RE: EOSTitan Does it again! Verified Public Account Profiles on the EOS Blockchain

[okayplanet]

This is a useful concept, but why not a smart contract to manage and store the info? This way require_auth can be leveraged for account verification. Perhaps v2.0?

Hi, we could have implemented this using a smart contract, but explained some reasons why we didn't in our news section:

• Any user who can send money from their account can use it (supports Scatter, Greymass and the Command-line Wallet)
• This does not consume any account RAM, so there are no unexpected costs.
• This tiny micro-payment reduces possible spam, and will hopefully allow us to maintain a high quality profile list.
• Speed of deployment. We can provide a useful service more quickly this way. I am currently only partially familiar with smart contract development.
