Description

So i have this message to verify and when i verify it on keybase.io it says signed by a different identity then the one supposed to be signing it. Does it mean the 2 keybase users are the same person?

This is the message, it says signed by marcotheminer while i receive that message from another user:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
