The tool is useful for accounts which multiple authority key and / or authority applications, allowing the discover of which one of the authorities was responsible for signing the transaction.
Also, when recursive authorization happens (account A authorizes account B, which authorized account C, which authorizes account D). Allowing to pin point which of the recursive authorities was the one actually signing the transaction.

pip install steem-verifier

steem-verifier [-h] [--node NODE] transaction
transaction The transaction ID (hex) to verify the signatures.
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--node NODE HTTPS RPC node to connect, defaults to https://steemd.privex.io

Technology Stack

Roadmap
Include some automated tests and exception handling.

P.S.
Since Utopian frontend is currently unavailable and it will be way harder to set as beneficiary manually, I'll transfer utopian.pay 15% of the payout, upon release.

Great work! Thank you for making this tool available for everyone. Now i dont need to bother you to check a signature :)
:) my pleasure! It was a nice challenge given I had not really much experience with python before :) Thanks for the support!

Very cool! If you ever decide to create a new CLI you should definitely check out Click, it's amazing!

I do have a project on the line, which must use python indeed (incorporate some docker-compose functionality) I'll give click a try!
Really nice to work on Python for a change.

amazing how these tools make your life easier
Excellent tooling I think with a little automation could be added to Steemit or busy, as for your PD I am more than in agreement with you. I even made a suggestion to utopian in which they could recreate the Utopian.pay through a small register, it hurts that no one has seen it yet.
