Would this verification feature be similar to how keybase works? You post a "fingerprint" message to a host of public web sites (ie. Twitter, Facebook, GitHub Gist, etc.) that anyone use to verify your identity. The idea is that even if someone tried to impersonate you, they would have to take over all of your accounts in order to do so.

I like this idea and think it would be a great addition to the development world.
