Is your identity information public?

Hi @ned, with the current stuff happening with cheetah bot I am not so sure it is a good idea to make it completely public. However, several of the witnesses know my real identity and I am perfectly comfortable sharing it with you folks.

@ned, I don't think witnesses should necessarily be publicly identified. Knowing who are witnesses makes it much easier to apply coercion. Having a mixed bag of known and anonymous witnesses should be safer so long as anonymous witnesses are doing a good enough job of adding value to the network to rule out malicious intent.

Awesome idea.
