Where? Your comment, and now this reply, are the only occurrences of that word on this page.

It's really irksome when someone tells me I consent to something that I don't. I'm the authority on whether or not my keys were used improperly—no one else.

You used my keys in a way in which I did not want. That's the beginning and the end of it.

I hope you got paid a lot for it.

Here are dozens of other users who made it all the way to GitHub and provided feedback in an effort to resolve the same issue:

How many others just gave up?

Those users appear to acknowledge that there was consent sort before the key was generated.

Creating a wallet (generating a keypair offline) and signing+publishing an attestation using a non-wallet keybase key to publicly associate that wallet on your profile are two different things. Adding cryptocurrency support is fine; using my private keys without my consent to publish an implicit endorsement of that cryptocurrency is not, especially when it can't be removed. It's a dark pattern that enables paid advertising designed to look like an endorsement/user engagement.

Furthermore, there is a way to remove/revoke every other type of attestation/claim on a keybase profile - except for the permanent, paid ad for Stellar.

It sounds like that part is being fixed, though, which is good.
