Do you know how he managed to do that? (I assume it wasn’t through a BTC donation). I figure it’s an exceptional petition that was granted. I believe a saw a similar case of change of name at some point over the last couple of months, but I did not give it much though. Just moderately surprised to see it happen.
The earlier case was
iwantapony to muratI sent a pm to to mk4 (formerly mjglqw) to inquire. His request was granted by Theymos w/o the btc donation. I'll send him another pm to reply here.
Aight. One of the main reasons I changed usernames is to somewhat prevent confusion with my previous username, as m
jglqw could easily be used on this site and other sites with m
iglqw, you get the point. Just to be really extra sure to prevent issues. That's just one of the reasons though.
With that said, if you're decently reputable here on Bitcointalk(or just not a fairly new account that just spams) and
if you really have a valid reason/excuse of getting your username changed, there's a good chance that Theymos
might consider. That's what I think at least.
Or maybe Theymos was just in the mood. Idunno. 🤷
