I love Keybase for the ability to link together multiple identities together.
I use keybase with two profiles. One which is linked to my IRL identity. And one which is linked to my internet identity.
The Stellar offering seemed really odd to me - because it seemed so outside of its core functionality. Almost scammy.
Then I read an article on Ars Technica about a flood of scammers and that sort of connected the two dots. The Stellar offering seems to have flooded them with more “people” than they can handle.
Stellar doesn't seem odd to me at all. One of the large hurdles of working together with freelancers (especially from outside the US/EU) are payments.
If I find someone on Twitter or elsewhere posting artwork I like and I want to hire them, then Keybase makes the rest quite simple: easy to confirm identity, discuss details over chat, share files, and finally make payments.
Seems like a platform with great potential that's horribly misunderstood.
I hadn’t considered Keybase as a platform for freelance work. If Stellar is supposed to tie in with their Teams, Files and Git offerings - that makes much more sense.
But the airdrops just felt off to me. Last time I checked the github issues page - I saw half dozen issues raised just asking for airdrop info.
