I'm not a huge fan of most blockchain applications, but it seems like recording votes in an election would be a reasonable application of the technology.

- wilkystyle 6y agoCurious why this comment was downvoted; is it because of the sentiment on most blockchain applications, or because of a disagreement that recording votes in an election would be a reasonable application of the technology?
- khaki54 6y agoWould love to see something like this. You get a one time secret hash or key assigned when you vote, and a receipt, and then it’s recorded to public ledger where you can check your vote so you know it’s real and correct. Meanwhile everything is publicly countable.
- tatersolid 6y agoYour system would allow you to sell your vote to the highest bidder with proof. A lot of really smart people have been working on this for decades. Electronic voting isn’t actually an easy problem.
