Hi Hive account@yogidarshan thanks for the reply. The verification mark (check or star) shows others you're a trusted user. To me, it would add more value to the account than just a high reputation number, especially for those who are running a non-dApp business like I am. And I'm talking about paying with a credit card, not cryptocurrency.

A company like Couchsurfing, for example, has a multiple-level verification system. You can submit your passport pic, add your address, etc.
