You mean you don't trust the "run a random binary from the internet as
root?" instructions they provide you:
	https://keybase.io/docs/the_app/install_linux
:(

And Jon, it's not "FUD" it's the apparent hypocrisy of some companies
INSISTING on keeping things "secure" and then they go and place the
patches created here up on a random location/site and insist on all
security people from all companies run some random binary as root just
to talk about when they might be releasing things and what to do next
and when they should all meet up for beer when they are in town.

If I wanted to Trojan a whole bunch of people that really should know
better, this would be the place to do it.

ugh.
