We're always trying to make the verification process better. On the one hand, it's a pain. On the other, we don't want to let someone other than you pass themselves off as you. The DNS and HTML snippet methods are similar to how verification works for many of Googles publisher and advertiser services, for what it's worth. Sorry this has proven frustrating but I hope DNS updates for you soon!

- egypturnash 8y agoDNS still isn't updated, and I got signed out of my session on your site. I'll probably be signed out again by the time I check tomorrow, if I remember to.
- egypturnash 8y agoSo just to compare: I can set up PayPal donations by including a simple link. I can set up Patreon donations similarly. I’ve claimed my site with Google by putting a file in a hidden place. Worked fine over HTTP. But Brave? Brave, I gotta get this ten year old site converted over to HTTPS. Or wait for DNS to propagate for half a day. All the while y’all might be “taking donations” for me that I’ll never see unless I get this sorted out. Honestly I’ve spent enough time on this that if I don’t see that your site’s seeing my DNS tweak when I poke at it today I’ll probably just see about making my site refuse to serve my content to Brave instead; I’m happy serving my stuff for free but not happy with y’all making money off of it.
