As far as I can tell keybase.io has no support for Authentication subkeys. I am not sure how much subkey support they have overall.

In theory they should be able to extend their API to support authentication but a hook would need to be written into either ssh-agent or gpg-agent. I wonder if replacing gpg-agent with a keybase enabled agent would be useful for those who choose to store their key on keybase.

While I do have a keybase account, no one has interacted with me via it and I haven't given them my private key.

Anytime someone mentions `cal`, I am always reminded of the Calendar Act of 1750 which gave us this beauty:
