-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

yoc can **correctly** verify it as signed by 76D78F0500D026C4
but **Keybase online client** at https://keybase.io/verify tells:

> Signed by unknown author (key fingerprint: 76D78F0500D026C4)

whereas that key is stored on https://keybase.io/gpgtools#show-public

Research direction

Reproduce the verification using the PGP message at gpgtools.org/keybase.txt and compare yoc with the Keybase online client at keybase.io/verify. Trace how the online client resolves fingerprint 76D78F0500D026C4; done means the message identifies the GPGTools key consistently with the stored public key.
