So you're saying it's more beneficial to devs to be known rather than anon. Seems like the majority of your reasoning is compensation based
Well without compensation you have to either already be rich, get a fiat job - given you less time to work on Bitcoin - or live very cheaply. Those are all legitimate options, but they come with trade-offs.
As does being known. I just wanted to get to that point. The trade offs. So it comes down to what the individual wants. No single playbook, if you will, will apply to everyone.
