Short steps

Click add a PGP key on webpage
Paste my pubkey on the dialog
Execute command from dialog
curl finally says: curl: (52) Empty reply from server

Then I refreshed the webpage, no PGP key was shown on my page.

Also tried keybase id frantic1048 , I get ▶ ERROR (error 901) .

Then I repeated again above operation, at the curl step, I get

Error in your post
-------------------

Code: 908
Name: KEY_NEED_REVOKE
Description: You need to delete your active key before uploading a new one

It looks like my key is uploaded. But I can't find my key via webpage or keybase id

Long story

You can follow this log for extra information: https://keybase.io/frantic1048/sigchain

I registered keybase.
Login with CLI version of keybase
Generated a device key, and paper key
Added PGP key with with CLI version of keybase
added some proofs

So far, everything looks good.

Then I found device key is a little superfluous for me, I want to manage my key like this -> https://keybase.io/alexmartin/graph .

I keybase deprovision my device.
The webpage still shows my PGP key, but with red ooops text beside it.
I click that text, it says I need to re-verify my pubkey
I follow the instruction, paste curl command from webpage to terminal

curl gets:

I've no idea why this happened. Then I revoked my old key, tried to add the new key. But I found I cannot add my new key as above Short steps described.

I think there may be something worng with keybase, after I revoked my device...

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

It looks like you revoked all of your keys, one by one. We don't stop you from revoking your last key, which effectively locks your account. The only thing we can do now is to reset your account

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

BTW, can you post me a copy of your public key?

frantic1048 commented 8 years ago

Thanks for your response.

You mean revoking last key will cause such situation ?

At the beginning I just revoked my device key, and I didn't revoke PGP key. But the webpage says my PGP key need a verification, and I cannot make it done because of Code: 908 above wrotes.

It really helps resetting my account, here's my public key:

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

OK, I reset your account....

frantic1048 commented 8 years ago

Thanks a lot!

I will add my key on my PC and cconfirm things work well, when I wake up. (I'm in UTC+8, it's 03:16 now… )

frantic1048 commented 8 years ago

Ok, now my account works well.

BTW, is there any info about why I cannot verify my pub key(The Code: 908), after I first time revoked device key?

mfonville commented 8 years ago

I have the same error. After removing my old GPG key and trying to add my new one I get using gpg and curl:

@maxtaco Same problem here!! After revoking the expired key, I uploaded the new one but I can't sing it. What is the correct solution for that? Thanks!

Go to the web site and select "remove key" in the gear dropdown on your profile page.

Oh @hanyOne, I see, can you use the CLI to upload your new PGP public key? Try keybase pgp select

hanyrax commented 8 years ago

I've already tried that and I got this after finishing the whole procedure:

INFO Key was already up to date.

On my profile I still have the warning saying that I have to sign a statement with the new private key. schermata 2016-07-24 alle 20 03 25

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

Urg. And what happens if you click "revoke this public key"?

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

Hmm, something is up. According to my CLI your public key is fine.

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

If possible don't do anything and we'll take a look tomorrow.

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

oops, too late!

hanyrax commented 8 years ago

yeah

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

Did you do a keybase pgp drop?

hanyrax commented 8 years ago

yes, should I wait before trying to upload it again?

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

No, I'd say just try a keybase pgp select again and I'll look what happens.

hanyrax commented 8 years ago

looks a lot better! can you confirm that? On the website everything is fine now.

maxtaco commented 8 years ago

Yeah, everything looks good to me. What do you suppose got you into the original pickle? Did we allow you to upload an expired key?

hanyrax commented 8 years ago

No, I just revoked my expired key and generated (locally) a new one. Uploading it was fine, but when I got to the point where I have prove that I'm the owner via the curl command, it kept saying that I've already an active key connected to my account so I can't activate a new one before revoking the already "activated" key.

binamkayastha commented 7 years ago

I'm getting the same error too, but I dont' have a public key and never successfully added one.

Could you reset my account as well :) (sorry)

I think it happened cause when I tried to add my key initially, I got the password wrong
