Description

When I first created my Keybase account, I did so with a PGP key -- in the attempt to move things using that key to a new(er) key [to avoid swapping yubikeys as often] I dropped that key, and resubmitted proofs with the new one. That part worked fine.

However, when I look at https://keybase.io/dive/graph, it appears that dive@keybase is no longer connected to any valid keys - only a deleted PGP key.

It's worth noting that keybase encrypt, decrypt, sign, and kbfs functionality seem to be working fine, I can login and logout, etc.

Is this a situation I can recover from or do I need to start over from scratch?

Let me know what other information you need and I'll drop it on KBFS.
