Verify Your Identity

Cryptographically prove that your node is operated by the listed Twitter handle.

In order to verify your Twitter handle on Amboss, the Amboss node needs to be able to see your node. To make that happen, you’ll need at least one public channel that has been open for a few days. If we’ve seen your node, you’ll already have a node page on Amboss.

Verifying

Open your account page

Navigate to the Account heading on your node’s page. On mobile, you’ll find it in the menu.

Copy the verification message

Under the Info section, scroll down to Twitter Verification and copy the public key (the message is in the form YourPubkey-TwitterHandle).

Sign the message with your node

Signing can be done with ThunderHub, Ride The Lightning (RTL), or via the command line.

For Umbrel users, ThunderHub is usually easiest: open Tools → Sign, paste the provided message in the text box, and click Sign.

Your private key signs the message without exposing the key itself. This proves control over the node.

Send the signed message to Amboss on Twitter

Send the signed message via a Twitter Direct Message to Amboss.

Make sure you send the Direct Message from the Twitter account listed on your node page.

Wait for confirmation

If everything is done correctly, you should receive a response from Amboss confirming the verification. This is a manual process and may take some time.
