Description

I have a private twitter feed, so I tried putting the proof into the twitter profile (visible on the twitter.com/@user page). That should be recognized as well as it being in the feed, but it isn't.

(I did try changing my privacy setting to public, tweeting the proof, doing the verification (which worked), and then returning to private; but once I did the latter the proof broke.)

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how Twitter proofs are verified and how the Twitter profile is distinguished from the stream, then reproduce the case with a private feed. Done means a proof placed on the Twitter profile is recognized without requiring a public tweet.
