Topic: Newbie! Protect your name, it is your brand (Read 691 times)
As soon as I learned about the Bitcointalk forum, I wanted to create an account. I had the name Bigdaddy in mind, but someone had already used it to create an account before me, and I liked it, so I added a H to create an account. There are a lot of people with unusual names on this forum, I mean Names do have a short-term impact, but when you consider a person's work, you reward or compensate him based on that effort, not on his name.
Truth be Hold, thy Holy Grail, thy way out of Trouble, Thy Road to Salvation.
all in all i say it certainly shed light for me on what i have been doing wrong across other Forums.

On a forum such as this, our usernames and our words is what we hold and its that unique to every individual. It's the first thing people see and it speaks of reputation through the forum. Reason why account trading is discouraged because, the reputation on the username which must have been hard built would is still there but not uphold.
Username don't speak loud, but your actions and activities will tell what truly you are.
On the contrary, the forum is not the real world is it? Hence, your activities is a reflection of what could be of that real world. As a newbie or beginner in general, you have a choice to choose a part that would speak well of your person in the real world as the forum is a direct extension of the world. 
that's right, never use a name that is too strange in this forum, because that is your identity,
don't fake your own identity, because this is a discussion forum, at least you should know each other,
to be clearer when interacting.

Username don't speak loud, but your actions and activities will tell what truly you are. In the real life i have seen people who bear names that are not good to be called, but their lifestyle is still better than what they answer. People bear good names but still not good. Name don't matter, what matters is the character one present to the forum.
Username can be a Symbol that can be better known by the majority of forum users if it can make a good contribution to the forum. who doesn't recognize JayJuanGee, DdmrDdmr, mprep, The Pharmacist, fillippone, Welsh, LoyceV and Rikafip, But I'm not belittling other names who have contributed to the Bitcointalk forum.
It is highly recommended for Newbies to use a user name that is familiar in real life, because the goal is to make it easier for other users to recognize you when you are outside the forum. A good name who has made a good contribution to the forum will have a positive impact on your social media accounts, such as Twitter, Telegram and You Tube. Other users who are fans of you will follow you because you are considered a good motivator for them.

I think we should put real name in this forum and we should make our brand by own research.
I saw this post of yours being shared on "wall of fame/shame" and I thought I share your post with you and how you contradict yourself. so I am curious, which really is it? do we share our real name as our "brand" as you suggested(which compromises our privacy) or do we protect our privacy from scammers by hiding our identity from them as much as possible?Re: Why beginners should pay attention to their privacy
Re: Newbie! Protect your name, it is your brand
We should pay attention to our privacy to protect our funds from scammers. We know that in crypto there are a lot of scammers to steal our funds with new tricks day by day.

Placing one’s real name on the forum’s profile, whilst not being evidence of the person being whom he says he is, is not a good idea in general terms. Having people being able to be linked to bitcoins (et all) by their real name is just calling for trouble, be it with their IRS, their government (in some countries), or any ruffian that seeks an opportunity to try to get some crypto off from a given person, be it through social engineering, or worse still, linking data here and there and paying that person a visit with a 5$ (6$ by now) wrench as a companion.

The most valuable aspect of your life in this forum is not judged by the username you answer or the position you occupy, the talent you possess, the influence or power you command in the forum, intellectual ability about crypto, or managerial skills, but by the kind of personality you display in the forum will tell and cover if your username sounds odd.
The username serves as easy identification. It is not used as an attestation for someone but rather it's the integrity of the person is what people look at before any other thing
When you say the integrity of the person. My question is which person? You don't know the person, so it is the username that represents the person. That is why the username is so important. Account like LoyceV has plenty of integrity, but if he hands over his accounts to me, all the integrity that is attached to his account is transferred to me. That is why I agree that it is important to protect your username because it is the username that represents you. No wonder it cannot be easily changed. The username serves as easy identification. It is not used as an attestation for someone but rather it's the integrity of the person is what people look at before any other thing
Reputation, or a good name, is very hard to earn, it can take many years to achieve. Reputation is hard to earn and very easy to lose. Hence some did live up to their names, some didn't.
Yes that is true but not at that, that good name is hard to earn, as for me it is easy but not easier. Because one's character also portray a good reputation for the person. It you obey the rules and follow all the norms in the Society, platform and Society then people within your house will protect your dignity, reputation before even before yourself. One Personal respect is the major things before others. How does he do things when dealing with others means a lot to his or her reputation life. That is why most campaign managers enter the net bad name because of the way they deal with people from the campaigns.
Good name build an individual life, village, Society, and community in the sense that, is this person from this family? Village? Society or community? Just like a Novel. "Ebiakpo the Orphan Boy". Because of Ebiakpo good character the whole community was blessed. So if one has good name, he or she blesses many within. Good name always start from the childhood like from 4 years plus. That is newbies in the forum should behave well to have good name

