Website fails to verify message generated by command line

[latkin]

I have yet to understand what one can put into the website "verify" box and have it do anything.

Here is test message signed by command line:

keybase sign -m test
BEGIN KEYBASE SALTPACK SIGNED MESSAGE. kXR7VktZdyH7rvq v5weRa0zkP1syTF jT3tRJg4Uxp3oT8 kJfrPewpPTFpseI gCj3EZDG0DErOh0 2H7uFRqv8DoXPRY tiPWx1pXQT0x23f RiqF29o1nTgAkK7 oQRPA4N1aAo5inD TKKL2igrfcpKQMo CzuElFovhC5NT0m 3co04Lc4nVyibws v0QTpUJSXTQ. END KEYBASE SALTPACK SIGNED MESSAGE.

Command line verify works:

keybase verify -m "BEGIN KEYBASE SALTPACK SIGNED MESSAGE. kXR7VktZdyH7rvq v5weRa0zkP1syTF jT3tRJg4Uxp3oT8 kJfrPewpPTFpseI gCj3EZDG0DErOh0 2H7uFRqv8DoXPRY tiPWx1pXQT0x23f RiqF29o1nTgAkK7 oQRPA4N1aAo5inD TKKL2igrfcpKQMo CzuElFovhC5NT0m 3co04Lc4nVyibws v0QTpUJSXTQ. END KEYBASE SALTPACK SIGNED MESSAGE."
Signature verified. Signed by latkin (you).

Website claims it doesn't even understand what the message is:

The website only works with PGP messages. The command you used generates Saltpack messages. You can use keybase pgp sign and keybase pgp verify if you want to generate messages that the website will understand (if you have a PGP key set up for your account, which is optional).

We ought to (1) fix the error message; and (2) allow saltpack encryption and verification in the Web site. Haven't gotten around to it yet... Thanks for your patience...

[latkin]

Ok, thanks. How do I know when to use Saltpack and when to use PGP?

[strib]

I guess it depends on who you're sending it to. Anyone with a Keybase device listed in their profile can receive Saltpack messages. And anyone with a PGP key listed can decrypt PGP messages.

When in doubt, use PGP.
