Since when does blockchain.info link wallet adress to BTCTalk forum accounts?

Because that's crazy cool.

Aren't the "My privacy is holy" type people going to go apeshit insane over that?

I agree that it's "crazy cool". The privacy lords shouldn't be bothered by this, though: after all, it's only deriving information that was published in a public forum.

Wow, interesting!

They haven't picked up my firstbits yet though.  I wonder if they will....

That has never stopped one of those from going into full on sperg-mode before.

Nice feature, another one here 1PiRAtagLRozJkCtkHEbMgbWYeRNq6MPEV and it links to my OTC profile

I just noticed also that they now call the firstbits "Short Links".  Trying to disassociate with the original name?

It also has my address And it also managed to grab my signature I now noted.

same, but signatures arent really up 2 date.

Being on the internet is like being on international television, if you do or say something stupid you should expect people to notice.

How long does it take to scrape a new signature?

[J-Norm]

Neat trick. Only problem is that I can put any address in my profile that I want and make my  name show up as someones address.

So if I did not like someone I could create an account here called 'IEatRabbitPoo' and use their address in my sig. Now they are labelled IEatRabbitPoo on blockchain. Victory!
