Title: unregistered account names
Post by: bitcoinerS on July 23, 2014, 09:20:55 pm

Seems one can't create an unregistered (local) account name that is already registered on the blockchain. This sucks. We should be able to use any names for local unregistered accounts.

This was done for security reasons to prevent accidents.   The ability to "relabel" accounts will come in a future version.
