Double names on Steemit ?! No ! :) - A response to some 0.3 BTC lost.
Sooo.. have been kinda' inactive on Steem for a while...
I was watching @crypt0's Vlog and he mentioned Steemit , so I decided to check on my account and upvote him.
After checking my wallet and noticing a weird transaction , I received 379.954 SBD , I was like " Oh great - How did that happen ?"
It turns out someone else managed to make a Steemit account with the same display name as my account name.
The user with display name Cryptoninja and owner of Steem account @crpytoninja.
I can understand how this might get confusing and I want to let anyone reading this post know ( if you don't already do ) that the display name and the account name are two very different things. You need to send coins to your Steem account , NOT your Steem account display name.
Sure I would have made the same mistake one day , @crpytoninja probably saved me some coins.

Hopefully you will recover it. It may interest you reading about offgrid power sources, I am now at my 8th post daily. Thanks for the upvote.
So I am new my name is @isteemithard so if someone sent it to isteemithard would I get it and if not what name would they send it to for me? @cryptoninja
Hello 'I Steemit Hard' !
This is your display name , it shows in the middle of your account page next to your reputation points ( currently 43 ).
If you want to send SBD to your account you need to send it to account @isteemithard <- this is your Steem account.
You can always find your account name in the top left corner of your account page.
N-joy Steem !
Wow, respect for what you did ;)
Appreciate !
