StemIt 101: How to become VerifiedsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #howto8 years ago


New to SteemIt, and looking for some possible ideas of how to verify yourself with out having to post those pictures of yourself. There is a away you can. Today I just learned about the project http://www.steemverify.com/. You upload a photo of yourself, which the will not keep, nor post on the blockchain. All it takes is a contribution of SBD when you have finished. According to the FAQ if they do not accept your application for any reason they will refund your SBD, so if they can not verify you then there is no loss to you.
As the FAQ says please keep in mind this does not mean the verified person will not create spam, it just means that they have been verified as a real person. I have not yet received my badge as I just applied today and it takes between 24 and 48 hours to receive the badge.

As you can see this is a very easy process. in step A just fill in your email. Step B is your SteemIt user ID. For Step C you can get this from your SteemIt Wallet page it is the number in parenthesis after your SteemIt user ID, seen here from an older screenshot I made.

For the part in Step D, if you already made a post in the introducemyself tag you can add the link here. Part C just upload a pic of yourself, as I said they just verify your a person, it will not be added to your Steem account. All they need is a pic of your face with a sign that has the date and your SteemIt ID. If you use any other social media platforms you can add your links here, this can help with the verification process.
Step F just verify that you have made at least 10 or more posts using your SteemIt account. For Step G select one of the badges they have available. At the moment there are 10 badges available.

You may add any comments here if you would like. After submitting this page they ask for a small donation of SBD, currently there is no minimum. I sent over $0.30 since I do not have much SBD at the moment.

Images: I made the first gif. The remaining images were made from screenshots on my computer.

Thank you for reading, I hope this helps.


Thanks to @papa-pepper for the gif.

Thank you for the mention and write-up! we'll be doing another overhaul of the website and idea soon. A lot of the work is done by @reneenouveau she works her tail off for us!

Your welcome, would love to help out and write he post when it is completed.

Thanks! I haven't been verified....I didn't know it was necessary. Thanks for the info.

Not really necessary but it can help from what I have read. I did to add the logo to my posts as soon as I get it.


Just received the verificatoin

Thanks for the information. great article, it's help me a lot.

Thanks! Resteemed for later reference.

Your welcome, will post with my badge as soon as I get it, since I just submitted the verification today.

What benefits does the badge confer?

Just that your a real person, and you can add it to your post. Also the FAQ says:
Why should I use your service?
Verification can up your post value. People will feel comfortable with upvoting your posts knowing there is a real human being the post and account.


Just relieved the verification!

Hi I sent you some gold for the special personalized steemit verified logo, how did all that work out please?

Could I find out how it is all is going. . .

I like it just to show I am a real person. I received it rather quickly. I have not had to much chase to post this week being Thanksgiving and my wife's father came into town and I have been away from the computer. But this is what it looks like.

very nice and thank you for the recommendation : )

Your welcome hope it catches on!

followed, ty

Your welcome.
