    What does that give you? Just curious. Might consider it, if there's some value for me to have an account there.

    It is a website / local app that is kind of like a wrapper for gpg - I have found that I don't use gpg frequently enough so I have to lookup the command syntax each time I use it. The Keybase.io site/app makes it a little easier
    to encrypt/decrypt/sign - I have also found that it makes the signing party a little bit easier.

    These reasons are my personal opinions and I am sure other opinions might
    vary.

    Sounds worth the time. I'd like to request an invite, please. :)

    Understandable.

    I found if your public key is on the public servers its pretty easy to at
    least get the key. Signing .. I'm not to sure about. I don't completely understand the trust part with a signing party. I'm used to corperate verification services.

    Key signing is just a way to say "I can verify that XXX is who they say they are". Key signings are done in person.
