Title: How to register a new account with the name satoshi?
Post by: wigo21 on September 21, 2013, 06:37:50 AM
My buddy just finished developing a new bitcoin gambling site that has the name satoshi in it. When he tried making an account on this forum, he got the following message:

 The username you tried to use contains the reserved name 'satoshi'. Please try another username.

If anyone knows a solution, please advise. Any help would be much appreciated.

Dude, 'satoshi' in this forum is used by Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. You can't use a name with satoshi so that you couldn't impersonate or deceive other gullible people.   :-\

Just use s instead.

Just use s instead.
Probably a good idea, but maybe use S.<insert casino name>

Be creative!

If userids containing satoshi are not permitted, there's a good reason for this, obviously. Bitcoin is almost a religion and that may seem like idolatry (not to non-believers and atheists of course), but there's a reason why it's so revered. Bitcoin really is that great and Satoshi really is/was such a genius. Try spelling variants, e.g. sotashi, shatoshy, etc. A little creativity can be rewarded. :)

Don't you know that satoshi is the god of bitcoin world? Is username is really that important? Just add it on your signature or use a logo  on your avatar would suffice.
