Just created my hackernews account and went to prove my identity with Keybase.io and received this message:

> ATTENTION: HackerNews only publishes users to their API who have karma > 1.

Does anyone know why this is the case? I'm curious to how they see this proving into identity... Or is it purely an abuse mechanism?
