Description

I've seen issue #256 with the same error, but it looks like it was related to the command line and GPG.

I get this error in the browser when trying to join keybase. The button is greyed out and stuck on "Joining"

The full error is

```
Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function keybase.io/_/brew/_/6fb796fa/sitewide-js.js:42
```

Browser is Chrome 35, there was no other trace information available.

EDIT: On second try it worked immediately and I'm registered successfully.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the registration flow in Chrome 35 and inspect sitewide-js.js at line 42, where the TypeError is reported. Confirm whether the failure occurs while joining keybase and whether a retry consistently completes registration; done means the browser flow no longer gets stuck on “Joining”.
