Last week, both @torgo & I attempted to verify each other's safety numbers in person using Signal from @whispersystems.
It is impossible.

We both scanned each other's QR codes. It still gives me error "tap to verify" when I try to send to him and his msgs disappear into ether.

Are you on iOS or Android?
-
After a QR scan or visual comparison, if you're satisfied with the result, you should just have to accept the prompt to deliver pending msg.

I'm Android
@torgo is iOS. We both scanned each other's codes (took ages to find that option). Didn't do anything. -
It didn't show you a big green check or a big red x?
-
I have seen neither.
-
And anyway shouldn't you be able to send a message to someone who isn't verified?
-
Signal is "trust on first use." If you have a conversation with someone, and the safety numbers change, that requires manual approval.
