Reddit proofs broken

[solrevdev]

This a link to my current proof. I replaced it due to an email telling me it was no longer active or found on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/KeybaseProofs/comments/1d5og7d/my_keybase_proof_redditsolrevdev_keybasesolrevdev/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I replaced it as suggested both from the website and from the command line.

It looks like Reddit is blocking Keybase

On the cli do keybase id

For my reddit output I get:

>keybase id
- INFO Identifying dfk
OK "honestduane" on reddit failed: 403 Blocked (code=240) [cached 2024-06-03 17:36:28 PDT]

So it looks like Reddit is actively blocking keybase requests as HTTP 403 means "Forbidden"

Identical issue -- got a notification Keybase is unable to access my proof on Reddit, but here it is:

https://www.reddit.com/r/KeybaseProofs/comments/1d6gj3b/my_keybase_proof_redditwls_keybasewls/

Revoked the old one, made that one, same issue.

$ keybase id
...
✔ "wls" on reddit failed: No server-given hint for sig=faf0c27698edd59189a7e91a9904bcccd08cdfb4be6ed74f4fc157bb227d5ec90f (code=306)

+1, same for me.

Same

I don't know what mechanism Keybase uses to validate this, but Reddit is clearly blocking this as @duaneking demonstrated above.

I spoke with/replied to somebody claiming to be a Reddit dev during that time, on reddit, and this might have been fixed by Reddit by a Reddit dev. Needs confirmation.

When I do a keybase id in m cli, I'm now getting OK for my reddit proof. I just worry this will break due to Reddit again.

[solrevdev]

I revoked my Reddit proof from within the Keybase Mac app this morning. Using the Mac app, I added a new one, and now everything seems to be working.

I confirmed with a keybase id from the terminal, and all looked good. I even got an email saying my proof was now working.

So, fingers crossed this is now fixed?

Note: I had to revoke it first before adding a new one. Replacing did not seem to work, as per my first post and CLI comments.

@solrevdev to me that sounds like a workaround, not a fix. Unless Keybase themselves say that the only way to fix this is to revoke and re-add this problem could just pop up again in the future..

Fair.

I just wanted to update with how I got a proof for reddit working. I've left the issue open so hopefully we will hear from Keybase at some point.

reddit proof suddenly reported as working again.

Wish I could say the same. Still broken here 🤷‍♂️
