Description

**Describe the bug**
Keybase is not recognizing gist (public) as a proof

**To Reproduce**
My kebase.io profile is: https://keybase.io/suhasjog
I posted a public gist as a proof at: https://gist.github.com/suhasjog/4fa391aac5a45af990b56afffa11536c
keybase is not able to recognize this proof

here is the email received from keybase:

```

Hi, suhasjog, your attempted github identity proof of @suhasjog never succeeded. We've been checking it repeatedly, and from our perspective, it's either (a) not there, or (b) not posted precisely.

If you think there's a bug, please post an issue on github. Include the link to your proof.

And here is your profile, in case you'd like to try again: https://keybase.io/suhasjog.
You may also prove yourself with the keybase command line app.

Thanks! -Keybase
