I suggest you read "Thoughts on keybase.io" (http://blog.lrdesign.com/2014/03/thoughts-on-keybase-io/), it touches the "roll your own" points as well as authentication and consequences like vendor lock-in.

If you came late in this thread or somehow still believe keybase.io equals rolling your own system, sokrates wrote a good description of what keybase.io does lower in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7465349
The big assumption keybase.io seems to challenge here is that your online identity doesn't consist only of your public key.
