Hello

What is your opinion on this subject ?
Do you think that every dev should provide all of his personal infos, such as driving license, payment bills, etc. ?

Because if you look at bitcoin case, we don't know who is Satoshi Nakamoto... Also a lot of other serious coins which are in the top 10 of the biggest capitalizations have been developed by anonymous dev's...

Bitcoin is crumbling right now because of Satoshi's madness. I think developer identity is paramount.

If Satoshi had zero Bitcoins then would people really care?  BTC has been open sources for ages, hashes match and anyone been able to comb through it and find out whether it had backdoors or not.

I think the problem here is Satoshi is alleged to have mined up to a million bitcoins.   Use whatever word you want from skepticism, to envy or jealously but the man on the street isn't going to buy something where 5%-10% of the total supply rests in the hands of some totally anonymous dude.  Actually that very same reason is why most alternates are screwed in the long run too.

That's a problem of distribution and has nothing to do with anonimity.
