Description
I received a keybase-gpg encoded message from a friend:
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: Keybase OpenPGP v2.0.51
Comment: https://keybase.io/crypto
...
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
I saved the entire blob into a file and used keybase pgp decrypt -i to decrypt it:
seth@schroeder:~$ keybase pgp decrypt -i rory.txt
▶ ERROR decrypt error: unable to find a PGP decryption key for this message
However: gpg -d < rory.txt worked fine.
What am I doing wrong?
