Bitcoin Forum

Can i change my username here on BitcoinTalk forum?  ??? ??? ???

i dont think so lets see

No. To have the ability to change username you have to be a Staff or VIP member. Both ranks are not achievable basically, as I'm sure nobody would donate 50 BTC to the forum, especially when the forum doesn't need donation anymore.

Yes, 50 BTC is such a big amount that no one will like to donate only to change his username on the forum, Instead, log out from the forum and create a new account

Yes, the forum has other resources now, the forum doesn't advertise anything using ad networks. Instead, theymos auction some ad space on the forum. There are 8 slots available to auction every month. For further details, you can check this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2206667.0

Yes you can change your username by paying 50 BTC :o

You can't.If you are not okay with becoming a donator,you can always start a new account with your preferred user-name and since you are only at a Junior level,this is the right time to.

50 BTC to change username  :D

Hello, I've found a way to change the username linked to a specific email address but my account was never used and therefore I'm not affected by old posts, activity or merit. I'm assuming this is not what you're looking for but I'll post my method anyway.

Go to: Profile > Account Related Settings > Change the email address: change the email address to a secondary one that you don't use.
Now your primary email address is freed up and you can use it to register a new account with a different username.

I personally did this because I wanted my primary email to be associated with my new username.

That just changes the email address which isn't public anyway unless you check the checkbox. The OP is looking to change his username which is displayed every time he posts.

Actually, it's only 10 BTC, since Donators can change their names, too.
A real bargain 8)

I guess, it's impossible :(

Actually can

10 BTC is not so expensive at your times since 2009 maybe  ::) If your a trader at that time. I think you are the whales in this present era. Have you ever tried to change your username once ?

I don't know why I haven't seen a VIP member here on the forum joining on discussions anywere. Are they hiding or what? Just curious  ;D

This option is available on most of the forums but it requires messaging the admin. Since, the staff here is busy with a lot of work, they might not have the time to fulfill these requests. Also, I think if some members do this. a lot of other members will also start making such requests even if they do not need it. Simple solution to the issue is to start with a new account with desired username but you will have to start from scratch.

Most old VIP accounts were of businesses and have never been in regular use.
A bunch of VIPs left the forum for good to open up their own "crypto crypt".
A few accounts were hacked in 2016, AFAIR.
The last remnants are hardly ever active, and if so, in the "VIP lounge".

As per the responses made here, this is something hard to achieve. But I think there must be an option to get this done by contacting a staff. This is because some people may have a genuine reason for this like their identity being revealed by their current username. Or in other cases, some members might want their username to go with the new project they are going to launch. I agree that this can overburden staff with more work but we can limit it to one request per year for one member.

That is not necessarily to implement that changing username, in that case, you may hide from another name or having an impostor name like for example wearing for theymos name and start making foolishness from other members here.

You don't need to have change you Usermane just for join ICO's project, you can used wearing signature as a part of their campaign.
You can also buy Copper member they are given autorized to bring picture  here in forum, so it is really hard to accept that implementing of changing profile name is did not grant.

If you become a high profile member your chances of having your username changed increase dramatically. I saw that he recently changed the username of "Alia" due to apparent safety concerns about her old name. Maybe if you're in a similar position you might be eligible for a change, but I doubt it.

I will probably love my username the way it was at the first time I enter it here on the forum. If only Bitcoin is just a thousand penny just like back when then I wouldn't hesitate to donate and change my username or add something to it.

Yes! You can change but you need to become VIP member first by donating 50 btc here in the forum. Just a friendly advice, discontinue your plan of changing your username because it's not practical to spend a lot (50 btc is equal to 25M in Php) just to change your username. But if you insist then creating a new account is a better choice.
