Twitter proof fails #3980

Open basbebe opened 3 years ago

basbebe commented 3 years ago

Hi!

I'm having problems verifying my twitter proof.

I realised that my existing proof (which worked in the past) wans;t recognized by Keybase any more. The tweet was still there though.

So I created a new one but still it can/t bve found.

Is there a known problem?

Thanks

I think I know what the issue is. During the Twitter verification step, you are asked to tweet a specific tweet on your account. You are presented with a prompt directly on keybase's website, with the following pre-filled text

extra_space

Unfortunately, it seems that there is an extra space at the end of that tweet. This extra space is causing the keybase verifier to not find your tweet. Removing the extra space before making the tweet solves the problem.
