Thanks.
----------------------------------------
johnwmail -
The following folder needs your quick attention:
/keybase/private/johnwmail
The problem is that your new devices can't access it. Fixing this is easy - just do one of the following:
with device johnw: just open the Keybase app, and it will rekey automatically
Until you perform one of the above actions, the folder will be inaccessible to your newer devices. The Keybase servers cannot fix this, because the Keybase servers aren't you. They will never be you. They can hardly run dockers, let alone human sims.
Crypto forever,
Keybase
