      My understanding of Keybase is that it was some kind identity aggregator. You were able to link identities not just by keys, but also by external services, like Twitter (at a time), email and other things.

        Ah, so the main difference from gnupg and openpgp servers is that it can use other methods than email to identify the owner of a key. Thank you.

        I guess the reason I am asking is that I have never understood the use-case for Keybase either.

        So your answer does not really answer my question. 😀
