Should you use a pseudonym or your real name?
Reputation is the hardest proof of work humans can do and it does not require a real name. By using a real name, you put all your past behind an account - for better or worse. That gives you a great starting advantage but is not the only way to proof work. Starting a pseudonym, especially if you plan to not reveal to anybody its real-life identity is hard work and you start from zero but can be rewarding if you ever willingly or not poke a hornets nest.
