Some of you may remember that what is now called follow
in keybase, used to be called track
. This led to a heavily commented issue.
My suggestion to use recognize
wasn't because "it sounded nice", but because this was the most accurate description I could come up with for a non-trivial concept concerning crypto and identity — fields where god is in the details and NSA et al hide where they're absent or vague.
I don't claim my idea is or was the best, but facts are:
- It was ignored.
- The fact that the term
pin
wasn't (although it's bound to be confused with something irrelevant on pinterest and something compeletely different on ssh) suggests that @malgorithms et al actively chose not to dignifyrecognize
with an answer (not even a negative one).
