Description

Just installed keybase and pushed my PGP key (https://keybase.io/kravietz). Now, command:

```
keybase -d prove twitter kravietz2
```

fails with the following error:

```
error: bad signature: We don't have a key for the requested PGP ops (error #1002)
```

Here are my keys:

```
$ gpg -K --with-fingerprint --with-colons 07E16AEB648F17ED
