Instead of https://keybase.pub/mvines/solana-validator.pubkey, we can use the pubkey in the file name itself: https://keybase.pub/mvines/solana_pubkey_<PUBKEY>
. This enables us to do a single http HEAD to determine if the pubkey is published, no need to download and parse a file. This would also allow a Keybase account to effortlessly support multiple pubkeys
We're planning on using keybase as the source of validator's public profile. Ideally we pull the validator's public key from their profile as well.
In the short term this could be accomplished by asking validators put their validator pubkey in a public file on keybase, for example: https://keybase.pub/mvines/solana-validator.pubkey
This pubkey can then be pulled programmatically for use by the blockexplorer.
The specific tasks here are:
solana-validator-info
tool that the validator's pubkey is present, and guide the user on how to add it if not
