I was wondering if it was possible to change my username. I started this account a while back before I got really into Crypto. Now I have another name I go by in the Crypto world and would like to change my username if possible. I would rather not start a new account as then I would have to start over with my ratings.
Thanks in advance.

If you see garbage posts (off-topic, trolling, spam, no point, etc.), use the "report to moderator" links. All reports are investigated, though you will rarely be contacted about your reports.

I'm not terribly happy with my handle, either  |
Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

Create a new account maybe? You didn't get too far with that one.  |

They don't make it easy. If it was easy scamers would be changing names a lot. It is a little bit of a pain if you think of some great name later, but overall the system is better to not allow changing. (In my opinion)
I suggest with low activity starting over. Nothing against that.

no it is not possible
since you have a newbie account, you can leave this account and create a new one with your favourite name

 Here is my new account. I was pretty certain that I couldn't change it; however, I wanted to check before creating a new one. Thanks for all the input though everyone. I will be using this account for now on.

theymos or BadBear have changed them a couple of times in the past but it's rare, but it looks like you wont be able to change it to the name you wanted anyway since you've now taken it already . Looks like you'll miss out on a lot of activity points if you abandon the other one. |

Was that changed? It used to be 10 BTC donators that could change names. I was thinking of changing mine too. |
Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

You have to be a VIP member and that's paying 50 BTC
or since you are "Newbie" Rank then just make new account. with the new name that you want

EDIT:
Here is the donation page but it mentions only the ability to create a custom title for VIPs.
https://bitcointalk.org/donate.htmlEDIT 2: Whoops... I thought you were asking if the amount for donations was changed from 10 to 50 BTC, sorry! Note to myself: always double-check when an older member seems to ask simple questions...  |

It is unlikely theymos will change username for newer members, and it would be much easier for you to make a new account with your preferred name.

As if you can't choose your desired name whilst creating the account? I'm pretty damn sure you can Also, they should not allow name changing for anyone, it could be attracting scams. |

Think that's one of the reasons why they don't do it, though the feedback won't go away even if they did. |

There are several ways for you to change your username. One is to pay 50 btc to become a VIP. Another one is to put a lot of effort in reporting posts to become a staff.  Global moderators can change their own name and title.
Staff (moderators, patrollers) can change their own name, but not title.
Theymos could change your username for you but he seldom does it. |

For a very good reason else scammers would change the name each time over and over better like this and the forums is a bit more safe! |

As everyone said that it is very difficult to change the username here but in the beta forum ( and then to the future updated forum ) there is a feature to change the username of accounts. Also the account is not linked to a distinct profile url as it is currently here at smf. (useful to spammers bad for forum)

I think user name change should be allowed for a fee.But the user profile should mention the old user name and username change date ,so that user name change for illegitimate reasons can be discouraged
