Keybase and the Keybase Filesystem (KBFS)
Deozaan:
Ok, now the request does work in the Keybase installation on my Windows computer. :)

Funny, you requested access and I independently invited you shortly thereafter without realizing you had requested access. :P
I've also invited a few of the people on Keybase who I know from DC. If anyone else wants an invite, let me know your Keybase username. 8)
Contro:
All this for me is new.
I have installed Keybase. I see Deozaan uses also.
Do you recommend https://ipfs.io/docs/getting-started/ also, or is enough with Keybase ?

I think IPFS and KBFS are different enough that they can coexist and serve different needs.
FYI the IPFS thread is here: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=41728.0
Contro:
Thanks Deozaan , I'm going to the new link

Deozaan:
Keybase has recently launched encrypted git repositories. Both personal and team repositories are available.
It is end-to-end encrypted. It's hosted, like, say, GitHub, but only you (and teammates) can decrypt any of it. To Keybase, all is but a garbled mess. To you, it's a regular checkout with no extra steps.
Even your repository names and branch names are encrypted, and thus unreadable by Keybase staff or infiltrators.
We think this is better than paying a fee to store it in plaintext. Remember, it is impossible to delete cloud data with any kind of confidence, and your host may already be compromised.-https://keybase.io/blog/encrypted-git-for-everyone

I'm a fan of what Keybase is doing. I like privacy-by-default technologies, and ones that make it as easy as Keybase does (when it works). Here's a good example of what I mean:
Everything is signed.
All data you push is signed by your device's private key, which never leaves your device. Fetches are cryptographically verified or else they'll fail. Unlike casual PGP signing of commits, which no one in the world ever does, this is fully enforced for yourself or team.
You don't need to think about it: if you do a git pull, you'll only get the data if it's bit-for-bit exactly what the pusher pushed.-https://keybase.io/blog/encrypted-git-for-everyone

They even include a wizard to help you move a repo from some of the other git hosting services (github, etc.) into an encrypted Keybase git repo! (But it requires using the command line.)
