Title: Username Change Because of Rebranding
Post by: Veldt Gold on March 02, 2015, 02:38:46 AM
Hi

Agora Commodities has rebranded, and we're now known as Veldt Gold. Could we have our username changed to Veldt Gold to replace Agora Commodities?

Thank you!

- Joseph

You are probably going to have to send a PM to theymos to get a special address to donate 50 btc to and then you can change your address as many times as you want

I guess you can change your username if you become a donator. If not this is totally depends on theymos time and mood. I only see a few members changed by theymos. Good luck

It is actually VIP, not donator. Donator accounts need to donate 10 btc and VIP need to donate 50 btc

Something tells me you will not have your request granted.

If so then everyone should be able to have this privilege.

Only VIP donators who donate 50BTC can do this.

Theymos has slightly altered names by dropping off the second word of a two word username for example but I haven't seen him completely change a username before. It would open him to many new requests if he agrees to change yours.

Your new account is ready for use. Please pm your email address so I can set it as the accounts email address.

After that, use the the reset password option to take control of it.

You created a new account? Who's PM was that? theymos?

you actually need to have vip status not donator.

It seems like I can still change my displayed name (which is currently different from my username).

How???

He's a donator if you look under his name on the left panel.

Yes, I did create a new account for Agora Commodities. Consider it a free service. Pm to this account obviously. There's no need to involve theymos in creating a new account.

Theymos might change your display name (not your username) if you send him a PM. He has done this in the past and may do it for you, if he feels like it.

Your other options are:
  • Buying a donator status (yes, donators can change their display name as well).
  • Registering a new username (someone already did that).
  • Use your personal message to tell people that you guys rebranded to Veldt Gold.

I think your wish is already granted by theymos. Congrats Veldt Gold with your new name.

I am confused. Did you actually donate or did you have to do something else to get your username changed?

Theymos occasionally accepts old users display name change request but it's not guaranteed.

I'm guessing that theymos saw this thread and changed his name for him, because they would have a donator status if he donated.

Did they donate anything? They seem to be the kind of company that might have the money to be able to donate a good amount but probably not 50 btc

No, had they donated they would have a Donator/VIP tag. As said before, Theymos will on occasion change people's usernames for them just because they asked nicely. This would be the exception, not the rule though, it probably helps if a member has been active in the community for a long while and has a legitimate reason for changing their name, rather than just they are in the mood for a change.

If you are reading this thinking you are going to get a username change, don't get your hopes up. Angora is a couple year old account, has been an active business, with lower than normal customer complaints (I say that as I haven't heard any, and that is uncommon for any Bitcoin business) and posted this thread in probably the best possible way. Username changes are dealt with the way they are, because Theymos doesn't have the time nor the will to change people's usernames for everyone that asks.

He didn't need to donate as theymos was feeling generous.  :). He occasionally gives out name changes for free.

I was thinking they maybe donated something less then the 10 BTC required to get a donator tag, but still a 'good' amount (maybe 2-3 BTC) to the forum, sort of like a "hidden" donator status with different features then the current donator/vip features.

It is actually interesting because I have never actually heard of Angora before now (although the name does sound familiar, something similar to a name I heard when reading about various dark markets, although I doubt they are one and the same with what I am thinking about). I think it is actually kind of surprising that they have not had more scam accusations against them by scammers trying to effectively extort them out of money (just look at how many people try to do this to Prime Dice)
