Description

"set a bitcoin address" has become clickable again on my keybase.io profile, and my bitcoin address is no longer displaying, after successfully verifying my coinbase proof.

I also removed and re-created a device and paper key, and reset my keybase.io passphrase, since last seeing my bitcoin address displaying properly on keybase.io -- I am only guessing that the bitcoin address has disappeared because of the coinbase proof. The cause might be one of the other actions I've taken, or this might be an unrelated issue.

Attempting to remedy this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Keybase>keybase btc 16k2AdXLH5ULimqibRiAW8sbmqtvB68bgo
- ERROR User already has a cryptocurrency address. To overwrite, use --force.

Tried again with --force and now my bitcoin address is displaying on keybase.io again:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Keybase>keybase btc 16k2AdXLH5ULimqibRiAW8sbmqtvB68bgo --force
Added bitcoin address 16k2AdXLH5ULimqibRiAW8sbmqtvB68bgo

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the Coinbase proof and checking the Keybase profile alongside the `keybase btc` command, then determine which action removes the address and verify that the address remains displayed after the affected workflow.
