README - Keybase — ContextQMD

Attention, please.

This code is a work in progress, and we publish it for full transparency. You can review the source code, but:

you shouldn't just run this code without reading it, as it may have bugs or stubbed out crypto
it might not do exactly what it says it is doing

If you really want to install Keybase, please return to the top level Readme.md for official release instructions.
