I'm definitely skeptical that this is good for keybase's core product. Zoom is drowning in money and growth from their core video conferencing product right now and really behind on security issues.

I think a public acquisition of a security/privacy oriented startup is as much about PR as anything. Maybe they don't even need keybase. I kind of get the sense that they're a pawn in a bigger chess game.

It's sad. I used Keybase. I liked the product. But Im not sure if they were getting the traction needed either.

Yeah, totally agree with you. I guess Keybase is gonna be shutdown.
