There two non-anon Monero core team members, five anon.

Is fluffypony non-anon since he appears to be the most prolific dev in terms of the code?

Yes, his full name is on the web site. I'm not sure who is the most prolific, the stats can be misleading in some ways, but I'm sure he's put a lot of time, effort, and money into the project, without question.

If yes, where can I find all his public identity information, videos, photos, address, etc?

I don't know about his address, although he does have businesses whose addresses may be published (again I'm not sure), but his photos, videos, full name, location (at least country, not sure whether more than that), etc. have all definitely been posted. I think maybe pictures of his wife too, but I'm not sure about that. Same with David Latapie (except the wife).

David doesn't count as far as I am concerned.

Okay so Monero has an advantage and I urge that poster to invest in Cryptonote such a Monero because it is non-anon. Please do it Wink

And then he will be presented with something superior with an anon dev, and he will refuse to invest. And that will be the perfect lesson for him.

Anonymity or not does seem to correlate with performance.

There are many, many examples of non-anon who have defrauded the community.

I don't know whether it correlates or not, and I doubt you do, but individual cherry picked examples do not demonstrate correlation or lack thereof.

I don't think non-examples replaced with subjective opinions demonstrate correlation or lack thereof.

Look we are not so dumb here.

We all know it is very easy to identify which projects will be successful. It has nothing to do with anonymity, although sometimes anonymity will be correlated with the signs of failure, e.g. john-conner is anonymous on VanillaCoin and he has been caught doing half-assed white papers, stealing Bitcoin code while representing it as his own original work, etc..

The easy way to identify successful projects is the quality of the technology. Even Ethereum's technology sucked that is why it was easy to see they would fail. The concept was flawed (to have every peer replicate the CPU cost of the runtimes).

I am trying to explain to this hard-headed simpleton that those coins he is so enamored with, they don't have any competitive advantage.

Copycoins are a dime a dozen.

Success will be handed to those coins with a unique technological innovation that fills a large market need. Market needs for cryptocoins have to do with virtual worlds and virtual commerce, not with retail commerce.

You can even see the female in the Digibyte promo video trying to pay for retail clothing item and she can't even figure out how to do it with her smartphone. It is cumbersome, slow, and silly. People will simply pay with cash or atm swipe card. In Hong Kong they already have the Octopus swipe card accepted every where even the McDonalds.

The big frontier is virtual commerce. There is so much virtual commerce that is locked up because we don't have permissionless microtransations.

I am about to present the solution to this. And it will be big time innovation.

So go on with this time wasting crap here, I am out of here now. Wasting time here on nonsense.
