On: Keybase's New Key Model

Could you explain how you did this? I was under the impression it was impossible because Curve25519 encryption isn't implemented yet.

The offline key isn't used for encryption, only signing. In this case, signing the subkeys, which are used for encryption (or auth, or signing).

Really not all that different from past days of having a dsa key with an el gamal subkey for encryption.
