As far as real name, several people already know it (including anonymint), but at this point I don't think it's necessary to make it public. I don't plan on being another satoshi though. There is nothing dishonest about my design that would cause me to need to hide my identity.
As far as qualifications, I've been programming since I was about 12, but only as a hobbyist. After learning about bitcoin I went on a two year study of economics, cryptography, network protocols, byzantine fault tolerance, and so on while discussing and refining the various proposals that have eventually led to this one, the 6th, which I think is as close to perfect as an imperfect system can get. So, no qualifications really. Just a vision with the ability to come up with the design implementation whenever I need to dig further.
Have you written a white paper, or is the OP the closest thing you have?
I like the idea of innovative currencies, I will be including Decrits in my list of new innovative currencies and (attempting) to explain a little bit about it.
Keep up the good work, the future of crypto currencies depends on people like you.

No white paper... there are many things that have been addressed in various ways that I see as weaknesses in bitcoin or money in general. I'd rather just implement it. Thanks for the support, though.
