Security Through Transparency

The post mentioned the inadequacy of PGP. I would like to see a comparison with Keybase (https://keybase.io) which addresses similar problems.

CT is mostly an automagic comparison.

You don't need to do anything and you get encryption and trust and all that stuff.

While keybase is a step in the right direction, it does not make communication any more secure by default.

You still need to setup PGP and use it to benefit from keybase.io

So in essence; CT is that one step ahead of keybase.io that makes it much much more useful but keybase is still a step in the right direction.

Keybase does not need a PGP setup. Keybase has moved on from that and use NaCl to solve the multi-device problem. GPG is just one more node in your trust chain.

I can give you in comparison, right now.
