- marcosdumay 13y agoCreating a secure voting system based on pseudonyms (for granting anonymity) looks like a relatively easy task. In fact, for me it looks like the only way to make a secure and anonymous voting system (even paper ballots aren't completely so). The problem is what will make the government follow the people's decisions?
- dragonwriter 13y agoPseudonymity is not anonymity. In fact, blockchain-style pseudonymity means you can prove that a pseudonym is yours, which means it fails spectacularly to serve the purpose for which anonymity is sought in ballots (particularly, it can be used for "prove you voted this way and I will reward you, else I will punish you", the avoidance of which is a key purpose of anonymous ballots.) > In fact, for me it looks like the only way to make a secure and anonymous voting system (even paper ballots aren't completely so). Nothing is completely secure, nor completely anonymous.
