Is my Username Permitted?

[xSat0shi]

I am new to BitcoinTalk and when I registered, I was blocked and it had said I couldn't register a user, because apparently Satoshi was a reserved name.

My username is generic, x is unknown and "we are all Satoshi", hence xSatoshi, however being a filtered username, I could only use xSat0shi and as this is somewhat bypassing a filter, I am wondering if my username is permitted or if I should create a new user.

Thanks in advance

You are free to use any username you want, however, the name is kind of impersonation. xSatoshi = Ex Satoshi which means you are the former user Satoshi. I do not have a problem with your account name although. May be no one else will have too.
You can move it to meta section to get better response.

[jackg]

Yeah click the move button on the bottom left and move it to meta, the admins and mods are there who can decide if you need a name change or not...

Standard users won't be able to help on this because we don't know what the admins are after.

What exact error message did you get, AFAIK, there is no block on any username, except it has previously been used by someone else
it's likely someone tried to use that name already on the forum, hence you needed to find another variation of it. I can't however find such a hsernane on bpip, so you would get a better answer from the forum staffs, follow @jackg'a advice above.

Your current username is fine, but to avoid issues of impersonation, you could request a user to give you a neutral feedback on your profile, stating that you have no ties to the pseudonym satoshi, using this thread as a reference.

How do I contact a mod or admin?

Thanks, I didn't know I could move it nor did I really know the appropriate section.

Yes, that is what I don't want, I didn't even think to consider x->ex

I guess we'll see what people think, I don't know if bypassing the filter is against the rules either.

The exact error message was something along the lines of
"The username Satoshi is reserved."
Or very similar
How do I go about requesting that feedback?

How do I go about requesting that feedback?

You can ask these DT members in requesting neutral feedback that effectively appears in your profile as a warning to other members that you aren't impersonating the real satoshi account.

Just a few questions, there are a bunch of possible usernames that you can use but why you choose this username of Bitcoin creator?

But let's hear other opinions first.

You can find their names from this list:

List of the forum's admins/ global moderators/ staffs
<sup>- Click on their names > In "Additional Information" part, look for "Send this member a personal message" option.
- Take note: Due to your account status, you have a "limit in sending PM's".</sup>

How do I go about requesting that feedback?

I'll leave one shortly.

I think we should respect Satoshi by not modifying his name or using it.Its my personal opinion just.And I never try to modify the Legend name.

If Satoshi is alive and browsing this forum, he can be hurtful you know?.

Even though you are new to the BitCointalk Forum and it can also be said, for example you are a fan of @satoshi, but you register here, you should not use the name of the founder of this Bitcointalk Forum.

If, you use the account name @satoshi, afraid of being misused or can cause things that are not desirable, that is "maybe" you are prohibited from using an account called @satoshi.

Example: names that impersonate users in this Bitcointalk Forum, including the name @satoshi.

There are so many of the best names in the world that you can use, why should the name @satoshi, you can use a name other than @satoshi.

I'm not sure if your current account name is @ xSat0shi, safe or vice versa.
My advice, use another good account name, besides the name of the founder of this Forum, Better for you.

[hilariousandco]

It's probably ok. There are many other users here that have some variation of satoshi in their name. I'd be more worried about you being sued by Craig Wright  .

[mindrust]

I don't see a problem with it as long as you don't act stupid and claim to be the real satoshi

Eh.. Satoshi has millions of haters, billions of lovers, he won't care but forum might have some rules about it so I guess only mods and staffs can decide!

It was just the first thing that came to mind when creating API for Bitcoin, due to x being unknown and the common phrase "we are all Satoshi", I thought xSatoshi was good for a generic name.

So it's your opinion that out of respect for the creator, that I should change it?

Oh dear, I did not notice there was another similar account.
Is there a way I can change my username or would I have to re-register?

It's probably ok. There are many other users here that have some variation of satoshi in their name. I'd be more worried about you being sued by Craig Wright  .

This made me laugh so hard haha

I don't see a problem with it as long as you don't act stupid and claim to be the real satoshi

And I am always quick to correct those who call me Satoshi, I always write xSatoshi* followed by the explanation.
It's getting tiresome though haha

Unfortunately, it's looking like I might have to change it?

I guess the only thing I can/should do, is contact them directly and see what they think.
I wouldn't want to join the community, get settled, only to be banned for the name

Oh I didn't notice, I'm on a mobile device so I was focused on quoting and cutting and pasting my responses.

Alright awesome, thanks.

Good thing too as I have worked on a previous project under this name and so maybe some people may recognise me by it.
