Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.23-20170522110822+8a8aea0

The first bug I encountered was trying to start keybase. It just opened up the window and said loading but nothing else. I tried repairing but it gave an error that it wasn't the right version despite using the same version installer. So I uninstalled and re-installed. The next bug, I don't exactly know if its a bug or user error but, I typed in keybase pgp decrypt hoping for a help thing to pop up but instead the command line glitched and got hung up on it? I typed in q and pressed enter hoping to quit out but nope. Happy bug hunting!
