Thanks for the leads. Appreciated.
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.
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.

BCX already mentioned ArtForz, so I'll throw in DeathAndTaxes, although I'm not sure if he messes with alts.
Coblee (Charles Lee, creator of Litecoin)
Plus already mentioned Warren Togami (Litecoin), Sunny King (Peercoin and Primecoin) and Dr Kimoto Chan (Megacoin)

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.
Come-From-Beyond is the guy. 
+1440!
sunny king - primecoin & peercoin
dr.kimoto chan - megacoin (kimoto gravity well inventor)

So when is the interview? I charge only $5000 per minute. 
Huntercoind dev may be a tricky interview to arrange
Tranz
BitcoinEXpress
snailbrain - Huntercoin - I am not into it, but must have been difficult
SunnyKing
I don't think DarkSend is in any way special or anonymous

Don't forget about RealSolid

Warren Togami , lead dev of Litecoin https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Wtogami
he created Fedora Linux .

that is high aiming. its going to be difficult to interview Togami but its worth to try!
no it won't , hes a active member here and at the litecointalk forums https://litecointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=12835
did not know that! it is nice thing to know that a guy like him is still active and not running away from the rest of the community
Quark and Worldcoin has the brightest devs this moment.
Quark however is mined out, and I am not sure how to judge it. (coin wise, the devs are good, MatrixFighter seems well knowledged)
Worldcoin seems like it will keep going upstream, the devs are smart, and eager to regulate. (Kevorsen appears particularly well rounded on knowledge on their forum.)
and of course, the Litecoin group. They are doing well for a reason.
and I am not saying this out of anything, I have been observing, and looking to do similar to you.
hey, we can share info if you want to.
in the industry?
Looking to interview them (and possibly hire).
I don't think you will be able to afford the smartest crypto minds unless you have millions to invest. The reason I say that is they can already make millions without you. Best to find the coins they are developing and invest in them.
