Description
currently keybase has 2 different encryption modes that seem to be mutually incompatible, if you encrypt PGP on the website (or using any other tool) then you cannot decrypt that using the keybase client, you have to actually open the keybase website and login there and then enter your password again to decrypt.
however when you get something using the encryption method in the client, you cannot decrypt without the website.
might be useful to allow both modes in both places

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the encryption and decryption paths used by the Keybase website and client, then determine how their modes differ; done means either mode can be used from both places without requiring a separate website login.
