Cool site! Max Krohn (https://keybase.io/max) and I are meeting with some people working on various PGP projects in Germany in April, and one of the things on our personal agenda is the ideal future of key distribution. We don't really want to be a sole place to look up these keybase-style social media proofs. We also don't think they belong inside the keys themselves.

One complication: looking up a key by email and trusting 3rd party verifications is philosophically pretty different from what Keybase is doing. So we have to figure out how to resolve this. For example, we don't even have an email based lookup at all (!), because we have no way of letting a client verify it's true. I don't know if we can be convinced to change this. We're looking forward to Yahoo's and GMail's work on their E2E projects because it may help verifying email addresses publicly.

And to be clear: we're not in the email business, so we want Keybase-style key proofs to be useful to mail clients like Whiteout. We'd like to work well with everyone.
