Title: [List] of the most weird usernames registered.
Post by: TheBeardedBaby on October 02, 2018, 12:16:58 PM
Inspired by one other thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5042074.msg46424733#msg46424733) here are the list of usernames starting with a special symbol.
I actually did't new that is allowed to have a username with one character, but it turns out that there's even possible to have a single symbol long one.

It is allowed for old accounts, no new account can have a username with just one character:

The rules used to be looser, but a year or two ago I tightened them. Now IIRC only low ASCII is allowed, and you need at least one letter.

I have missed this info, thanks. Still there are many more like single letters and symbols but those I got listed from the BPIP till now.

I wonder if it might still work when I use my special renaming feature.
OTOH, I don't wanna screw with my name :-\

I don't think you need to play with it, theymos is slow in responding if there is an issue and not so many people have the feature to change the username so, no need.

BTW, how often you can change it? Is there any cool down time?

No idea, never tried. I like my name :)

Edit: this is what it looks like, but I don't dare hit "send":

So donators no need to ask for the theymos to change their name?! Since they can edit their name from that box and enter the current password will change into the new name,unique feature tho. :D

No, they can change them at anytime, but if you tried to change it to theymos or something with 'theymos' in it like theymoss it wouldn't allow you. I once changed my name on my main account then I couldn't even change it back to the original without an admin doing it so I assume all staff names are blacklisted in some capacity. You can't have satoshi in your name either.  Think I once tried to register hilariousandcrow and that wasn't allowed either haha.

If you want their profile link, you'll have to search for them through members search (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist) by yourself :P


Update: I realize this list is far from complete. I sorted all names, which means I only caught the ones that start with "something weird".

I don't know what's the big deal with such user-names. They're serving the same purpose as the other usual usernames with no meaning. Let members have the freedom to take whatever user-names they like to be addressed with.

Am sure these are accounts owned by those with multiple accounts
