Thanks for you input. I am still not sure, though.
Yes, I don't do anything illegal. At least to my knowledge.
But like I said this is a one way decision. Once I revealed my information, it is hard or impossible to take it back. So if I realize afterwards that it was a bad idea, for whatever reason, I can't do anything about it.
Or what if my future employer doesn't like what he finds?

@王子様Xero: I've read your story on HS and it was really amusing, but that actually makes me feel more unsafe. Not everyone might use the information to play a nice prank only.

I'd like to read this story being spoken of.
Someone care to Inbox me the corresponding link accordingly?

Meanwhile, if you're in doubt as to what you should do Deque, then proceed no further until you're sure one way or the other.
Logic dictates being unsure of a decision is a decision that should not be made.
You're currently using Deque on Github.
Then leave it as such as only you can prove it belongs to you regardless of whether you use Deque or your real name.
Regarding future employment; not using your real name requires you to point your way to Deque instead, thereby still having to identify yourself in reference to "future employment".
As such, any employer foolish enough to raise questions obviously would do so out of ignorance and more than likely would not be someone deserving of your expertise.

The bottom line is this: If it currently is not a problem, then it should not be needlessly made to be a problem.
Reference the "keep it simple" principle and "fix not that which is not in need of repair".

Hey Linux. I don't use Deque on github, because it is already taken (btw. that Deque has not a single repository, which is sad, as this account is not used, but blocks me from taking the name). My github and bitbucket account have my real name instead and I used it for some projects for university. People that know me from university will find my projects there. Same did my husband who is a developer too.

The only question is if I should make a second account that relates to every project I publish here. But that would mean that I have to seperate both strictly. Everything that's been published as Deque I can't publish on my real name and vice versa. I can't post stuff here, that I published with my real name.
That is kind of a problem for me.

Yes, I still have to think about this.

Well, using 2 separate Github accounts wouldn't necessarily be as hard as you might think, even to maintain using 2 differing names.
Linux Torvalds uses several Github accounts for various differing projects for differing entities.
Be that as it may, keep it simple and do what works best for you.

Why bother hiding your name when you haven't done anything wrong ?
Cyberspace is a dangerous place so you should consider taking precautionary measures including hiding your real name and using a fake alias

Well, I think this is kind of incoherent, as you first say "Why hiding your name?" and then "You better hide your name".

Though...

Why bother hiding your name when you haven't done anything wrong ?

I've done nothing wrong, but not nothing illegal. I'm for peace and utopian anarchy, freedom and art. Now, this all looks pretty illegal when put in practice all together. I take surely care about my personal info, whenever I need to do something requiring an email address, I usually pick up a new one at hotmail.com or gmail.com and register it under VPN (although, Hotmail's got powerful back-tracing systems). Then I never use it anymore.

Name's are lame, but nicknames are cool :epic:

That's surely one point why many choose a username. I think I myself should throw up my own name, not who was before I could choose it myself.

In most of the hacking forums or programming forums and even dating sites, people hide their name and its true. In hacking forums they do so as their IP's are logged so they also use proxy and they don't want to reveal their identity as a matter of security. To be true not everyone can be a hacker. An individual must posses some brains to be a hacker and stay anonymous. Again, If hacking is being related then the question about being an ethical hacker or an unethical hacker surely arises. So, they try to use an unique names so they cannot be traced easily just by searching. Most of them have fake Social networking profiles and have limited friends and the their best characteristics is that they never trust anyone.

Another reason for using nicknames is because of Google's PageRank algorithm. You just need to type the name and google does the job for you and finds a lot users with that name, then with a bit ingenuity one can very easily get someone's identity. Believe me I have done this to a guy. I had to do this because I had my personal reasons and a bit of grudge on him, and today I have almost his complete profile like what school he attended, from where he did his bachelor's or masters , what projects he has done , what's his address , where he lives , how many social networking sites he is attached with and I even know his Addictions (Means Smoking or Drugs etc.)

As for you @Deque you are very very clever to name yourself as Deque (Double-Ended Queue) and if one types your name on google he will a million links on Data Structures - Double ended Queue (Tutorials , video , codes etc. etc.), but still I believe it can be found with a lot of hard work and a lot of intelligence (which I don't possess)

Type the following in Google

Code:

inurl:/User-Deque

Here's a direct link :-
https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3A...e&ie=UTF-8

You will get about 127 results and out which we see one Deque as an HC user. If someone suspects then they will suspect the programmers heaven's link.

As for my name Psycho_Coder (Primarily this name I will change my name again to this, someday's back on 6th may I had a very big fight with a very very close friend of mine and that friend is "SHE" and not "HE" so I changed my name to Feurex and now feeling I am a big FOOL). I have told already on a thread in a reply on HC how I got this nickname. I love coding so coder and Psycho because "Being normal is BORING" , you should have some uniqueness and a signature of your own.

Well, if someone IS looking for Deque the hacker, supposely they'll know something about her - or they wouldn't be even seeking (yes, I know supposely is not a word). You might look for "Deque hack java" on Google and find dozens of websites where Deque is registered. @Deque, I'd suggest you change your Github account info. Of course, it's up to you, and maybe it's no matter to you, but there is your name and from this forum people can find enough about you to find your personal accounts and recognize whether they're yours or not.

For what you're saying about "I might want to regret what I've said", you're right, I might in 2 years want to change completely identity. How could I achieve to do so? I make a new email account and pick up a new rand($name). Let's pretend my old account is fixed to my real life. I could move to a different country, change name, face, life, friends, credentials, past but I still wouldn't be sure to be free from what I've previously done.

If you think you want to go under your own name, I'm saying: go for it, but be careful, it's true that you can't take your privacy back. Privacy is dead, for what I know. My privacy does not even exist today. Maybe I can try keeping safe the privacy for "noize" as, as long as it's not proven (and then my privacy is safe - back again), it's not me. You might want to release stuff under your own name, maybe sell great software under your own name and under license...

If you're sure about what you're doing, go for it.
I'm for open source, but I should live somehow and maybe in a few years, when I end up with no money, I'll start selling some service/software. Although I'll always keep releasing free and open source stuff. In case I'll end up living upon my computer, I hope to be able to get what I need by getting my (strictly open-source) codes sponsorized.

You said you'd like to have your codes under your name, well, my codes always bring my name.

Well, using 2 separate Github accounts wouldn't necessarily be as hard as you might think, even to maintain using 2 differing names.
Linux Torvalds uses several Github accounts for various differing projects for differing entities.
Be that as it may, keep it simple and do what works best for you.

The problem is not that it might be hard (it isn't). The problem is that I have to separate them. For example I want my fellow students to be able to find and see what I program for HC and I want people on the forums to be able to see what I did for university. In addition I think that the nickname isn't worth anything when it comes to licenses.
Do you want to be known for a nickname that every person can just use be being the first one to register in a forum?
Actually I don't. I like to have my real name on the licenses for my open-source programs.
Linus Torvalds is also known by his real name (it is Linus, btw).

Thanks for you elaborate answer and advice, @noize. I am still unsure. It will either end in me not publishing any programs on forums like these anymore, because a license with my nick on it is probably worth nothing. Or I will leave the link to my github account here, thus publishing my identity.

I have separated all accounts stricktly by types. I had accounts for literature, art, etc. Deque is for everything hacking and programming related. So you probably won't find anything that is not known here too.
I am not a hacker, though. Just a programmer.
