BitcoinVoice: Vote on polls using Bitcoin signatures with pseudo-Proof of Stake
I just finished the alpha version of www.BitcoinVoice.com
The recent debates about SegWit, Hardforking, etc and concerns about astroturfing led me to look for some way to cut through the bullshit. I wanted to build a platform where we could gauge the Bitcoin community's opinions, but in a way that's verifiable and meaningful; immune to astroturfing.
So I've spent the past few weeks putting together BitcoinVoice. Basically it's a list of polls, and anyone can vote in them. Votes are cast using Bitcoin signatures, so they can be verified. Each vote is weighted by the balance of the associated address. Proof of Stake without protocol changes!
I'm calling this an alpha release. It works just fine, but ... it's ugly as hell Sorry! Feedback, comments, etc are totally welcome! Please let me know what you think.
I really hope this can be useful!
Thanks for reading!
NOTE: The friendly folks over at #bitcoin informed me that a similar site already exists over at bitcoin.com ... which I didn't know about. I guess ... at least BitcoinVoice isn't bitcoin.com?
