I downloaded the beta and installed it, but I guess I need to physically find a friend who also installed it. I'm not in Silicon Valley, so I doubt that will happen soon....

Same problem here. Despite this being the best MITM-prevention strategy, it will be hard to assemble a group of people.

Maybe allow copying/pasting keys but with a Signal-style post-validation or something like a PGP wordlist to allow voice-based confirmation?

Just leave USB stick somewhere in Nsk and I will catch it.
