Description
$ keybase track ametaireau
admin of the DNS zone for notmyidea.org (failed with code 201)
But
$ dig TXT notmyidea.org
;; ANSWER SECTION:
notmyidea.org. 86208 IN TXT "keybase-site-verification=U-P1PVRQecvaFHBRtOqNGm4QAwQgv93qTLj3zvfkJ5s"
I had a similar problem validating trunat.fr and I had to put the TXT entry on _keybase.trunat.fr for it to work.
