There are probably two main reasons people buy other accounts - signature campaigns or scamming.
I assume signature campaigns are far more prevalent. Your status is much more important than the age of the account. A newbie member from 2010 won't be anywhere near as lucrative as a hero from 2013 if people want to earn.
I'll guess scammers are looking for accounts with trust and a good rep. Again, the year is less important than the trust, but people would be more interested in older accounts as some might be more inclined to fall for their charms.
Topic: What is my name here worth? (Read 461 times)
Didn't know where to post this so I thought this section might be good.
I do not want to sell my name or account but was just curious.
Ok so I have seen posts here where people actually sell bitcoin talk accounts, not sure that should be allowed but whatever.
So I was wondering what my account would be worth here and what factors into their value?
Does the date registered matter much? Amount of posts I guess would be important? What else?
Also is there any way to prove that like this is my account since 2011 and like I didn't buy it from someone?
Thanks
