Description

[write something useful and descriptive here]

my log id: b7949b8a502fe2db84a39b1c

I tried to register my GitHub account, JoshuaFox. Here is the gist https://gist.github.com/JoshuaFox/6d1a6e4cd8d9b521dc17310c3e7e5fc4 Unfortunately, Keybase is not reading this correctly.
Maybe this is because my GitHub is JoshuaFox but in Keybase, it appears in lowercase as joshuafox. Worse, I cannot remove joshuafox and retry as JoshuaFox

Note that GitHub does treat usernames as case-insensitive: https://github.com/JoshuaFox and https://github.com/joshuafox show the same profile
