Title: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: genjix on January 07, 2011, 01:31:13 AM Current idea:
Bitcoin Genjix I will do a legal name change and use it in everyday life. Will present proof here after completion (bank cards, documents .etc). Open to other suggestions. Not really too attached to my name. Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: chris200x9 on January 07, 2011, 01:49:21 AM for Ben Dover I bid 0 bitcoins!
Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: Mahkul on January 07, 2011, 01:53:11 AM Any chance you could state your real name before we ruin it? :)
Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: fabianhjr on January 07, 2011, 02:02:11 AM Abrams Brian Charlie Dominique... etc ...Xena Yankee Zelda. I dare you! You would have a 500+ chars name. xD
Also +1 on knowing your current name and putting this(0_o how do I call it? Is it an auction?) on CouchSurfing and other sites you are part of. :P Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: genjix on January 07, 2011, 02:22:30 AM ^ haha I like the above idea!
About my real name- is it needed? Anyone that wishes to know can PM me, however it's not best to put it here as googling it finds out a ton of info about me. It's a pretty shitty name- religious and ugly. Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: fabianhjr on January 07, 2011, 02:45:55 AM Wait, can you change your name to Santa? I want my gifts of 2011 Christmas right now Santa! Where are you?

It will make signing documents very easy. if that's your goal, go for "I". twice as easy as 'X'! :) Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: Anonymous on January 07, 2011, 05:20:47 AM I bid 20btc if you change your name to Leo Laporte

Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: JohnDoe on January 07, 2011, 05:20:01 PM Final Boss.
You can thank me later. Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: genjix on January 07, 2011, 05:34:23 PM ok you do realise that changing my name costs $60? Then I have to get my lazy ass out. Then I have to request new documents, bank accounts, ... There's a reason I put 2k btc in the title :p I'm serious and will use this name.
Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: lasszy on May 28, 2011, 03:54:00 PM How about Baron Ivor Tex Coin...initials BIT Coin.
Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: Dansker on May 28, 2011, 04:11:49 PM If anyone is serious about taking up his offer: Pool up with other people in a collection to get 2000 BTC pledged towards this by trusted users. (Or have a trusted third party hold the money in a seperate wallet untill 2000 is reached.)
This ofcourse requires a name that the community can agree on. I would suggest to anyone undertaking such a thing to: 1. Pick a name that will bring BTC media coverage 2. Is legally allowed as an actual name An idea could be that we all chip in, untill we have 2000 BTC between us, and gets his name changed to "Bit Coin". Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: Fiyasko on May 28, 2011, 04:36:10 PM 2000btc is 17,000 dollars.
Are you sure you wanna set the pool THAT high? I vote for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Sounds good during first-last name introductions. Spells WTF and Tango isnt a bad middle name, it'd basically be your new nickname Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: kuba_10 on May 28, 2011, 05:07:21 PM JackRabbit, this topic was created when 1btc was 0.06USD.
Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: DarkLinkXXXX on May 28, 2011, 05:09:35 PM 0.01 btc, for you to change name to "bobby tables" (http://xkcd.com/327/). :) I'll also pay 1 bitcent for this. :) Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: Fiyasko on May 28, 2011, 10:07:43 PM JackRabbit, this topic was created when 1btc was 0.06USD. AHAHHA FACEPALM. Soooo is his still offering to change his name? Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: NicholasBell on May 28, 2011, 10:13:37 PM If anyone is serious about taking up his offer: Pool up with other people in a collection to get 2000 BTC pledged towards this by trusted users. (Or have a trusted third party hold the money in a seperate wallet untill 2000 is reached.) You don't really need trusted users except genjix himself. He can give out one of his addresses that anyone can put money into until it receives a total of 2000 BTC. At that point, the name change can happen.

Spells WTF and Tango isnt a bad middle name, it'd basically be your new nickname Well, I wouldn't change my name for any less. Would you perhaps be willing to change your name for less? ;D Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: Alex Beckenham on May 29, 2011, 10:08:34 AM Please change your name to Alex Beckenham.
Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: Alex Thornton on May 29, 2011, 11:31:42 PM Please change your name to Alex Beckenham. That would be too confusing :D Title: Re: Selling my name - 2000 BTC Post by: kgo on May 30, 2011, 03:14:33 AM What would be a fair offer at the current exchange rate: 500 BTC? 250 BTC?
If Genjix is serious, or there's another taker, I'd be happy to open something on GLBSE to accumulate donations and act as a trustee. (My bitcoin-otc ident is tied pretty well to my real world identity. You can track down me or my place of employment pretty easily.) 30 Days to raise the total money, or it gets returned to donors at no cost. After that 30 days for proof of the name change? Or perhaps that might need to go in installments, given gov't bureaucracy and big business. Something like: X Days for proof of legal name change. 25% payout. X Days for proof of new driver's license. next 25% X Days for credit cards. Next 25% Final payment after it's been established that the name change has been valid for a year. Final 25%. Put up a vote put up to shareholders if a milestone gets missed, in case the person can show a good faith effort that the hold up isn't on their end? If for example, the state they live in has a waiting period or something. |
