Great question it is nice to have a clue who the people are behind the coin...  It's good to know who is behind the coin that someone chooses to invest in.  Especially if they aren't that savvy at reading code.  this is just my imo but I doubt I'm alone.

BCX already mentioned ArtForz, so I'll throw in DeathAndTaxes, although I'm not sure if he messes with alts.

lol @ the people listing kimoto as if he's in the same league as some of the other names in this thread.

You can really tell who joined this scene in 2013.

Greg Maxwell, who is levels above and beyond any altcoin developer in terms of ideas.  He's too busy doing core implementations to mess around with coding forks extensively, though.

BitcoinEXpress - showed a hilarious time travel exploit on geistgeld, forked many coins, ultimately proving that cryptocurrencies with low hashrates have tons of vulnerabilities and are not as trustworthy as bitcoin which is protected by its army of ASICs

dr.kimoto chan - megacoin (kimoto gravity well inventor)

A glorified piece of code that in the end, does very little other than modify the difficulty ever so slightly. not saying it isn't an innovation, but you can't put chan in the same sentence as sunny king. dude's a fucking scientist for crying out loud, when people read peercoin code its almost like reading an alien dialog.

he's a liar too. whoever gave him OP's in OTC is a moron.

+1 for the creator of Darksend technology and DGW (fixes KGW vulnerabilities).
Darksend is based off of gmaxwell's CoinJoin idea and the DarkGravityWave is just as vulnerable as the KimotoGravityWell.  The source is available for comparison.

Apart from the previously mentioned ArtForz, Sunny King, etc.  I think Balthazar, the Novacoin developer, deserves a place on that list.  Hate or love Novacoin, he knows what he is doing.

Don't forget SolidCoin!

DGW and KGW are nothing special, so i agree there. just little pieces of code that are flawed and need more work. +1 for Balthazar as well. I can only imagine the time he put into fixing the problems with stake calculation(and the blocks to go back patch i think he made as well)

we are only as strong as our network, so it is important to know the top people (and be respected by them)
