Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.18-20161219185928+7868d49

On Mac, ran example from web page. Has not done anything after 20 mins.

Not following Chris or anything, before running that ls on /keybase/public showed two entries, mine and person following. Listing his empty folder and my one with stuff in it worked fine.

Research direction

Start by reproducing cat /keybase/public/chris/plan.txt on macOS with the reported Keybase GUI version and compare it with listings of the other public folders. No source files, tests, logs, or entry points are named, so investigation must first locate the macOS GUI, service, and filesystem access paths. Done means the command no longer hangs indefinitely or the failure is clearly surfaced.
