Description

My Hacker News account (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=chenlianmt) has karma of 4. But when proving it on my keybase account (https://keybase.io/liangchenmt), it flags an error saying "ERROR Bad karma". What should I do?

Research direction

The issue links a Hacker News profile and a Keybase account and reports an "ERROR Bad karma" result during account proving. Start by reproducing the proof with the linked accounts and inspect the verification path that handles Hacker News karma. Done means a valid account with karma 4 is accepted or the error explains the actual requirement.
