3) Begin your campaign, and entice investors and users to vote for you by proving that you are a capable and viable candidate

How will the actual voting go in that way? I generated the address, have found people that want to vote for me, and then?

For now, you have to be voted in manually.

To Vote

send your candidate a small token maybe 0.001 NRs to signify your support, the more votes that person gets, the higher the chances they will succeed.

Once we get a web dev, we'll get the website updated.

As for syncing, our servers at centarra are not useable at the moment, i am considering options.

I am sorry to be negative, but that system cannot work. It is very simplistic and fraud will be imminent.
1. I can send multiple tokens (coins?) to my own address, each is one vote, so then I will pay for my own votes and get chosen.
2. A website cannot replace the blockchain, in fact has nothing to do with the blockchain other than that you can represent information from the blockchain on it
3. People can vote multiple times for the same person
4. How do I know who voted? In the GF I guess that other GF holders vote, but not other people, how to prevent that?

I'm mobile so i cant say too much, but let me correct you.

So user A votes themselves multiple times. the question becomes what % does this user control of the total money supply? If user A votes for himself and controls 10% of the money supply, but other users B-Z vote for user a1 while they control 10% as well, then user a1 gets elected.

The website is not meant to replace the block chain, it is meant to provide voting instructions in a clearer manner than these posts on the forum. You did ask how it works right? We also use the website to show information of which candidates address has how many votes and who currently occupies the office. Later on, this will likely be worked into the client, but for now, you will be referred to a website to get the stats.

Does it matter that a person has voted multiple times? In this case it does not because we do not only count votes, we also consider what weight of the chain is controlled by the voters. a 0.001 vote from an address holding 0.1 coins is worth much less than a 0.001 vote from an address with 10 NRS.

We can always have a print out of who voted, and votes in NRS are for the community, not just GF, the GF has exclusive voting rights in NG but not in the DACs themselves.

Usually, it is best to try something out before trying to poke holes in it or to outright dismiss it, it's a bit narrow minded. And "simple" usually has better results with regard to software in comparison with complicated solutions.

I'm not saying there aren't flaws, there are obviously issues with every system, but lets try to use the boat, not put cannon balls through the hull.
