'They don't know my real name,' says Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp about his neighbors.
‘They Don’t Know My Real Name’
“They don’t know my real name,” said Lopp. “They don’t know what I do. They just know that I’m a programmer. I’m a boring old programmer.” “It’s kind of like living a double life almost,” said Lopp. “Sometimes that feels kind of like James Bond spy-type stuff, and other times it’s just plain annoying.”In terms of specific annoyances related to his search for privacy, Lopp pointed to the fact that he has to drive pretty far away to pick up his mail at a private mailbox or sign up for any kind of membership that requires personal identification.
“Most of the time when I’m out and about [now], I keep it pretty low key and I just look like another guy,” said Lopp.
