Description
Yesterday I reported a mysterious error message I encountered when trying to read encrypted messages sent to me by the account spacedrop. In an attempt to fix this, I tried a suggestion found on Stack Exchange which is "keybase db nuke". Now when I start Keybase, it says "can't get accounts" but doesn't suggest any action to move on:
