Fully pseudonymous software development teams are against my personal religion.
As long as I bind myself to it, yes.
Where everyone involved is a real nym.

i think when the purpose of the project is to destroy central banks probably it's not a bad thing to have the main guy unable to be traced but that kind of stuff is a once in a century sorta breakthrough, and we aren't even half way into the first century of personal computers, it's unlikely anything we do is going to have that size of an impact, and we all are kinda grateful that risk was taken, because it lends an aura of mystique and power that intimidates the enemy and boosts everyone who is working with it in that this system cannot be shut down, and we are just here to break smaller boundaries enforced by the monopolies ones that are not so well protected, that have had a great deal of lipservice given to them for the purpose of exploiting some part of that (eg open source software means a lot of free testing and debugging but that doesn't change the fact that intellectual property is a racket)
Almost all of the people on the Bitcoin project have not been anonymous.
it has been a bit difficult for some of them though but it's well past too late for them to do anything that is gonna really stop things... like Saylor and others say - bitcoin doesn't really need new features... it needed better signatures for lightning that is the one exception i would name, everything else has been bullshit and unnecessary the main attack vector for bitcoin is weakening the security with a very clever new feature, the people are not important except for the one that started it, who they can't have
I am aware that it has been difficult. Their willingness to suffer for it makes it more valuable. It's a testament.
and there is some risk of us getting problems too because we are building stuff that may be very helpful to maintaining documents that people don't want to be found again
A software project that isn't dangerous to someone or something powerful is just another app.

Yes, let the vibers build the apps. Keep everything edgy for ourselves.
Too many anon projects contribute to the idea that we're shadowy supercoders. Wicked, dangerous, monster hackers who operate in secret, in the dark. Those are low-trust figures.
Of course.
