@edscoble The only names that are safe are those belonging to investors and those who donated during the initial run.
We have discussed creating a "verified" account that would increase trust with classifieds. In effect, make a payment and we use the identity of the payment (PayPal, your debit card, whatever) as a basis of us saying "This person is known to us".
We could then allow verified accounts to have the same perks as investors, but on a site level. i.e. if you had a verified account you could assert that "edscoble" was you... and it would protect your name from being used by anyone else.
Verification would expire... details don't remain valid, what if someone took over your account, etc. But in effect it would be a set of perks that could be purchased so that those trading or talking to you knew that it was definitely you they were dealing with.

I understand that the old name is up for grab the moment you changed it?
I want to change mine, but worried someone else will take the old name after I change it.
