Your solution doesn't provide a solution to the core problem. How do you identify that voters have a vote, and people that shouldn't have a vote didn't vote.

So a system with trusted parties? Sounds like a database, so we can ignore the blockchain bit entirely.

Not sure why this was downvoted, this is quite literally the case. "BitTorrent" as a company was sold to "Tron", a "blockchain" company making the same nonsensical and impossible claims as the rest of them. Thi

I can imagine it’s very easy to scan the users photos for anything potentially of value and just steal that. Looking for skin tones would allow the theft of potentially sensitive images with low bandwidth and time budgets. Yahoo and others

Bluetooth LE has orders of magnitude less power consumption than WiFi. Bear in mind this is a totally distinct protocol to Bluetooth. Many products use a Bluetooth LE and Bluetooth connection in tandem to gain the capabilities of both.

Just wait until apple adds a “recently accessed photos” list or better permissions. So many apps are going to be found to snarf photos due to the lax permissions.

You’re joking right? It’s “allow ssh as root with a publicly available ssh key”. Your version is making it sound mundane.

SHA2 is used in many places in bitcoin. It’s collision resistance is used too, ie in merkel trees.

You can’t prove you did without revealing the nonce, and therefor the private key.

It works for me quite well, but that’s because I’m almost always roaming. The experience of being able to have a pocket full of data SIMs at no code is great. Mostly I never see it, or think about it, it just works. Though honestly I’m sort

For what, exactly. People keep saying this and having nothing backing up why it could possibly be useful to have a mechanism for receiving broadcast files with a lot of dedicated hardware required.
