Why should I think that being anonymous should give some advantage ? I think it would be more of a disadvantage due to should I trust you? Also, how do I know these people are truly anonymous ?

- daveguy 10y agoAnonymous in the sense that numerai does not ask for any personally identifying information. You could easily prove you are who you say you are in numerai. Also, I think the big benefit from a data scientist working on this is you can test methods with generic features, submit the results and get paid if they are good, but not submit any part of the methodology to any third party. If you can kill it on numerai then maybe you would consider buying data sources and apply your methods to your own data. Although you still don't know what the features are. It's the polar opposite of open source. The owners don't have to trust the data scientists. They evaluate their results against additional data.

- dharma1 10y agoThat's what I thought - if you are smashing it on numerai, wouldn't you be better off raising some capital for your own fund to scale it?
