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.

Compare the domain-level TXT record with the _keybase.trunat.fr placement described in the issue. Done means determining why the domain-level record is rejected and making validation handle the intended record location.
