For those of you not on Keybase yet, here's the most important piece of information in the post:

"To qualify: you must have a Keybase account registered before this announcement OR if you're new to Keybase, you must connect your Keybase account to a GitHub or HackerNews account that was registered before this announcement. This is to prevent bot signups to Keybase."

It fails to mention that Github and HN accounts must be older than January 1, 2017. This is what I saw in the app when I tried to join the airdrop: https://i.imgur.com/ZOZ1rB7.png

I hope that's an accidental omission and not an intentional dark pattern.

Not a dark pattern, an accidental leftover string from our testing. Any account registered before today qualifies. I'll deploy a fix to that shortly. Update: deployed, although you may need to restart your app to update the text.

Sucks you had the sign up date prior to the announcement. When I read the announcement I immediately signed up for a keybase, HN and Github account and then find out I cant be included because I signed up on 9/9/2019. You would think that would be the incentive to at least give a little buffer for people to join in that were not aware.

It let me sign up with this new HN account, but I'm also getting the 3 devices block.

You can generate paper keys in the mobile app. They count towards the device count.
