Most Boring (But Possibly New Way) of Verifying Your Identity?

<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/07/26/identityae705.png" /></p>
<p>Well, I've been only part of <strong>Steemit</strong> for a couple of weeks now and to be honest I missed the whole &quot;Introduce Yourself&quot; mandate, so I'm doing my part, late as usual.</p>
<p>However, being a jellyfish an all (my name is Martin by the way) and not having vertebrae is really hard to take a selfie, <strong>so I came up with the idea of a browser/desktop pic</strong> (not a screenshot, that's easier to fake, I know I'm a designer).</p>
<p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/07/25/moonjellybcb4e.jpg" /></p>
<p>Now, the only thing that proves it AFAIK is not having the <strong>Mute</strong> and <strong>Follow</strong> buttons, but like I said previously, on top of not having vertebrae I also don't possess a brain so maybe there's stronger evidence following the same concept. I'll edit the post and upload new images if that's the case.</p>
<p>Anyway, sorry for the late post with no tits and definitely no traveling (unless you count ocean currents).</p>
<p>Back to work!</p>
<p>#introduceyourself</p>

But really, many of us don't feel comfortable showing our faces and full names pasted all over the web. A lot of us come from a crypto background and privacy (not anonymity) is very important. I also prefer sites like Reddit, Twitter or Youtube where content is more important than faces, persons or how many cats you have (well there are a lot of cats in those sites too!).

Also, I don't want to sound harsh but this is an unproven and new platform, still in beta. I personally support Steemit as much as I can but I don't endorse it nor can give any guarantees. Only time will tell and judge.

I've been thinking about this this last week, while mucking about with an intro post.
Why would a photo or a desttop post count as verification ? Or is it simply it takes more effort to fake and therefore the sort of people who fake are lest likely to bother ?

And why do people 'fake' anyway ?

Exactly...but well, apparently taking a picture of "you" is more valid or legit. If verification is really needed it should be implemented by Steemit itself as any other methods are embarrassing in my opinion. I'll gladly provide other accounts which are trustable if there (Google, Facebook, Linkedin etc).

I think I'm just not ready to link my personal life to my public "bank account" at Steemit.
