Thanks for testing bti with OAuth and identi.ca and for your bug
report!

Ok.

So you've entered te consumer_* variables syntactically correct in
~/.bti :)

It says so for Twitter and I assumed that it works the same for
identi.ca (that's why I wrote "should be the same" in the README).
It seems that this assumption might be incorrect ...

I've asked upstream if they can help us with this question (at the
moment I'm not sure where the problem is).

Since, if I understand the situation correctly, the problem is only
related to identi.ca (which doesn't need OAuth) and not to twitter,
I'm lowering the severity, since bti is usable with both. Please
correct me if I misunderstood something (i.e. bti + OAuth doesn't
work for twitter).

Cheers,
gregor
