Not limited by LLC, registering a company anywhere can ensure it to an extent
In Switzerland that would require you to deposit at least 25k or you can not use a fantasy name.
I wanted to create a fully digital individual. My goal was to go from end to end. I bought (in cash) a prepaid credit card. I used said prepaid credit card to sign up to the VPN, paying for 3 years - under the assumption the card is burned. With said VPN I created a paid for email account with a trusted service (not gmail or office). I used said email to sign up with a VOIP provider, to receive a telephone number that could receive SMSes.
Then, I signed up for a twitter, and a domain. Use the above to set up a corporation with nominee shareholders in the jurisdiction of your choice, same with bank account. Congratulations - you can now buy your certificate.
Now, using the funds of the corporation do everything above again - such that you're able to tie the corporation's CC to the outcomes.
There's a lot more - but this is a reasonable start.
This may be illegal where you live. At the very least, depending on how you use the above there are tax implications.
Yes, it is absolutely conceivable to be anon developer, except for officially publishing in the Apple/Google/MS walled gardens. Then if you would want to accept donations or payments, anonymity is only possible with cryptocurrencies and cash-by-mail. The easiest one (anonymity wise) is Monero and the most popular one is Bitcoin.
> anonymity is only possible with cryptocurrencies and cash-by-mail. The easiest one (anonymity wise) is Monero and the most popular one is Bitcoin. Can we just stop with the "Bitcoin is anonymous" bullshit here? Anybody here is smart enough to know better, so it just earmarks you as another fucking crypto-shill.
Care to point to Satoshi’s real identity since anonymity in Bitcoin is bullshit?

Bitcoin is anonymous in the sense that you don't necessarily need to link your wallet to your real name, it's just not the best choice for privacy since transaction details are public. Besides, mixing services exist.
> Besides, mixing services exist. And don't work. They were revealed to be useless way back when the Magic The Gathering Online Exchange crypto grifters pulled the first high profile scam, and they got hounded through all the "mixers" anyway. Chainalysis has been able to see straight through "crypto mixers" for almost a decade. (Yeah, there are probably way that right now you can't track bitcoin through other crypto…
So.. I'd suggest a project of mine. Full disclosure, you require more than one burner device. Ultimately you'll want a VPN you can trust. Also - it depends how much your anonymity is worth to you, and your relative cost. Similarly - to whom do you want to be anonymous? I wanted to create a fully digital individual.

As someone who grew up when they printed your address when your photo and name appeared in the paper, and when everyone had their name, telephone, and address in the telephone book -- this seems bizarre. Are you never planning to appear at a trade show and promote your product? Hiding who you are seems cowardly, or maybe you have nefarious motives with your program. Transparency and honesty are the best policies in b…
> Hiding who you are seems cowardly, or maybe you have nefarious motives with your program. Transparency and honesty are the best policies in business and personally. I don't understand your absolutist viewpoint here. Can you really not imagine a non-nefarious situation in which someone might not want to associate themself publicly with their work?
Let's say your side project is for a political party. Then, two years later, you apply for a job and the hiring manager is from a different political party, and has strong views on the matter. You don't get the interview.

Setting up a corporation in most jurisdictions would require a valid ID proof, no?
I'll caveat this by having only experience of this from my own European country of residence, which had to put this regulation in place due to EEA requirements.

If you prefer to use a pseudonym, why not just register an LLC? There are services out there that will register your company and be your registered agent in states that do not require your name ever made public (Wyoming for example). These services also provide a mailbox that would work for anything you need. You can then get a business checking account (Mercury works well) with your newly registered business. You ca…

Congress passed a bill with rider a that now makes the creation of anonymous LLCs difficult. https://thehill.com/policy/finance/467017-house-passes-bill-... https://maloney.house.gov/m…
