How can I help? Sharing this post on your timeline would be awesome! It would mean all your followers will see it and your followers might not be our followers.
My coffee is probably at least a double strength dose in a mug. Keeps me wide awake all day.

STOPHello.
Your verification submission has been rejected.
There is no social media account being provided that mentions "Hive".

What utter bullshit! Your application asks for a Hive post which I did. Any old Hive post should suffice. Please make your instructions clearer. Put something like. "Please provide a Tweet that mentions Hive."
Hi. Verifying the authorship by providing your other post on Hive/Peakd, etc would not make sense.
It needs to verified externally if you wish to do it.
Ahahahaha
Obviously, you have already requested verification and it was rejected. Submitting it again, with the same username would reject it.
I have deleted the record. Try again.
Is that gonna do it? I've not submitted yet
Hello again.
You might have missed our reply.
We have seen the link to Hive in your Twitter.
You have been verified.
Here is the log:
https://hivewatchers.com/verifications?utf8=%E2%9C%93&verification%5Busername_search%5D=dickturpin
Thank you so much for the verification.
Ok.
I can see the link to Hive in your Twitter.
Thank you. You have been verified.
Here is the log:

Which I did. I posted a link to work I did on @3speak which in turn was propagated on Hive.
And what on earth does that mean anyway? "The user has verified" That's as clear as mud isn't it?
Tell you what, I'll have one more go.
Linking to peakd/hive.blog/3speak to verify would not make sense as all these frontends are part of the same blockchain ecosystem. Anything posted in any of these frontends is simultaneously posted in all other frontends.

https://hive.blog/@dickturpin
https://peakd.com/@dickturpin
What sense would it make to verify your account in Hive ecosystem by linking to the same account in Hive ecosystem.
Our verification is to verify the identity externally via social media or owned website.
