Some questions & comments:

* Can you have multiple private keys (site specific?)?

* Does the Android client support ed25519 keys or is it iOS only?

* Please modify your curl statement to be something like how Honeycomb does it (that is include a checksum test). https://honeycomb.io/docs/connect/nginx/

1) We are planning to support multiple private keys, but currently only support a single key pair.

2) Android doesn't yet support ed25519 but it is coming.

3) We would consider something like this but the question is how that checksum test itself is served. We'll definitely look into improving this. The curl script itself does check the hashes of the installed binaries downloaded from github.

Multiple private keys are more important than you might think, because Github won't let you use the same key in more than one account, so everyone who has more than one Github account and wants hardware tokens has to have multiple hardware tokens.

I didn't realize that, thanks for letting us know! We're actively working on this

As you seem to use multiple GitHub accounts with SSH, you might be interested by the ssh_config tricks that I implemented in github-keygen https://github.com/dolmen/github-keygen/
