IPFS Integration for keybase mountpoint

[pipermerriam]

It seems like it should be possible to use IPFS as the transport layer rather than centralization on keybase servers. Is this on the roadmap? What can I do to help get it on the roadmap if it isn't already?

👍 Very curious about the same thing.

Not just the transport layer, but also for merging of the data serialization: https://github.com/keybase/go-merkle-tree and https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/tree/master/merkledag.

this would be a massive win for everyone:

• more peers in the distribution network
• massively reduced infrastructure costs for keybase

I also think this would be the most amazing collaboration ever. Keybase providing identity to nodes, while IPFS providing transport, scalability, and decentralization.
