proven identities are gone #505

Open renep opened 10 years ago

renep commented 10 years ago

I have proven my twitter and github identity, which worked, but now when I view my profile page (https://keybase.io/rpirringer) now the initial "prove my twitter/github identity" links are shown. Also my picture is gone.

When I try to prove the identity again via command line I get this: 

# keybase prove github renep
info: Updated file: /Users/rene/.keybase/session.json
info: Creating temporary keyring dir: /Users/rene/.keybase/tmp_keyrings
You already have proven you are renep at github; overwrite?  [y/N] N
error: Proof already exists
#

What I have done is that I have updated my key with keybase push --update (because I have added additional email addresses to the key)

Did you delete your tweet and gist?

It's a flaw in the command line client that it's not discarding deleted proofs, I'll try to fix that today.

Thanks

Yes I did delete the tweet and gist after the verification was successful.

Ok, you have to leave them live, otherwise, other users can't verify those proofs for themselves. You're not just proving your ownership of those accounts to the server; you're also proving them to other users going forward. If our servers are ever compromised, those running clients can still get the right answers.
