Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

Although I'm not new here, I’m reaching out and making this post because I believe someone here may be able to assist me. Unfortunately, I’ve been having difficulty connecting with the administration regarding my name change request, despite multiple attempts to reach out.

I can’t help but feel a bit concerned about the lack of response. I understand that everyone has their own priorities, but I’ve noticed that some admins I've reached out to previously about my request have been active recently.

If you could provide any guidance or support in this matter, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards, 
Kazkaz27

Contact theymos again to change it for you. If it is not changed, just take it like that. Some people that have good reasons to change their username on this forum were able to change their usernames. Admin changed it for them.

Hello, Charles-Tim.

Thank you for your reply.

I appreciate the suggestion to contact theymos regarding my name change request. I want to emphasize that my request is valid, as it is essential for verification purposes. Having the correct name is crucial to ensure that no one can act under my LLC name, which could lead to complications.

I hope this can be resolved promptly, and I’m grateful for any assistance you can provide in facilitating this process.

Thank you again for your support!

It could be you have been sending pm to mods instead of Theymos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35). Only Theymos can change your username. Keep sending a reminder to Theymos that you want a name change. Give a good reason why you want to change your username and if it meets his criteria, he will change your username.

Hello, Pokapoka124.

Thank you for your insight.

You’re correct that I have been reaching out to the moderators instead of directly contacting theymos. I appreciate the guidance on this. I just sent a message to theymos regarding my username change request, clearly outlining my reasons.

As mentioned, my request is based on the need for verification and to protect my LLC name, which I believe are valid concerns. I hope those reasons would match Theymos’s criteria. Thank you for your help in clarifying the proper procedure!

There are two admins: theymos and Cyrus. You can contact them both with your username change request. Be polite and provide enough details on why you want the username change.

Valid or not, we are not here to decide it. Two admins will decide it after receiving your PMs with full details. They will assess it and answer you with Yes, or No.

Two contact points for you.
theymos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35)
Cyrus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=78147)

Good luck.

Forum moderators are not responsible for username change. Only theymos or Cyrus can do it for you so now, contact the right people.

I contacted Cryus about it several times but to no avail. I assumed he was busy as I was left with no response.

I don't think they will change your username immediately I'm sure they are busy both Cyrus and theymos but there's other way to change your forum username I'm sure they are going to change it immediately however, you can't maybe able to afford it.

Read this below posted on unofficial forum rules


I don't know if 50BTC is the fixed amount to become a VIP member maybe try asking theymos about it.

Haha, that's ridiculous 😆 Even if I could afford such a thing, 50 Bitcoins of mine would never go towards such a thing.

Yeah, that will be ridiculous but if admins will update the price to change the username up to the standards of the current era only, then will it become easy for us to change the username but it will be a bit hard for me (personally) when people here will be changing their username too often. They can spam others by changing names.

BTW what business you are running here for which its necessary for you to have the same name? I hope your request will be accepted as there were some members that got their name changed,, like there was mk4 whose previous name was mjglqw you can find more cases like this one on the following thread where members have shared their stories, like how they got their username changed. So by reading them, you can get some idea of how to convince admins.

Overview of recent username changes in Bitcointalk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5215892.0)

My eyes popped open when I was 50bitcoins. I punched my calculator to know the value in 2014 when the rule was made and now. In 2014, one bitcoim was around $300. In 2024, it is around
$57,000. That is a whole lotta money. I know some folks who changed username. Someone in my local board did change their username. You may need to be persistent and patient in your request. All the best.

Stop messing around and wasting the forum administration's time. Your nickname doesn't matter, what matters is what you can offer the BTC-community. The content of your posts is what should concern you.

I guess you, as a CEO, have enough on your plate.

I guess one of the main reasons members change their username is because of security reasons. They were about it convince the administrators that such change is important. I also know that a certain campaign manager changed his name because of business concerns. Which means your reason can be considered worthy. You just have to be patient and periodically remind the administrator about your request.

OP want a change because of business purposes. If he can convince the administrators, his request might be granted.

Good luck OP with your request. thyemos is known for accepting name change every once in a while, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Yeah, because name change requires a lot of work. :P

If you curious about my business just press on my Signature Banner and it will direct you to my website.

Thank you, tranthidung, BitMaxz, Faisal2202, Davidvictorson, Die_empty, and Rikafip for all your help, comments and support.

I very much appreciate your guidance and thoughtful responses.

I will run with the advice. If it works out in my favor ill drop a comment here in the future with my name changed.

Cheers🙌🍻

Hahaha that’s too much money to spend for changing one’s username on a online forum. You quoted a post from 2014, the price of 50bitcoins then and now are not the same. OP wouldn’t even consider such an expensive option. 

---

OP don’t expect your request to be accepted immediately, keep sending pms to Theymos occasionally and if you’re lucky he will accept. As far as I know, he has accepted quite a few of these requests in the last couple of years so keep trying.

You obviously want to change your name to BitVipCoins (₿it VIP Coins) in order to promote your business more successfully on the forum. So maybe it's easier for you to register an alternative account with that name?

I've rarely seen the name change here on this forum, at least in my entire timeline there was name changes 2 times, once for the paid2 and second for the Skepticalchemist as far as i know, well there can be some other names but I dont know about them, but you need to know haha its very expensive to change name according to the VIp plan but if theymos give you a chance that's an exceptional case.

Or you can go for a new account registration. Once I can accumulate 100k BTC i will help you in changing the name.

We joined the forum in the same year although you’re months ahead of me. I can think of 4 other popular accounts who have changed their username during the time we’ve been here. I don’t think it’s necessary to mention their names because I believe it defeats the point of the name change. In my opinion, the reason OP gave is good enough to get his request approved. Theymos has probably approved the request of others but we can’t know them all unless they are popular names.

I haven't yet requested name change myself as I'm happy with my current username but I believe it could be only changed by Theymos. If you can send a good private message to Theymos and if he reads it and consider your name change request genuine then there's chance that he might change your username OP, otherwise you will have to keep the same username that you've picked during registration.

Yes it is from 2014 I tried to search and I ended up at donation page (https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html) it seems they changed it and they are no longer accepting donations. So there's no hope of becoming a VIP member for changing the username. His last hope if theymos and cyrus will grant his request.

@OP why not register the Username that you want if your problem is the limitation you can buy the Copper membership (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote) to increase the limitation it is cheaper around 40k sats.

Perhaps this is probably the best idea OP can get. I thought of it too, instead of struggle too much for an account that you're probably going forgo some day and just focus on creating a new one  and surely @OP can afford copper member for lifting the limitations.

OP consider BitMaxz suggestion it's probably the best knowledge or idea you can get towards your want or least keep waiting for admins responses which is under probability if they would accept the proposal even if they get to see it.

Condition to become a VIP member did not change. 50 BTC is the condition.

Some exceptions for people with very big contributions to the forum, without 50 BTC in donation, can be awarded a VIP badge.

That's another option to do if name change request has been denied. But he could still able to try to contact the administrator towards this request.

He cannot expect any fast response from them since provably it will take time for this request to get approve. But let see if OP could able to make this things happen since if he can change his name successfully then provably lots of people which have an issue might change their name. I believe its rare case that administrators allow this changes.

Although they grant certain individuals to change their names, but those guys are contributors of this forum and provably they look at the contribution done by those people.

AFAIK, theymos is active when it comes to PM and since you got a valid reason for this request of name changing that can be accepted or declined.

Until now you can't do anything at all, from time to time remind admin about your request apart from that you can't do anything. Or you can create a new account in the desired name for your company and can ask DT users to mark it as part of your official account that might work upto certain extent.
