Not sure if you missed the details of the announcement but they are doing the payouts on Polygon, which is not a Proof of Work network (the technology that is harmful for the environment).

... it's not on PoS yet and it was delayed again. It's been delayed since 2016 or so (I can't remember the first time they announced it was just around the corner).

There's also no guarantee that the PoW chain won't simply continue in yet another fork because profits.

No, Polygon is 100% PoS and always has been. You're talking about Ethereum.

Stripe themselves (in the very blogpost the submission links to no less) mention that they are using Polygon (which is PoS):

> Payouts will take place over the Polygon network

Keybase is owned by some awful conglomerate now, I wouldn't continue using them.
