On: Ask HN: Does anyone actually use Keybase?

[sargun]

How is that information a security problem greater than say LinkedIn?

Also, I'm curious where machine names were being exposed in Keybase?

Machine names, example from a Keybase founder: https://keybase.io/chris/devices

You choose those names when you add the device. It can be anything.

That said, it would probably be good if they added a note saying that the device name you choose is public, which is not really clear in the current UI.
