@ikonoklast agreed about territorial segmentation in most cases, although here it's not Apple's fault, it's French law. We got to release the app in every single country *except* France, because France has weird crypto import regulations. We can get a French release out - other crypto apps have - but we have to throw legal time and money, and our own time, at it. We will get to it eventually, but we're a small team.

@jollymonatx others do have e2e encrypted messaging. The 2 things that make Keybase different, primarily, are: (1) that you can address people by the way you know them online, as opposed to by a phone number or email (or proprietary username), and (2) that you don't really trust the chat servers to give you the public keys in the first place. If you want to send a message to someone e2e encrypted, Keybase's servers can't trick you into sending to the wrong person. And anyone stealing an account is publicly discoverable. There are many more differences, but I think that primarily sums it up.

Oh wow, look at that. Wasn't expecting to be on PH today! Happy to answer questions here. (I wrote that blog post.) For most users, Keybase chat shouldn't require an invite code at all (https://keybase.io/download), although if it asks for one, you can use `friend-of-keybase`. :-)
