Description

Hi all,

Today I was helping a friend set up Keybase so he can identify himself as part of a Sandstorm app he is published; see https://sandstorm.io/news/2015-11-12-authenticated-app-packages for details on that.

I found that the Keybase website had a section labeled "Getting a pair", which I think is a little crude. See https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=get+a+pair if you're unfamiliar with the term. It struck me as a little insulting to read that message, but on the other hand, I was already reading over my friend's shoulder. Anyway, as someone in Sandstorm who maintains our developer documentation, I'm somewhat unenthusiastic to be pointing people to a service that says "Getting a pair", but I know I can't control everything in the world.

I would personally prefer "Getting a keypair" to be the string you display instead. I realize that you might not want to make that change; it's arguably superficial. I can live with it either way, so I hope you think about this, and then either make the corresponding change, or close the issue saying that you think the text is OK. That'll save the time of someone like me Googling this in the future.

Thanks!
