can we change the username on steemit
hey guys, as you see I've choose a random name for my steemit channel, now i want to change it but have no idea how or if its possible, i would really appreciate the help if someone knows any info, thank you guys
I don't think you can, it is locked in. However, you can just create a new account within a few minutes and re-post your posts under the new name. You can also transfer steem between accounts easily. I am not sure what happens to the old account, I think it just sits there forever. Hope this helps!
oh man thats a bummer :( i will definitely try to open a new account its just that it take few days and i had already transferred so steem dollars, but i appreciate it man if you have any updates keep me in the loop
There are some other options to creating a new account below, probably faster. I pulled this from https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_are_other_ways_to_create_an_account_on_the_blockchain_besides_using_Steemit_com
What are other ways to create an account on the blockchain besides using Steemit.com?
If you are willing to pay your own signup fee, then there are other ways to create a new account on the blockchain.
There is a third-party tool called SteemCreate that accepts credit cards, or BTC to create a Steem account. You do not need to have an existing Steem blockchain account to use the service, but there is a charge on top of the blockchain account creation fee for using the service.
There is a third-party tool called AnonSteem that accepts bitcoin, Litecoin, STEEM, or SBD to anonymously create a Steem account. You do not need to have an existing Steem blockchain account to use the service, but there is a charge on top of the blockchain account creation fee for using the service.
There is also a third-party tool called SteemConnect that allows you to create accounts by paying or delegating the account creation fee. There is no additional fee to use the service, but does require an existing Steem blockchain account to pay the account creation fee to create the account.
oh wow, that seems complicated lol, il just open a new account and transfer my funds to my new account, its doable right? i really appreciate you taking the time to look for it, i tried everywhere and there was no information anywhere not even to contact steem team, thank again man
You are welcome, yeah I would just create a new account the regular way. :)
Hi, I think I have same experience that you have been thru. I hope [my posting about experience of making new username] could give you some help and hope!
