How we get more people voting:
We will introduce a "Forging Pool" in the future (as a dapp). Delegates can run them on their nodes and register their delegate account on the sidechain. With this pool the delegates can then distribute a part of their earnings to the voters automatically every X days.
This will create an incentive for users to withdraw funds from the exchanges and vote for trusted individuals. In order to confirm trusted individuals, we will introduce an "Identity Dapp" in the future, in which people can associate their account with an username, real name, social media profiles, photo, and much more.
Let me get this straight. Fairness will be ensured by linking a specific identity to the ability to sign a distributed ledger.
This is
not a good idea. Several countries are beginning to enact serious legislation and take serious interest in distributed ledgers. In Russia, for example, they will send someone to prison simply for
using it. Who knows what will happen to a signatory.
In the US, it has been suggested that current laws make signatories liable for filings with the SEC, CFTC, and likely any other agency that unilaterally declares its own jurisdiction.
Fairness must come from game theory, not by exposing the signatories to massive liability. The latter is a way to ensure the absence of fairness.
If game theory means that someone may control a delegate indefinitely, I don't see how that's a problem.
