Description

I had thought that I had uploaded my keybase gpg key into the keybase web interface, but now it doesn't seem to exist. My keybase is https://keybase.io/mithro, you should see that this github account is verified.

Is there a way to check if I did and something has gone wrong or that my memory is just bad?

Is there a way to check that a GPG key in your keyring matches the one I provided to keybase? All the keys I have been able to find locally seem to error with `Error: Error: primary public key doesn't match private key`.

BTW I'm assuming that Keybase stores your keys in the normal GPG directory, right?

Thanks for your help.

Research direction

Start by checking the Keybase profile at keybase.io/mithro and the local GPG keyring referenced in the report. Compare the available public and private keys with the key associated with the verified GitHub account, and document whether the key is missing or produces the reported mismatch error.
