## Getting Rid Of The Awful Username
<br>
10 days ago, I wrote the post '**[How My Very First SteemIt Move Was So Wrong & Will Affect My Entire SteemIt Career](https://steemit.com/busy/@mike314-0005/how-my-very-first-steemit-move-was-so-wrong-and-will-affect-my-entire-steemit-career)**.

In this post, I explained that choosing this username was a huge mistake for so many different reasons. But changing your username on Steemit means setting up a new account, which has quite some consequences.

Today I realized that if I ever wanted to do it, I should act now, before this account grows bigger. I currently have a reputation score of 50, 'only' 500 followers and quite a good amount of Steem Power, so if there will ever be a time to do it, that time is now!

## Which Way To Go?
<br>
Creating the new account is easy. I simply go to [Blocktrades](https://blocktrades.us/create-steem-account) and select 'Create a new SteemIt account', which will cost me 6 Steem.

But then it gets tricky...

I worked hard to get where I am now, and I guess I don't need to explain I want to lose as little as possible.

In the comments section of the post I mentioned above, @robin1991 gave me some suggestions. The problem is that I don't know which way would help me to get back on my feet the fastest...

* I send all my SBD en Steem to my new account, power down my SP and send it to the new account in 13 installments

* I send all my SBD en Steem to my new account and delegate all my SP to the new account.

I could be completely wrong, but I think the first option will make it take longer to get back on my feet again (13 weeks, I guess), but then my account will be fully powered up again.

While the second option will probably get up the numbers faster, but I'm not sure how limited my new account will be having only delegated SP...

#### I'm really in the dark here and I  could really use some good advice on this!
