Description

If for some reason the proof process fails in the middle, the twitter proving system should check the tweet stream to see if there's a pre-existing proof tweet, rather than requiring the user to tweet a new one. (I had to tweet five or six proofs before one went through.)

Thanks for a cool service!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Twitter proving system and trace how it handles a proof process that fails partway through. Done means an existing proof tweet can be detected and used instead of requiring another tweet.
