Description

Hi, my Twitter proof isn't working. Here's the proof: https://twitter.com/adamzmith/status/1144648130685747201

An auto email from Keybase says: "We've been checking it repeatedly, and from our perspective, it's either (a) not there, or (b) not posted precisely."

I am pretty sure I posted the proof exactly as instructed (copy and paste!). On Keybase it says the proof is "unreachable" and yet I can click "View proof" and it links through to the proof I posted.

Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Adam

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the linked Twitter proof and the reported “unreachable” status, then trace how this proof is checked in the Keybase client. The payload names no files or tests, so the relevant entry point must be located from the proof-verification flow. Done means the reported proof is correctly recognized as reachable, or the failure is documented with a reproducible cause.
