Re: Mail address to account conversion (keybase.io)

Maybe that's an opportunity to put to use "notations
, and self-sign the keybase-uidusing --cert-notation.

Of course, nobody would care to check that,
but would there be any other issue down this road?

Kind Regards,

I indeed do have those, but I'm not sure keybase will bounce. I tried
mailing myself there earlier (with a third address) and all I got in
return was silence.

Thanks for the opinion, I find myself agreeing. I should probably stop
collecting signs on that uid on keysigning parties, though, I shouldn't
bother people with sending signed keys an unconventional (and manual)
method.

Sincerely,
Felix

No, this is for my own PGP key of which I uploaded the public key to
them. I just added a uid with the keybase email to my key.

Is this for their private key that keybase.io generates on your behalf
when you sign up?

If the ID still "belongs" to you (in some meaningful sense) then
there's no need to revoke it just because it is unusable for the
purposes of email. It is merely a convention that IDs correspond to
email addresses. If your keybase account still exists, has a 1-to-1
mapping with that ID, and is still under your control, then IMO it's
legitimate to keep the ID - particularly if it is used as a reference
point for other things. The presence of an ID on a public key makes no
claim as to whether the ID is usable for a particular purpose. True,
people might try to email you on that ID, but the worst that will
happen is they get a bounce (and you have other, usable IDs on the same
pubkey I assume).

Mail address to account conversion (keybase.io)

[Felix Van der Jeugt]

Dear all,

Recently, keybase.io stopped their email forwarding service. Now, my
noc...@keybase.io uid can no longer receive email. I'd normally revoke
the uid, but my account, keybase.io/noctua, can still receive messages
through the website.

I'm in a dilemma now: should I revoke the uid because the email address
is invalid? It's nice to have a reference to the account in my key,
though.

Any advice on this would be welcome.

Sincerely,
Felix
