Looking forward to the next update.

Don't hold your breath.

The 2011 foundational work was basically a preliminary exploration by researchers not entirely familiar with the methods of experimental psychology. The write-up was informal, failed to describe the method in enough detail to support independent reproduction, wasn't published in a peer-reviewed journal relevant to the domain of study and the work hasn't been pursued any further by the main researcher. I'm not sure of its pertinence to the project other than the spurious media interest it generated at the time.

Cheers,

Hi all,

Apologies for the delayed response and thank you for your interest.

Unfortunately I shelved the project. I don't have the capacity to take this on on my own in any reasonable timeframe and the coder pulled out.

lobbes - It seems voting is really taking off now. TalkCoin (which had dev troubles) seems to have done well implementing a chat system which could be used as an element of a voting system. The NuBits devs have incorporated a voting system too, which I recommend looking into here: nubits.com/nushares/voting-mechanics

Graham, you're right about the lack of peer review. To clarify, I had no connections to the study and was suggesting it as a possible way to verify that at least the user is human in a decentralised system.

Verification of voters is perhaps the biggest challenge in implementing a decentralised voting system which people can put their faith in. Any other ideas are welcome.

Hope this clears things up! Cheesy
