How do I claim the airdrop with keybase? If I have a HN/keybase account and a github account, can I claim the airdrop twice?

Duplicate accounts were deduped, but you can try both options to see which method was used for your airdrop. https://namebase.io/airdrop has instructions for GitHub. For keybase, follow the instructions from the page but instead of using your ssh key log in to keybase.io, go to your profile and 1) click on your GPG key 2) click to show private key 3) add your keybase passphrase 4) copy the private key into a file called `secret.asc` 4) executed `./bin/hs-airdrop secret.asc GPG_ID ADDRESS` where `GPG_ID` was the id/name of the key

I'd really rather use keybase as it's a lot easier to rotate that key and it doesn't secure anything important. But you picked one of my keys at random and I have to try them all to see which one you picked? And you did all this rigamarole to make it private even though a scan of my passport is required to actually use the proceeds? I feel like the effort put into this was misdirected.

To be clear, Namebase didn’t create Handshake or the airdrop. We’re building on top of it but we’re a separate team. You can also claim your coins outside of Namebase if you want. The cli wallet is actually pretty easy to use.
