<ZmnSCPxj coughs quietly in GMT+8 timezone>
On the other hand, one can argue that "ZmnSCPxj" at this point is a bonafid=
e name (that happens to once have been simply a random sequence of letters)=
rather than an anonymous cover.
As to box-ticking: the simple fact of the matter is that smart humans will =
arise everywhere.
It is to the interest of Bitcoin users that more of thhem contribute to the=
success of Bitcoin.
The alternative by default is that smart people who became smart because th=
ey happened to start out with the disadvantage of having to fight tooth and=
claw in a bad environment will be quite willing to do anything, including =
attack Bitcoin, just to get out of such a situation.
Regards,
ZmnSCPxj
