Designers, we need your help.

Amethyst uses 3 "verification" symbols and they all resemble Twitter's with a different color. I'd like to move away from Twitter's symbol and increase their effectiveness in communicating what they trully mean without any other explainer in the UI.

The 3 symbols are:

1. The "you follow this person" verification symbol in the top-right corner or every profile picture. This helps people identify impersonators easily.

2. NIP-05 "verification" icon as the @ on their email address in 3 states: verifying (yellow), verified (blue) and failed verification (red). Failed verification should be a big red flag that something is wrong with this account and might be potentially hacked.

3. The hash verification for NIP-94 and NIP-95 images and videos. This means the image that was downloaded to the phone is exactly the same as the image uploaded by the author.

Please send ideas for the 3 icons. Anything helps.

Do they all indicate the same verification or separate verifications? If the same, should they be consolidated in the UI? If separate, should they display differently (icon, color, other indicator, etc.)? I need to dig into the codebase, but is there a design system, style guide, etc. or has everything kinda happened organically through prototyping?

They all have different meanings as you can see from the list. It's a different verification as well but that is not important. It's about communicating the meaning, not the engineering behind it.

Hmm so my feedback is scrap #2 entirely it means nothing to me. Number 1 idk, but 3 should just be a blurred image/video with a warning popup that it’s been changed and you have to click ok on that message to view

> scrap #2 entirely it means nothing to me.

NIP05 is an effective way to validate if a person still controls the key you thought they controlled. Otherwise, how are you making sure you are still talking to the same person and not an attacker that has taken over that account?

> 3 should just be a blurred image/video with a warning ...

Then everything would be blurred because most images on your feed are just unverifiable as opposed to NIP-94 or 95 images.

Maybe #1 is like a ? For unknown/no relationship. Image of one blank avatar and an eye for ppl you follow and image of 2 blank avatars together for mutual follows
