Title: Changing my username Post by: subwoofer12 on September 23, 2015, 05:24:36 AM I want to swap usernames with my alt (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=556647) but I want to retain the reputation on this account. How does one get a username changed around here? I PMed theymos but no reply. Heck, I'd even give him like $5 just to change my username.
subwoofer12 sounds 'ghetto', I'd prefer Verax Verax meaning in Latin is truth teller (also a tribute to Edward Snowden ;) ) Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: saturn643 on September 23, 2015, 05:30:53 AM you can't change this unless you pay a donation of 50BTC :o

I'll try asking BadBear Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: Mitchell on September 23, 2015, 05:56:37 AM you can't change this unless you pay a donation of 50BTC :o 10BTC will do, no need for 50BTC. Anyway, theymos almost never changes usernames for someone (and why should he, it's your responsibility to pick a good name).Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: michietn94 on September 23, 2015, 07:04:58 AM you can't change this unless you pay a donation of 50BTC :o 10BTC will do, no need for 50BTC.

Only admins can change the usernames, theymos can not much sure if BadBear can though Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: Lauda on September 23, 2015, 07:58:25 AM Nope it doesn't mean he can change usernames, staff members are a group of people more or less responsible for managing the newbies or the topic they are moderator in, although I'm not sure if Staff itself has the option to change their usernames, thats probably something that hasn't been discussed yet. This is not so simple and not completely correct. There are various ranks among the staff members (i.e. patroller, moderator, global moderator). The staff members can not alter their usernames.Only admins can change the usernames, theymos can not much sure if BadBear can though I thought being staff member can change name ??? Anyway, theymos almost never changes usernames for someone (and why should he, it's your responsibility to pick a good name). As said, theymos rarely changes usernames these days. He's very busy and you need a pretty good reason for him to do it for you. However, OP maybe you will get lucky (I doubt it) and message him at the right time.Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: dragansk1 on September 23, 2015, 09:31:21 AM Try to contact developers of Bitcoin forum and tell them what you want.. I think they will help you...

Anyway, theymos almost never changes usernames for someone (and why should he, it's your responsibility to pick a good name).He maybe bought an account and he doesnt like its original Username and wanted to change to his desired one. Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: Lauda on September 23, 2015, 09:45:31 AM He maybe bought an account and he doesnt like its original Username and wanted to change to his desired one. That's not a good reason to change someone's username. While buying accounts is not against the rules, I doubt that anyone older/trusted here supports such behavior. Please stop with the unnecessary replies. We have already answered your question OP. I suggest that you lock this thread now.Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: siwakotisaurav on September 23, 2015, 09:49:54 AM I'm getting confused now, probably a new thread would be better but seeing the amount of off-topic replies here I don't think one more would hurt.
Mitchell(before deleting his post) said that staff members can change their usernames is that true or not? I thought being staff member can change name ??? No.Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: Lauda on September 23, 2015, 09:57:46 AM I'm getting confused now, probably a new thread would be better but seeing the amount of off-topic replies here I don't think one more would hurt. Sorry for the confusion. Looks like I made an error. Yes, staff members can change their name. Similar to that what donators and VIPs can.Mitchell(before deleting his post) said that staff members can change their usernames is that true or not? Note: I just did it.

LaudaM is now Lauda. :D Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: subwoofer12 on September 23, 2015, 08:28:16 PM Sorry for the confusion. Looks like I made an error.

So donator rank should cost 114 USD, correct? ;) On August 19, 2011 when theymos posted the thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38071.0) the price was 11.40 per coin He maybe bought an account and he doesnt like its original Username and wanted to change to his desired one. Nah, I've had this username on xda since 2011 http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4044244 Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: Mitchell on September 23, 2015, 08:30:17 PM So donator rank should cost 114 USD, correct? ;) On August 19, 2011 when theymos posted the thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38071.0) the price was 11.40 per coin No. 10BTC as in, 10BTC at the current price, $2320.Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: subwoofer12 on September 23, 2015, 08:31:42 PM No. 10BTC as in, 10BTC at the current price, $2320. To become a donator you needed to pay for a month of hosting. I doubt it cost 2.3k a month to host this forum, the thread should be revised ;D Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: --Encrypted-- on September 23, 2015, 08:49:57 PM changing the amount of btc required to become donator/VIP now will be rather unfair to the early donators/VIPs.
Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: Mitchell on September 23, 2015, 08:53:52 PM changing the amount of btc required to become donator/VIP now will be rather unfair to the early donators/VIPs. Plus, theymos has stated before that he won't do it. Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: btvGainer on September 23, 2015, 08:58:01 PM you can't change this unless you pay a donation of 50BTC :o I think one can become VIP member by donating 7 Btc.As a vip member,one may have privilege to change one's username I guessTitle: Re: Changing my username Post by: Lauda on September 23, 2015, 08:59:18 PM I think one can become VIP member by donating 7 Btc.As a vip member,one may have privilege to change one's username I guess No, you can not. Please stop posting nonsense and spreading false information. The required amount that needs to be donated will most likely not be changed ever. Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: subwoofer12 on September 24, 2015, 05:21:24 AM changing the amount of btc required to become donator/VIP now will be rather unfair to the early donators/VIPs. How so? Do you think laszlo would have spent 11.47 million on a pizza? Coins weren't worth that much back in the day Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: subwoofer12 on September 24, 2015, 04:07:07 PM I think one can become VIP member by donating 7 Btc.As a vip member,one may have privilege to change one's username I guess Nope, to become a VIP Donator cost upwards of $10,000 To become a donator cost 2.3k Title: Re: Changing my username Post by: redsn0w on September 24, 2015, 06:48:07 PM I think one can become VIP member by donating 7 Btc.As a vip member,one may have privilege to change one's username I guess Nope, to become a VIP Donator cost upwards of $10,000 To become a donator cost 2.3k No, the correct amount is : - 50 btc | VIP - 10 btc | Donator The conversion in dollar is 'useless' ;).
