RE: Steem Verify API

in #steemit7 years ago

I've been to the website, but I apparently need to get verified first. How can I do that with you guys? I've been waiting to get my "I'm a real boy" verification badge from @steemverify I've just been waiting a bit. I know it's free, but I'm still gonna kick you guys down 3 SBD.
Thank you for your time. V

Hi. We no longer let people apply for verification. Instead, notable community members "verify" people who are at a high risk of impersonation.

Why? Well.. verifying anybody and everybody kind of defeats the purpose. Thanks for your continued support though.

This new direction makes perfect sense. In my younger years with Myspace and Friendster as well as the other social media sites before Friendster, I had a lot of people creating fake accounts with my photos.
I definitely like.
