Description
Hello,
Is there any reason to refuse - characters in usernames in the website (removed after keypress) ?
It's a basic ascii char and shouldn't have special meaning (like @ could)
I like my github username and would like to keep it for keybase :)
(I wait before creating my account as I am not sure I will be able to rename it afterwards)
Thanks

Research direction
The issue concerns username validation on the Keybase website, but it names no file or test. Start by locating the website's username input and validation entry point; done means a username containing an ASCII dash is retained after keypress and accepted during account creation.
