Hello.

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

https://hivewatchers.com/verifications?utf8=%E2%9C%93&verification%5Busername_search%5D=dickturpin

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."


"If you don't have enough power or Crypto to upvote me; reshare me instead. Reshares are worth their weight in gold!"

Don't forget, you can upvote peoples comments too!

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.

Ok.

Thank you. You have been verified.

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.


"If you don't have enough power or Crypto to upvote me; reshare me instead. Reshares are worth their weight in gold!"

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://3speak.co/user/dickturpin
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.
