ERROR CODE 218 - error unboxing chat message (transient): KBFS key generation too low: 1 < 3 in method chat.1.local.getThreadNonBlock

Facing this error from mid-June on a 1 to 1 chat where messages cannot be sent nor received from my end to a specific user. however I don't face any issue chatting to any new or existing contact Tried to clear the entire conversation with this specific user but face the same issue.

Keybase Version 2.7.2-20181003163314+89c6c11dc6

Try doing keybase db nuke, that should hopefully fix your situation (this clears some local caches).

Thanks for the quick reply @mmaxim I tried the db nuke, but,even with an empty chat, the very same error came up whenever I tried to send any messages to this particular contact My log ID is: ce96d72977c15098cc26241c

Ok I will take a look, but in the meantime if you want to work around the problem you can create a team with just you and the person and can talk in there. It will work just the same as the normal chat. Sorry!
