Deep respect for this amazing individual! 🙏#nanofam
After years of anonymity it’s time for a reveal: I’m Milan (de Reede), the person behind the Mira Hurley account.
When I started posting on Twitter I worked at the Dutch central bank. To keep my crypto interests and my work separate, and because I was and am very critical of central banks, I needed an anonymous account.
When I moved to a crypto policy position at the central bank, which is a whole other story, anonymity became even more important:
1. After writing a widely shared critique of Bitcoin, someone dug up my real name and employer. They contacted my workplace, timestamping my posts to match them to Dutch working hours, highlighting posts they thought most objectionable to a central bank, and suggested they "do something about it."
2. I've received death threats, with one person including my home address in the threat. While likely just keyboard warriors, it was still concerning.
Because of this I understand why people prefer discussing crypto anonymously, and I gained an increased appreciation for privacy.
The reason I'm revealing my identity now is two-fold.
1. I left the central bank and started @NanoGPTCom together with @tweaterdotdk.
For those unfamiliar, NanoGPT provides access to a wide range of AI text and image generation models with a strong focus on user privacy.
We're proud of NanoGPT's growth and of decentralizing AI access, and revealing my identity allows us to grow NanoGPT (and Nano) faster.
2. We recently incorporated NanoGPT as a business. This means my real name is linked to NanoGPT. At least one person has already made the connection - there will be more. I'd rather "reveal" myself than have it be a gotcha.
My doxxing also comes with other advantages:
- I can attend meetups as myself.
- I'm now able to accept podcast and speaking requests.
- I can explain and spread crypto to a far broader audience.
I've always been very enthusiastic about crypto and it feels like I can do a lot more now.
To everyone who's followed Mira Hurley over the years: Hello world! It's nice to re-meet you all as Milan. My content will remain the same as it always has been, and I'm looking forward to speaking with you.
@mira_hurley @wholemars Let's call it a first round to seperate scame from those who actually deserve to be sponsored by one of the only truly legitimate projects out there that is the #nanofam. Our relentless perseverence will do the rest ;)
#nanofam in full force
70 minutes later: we got it. Ӿ800+ in the wallet, sent in from 28 different addresses (so far!).
I just sold 772.69 Nano (see proof) for the EUR 930 that I got charged for booking the Web Sponsor slot.
Amazed at how quickly this went and thankful for the trust put in me!
#nanofam @bitvavocom. I can't send and withdraw #xno #nano from @bitvavocom anymore due to 'on automated maintenance'. Care to share what kind of maintenance this is and how long this will take?
teamwork makes the dream work #nanofam

(but fr congrats @Kavanagh_Sean_ xoxo - and massive congrats @afreeelectron #nanofam!!!)
Massive Congrats to @Kavanagh_Sean_ who won a @Materials_MRS Graduate Student Award Gold Medal at the #S23MRS. The only finalist from a European Uni! @UCLChemistry @ImpMaterials @CDT_ACM @TCD_Chemistry. 🇮🇪 Very proud supervisor moment for @lonepair and I!!
#Nano is one of the most decentralized cryptocurrencies out there, thanks to its unique consensus mechanism that doesn't require expensive mining rigs or staking of large amounts of coins
