You have been on this crusade for a long time now and you have posted this link often, I just realized that keybase is not just a GPG replacement and that using it with my smart card is not a good fit and not the problem they want to solve. So I just accepted that and actually tried to figure out what keybase is actually doing and why rather then demanding they do what I initially wanted from it.

They have been focusing on a per-device key system and its not really a gpg front-end. NaCl is a well known library and what they do is based on it. Saltpack is an open library they use and they use other open libraries as well. I happen to like the how the keybase security system works and I think it has advantages over the GPG that I like.

If you don't want to use the evil centralized system at least spamming the same issue every-time Keybase comes up. If Keybase is not the solution you like then just move on with your life.
