Description

I get the following error anytime I write a message on any Keybase chat:

`This message failed to send. Cancel or Retry.`

I have tried everything and there seems to be no documentation for this error that several other users have had. I have also done the following things, as per Keybase's own advice for greater security.

1. I have installed Keybase on several other devices (4 computers and 1 phone).
2. I have proofed my Keybase account with Twitter and Reddit accounts.

WTF?
