As a result, you probably won’t get your first choice of Twitter handle. So the best thing to do is to have a few backups. The quickest way to check the availability of your handle ideas is to use BrandSnag’s Twitter Username Checker. This tool is the easiest way to figure out whether your Twitter handle is available. Search Username.
Step 2) Check for Availability. Click the “Check Availability” button after typing your desired username. The tool will promptly scan Twitter to determine if the username is unused and available for you to claim. This verification helps avoid potential conflicts and ensures your brand’s integrity.

This is a guide for beginners on Minecraft name sniping, written by yours truly, unslow.
A name sniper is a program written in a computer language which attempts to claim a name the instant it becomes freed up from the previous owner.
After a person changes their name, the API stores the exact time the user changed to a different username. For example:
The data is generally in unix time format. July 30th, 2021 @ 3:24:19 PM would be stored as 1627683859
The Mojang API has the exact time a person changes their name. NameMC then detects this change and automatically assumes the username will be available 37 days after the original name change. 30 days to account for the user's name change cooldown, then an additional 7 days for the owner to decide whether they want to reclaim the name or to discard it.
Most snipers locate the drop time for a name via scraping NameMC through droptime APIs.
A sniper, or sniping program, sends name change requests as soon as the name is available. These name change requests are the same as when you change your name on minecraft.net. The only difference is the bot does it much more precisely than a human can, sends 2 requests instead of one, and sends feedback (timestamps) of when the requests were sent...
Here are the advantages you gain from using an automated sniping program:
•Timestamps of when the requests were sent and then received by Mojang's servers.
•Ability to send more requests in a shorter time span than other methods
•Allows you to use more than 1 account per snipe
Snipers are created by Minecraft sniping community members with expertise in coding languages. They are constantly updating the snipers, so errors and other complications are decreasing over time. You can trust their works as the source code is made public, so you're aware of every bit of the machine you're using. In addition, the sniping community...
Snipers can be paid or free. The two recommended free snipers, MCSniperPY and Smart-Sniper, are wonderful snipers to begin with; a large supportive community, constant updates, and a consistent bot allowing you to perfect your delay. Once you're much more experienced at sniping, using a great amount of accounts with a paid sniper will allow you to snipe highly sought-after names.
Most proficient snipers use Minecraft giftcards (hereinafter referred to as GCs) to snipe. GCs have the capability of sending 6 name change requests instead of 2, which is the standard for any regular Mojang or Microsoft account. Because of this, 1 GC equates to 3 regular accounts. Experienced snipers using them require less accounts for a higher chance of beating others. Furthermore, giftcards have their own endpoint, so their name change requests are priotized over Mojang and Microsoft accounts.*
So how does the sniper work, from a user's perspective? Well, you put in the account credentials to the account(s) you want to use, it fetches the authorization token allowing it the permission to change your username. Then, you input the name you want to snipe, the delay (which will be covered later on) you want to use, and in some snipers, you ar...
There are a few factors in sniping: accounts in use, your delay / timing, and luck. Usually supplying more accounts and improving your timing will override your luck, meaning you have a much higher chance at being successful. Number of accounts is self explanatory. More accounts, more requests, higher probability.
Delay is a system where you enter how many milliseconds off the droptime you want it to start sending requests. For example, someone has 0 ping so the requests (with 0 delay) would normally send at xx:xx:xx.000000. If we were to work off the example above with JohnSmith, the name becomes available at 3:24:19 PM. Your sniper would normally send requests at that exact time, 3:24:19.0000. However, some names drop later than usual due to API lag and other factors. Because of this, you may miss the snipe for being too early if your delay is 0. Most snipers advise getting timestamps with xx.095 - xx.100 as they seem to have the greatest likelihood of success. So if your requests do not match, procedures can be taken to adjust it until it does.
Let me elaborate on what delay, also known as offset, really is. First I have to explain timestamps; the most fundamental mechanic of delay, as it's the guide for what changes you should make to your delay in order to perfect it.
Using the aforementioned example again, lets say your requests land at 3:24:19.230 and 3:24:19.300 As you want to have them land at 3:24:19.095 and 3:24:19.100, you will need to increase your delay here so the sniper shoots sooner. First let's disregard any numbers which aren't necessary for calculating the optimal delay change for this situation: (The two requests sent) .230 .300
You are ~130 milliseconds off the advised timestamp with the first request. The second request is ~200 milliseconds off. It may be best to change according to the second one, so your second request lands at .100 with the first sometime before that. Add 200 delay. If your delay before was (for example) 129, adjust it to 329 delay on your next snipe.
Snipe again with your new delay. After that, analyze the results. Were they closer to the recommended timestamps? How far, if not precisely on it? Make more changes until your timestamps are on target, or, until you notice you successfully sniping names at another timestamp.
Another way to make your timestamps more consistent is by using a time synchronization program. This sets your computer's clock as closest to .0000 that it can. If your time is always the same, then your delay and timestamps will be consistent for every snipe you use it.
Let me clarify what I mean here. In this example, let's say you use 300 delay: you got the timestamp .218 on the first snipe, and on the second you got .113. This is because your computer's clock isn't the same every time you sniped with that delay. If you use a time synchronization program such as Dimension 4, your timestamps with 300 delay will usually, if not always be the same. For this example in particular, you would get .113 nearly every time you use 300 delay. Do bare in mind that API lag may effect the results very slightly each time, so your timestamps may not always correspond with the delay used. Depending on the search count of a username, there is a higher chance more people are trying for it along with you. As more requests flood the API, it may take longer for the username to release. Basically, if you were to snipe a 0 search name with the same delay and with time synchronized, you will likely get the same results. On the other hand, ig you have a different delay or the name has lots of traction, your timestamps may not be related to whether your time was synced or not.
