>True democratic and transparent electronic voting system is a legitimate use case for the block chain.
As always with these claims (that, as noted below, have not actually been implemented and so can only be speculated on), the question isn't whether this could be done with the blockchain, but rather whether this requires the blockchain to be done.
All too often the claimed magical things the blockchain will allow can be implemented far more easily with other, existing technology. So far it's a solution in search of a problem.
- sametmax 9y agoNobody is talking magic. We have a system with characteristics that maps to problems we wish to solve and we try to do it. Nothing wrong with that. The fact crypto is riddle with quick money making claims and project using the blockchain for sheer buzziness tends to make skeptics extra pessimistics in their views. It's unfair to the technology. We have a transaction oriented temper proof distributed transparent database. Those are objective features, and they deserve we give them a try.
