OTOH, if telling your plan could truly compromise it, best not to disclose it.
It's been said that you keep your friends close and your enemies closer. As far as this work goes, I use a technique very similar to that of writers of computer viruses. The theme of which is, always keep something in the pipeline and use what is called a watchdog to pull it back if you are not ready. Otherwise the information stream flows automatically, like when you are found squished under a bus. The watchdog must be made completely manual and have ever changing codes. If a check window for the watchdog is missed, the information spreads just like a virus. Some also refer to this as a dead man switch, though in this case it is purposefully kept more complex. Take Don Smith for example. He had a stroke and could barely remember what some of his devices did, let alone how to hook them up. If he would have had a similar insurance policy, all his stuff would have went public the moment he went to the hospital. There's a good chance if foul play was involved, he would have never had that stroke in the first place. That's the idea, the rest is all about your personal beliefs. It bothers me that we are monitored like chickens in a coup; even yourself with a PhD in Physics. There are guys out there that if they wanted to do something bad, there would be nothing but a smoking hole in the ground. To me its a matter of trust and the ones that are fearful are the very ones causing all the problems. I simply don't want to play their game any more. I want to be open and honest and just live my life. I'm sure I'm not alone. But until we get the upper hand, we'll have to cover our bases and make it as difficult on our opponent as we can. I truly look forward to a day when I can state publicly that I'm completely off the grid, fully self-sufficient and willing to help anyone else that wants to do the same. And if something happens to me, I know there are at least a half dozen forums, hundreds of email addresses and several archives that will get every last byte of data I have detailing how I did it. For now, there is still a lot of learning and work to do, so I'm no threat. Someday, hopefully very soon, that will change. With that change will come a focus and an unwillingness to live in fear as a slave to thoughs I do not respect. They can destroy my life and kill me, but it won't make me go away. Their problem will just get a lot harder.
