RE: The Reports from the Witnesses 2018-02-04

hi @timcliff, sorry to try to contact you here, but i'm very confused. i read your article on using steemconnect to set up a new account. all went well, i triple checked the account name and when it went through, it had cut off the last two letters. i was very surprised and disappointed to now have an account i don't want floating around. seeking not to give up, i tried it again, triple checking the name. all was well, just like the first time. after i pressed enter, it said it did not work and that i must check the console. I am thinking it cut the last two letters off and wouldn't let me go through as of course the messed up name was already taken. have you heard of this happening in the past? i would like to make the name this way, but don't understand why it cuts off the last two letters... any help greatly appreciated!! thank you.

That makes sense. The blockchain has a restriction on account name size. There should be a validation error on the SteemConnect page though.. If you contact the Busy team, they will probably fix it fairly quickly.

Thank you! Should I contact the busy team on their @busy.org?

Thanks again for responding @timcliff!

And also the name I wanted was only 10 letters.
