I've been working on a decentralized electronic voting protocol that's fully peer to peer, eliminates the possibility of electoral fraud or double voting, keeps votes private, and is verifiable by anyone.

It benefits from Nostr relays, and Bitcoin’s clock, and DOES NOT require a blockchain or token.

I would greatly appreciate cypherpunk eyes looking over it before releasing.

fucking legend


Some people have suggested this is a joke, no, I'm serious.

Must said cypherpunk eyes be able to read code? Or are eyes with a cypherpunk spirit sufficiently capable of giving your work a review?

(Would love to see what you’re doing)


Spirit.
It's a protocol design, not code.

Can anyone help look at some code?

Great post 👍


where is the code?


Couple friends and I also are working on something similar, but ours is centralized (by design). I am curious what you came up with 🙂!


have a look, I'll dm


it is protocol, not code yet, anyone can write the code.

you can read it early on request if you wish to review and give comments

It uses ZKP, right? Certainly yes. I've been studying this for a while. Very promising.
Following you.


Version 1 doesn't need to. If the next iteration would a peoples' vote, where a vote can be privately cast independent to an official election. I discuss this in the paper.

Also ZKPs (the zk stark variety), I found are a sophisticated scam. The regular zk proofs have a trusted setup which can be acceptable if managed well (but not for a currency, btw).


Send it, I'll read tonight


Thanks for your work 🫡


Great post 🫡


Voting for what? For politicians? That is totally useless


Sweet 🤙


Would love to read it, I've also reviewed your code on parmanode (it's a piece of art btw).


Love what you are working on, but not for sure I have the technical skills to review.  Would love to help in other ways or with testing.  Thank you.


Hello ! I’d be very interested to drop an eye wit too :)


What voting method(s) does it use/support
