To hide under the great cover of anonymity, let us suppose that I have found something worth great recognition and possibly a prize in mathematics, how do I know that I will not be stolen out of it? How do I know that by sharing it someone will not try to write out their own copy of it and submit it before I do? This leads me into an endless chain of paranoia since that I know of nothing that can protect me if I was to check the validity of my formulation with an expert in the field. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
