Request for Ethereum address verification #16749

I'm looking to have a group chat for pseudonymous individuals who can prove that they own a specific Ethereum private key.

There's ways to do this currently but it would be much nicer to have an integrated solution. Effectively how I see this working is that keybase would ask the user for their ethereum public key and then would require them to sign a message with their Ethereum private key that says something like: "My keybase username is foo with id bar".

PGP keys are the only ones that use cross-signing on keybase.

Bitcoin and ZCash addresses are just signed by your keybase keys. Keybase does not verify you hold the private key.