I guess having a nice username is nice, but it's importance is probably a bit too overblown. I mean, a reputable developer(Bitcoin Core, BTCPay, and Strike) has a username called "rockstardev". If you have a good reputation and if you work hard, what your username is — is pretty much unnecessary (unless you picked something like Hitler45 or something).
What matters most is how you leave impact to the other forum members because you are good enough and you can be a trusted quality poster. If that what is seen on you, no matter how stupid your username sounded, you will always leave a good image and that people will always look up to you as someone who’s name is highly reputable.Basically, it is your identity. That's who you are and what you post and what you show in the forum is how you will be seen and be interpreted.
So if you are a shit poster, then you are a shit poster.
If you are a great poster and merit magnet, then you are a quality member and contributor. That is awesome.
This does not goes only for newbies but for everyone in the forum. Our usernames are the sole reflection of what we are in the forum and what we can be by then. So as much as possible, never ruins your own name through posting unnecessary topics because that will not make you reputable in the future. Do what is best and what is right, so you can always be an asset and can be very functional in the forum. So if you are a shit poster, then you are a shit poster.
If you are a great poster and merit magnet, then you are a quality member and contributor. That is awesome.
Thank you OP, the message was clear and insightful. The benefits attached to a good name is enormous and it pays in the long run to stand out for integrity and excellence. I never gave a careful thought before choosing my username, but I believe its still on track. Thank you once again.
Their is nothing bad using your real name as your bitcointalk username. We should know that our names brings luck to what we do, but went ahead to choose a name that they don't know the meaning and tomorrow they will start having a bad luck, bitcointalk forum many users don't know the full meaning of what they choosing as a name ànd they only choose to be opportuned to register for bitcointalk firum but it's not right. That is why some remain adamant with growing because the luck of the name they have chosen 
I agree that we are better to choose a username that has a good meaning. A good username can trigger people to think positively, while a bad username probably makes people think negatively.
However, a username doesn't always reflect how the owner of that account is. They choose a username with different purposes. Some members may choose a username as a reflection of their nature, quality, or integrity. But others probably don't care about the meaning of their account username, they choose it randomly since they think it is not really important. While a few members choose a strange, unique, unusual, or controversial username. They expect to get people's attention instantly.
In conclusion, don't judge newbies whether they are good or bad based on their username only. Check what they have done on our forum through their post history, it is the right way to determine the quality/integrity/characteristics of a member.

each member may have a reason why they are using the current username and there may be some history of the username being used.
However, about the username that I used at the beginning of the account creation, it only refers to my first name and is combined with some numbers so that the username is available ( taufik123 ). and almost all crypto accounts that I created use that username.
Actually free to use any username, because the most important thing is how well we contribute to the forum so as to build a positive view on the username used and widely known by forum members.
Some of the current top member usernames look unique and not the same as other members.
like the current list of most merit owners
never found the same username before, it was completely original and became their permanent identity.

Yea, you can literally have a username like 0xbj23s and it wouldn't really matter. Also thanks to the merit system, people can easily see how sort of helpful you are without needing to dig through your past posts.

A nice username isn’t good enough, you have to make more of it and build your own positive identity through posting quality and meaningful posts that can be of so much help to the rest of the forum members. Once you do that, you are safe from negative criticisms, because they will always see you as more of an asset in the forum than just being a plain member that has done nothing good enough for others.
A username is just a username and nothing is new about it unless if that name make a change just like how Satoshi made Bitcoin and contribute to this forum and all other developers. Once you make a name it won't matter as long as you contribute and share your ideas or help this forum and other members to learn what they wanna learn.
You will be noticed once you with the members problem/question just like how the guy wrote hold to "HODL" or the 10,000 BTC pizza. That's just an example of some members who got noticed while others got noticed by doing the bad way such as scamming, trolling, shit posting and many more.
