Neat trick. Only problem is that I can put any address in my profile that I want and make my  name show up as someones address.

So if I did not like someone I could create an account here called 'IEatRabbitPoo' and use their address in my sig. Now they are labelled IEatRabbitPoo on blockchain. Victory!

Being on the internet is like being on international television, if you do or say something stupid you should expect people to notice.

I just noticed also that they now call the firstbits "Short Links".  Trying to disassociate with the original name?

The privacy lords shouldn't be bothered by this, though: after all, it's only deriving information that was published in a public forum.

That has never stopped one of those from going into full on sperg-mode before.  Cheesy

Wow, interesting!

They haven't picked up my firstbits yet though.  I wonder if they will....

Because that's crazy cool.

Check this out: http://blockchain.info/address/1HNLqLrPEwMk8woA91qwX9sRkatRfQik2T

Aren't the "My privacy is holy" type people going to go apeshit insane over that?

I agree that it's "crazy cool". Smiley The privacy lords shouldn't be bothered by this, though: after all, it's only deriving information that was published in a public forum.
