Description

As a keybase user as well as a yours.org user I find it valuable to link authors to their real identities. Too many people imposing others on the internet nowadays.

In the keybase 'prove' list of supported proofs there doesn't seem to be anything where I could write a post on the yours.org site and get it validated by keybase.

I would really like to be able to tie my yours.org identity to keybase in a transparent manner. It is important to note that the people behind the site are enthusiastic about keybase as well, and as such changes on their side may be possible if we discuss this early enough.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Keybase's existing supported proof types and the issue's proposal for linking a yours.org post to a Keybase identity. Done would require an agreed proof design and a transparent validation path for yours.org identities; the issue names no files or tests.
