Adding QRL address to Keybase

To add your QRL address to your Keybase profile, in the Keybase app click on the Add more identities button, and enter your QRL address. When you click the Authorize button you’ll be presented with a page like this:

keybase qrl authorize

This contains your Signature Hash, a cryptographic Proof, that needs recording in the QRL blockchain using our message transaction type.

The easiest way to achieve this is using the new Keybase tools section of the QRL web wallet at wallet.theqrl.org or the desktop version downloaded from https://theqrl.org or Github
