Title: Change Username
Post by: shamzblueworld on November 24, 2017, 04:28:03 AM
Is it possible to change usernames here at bitcointalk?
Can we request it to the admins or staff?

If I remember correctly it's possible only for Donators and/or VIP members other than that, no.

A: You can either donate 50 BTC to become a VIP or PM theymos asking to change your username (although he rarely accepts such requests nowadays)

You can certainly request it but it is rarely ever granted. Only theymos and Cyrus can change your name so make your case to them but I wouldn't hold your breath. If it's just a minor name change you may have more luck though (from past request experiences).

I don't think so. There must ba a way but it is not as fast as changing your password. Usernames are hard to change mainly because it is unique.

Maybe if you request and request it with a good reason you can be granted. But as what as others said in this reply, it rarely happens. No harm in trying though. Good luck and may I request you update this thread if ever you were approved or not.
